About Us
At JH Legal, we are a family law firm of strong, compassionate professionals who put your interests at the heart of every decision. Our purpose is simple — to help you find the best outcomes and clear pathways to a new future.
With over 90% of our work dedicated to family law, we have the specialist focus and practical experience to guide you through separation, divorce, parenting arrangements, property settlements and mediation. We regularly appear in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia when needed, but we believe litigation is always the last resort. Our goal is to resolve matters with empathy, clarity and as little conflict as possible.
Clients choose us because we combine pragmatic advice with genuine care. We listen to make sure your voice is heard, we remain accessible when you need us most, and we maintain integrity at every stage. Unlike big city firms, we don’t charge city prices — instead, we provide affordable, high-quality legal support, right here in Camberwell, with easy access and local convenience.
We also understand the emotional weight that family law carries. That’s why we work with you not only on the legal issues, but also in recommending support services to safeguard your wellbeing. At JH Legal, you’ll find a team that is approachable, dependable, empathetic — and always on your side.
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.
