Erica and Max at Clark Panagakos have been beyond amazing. From the day I first met Erica when I was going through one of the hardest times in my life she made me feel supported, heard and not alone and I had full trust in her that she was going to do the best for me, and she did exactly that. She was honest the entire time and always had my best interest at heart, it was never about making money from me as I know some lawyers can be and always only about getting me in the best possible position financially and for my family and future. Max was also amazing and held the same values and support that Erica showed me. He was very clear and explained things in a way that I could understand every step of the way. Both of them were also extremely responsive and didn’t have to wait to hear from them, especially at such a stressful time. Her and the team are incredible and worth every bit of time and money spent with them. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Bev's professional no BS approach was great when going through a divorce. She explains and conducts it with no sugar coating and in layman's terms with out wasting time or money. I would highly recommend but hopefully wont need to use again.
I will be forever grateful to Claire for resolving my Parenting Order application. Claire is extremely knowledgeable, professional and forthright, when required. Yet somehow remains empathetic and genuinely caring. She was able to reason with and give a reality check to a completely unreasonable respondent. Her approach allowed me to avoid a drawn out court process and resulted in my application being accepted in full. I cannot recommend her more highly.
From the moment I walked out of Claire Lesiuk's office at Clark Panagakos Family Law having had my first debrief of my divorce situation with her, I knew I was in highly capable hands. She approached my situation with the utmost professionalism, wealth of knowledge, providing clear, straightforward advice that surprisingly unlike other lawfirms always aimed at keeping my legal costs at a minimum. What truly sets Claire apart is her genuine kindness, understanding, incredible attention to detail, knowledge, and experience in family law, and consideration of costs to her clients. She made an incredibly difficult and stressful time in my life much more manageable. So if you are struggling getting through your divorce and settlement then you NEED Claire to defend you. Claire is, without a doubt, the nicest lawyer I have ever come across. I hope I never need to use another lawyer again, if I do or anyone else I know needs a good lawyer it will be her I recommend. For those I don't know, I leave this review that if you reading this and need the best family lawyer in Adelaide that will represent and most of all actually 'defend' you I can't recommend Claire enough. The review only let me go up to 5 stars! Thank you Claire, and the team at Clark Panagakos Family Law!
From my very first meeting with Erica I was greeted with respect, kindness and understanding. Erica’s professionalism, hard work and dedication is truly outstanding. During difficult, stressful and challenging times Erica’s unwavering support, compassion and her ability to help me understand the legal process and keep me informed was amazing. Erica always ensured that the best interests for me and my family were always first and foremost. Her trusted and sound advice were testament to receiving a successful outcome. I was extremely fortunate to have Erica represent and advise me during the course of my matter. I would use Erica again in a heartbeat (although hopefully I never have to!) My gratitude for Erica and all she has done for me is beyond words. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and I’m so thankful. Thank you Erica!
