I am so grateful to have had Tamara as my family law solicitor. From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, and always available when I needed reassurance or clarity. Her honest and straightforward approach made me feel safe and informed at every step, and I never once felt left in the dark. During one of the most difficult and emotional times in my life, Tamara’s support, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Tamara at Hilcrest is my absolute hero!! She was able to unravel the kaos of the Applicants application and fight for my children’s best interests her attention to detail is beyond superior. She has a superior ability to summarize and articulate the most complex of cases in a way that creates evidence based case that the courts understand Tamara also ensures a much more affordable representation than most family lawyers. Her extensive experience and skill is evident. Thanks to Tamara my children were the winners.

Lillian Sandona

If you’re looking for a lawyer who’s equal parts boss, calm in the chaos and absolutely brilliant at what she does, Tamara is it. She represented me 4years ago and again recently, and every single time she proves why I’ll never go to anyone else and the only person I’d recommend for the job.

She always puts my kids first, explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and answers my questions quicker than most people reply to a text. She listens, she cares, and she genuinely knows her stuff from top to bottom.

Honestly, if I ever ended up on the other side of Tamara… I’d pack my bags and call it a day. No chance I’d want to go up against her.

With her in your corner, the stress level goes from “meltdown” to “ I can breathe again”. If you’re lucky enough to have her representing you, you’ve already won the battle.

Five stars is no where near enough!

JP O

I engaged Hillcrest Family lawyers to represent me in my legal matter.
Tamara has been an incredible asset during what has been a long and challenging legal journey. Despite the obstacles, her dedication and expertise led to a favorable outcome that I am grateful for.

From the start, Tamara stood out for her ability to explain complex legal matters in layman’s terms, ensuring I always felt informed and involved. She was always available to answer my questions and she consistently communicated with clarity and patience.
Beyond her exceptional legal knowledge and straightforward approach, she also provided much-needed moral support during times when I felt like giving up. Her strength of character and unwavering encouragement truly made a difference.
Her extensive experience and sharp instincts were evident throughout the process, and I couldn’t have asked for a more capable advocate.
Given the other party I have to deal with, I will most likely need to call on her services again in the future. But knowing I can count on Tamara in my corner gives me great peace of mind.

if you’re about to embark in that long dark stressful road that is the legal system, you need Tamara’s knowledge, experience and courage on your side.
I highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a solicitor who embodies expertise with compassion.

P K

Going through a divorce is a probably one of the most stressful and antagonist events that can occur in adult life. Especially when children are involved and significant assets are to be divided. I was recommended to contact Tamara when I asked other friends who they would recommend and I’m grateful for their advice. Tamara explained the whole process of divorce, reassured me of my position and achieved a better result than previous lawyers had advised, without having to go to court. I always felt that I was well supported throughout the whole process and all my queries and concerns were attended to in a thorough and thoughtful manner. I was very happy with the way Tamara and her team managed my divorce. I have now moved on with my life in less than a year from commencing the whole process and I couldn’t be happier.

Ngotho Ngugi

Tamara was a true lifesaver during my divorce and property case. She was not only professional but also kind, supportive, and genuinely caring throughout the whole process

Shaun Atkins

Had my 11 month old daughter taken away from me by her mother . I was refused any contact. the mother made multiple allegations of domestic violence and avos. I spent 12 months and tens of thousands of dollars with a solicitor that said I would never get unsupervised visitation. Tamara took my very complex and challenging case on with no biased opinions. Tamara was very open and honest about how difficult this matter would be. After 9 months of Tamara representing me I got to bring my daughter home every second weekend unsupervised. After another six months and a four day trial Tamara and her council were successful in exposing the lies and hatred that one parent can harbour for the other parent. Tamara was successful in getting me full custody of my now 4 old daughter. I would like to thank Tamara for all her support help and hard work for bringing my daughter home.
