But what most impressed me, was that he put my daughters interests front and centre (as it should be). I have no hesitation in recommending Amer Husakovic of Eliver Family Law.

I cannot recommend Amer and his team enough! I have engaged Amer for the last 3.5 years and have willingly followed him from one of Australias largest family law firms and others to ultimately his own firm. Throughout those 3.5 years we were faced with countless hurdles and together we endured and ascended. His depth of knowledge and ability to recount pertinent cases is incredibly impressive.

Amer was superb from the minute I first spoke to him. Highly knowledgeable, very relatable and a calming influence in a very stressful time.

I would recommend elliver family law to anyone and everyone and it is the only firm I would use in the future. Amer is not only a top tier lawyer but a great bloke.
