Rachel Stubbs

A client once shared with Rachel that the quality she sought in her lawyer was a “head kicker.” However, Rachael does not possess that attribute.

Instead, she dedicates an immense amount of effort to assisting individuals in navigating the arduous and dissatisfying process that is the Australian family law system. Moreover, she endeavours to approach this task with sensitivity and empathy.

In New South Wales, she established a business with three offices and a team of 29 employees, all focused on providing support to individuals grappling with the complexities of family law. There has always been, and continues to be, a significant demand for lawyers who can offer a kinder and more considerate approach to those facing difficult times.

Despite this, “head kicking” has never been part of her repertoire.

The reason for this is that the system itself is flawed. She could not commit herself to working within a system that, in her belief, fails more people than it actually aids.

After nearly two decades of working in the field of family law, she now strives to convince individuals to steer clear of the legal system altogether. There are those who perceive her as being unsupportive of their cause. They have been influenced by the dramatic courtroom showdowns portrayed in television shows, where there is a clear victor and loser.

However, there are others who recognize the arduous and distressing journey that awaits them if they decide to engage in a legal battle with attorneys in a courtroom. It is for this reason that they seek the services of Kate Austin Family Law.
