Summah Boyd

Legal Secretary

Summah Boyd is a Legal Secretary at Orbell Family Lawyers, known for her calm, compassionate approach and strong organisational skills. She understands the emotional toll of family law matters and is dedicated to supporting clients behind the scenes so they feel informed, cared for, and confident throughout their legal journey.

With over two years of experience in family law, alongside prior work in criminal and estates law, Summah brings a well-rounded skill set to her role. Her attention to detail and ability to stay one step ahead make her an invaluable support to both clients and the legal team.

Summah’s passion for family law is deeply personal. Having navigated a complex parenting matter herself, she knows firsthand how overwhelming the process can be. This experience drives her commitment to providing clarity, compassion, and consistency to those going through similar challenges.

Her strengths lie in her ability to manage matters from start to finish with efficiency and discretion. She holds a Certificate in Legal Administration and works closely with solicitors to ensure deadlines are met and clients feel supported every step of the way.

Outside of work, Summah enjoys a relaxed Central Coast lifestyle with her two daughters. She loves beach days, early nights, and spending time with family and friends.
