You deal with me. Not a junior. Not a referral.
I'm Neil Kirby. I've practised family law for over 15 years. When you call my number, I answer. When your matter needs attention, I handle it. One lawyer from your first call to your final resolution.
15+ years in family law. Parramatta.
You don't need more stress right now.
You might be up late, trying to figure out where you stand. Maybe you've just been served papers. Maybe you've been thinking about this for years and something finally broke. Whatever brought you here, you need someone who will listen, explain your options in plain English, and be straight with you about what's realistic.
You're not sure where you stand
You don't know what you're entitled to, what the process looks like, or how long it takes. That's normal. That's what the first conversation is for.
You're worried about the cost
Legal fees are a real concern. I give you a clear picture of costs upfront. No surprises. No trust account games.
You don't want to end up in court
Most of my clients never see a courtroom. I negotiate and mediate first. Court is a last resort, not a first step.
Family law, estate disputes, and criminal matters. Under one roof.
If your matter crosses practice areas, you don't get bounced between firms. I handle it.
Property Settlement
Dividing what you built together. I negotiate fair outcomes under the Family Law Act and keep matters out of court where possible.
Children and Parenting
Custody, visitation, and parenting orders. Practical arrangements that put your children first.
Child Support
Agreements that reflect your family's real circumstances. Not just the formula.
Financial Agreements
Binding financial agreements before, during, or after a relationship. Protection that holds up.
Estate Disputes
Challenging wills, contesting estates, executor disputes. When a loved one's wishes aren't being honoured.
Criminal Law
Local Court and District Court representation, AVOs, and traffic matters.
One lawyer. Your lawyer.

Call me directly
No receptionist. No intake form. You call 0433 623 651, you speak to me. The lawyer who will handle your matter.
I'll tell you where you stand
I'll listen, ask the right questions, and give you an honest assessment. What you're entitled to, what it will cost, and how long it should take. No false promises.
We resolve it
Whether through negotiation, mediation, or court, I handle every step. You always know what's happening and why.
Questions you probably have
You speak to me. Every call, every email, every court appearance. There are no juniors or paralegals at Kirby Law. I handle your matter personally from start to finish.
I'll give you a clear cost estimate at our first conversation. No vague "it depends" without explanation. Straightforward matters can often be resolved through negotiation at a fraction of what court proceedings cost.
Probably not. Most family law matters settle without a trial. I prioritise negotiation and mediation because it's faster, cheaper, and less stressful. If your matter does need court, I've been doing this for 15 years. I know the process.
Call me. There's usually a deadline to respond, so don't wait. I'll review what you've been served and tell you exactly what it means and what your options are. You haven't lost anything by being served first.
That's fine. You don't need to have your story perfect before we talk. Most of my clients start exactly where you are now. The first conversation is for figuring out where you stand.
No. I'm based in Parramatta. Experienced family law without the CBD commute or the CBD overheads on your bill.

You don't need to have it all figured out. That's what the first conversation is for.
