Our Firm's Values

Trust, honesty, excellence, expertise and a thorough understanding of the law…. that all goes without saying! But what makes us different at Romer Maud Family Lawyers? 

Kindness

Kindness is being friendly, generous, and considerate to others and yourself. It’s so easy to forget this part. When you’re going through separation, you’re focussed on holding it together for everyone else around you.

Separation is an incredibly complex emotional experience. Our lawyers are compassionate, empathetic, and above all, we are kind – and we will help you remember to be kind to yourself when it all feels overwhelming.

“You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Equality

No matter who you are, and what journey you’ve been on, you are entitled to be treated with equality – diversity, inclusion and equality are central to our vision of a flourishing society, whether that be in your family, our firm or your local community.

Embracing equality also means celebrating difference and individuality. No two individuals are the same. We will hear you, understand you, and tailor your pathway through separation specifically for you.

Celebration

Stop and smell the roses, even on your worst days!

It’s easy to get bogged down in the rush and hurry of everyday life, especially when you’re stressed and overwhelmed, like when you’re going through separation.

Being truly present in the moment helps us to appreciate the small joys, and to recognise the big wins – take the time to appreciate, be grateful for what we’ve got, and to celebrate!

For us in our personal lives, and our work lives, and for our clients – noticing the little joys and celebrating the milestones helps us to feel happy and content.

As parents, we get it – your children are your world. They are the centre of everything you do. Ensuring we understand and hear your concerns and priorities when it comes to your children is at our core.

Family comes first for the team at Romer Maud Family Lawyers, too – we create space to thrive in business and in our family life.

Transformation

Separation is not just the end of something, it’s also the start! It’s a time of transformation, growth, and evolution. Our emphasis on whole client care, not just a great legal outcome, ensures you will emerge on the other side calm, in control, and enthusiastic about your new life.

What is whole client care? Ensuring your emotional needs (not just legals!) are understood and taken care of, so you can embrace your power on the other side.

Highly recommend Romer Maud for their legal expertise in family law and professionalism, but equally their care and support throughout the process - in particular Emina Hiddick who was an absolute rock and guiding light throughout, always patient, responsive and generous with her time, knowledge of the legal system and advice. I felt confident and fortunate to have Emina representing me and helping me navigate a challenging time.

I am so grateful for the team at Romer Maud Family Lawyers, especially Aimee, Annalise, and most of all, Durra. At the start of my matter, Aimee helped me feel supported and understood, and I really appreciated how easy she was to talk to. Durra was incredible from beginning to end. She was always patient, honest, supportive, prepared, and I had complete trust in her throughout the process. Durra went above and beyond, explained everything clearly, and genuinely made me feel like I had someone in my corner. Her expertise, dedication, and kindness made an enormous difference during an emotional and challenging time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to guide me. Thanks to her support and guidance, I was able to reach the outcome I was hoping for. Annalise and the rest of the team were also fantastic, always organised, responsive, and ready to help whenever I needed anything. I felt like I could rely on all of them. Their support helped me get through one of the most difficult times in my life, and I’m deeply thankful for everything they did. I would wholeheartedly recommend this team to anyone looking for supportive and caring family lawyers.

I’m deeply grateful for everything she’s done, she’s not only an exceptional lawyer but a wonderful person. I wholeheartedly recommend Romer Maud Family Lawyers to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy team to stand by their side.

Great lawyers went above and beyond for me and got me more than I was expecting, both Annalise and Aimee were both working with me for 18 months and I couldn't be happier with everything they done for me. I highly recommend the team, if I could give more stars I would

I was really pleased with the service of the lawyer who spoke with me. There was no pressure to commit to more appointments and she addressed my problem thoroughly. Their service seems to be very professional.

Durra Baraz did an amazing job handling everything to get a great outcome in a timely manner and cost effective. I can not speak highly enough about Durra for family law matters. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks Durra

Romer Maud made such a difference during my divorce proceedings. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and prompt service and support. If you find yourself going through a divorce i could not recommend the whole team more to help you through such a difficult period of your life.

Great informative web site. Admin staff super friendly and efficient and not pushy. Friendly and knowledgeable lawyer who directed me appropriately. Because I didn’t use my allotted time I received a refund of my fees WITHOUT asking !
