Hi, I’m Sharni. 

I’m a family lawyer and I’ve been practising exclusively in the area of family law for the past 16 years. Prior to this, I worked at Legal Aid Western Australia for 4 years as a paralegal whilst undertaking my university study. I deal with all aspects of family law- children’s arrangements, property settlement, spousal maintenance, child support, divorce, relocation, adoption, and binding financial agreements. I am trained as an Independent Children’s Lawyer and have previously acted on behalf of children as appointed by the Family Court of Western Australia. I am also a Collaborative Practitioner, and was previously on the Council of Collaborative Professionals Western Australia.

More importantly than all of that, I know separation is incredibly difficult and I have seen its impact on families. I am committed to trying to reduce conflict for my clients and resolve their matters, allowing clients to move on towards their future. I want to empower and support you through your separation journey.
