I’m Mona, Principal and founder of Emera Family Law. I have practised exclusively in family law since I was admitted to practice in 2006.

From day one I have been motivated by the opportunity to use my knowledge to help people through some of the most challenging periods of their life. I provide practical, honest and realistic advice with a focus on cost effective settlements. 

My expertise spans all areas of family law including:

• divorce;
• parenting matters
• financial settlements
• financial agreements
• intervention and restraining orders; and
• LGBTIQA+ family law matters.

Understanding that most people prefer to settle their matters out of court, I am skilled at supporting my clients to achieve excellent out of court settlements. If court becomes necessary, I draw upon my years of diverse experience to help navigate my clients through the process to achieve the best result.

I am always happy to travel between our Melbourne and Sunshine locations to make things easier for my clients.

I am a former Executive Committee member of the Western Suburbs Lawyers Association and I am passionate about the advancement of legal services and supporting lawyers who work in the West. 

Outside of work, I enjoy weekend escapes, binge watching a Netflix series and catching up with friends and family over a meal.
