I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for Ms Har-Ching Chiang of James & Jaramillo Lawyers. I wholeheartedly recommend ‘Ching’ as a Family Lawyer.

She is the very first Lawyer I engaged in my life and I am thankful that I got her in my highly emotional, complex and life-changing case. Out of 3 law firms I attended, only Ching who took time to listen, provide legal perspective and able to provide hope.

My family law matter was very stressful but Ching was able to make the process feel less daunting. She handled my case with skill and professionalism whilst demonstrating genuine empathy and compassion and ensuring I was always informed and supported.

She was always responsive to my questions and concerns, providing timely updates and reassurance throughout the process. She explained my case in a clear and concise manner.

I am truly grateful for Ching’s support during a very challenging time. Her expertise has truly made a big difference in advocating for my best interest. I highly recommend Ching’s services to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate Family Lawyer.

James & Jaramillo

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to James & Jaramillo for their outstanding legal representation and support in my recent matter. Their professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail were evident from the outset. On 29 April 2025, they appeared before Her Honour Magistrate Moody at the Downing Centre Local Court, and the matter was successfully resolved.

A special thanks to Tom, who handled our case with confidence, clarity, and ease. His expertise and calm approach provided great reassurance throughout the process. I am truly grateful for his dedication and support.

I highly recommend James & Jaramillo to anyone in need of experienced, reliable, and professional legal assistance.
Thank you so much
Kind regards

Tamsin from James and Jaramillo Solicitors recently represented my daughter in a traffic matter, and I was really impressed with the whole experience. She was professional, courteous, and made what could have been a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Tamsin explained everything clearly, kept us in the loop throughout the process, and handled the case with real care and attention. I felt confident having her in my daughter’s corner, and I was so grateful for her help. I would definitely recommend her and the firm to anyone needing legal assistance.

I recently had a chance to avail services from JnJ. I was lucky to have Jamie Carter representing me in the court. She is a thorough professional and listens to all the relevant points without a rush. She put facts n figures in highly professional way to magistrate and highlighted those points which were helpful in turning case decision in my favour. Although she is young but i must say she has tons of experience in handling the clients and providing professional lawyer services. Thanks Jamie Carter 🙂

My recent experience with
Jonathan Jaramillio has been nothing but outstanding 👏 extremely professional and spectacular! My husband was charged with a very serious offence being GBH grievous bodily harm ! Jonathan got quick to work getting him released from custody/prison on supreme court bail as well as not long after getting his bail varied where he could have some normality back in h7
Is life. He took extreme care and passion in getting the best possible results as well as keeping us up to date on case and matter with utmost professionalism. He was sentenced yesterday and the result was unimaginable for the serious offence. He was charged and convicted with that being a 3 year Community Correction Order and removing all strict conditions. NO JAIL TIME
Jonathan Handled The Case Like A KC Barrister His Performance Was Spectacular
I would recommend Jonathan to all my family and friends if the need arises without hesitation.

Once Again Jonathan Thank You Very Much For Getting My husband The Best Possible Result.

I had the pleasure of being assisted by Jaime. She was highly responsive and very knowledgeable, never too busy to answer any questions I had. She drafted representations (an offer) which got accepted by the police.

Jaime advised me that the s14 had a high chance of being successful. I had the opportunity to read and check the s14 report before it was submitted. At the hearing, the magistrate did not raise any concerns and decided that s14 was appropriate given my circumstances.

I am impressed with how efficiently my matter was handled and would not hesitate to recommend Jaime.

After contacting several firms in Sydney, James & Jaramillo Lawyers stood out the most. Working with Jonathan was a smooth and well-guided experience regarding my traffic offence case. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's crucial to choose a firm where you feel genuinely comfortable to navigate such a stressful time in your life.

Jonathan did not fall short in providing reassurance and comfort throughout the entire process. We were thoroughly prepared before my hearing, and we achieved an outcome very close to our goal.

For anyone seeking a passionate and dedicated team, you're in the right place!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle child custody disputes?

Our experienced family lawyers specialise in managing complex child custody matters. We understand that securing your child’s safety and well-being is of utmost importance. Our team works diligently through the legal process to protect your rights while ensuring decisions are made in the best interests of your children. Whether dealing with straightforward arrangements or complex child custody matters, we focus on achieving positive outcomes that support your family’s future.

What factors influence child custody decisions?

The family law court considers various factors when determining custody arrangements. Key considerations include the child’s education, development needs, and maintaining meaningful relationships with family members. Our family law team helps you understand these factors and build a strong case that highlights your ability to provide adequate financial support and a stable environment for your children. We’re particularly experienced in handling cases involving physical or psychological harm concerns.

How can I modify existing custody arrangements?

If you need to modify existing arrangements due to changing circumstances, our family lawyers Sydney can guide you through the process. Whether dealing with child support assessment updates or seeking major changes to custody orders, we provide tailored solutions based on your particular circumstances. Our focus is always on achieving resolutions that protect your children’s interests while minimising conflict between the parties involved.

What specialised support can your family lawyers provide?

As Sydney’s leading family lawyers and one of the top family law firms, we offer comprehensive family law services for every type of child custody case. Our best family lawyers have extensive experience handling custody matters arising from de facto relationships and same-sex marriage situations. Our divorce lawyers work in a cost-effective manner, implementing proven legal strategies to navigate the legal system successfully. We understand that each case is unique and requires personalized attention to achieve the best possible outcomes.

What are your legal fees and payment options?

As specialist family lawyers, we understand that legal fees are a significant consideration. Our family lawyer cost structure is transparent and varies depending on the complexity of your case – whether it involves property settlement, a family law dispute, or other legal issues. As a respected family and divorce law firm, we offer various payment options to help you access quality legal services. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate based on your specific situation and discuss flexible payment arrangements that can help manage the financial aspects of your case effectively.

What support do you provide throughout custody proceedings?

Our law firm in Sydney offers complete support through your custody journey. As one of the most respected family law firms, we handle everything from legal proceedings to liaising with the child support agency. We understand Australian family law thoroughly and provide guidance on all related family law issues, including spouse maintenance and custody arrangements in cases involving domestic violence. Our expertise as a leading family law firm means we can manage even the most complex family law matters while keeping your children’s interests at the forefront.

What rights do I have in relation to my child?

Under the Family Law Act 1975, parents have shared parental responsibility for their children unless the court orders otherwise. This does not mean children have to spend an equal amount of time with either parent. However, the court will consider this. The primary consideration is always what is in the best interest of the child. In some cases, this means equal time, or substantial time, or some other amount of time.

Do I need a lawyer?

Parenting issues are often far more complicated than they first appear, especially when there is disagreement. Sydney Family lawyers are highly skilled at assessing parenting issues, providing advice and working out strategies that best suit you and your children. We highly recommend that you use a lawyer for any parenting issue but especially if:

– You wish to seek parenting orders so that your parenting plan is legally enforceable.
– You and your former partner are unable to reach an agreement about the care arrangements for your children.

Whether you require experienced property settlement lawyers Sydney, or child custody lawyers, our team can help you navigate this difficult time.
