about Toomey family law

Toomey Family Law specialises in complex, high networth matters.

Established on the Sunshine Coast in 2021, the firm has grown yearly, thanks to Leisa Toomey’s stellar reputation and track record as a Queensland family lawyer.

Leading a team of highly empathetic and compassionate lawyers and legal supports, clients can be assured they will receive the pragmatic support they need to build a brighter happier future.

our vision

Toomey Family Law believes we can help change the impacts that divorce, separation and settlements have on individuals and families. We keep our clients front-of-mind and measure our actions through thorough case management protocols. We are accountable to our Firm’s Values and our actions and outcomes represent this.

our values

Toomey Family Law is focused on driving change from the front. We understand who our clients are and we put the needs, desires and wants they hold for their future, at the centre, at all times.

We don’t steamroll with an agenda or incite unnecessary fights. We guide clients to choose their battles, manage expectations and help remove the toxicity that can delay cases, and ultimately overwhelm all involved.

It doesn’t have to end in a fight.

We:

  • listen and empathise;

  • manage expectations in an informed and sensitive way;
  • deal with colleagues in a respectful and professional manner;

Charity & Community Partnerships

Extending our reach beyond individual clients

“Working in Family Law and previously working as an Independent Children’s lawyer for 15 years, I cannot help but see the importance of supporting children, who are often at the heart of every matter. For some families and children, their experience of life isn’t easy. Whether it’s their health, feeling unsafe in their home environments or poverty, Toomey Family Law wants to ensure that no child gets left behind. Supporting local charities like these is our way of supporting that mission, right across Australia.”

– Leisa Toomey.
