Testimonial

I got so much more than what I expected.

It was a very difficult divorce, and before I consulted Canaan Lawyers, my ex-husband offered me $10,000 to walk away. He used all kinds of tactics to pressure me into accepting the offer. From the first day I hired Canaan, I knew I was in good hands. They listened to the outcomes I hoped for, developed a strategy, and explained the necessary steps to achieve positive results. They provided me with weekly updates on the progress, and in the end, my lawyer successfully obtained an IVO against my ex-husband on my behalf, and I received 56% of the asset pool. This was all achieved without going to court and was completed within three months. I couldn’t be happier.

Canaan Lawyers helped me to get out of my divorce much quicker than I expected.

My top priority was to quickly achieve a clean break with my ex-spouse. The situation had been dragging on for more than two years, and all I wanted was a fair share of the assets and time with my kids. I had no intention of prolonging the fight or spending another year in court. Within four months of engaging Canaan, my divorce was granted, and both parties signed the documents for property settlement and child arrangements. My ex-spouse was the most difficult person I know, so I expected a much longer battle. Best of all, I didn’t have to spend thousands in court

They helped me to return loan money to my parents before we split assets.

My parents lent me money to purchase my house, but my ex-spouse insisted that it was a gift to both of us. This money was hard-earned by my parents, and it was my responsibility to return it to them as they were about to retire. I was willing to split the assets 50:50 with her after the loan was repaid to my parents. She lied to her lawyers, but in the end, Canaan Lawyers used their strategy to ensure my parents’ loan was repaid in full with interest. They were very thorough in handling my case and were able to prove that my contributions were significantly greater than hers. We ultimately settled, and I received 62% of the asset pool. My parents and I are very happy with the outcome.

No surprise with fees. I trust them.

I wouldn’t say their fees were cheap, but they were very reasonable given the high standard of service I received from Canaan Lawyers. I needed someone competent to handle my divorce and finalise it quickly. I didn’t want to hire a local lawyer who charges very little, only to end up losing too many assets to my ex-spouse, who was with me for only 1.5 years. Their strategy was practical, and they explained everything to me without legal jargon. I understood their advice and was able to make informed decisions. Canaan Lawyers always fixed their fees and never charged me more than what they quoted. They are knowledgeable and experienced in divorce matters, making the whole process less stressful. I am happy with the result they achieved for me within 3-4 months.

They are as good as their reputation.

The name Canaan Lawyers is quite well-known within the Chinese community, but the reason I chose them initially was that my best friend hired them for her divorce three years ago. I have been in Australia since high school and can communicate well in English. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about hiring Chinese lawyers and was inclined to choose a Western lawyer. After speaking with a few Western law firms, I ended up hiring Canaan Lawyers, and I do not regret this decision. Just as my best friend told me, Canaan Lawyers are professional and genuinely listen to what I want and need. I never felt pressured to accept their advice, and if I didn’t understand something, they would patiently explain it until we were on the same page. I’m glad the whole divorce process is over after just a few months, allowing me to move on with my life. I would definitely recommend them to my friends in the future if they ever need a lawyer.

I would not have much if I did not hire them.

If you’re about to get a divorce, don’t rely solely on advice from friends and family about the law. There are many myths, and they aren’t professionally trained to handle such situations. I faced family violence during my marriage and was kicked out of our house (which was in my ex-spouse’s name) after separation. Friends advised against hiring a lawyer early due to costs, suggesting I negotiate directly with my ex-husband. Thankfully, I sought help from Canaan Lawyers immediately after the separation.

Canaan Lawyers quickly identified the risk of my ex-husband leaving Australia with our 3-year-old son. They took immediate action, securing an airport watch for my son and placing a caveat on the property. It turned out my ex planned to sell the house and return to China with our son by Chinese New Year. If I hadn’t consulted Canaan, I might not be with my son today or have a place to stay.
