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.

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.

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.

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

Do you offer litigation funding?

Yes, we do. We are an Accredited Firm with JustFund and have partnered with them to give those with limited liquidity, those who are ineligible for Legal Aid, or anyone else who cannot fund their Family Law litigation at first instance, an opportunity to access our legal services. Our team can assist you with taking the steps to determine your eligibility for litigation funding with JustFund. As one of Sydney’s leading specialist family law firms, we understand the financial challenges our clients face and work to provide accessible solutions.

Do I always need a family lawyer for court proceedings?

While family lawyers are instrumental in court-related matters, particularly in venues like the Federal Circuit Court and the Family Court of Australia, their expertise extends beyond litigation. They offer counselling, mediation, and other non-litigious services to help resolve many family disputes outside the courtroom. In the Australian legal system, especially in cases processed by the Federal Circuit Court and the Family Court, skilled legal assistance can significantly aid in navigating both courtroom proceedings and alternative dispute resolution methods. Our extensive family law experience includes representing clients in the Supreme Court and handling collaborative divorce alternatives.

Are your family law services available 24/7?

Our office operates from 8 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week. Outside these hours, we are still reachable 24/7 by phone at (02) 8378 8585. You can also contact Jonathan or Tom on Wickr at bettercalljohn or tjslawyer. Our law firm is committed to being available when you need us.

How can I calculate potential child support payments?

Though online tools might provide a general idea, accurate calculations require a case-by-case analysis. Our seasoned lawyers will guide you through the entire process. As expert family law practitioners, we ensure all financial aspects are thoroughly considered, including property matters and support obligations.

How much time is needed to conclude my family law case?

The duration depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, cooperation between parties involved, and timely submission of required information. An approximate timeline will be given at the initial consultation.

What should I prepare for my first consultation?

Please bring any documents pertinent to your case, such as divorce papers or child custody agreements. If you require more guidance, please inquire before your appointment, and ensure you have something for note-taking. The typical family lawyer cost after the initial consultation is discussed upfront, ensuring transparency.

Can you explain consent orders and how and why might I need one?

Consent orders are legally binding family law agreements commonly used to formalise arrangements for property division or child custody. They help maintain harmony among parties by establishing clear agreements. Our team at JJ Lawyers can assist you in navigating and securing consent orders tailored to your needs. Further details on Consent Orders are available on our website.

What are the alternatives to attending Court for my family issue?

Family court proceedings are only sometimes necessary. Options like mediation, Family Dispute Resolution, or negotiations between parties and lawyers are often effective. We will assess all possible non-litigious solutions.

What paperwork is necessary to file for a divorce?

Essential documents include your marriage certificate, relevant citizenship proofs, and a valid ID. Our divorce law firm will assist you with the necessary documentation and procedures.

What are the usual costs for employing a family lawyer in Sydney?

We strive to provide legal services that everyone can access. Costs may differ depending on your unique situation. Still, we can offer a precise estimate during your no-obligation initial consultation.

Can I represent myself, or should I hire a family lawyer?

Although self-representation is an option, professional legal guidance can offer valuable insights and strategies specific to your situation.

How do I find the most suitable family lawyer?

Choosing a family lawyer who aligns with your needs is essential. Evaluate their experience, communication skills, empathy, and track record in family law. A complimentary initial meeting can assist you in determining compatibility.
