Jacqui Griffin, Solicitor, LLB (University of NSW), MA (University of NSW), BEd (Flinders University)

Jacqui has been working as a lawyer for 25 years. She was admitted to practice in 1999 in NSW and initially worked in a suburban firm in Toongabbie, Sydney for a few years before she opened her own legal practice. Prior to being a lawyer, Jacqui was a high school teacher for about 17 years teaching in Darwin, her hometown and in Sydney in science, maths and physical education.

Jacqui did a bit of everything when she worked in a small suburban firm but her focus since operating her own legal practice has been in family law, care and protection law (Children’s Court) and domestic violence orders (ADVO’s). She also undertakes some criminal law work and estates work like wills and probates.

Jacqui is on a number of NSWS legal aid panels, family law, domestic violence, care and protection and does s102NA (cross examination scheme) matters. She also does some legal aid work in the Northern Territory.

Jacqui’s focus the last few years has been assisting self represented litigants in family law by offering them unbundled legal services (some legal work is done by the lawyer by agreement with the client) and now she has commenced offering some fixed fee family law packages to make family law more affordable to working people.

Jacqui sees client in person in Sydney or Darwin or other places by appointment. She loves to travel so is available to appear in person at Registries for the Federal Court and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) around Australia.
