"To the staff of Mahler Family Law -
I wish to express my deepest appreciation for the support and guidance that I have received from Richard and the wonderful staff at MFL during the difficult process of a post marital property settlement. Richard was responsive, respectful and compassionate throughout the proceedings and provided me with a "legal champion" when I needed it most.
I would not hesitate to recommend Richard to any person seeking support of this nature as I believe legal professionals of this calibre that operate with these attributes are extremely few and far between.
Thanks again."

"I am grateful for the professional legal services of Richard Mahler regarding my divorce and property settlement. At all times, Richard was professional, approachable, honest and understanding of my emotions, which greatly helped matters during this time. Patiently, Richard went to great lengths to research and find the details I needed to satisfy me that all items and possible avenues which I could follow would be covered for a complete property settlement. His communications throughout were prompt, clear and friendly.
I can highly recommend Richard Mahler for any Family Law related services."

"My divorce was probably the most stressful time in my life.
When I finally set up an appointment with my lawyer, I felt I was the ultimate failure. I always thought a marriage would work if you worked at it, and mine hadn't.
My biggest fear was that my husband would take my children from me.
When I came in, I was nervous and unsure. I think I was actually still in shock that this was really happening.
Richard answered all my questions, explained my rights and worked out a strategy with me. And for the first time since I knew that my marriage was over, I felt a huge burden lift. I had direction again."

"Up until my mediation with Richard I had many issues with my former spouse involving communication, parental custody and child support.
Within our four hour mediation we had implemented a parental custody schedule, agreed upon child support payments, acknowledged that the needs of our daughter must come first and worked towards set times and dates for open communication with each other and our child.
Richard has assisted in making our divorce straight forward and understandable, taking away the anxiety from the unknown path experienced through divorce, and assisted myself and former spouse to create a brighter path for our child's future."

"Richard ... was given a drastically reduced timeframe compared to normal to work with my court trial. He accepted the task out of compassion for myself in my deep time of need. He put his natural ability to work, and spent many many long hours preparing himself and gaining an understanding as to my needs and where we needed to be pointed.
He represented me in family law with absolute professionalism, and I haven't hesitated to recommend him to others, and shall continue to do so.
If you want a legal practitioner with compassion, honesty and broad knowledge of the system, you need not look any further than Richard."

"Richard,
Thankyou so much for your professional support in our fight to have our daughters returned ... You stood your ground in this intransigence, with a subtlety we admire.
You showed sympathy and compassion, whilst at the same time communicating your instructions in a manner we could understand. You were direct when required, but always with respect.
It is our belief quick success hinged on the fact we engaged you at the start ... It was hard to accept the 28 days the Department demanded in the first instance, but we acquiesced on your instructions. What a wise decision this was in hindsight.
You organised and arranged a Psychologist for our daughter ... which supplied the knock out evidence, and which has afforded her ongoing positive treatment ...
We forward our sincere thanks from the entire family, and recommend your services highly ..."

"Having been seperated only a little while, and communication between my daughter's dad and I being strained, it was good to be able to have someone to be there to mediate.
Richard was kind and really helped us to be able to communicate well what we wanted, and also offered guidance on how to go about what we each wanted so the outcome was fair and in the best interests of my daughter.
It was a very professional meeting but still warm and comfortable at the same time. Thank you Richard."
