The Good Side Of The Law – Family Lawyer Sally Nicholes

Health, News & Politics, Society & Culture

Being the son of one, my view of Lawyers and the legal profession in general, tends to be a little clouded by personal experience.  But there are some lawyers who motivated by their ability to make an extraordinary difference in the lives of their clients.

Often the most difficult of cases are done pro bono – the motivation not financial but driven by the possibility of delivering social change.  The social change that can only be shaped by altering the laws of the land.

Sally Nicholes is one such lawyer.  With over 17 years of extensive family law experience, Sally has a particular interest in issues concerning the LGBTI community.

From same sex surrogacy and IVF issues to children struggling with their gender identity, Sally’s service to her clients and our community is breaking down the framework that stands in the way of society’s full understanding and acceptance.
