They have seen and heard me cry, get angry, and every emotion in between that you experience going through a separation. I can't thank Georgia enough for her empathy and experience in guiding me through this foreign situation.

I had a great experience with Orbell. Sheree was great in getting my case rolling then Savanna took over and seen it through till the end. Savanna was great, easy to work with and fiercely had my back through the entire proceedings.

Not only was Sheree extremely knowledgeable, she would 'check in' with me to make sure I knew what was happening at all times. I am proud to be a client. Her legal representation restored my faith in the justice system.

Sheree had tremendous strategies in place, and was extremely cool & calm in her approach and in general. Sheree was very well-organised, and was in complete control of the case, it felt. I had complete confidence with her in charge.
