Daphne is the Co-Chair of the Family Law Committee of the Law Society of South Australia and has been ranked in Doyles Guide as a “Family Law Rising Star” in South Australia for five consecutive years.

She is highly approachable and motivated to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.

She has worked closely with our senior solicitors and predominantly with one of our family law principals, Jill Miller. As a result she has gained considerable experience in all aspects of family law and more particularly complex property settlements and children’s matters.
