About Us

We are a family law firm of strong and compassionate professionals who put the interests of our clients at the heart of every decision we make. Our goal is to find the best outcomes for you and find pathways to a new future. We strive for success using our skills, training and understanding of the complex area of family law.

Our lawyers regularly conduct matters in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia on behalf of our clients, when needed. We view litigation as a last resort.

We are committed to the provision of high-quality service for all clients. We know how to listen to make sure your voice is heard. We make ourselves accessible to you and we maintain absolute integrity in all dealings at every stage, and more importantly, we work with you to obtain pragmatic solutions to problems as cost-effectively as possible.

We understand the challenges that the family law process can entail and can recommend support services to ensure we also support your well-being and emotional sensitivities.


Our History

The firm was first named Jones Hepworth Johns when we opened our doors in Mount Waverley in 2003, rebranding to JH Legal in 2007. JH Legal was founded on the principles of a firm solely focussed on servicing family law matters and the needs of family law clients, without being a separate, smaller practice area within a larger general services law firm. The firm moved offices to Camberwell in 2012 and has continued the singular focus on excelling in family law and helping our clients navigate the family law system.


Now it’s time to meet our family…
