At Emera Family Law, we are guided by a clear purpose to help people move forward with optimism. We focus on achieving settlements rather than arguments, and aim to settle matters outside of court.
Our firm is built on four values that shape how we work with clients, colleagues and partners:
Founder Mona Emera has over 15 years’ experience and was formerly the head of family law at a national firm. She leads the experienced team with compassion and a practical approach to family law.
We’re proud to take the stigma out of notions of what it’s like to work with lawyers, offering expert guidance with warmth, down-to-earth communication, and a genuine commitment to outcomes.
“First and foremost, my job is about helping people through a difficult time. That is why my approach is always to lead with honesty and work hard towards a solution. My clients know without question I’m there to support them.”
Mona Emera, Principal and Founder
“Practising in this area of law provides a unique opportunity to do what I love while assisting my clients to achieve the best possible result.”
Jodie Jarvis, Lawyer
“My focus is on giving my clients clear advice in terms they can understand and providing quality legal services that are personalised for everyone I work with."
Mairead Melia, Senior Lawyer
“I always aim to provide an empathetic and caring approach, and I am committed to achieving the best possible outcome for all my clients. I promote cost-effective and negotiated outcomes where possible, and if required I am an experienced litigator”.
