"They are the most honest and caring Law firm I have ever been fortunate to have dealings with and got the job done very professionally."



Francis Family Law was formed in 2018 when Sybilla Francis became sole principal, following the retirement of Lisa, at Lisa Stansfield Lawyers in December 2018. Sybilla is committed to continuing the ethics and values that Lisa created and upheld, whilst incorporating the flexibility needed to evolve with the ever-changing laws and times. We specialise in all areas of Family Law, and can assist with Wills and Powers of Attorney.

At Francis Family Law we understand that when people come to us with a family law matter, they’re often at one of the lowest and most confusing times of their life. We work with separating families to unravel the complex legal aspects of separation so that you can move forward with your life with dignity and ownership of the outcome. Our goal is to empower our clients with an understanding of their legal rights, obligations and entitlements while providing expert and timely legal advice.

Our lawyers understand the importance of establishing strong relationships with clients, whilst managing their expectations in what can be an unpredictable environment. Separation, divorce, property, and children matters can be complex, time consuming and emotionally draining. We devote our time to servicing our Cairns family law clients, guiding them through perhaps the most difficult time of their life with our knowledge, understanding and empathy. 

We understand that people are sometimes afraid to call a lawyer because they think the cost is unaffordable. We aim to deliver quality, personalised Family Law solutions and Wills, at an affordable cost. To assist in this regard, Francis Family Law offers initial consultations that won’t cost the earth and can provide you with the reassurance you deserve.
