Not only will she apply her legal expertise in finding the best possible outcome, but she will also take time in getting to know you, your individual needs and advocate for you relentlessly within the legal framework.

​

In her Property practice, Sarah has successfully completed major off the plan commercial and residential property sales.

In her Family Practice, equipped with her years working as a counsellor, Sarah is empathetic to your needs and the stressors a family breakdown can have on you and your dependants. Sarah will provide you with step by step advice on what to expect from the mediation and court process and will ensure she understands your needs and vision in relation to your settlement.

​

In her Probate and Estates Practice, Sarah is sincere in providing a tailored service to the Muslim Community. With her background studies in Islamic Sciences, Sarah tailors her will drafting to the spiritual backgrounds and needs of her chosen demographic. The will is an initiation of the will maker into the next world and acceptance of their return to it, but it is also the blueprint of facilitating ease for those who are left behind mourning. Combining her experience in Australian Law and Islamic Law, Sarah tailors her drafting to ensuring the wishes of the will maker are in accordance with their belief system and equally enforceable in the Australian Court system.
