"I've been very fortunate to have Chloe as my representation for my custody and financial separation matters.

Ultimately, Chloe has put me on a path towards a brilliant outcome for me, my family and my future to which I am extremely grateful for."
"During what has been an incredibly stressful time, Chloe and her team have been extremely professional, empathetic, responsive and supportive to me and my daughter. My situation became complex when the IVO matter arose, and soon after my Family Court matter was moved to the Evatt List. Chloe is highly knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to family law matters and has been strategic in her approach. Chloe has brought the best of Lander & Rogers to my matter and also relevant specialist Barristers at the right time to support my complex case. I cannot recommend Chloe highly enough and I am grateful to be represented by her."
"I recently went through a difficult and complicated separation with my husband. Chloe was able to finalise my matter efficiently and promptly whilst making sure that every detail was covered. She was very professional whilst also being empathetic to what I was going through. Chloe's approach and sincerity is what gave me comfort knowing I could get through what had to be done. My outcome was financially better than I ever expected."
"Chloe combines a highly empathic sense of her client's needs with a meticulous approach towards all aspects of case management over a protracted period of time. I was particularly impressed with her written documentation which helped to frame a compelling narrative and manoeuvre a very delicate situation in an ultimately positive direction. Chloe's advocacy skills, temperament and sound advice in family law offer a comprehensive package and I would unreservedly recommend her to any future client."
"In what has been a very challenging time, Chloe has expertly provided advice and assistance. She has understood a complex and nuanced situation involving a psychiatrically unwell party whom has been reluctant to engage. Chloe is personable, wickedly intelligent and reassuring. As such, I have left every conversation with trust that Chloe and her team understand my situation and provide the best advice for me and my young children. If in the unfortunate situation of requiring a family lawyer, I could not recommend Chloe enough."
