The Precise and Empathetic Barrister

I booked Stephanie through Barrister Connect and couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. Not only are Stephanie and her team very professional but she cares about getting the absolute best outcome for the case. In my Financial Remedy hearing, Stephanie was clear and precise on the options, and delivered my instructions to the letter. Knowing she had dealt with my type of case recently, only served to reassure me further and her performance on both days was impeccable. There were many twists and procedural turns in my case, which were explained clearly and with empathy to my situation. This was important to me as previously this was overlooked and turned out to be a big part of the case. Massive thanks to Stephanie and her team for a brilliant result.

Great experience

Stephanie Heijdra represented me at two family court hearings, including one at very short notice, yet handled everything flawlessly and secured a positive outcome on both times. She is very knowledgeable and incredibly confident in her advocacy. I felt fully supported and in capable hands throughout the process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was looking for a barrister experienced in post-separation abuse, and Stephanie Heijdra was recommended to me. From the outset, she was to the point, honest, and very clear about the realities of my case.

Stephanie represented me twice this year. At the first hearing, we were unexpectedly left with only a legal adviser present — no magistrates or judge. Despite initial refusals from the court, and in the face of a rude and unprofessional opposing barrister, Stephanie calmly and firmly negotiated with the court and successfully secured a proper hearing before a judge.

At the second hearing, Stephanie achieved everything I was seeking — which, in truth, wasn’t much other than peace, stability, and respite from ongoing post-separation abuse. Her approach was focused, factual, and strategic. She didn’t need theatrics; she allowed the other party the space to expose his own behaviour and character, which she saw through immediately.

I felt listened to, protected, and professionally represented throughout. I would not hesitate to instruct Stephanie again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone navigating complex family court matters, particularly where control or abuse is involved.

I cannot recommend Stephanie Heijdra highly enough! From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and a genuine care for my case. She took the time to explain every step of the process in an easily understandable way, ensuring that I felt confident and informed throughout.

I had Stephanies support during my family law hearing. She gave me some expectations of what I should expect because it was a directions hearing.
However, Stephanie put a lot of points across and secured me normal contact with my daughter over the summer, and not just in a contact centre. Another hearing looming. I will definitely ask her for help again.

Stephanie Heijdra was amazing on my case against my ex wife. She knew all the fine details to help me with my situation, and always had a smile that help me be a little less stressed! Hopefully I will never need to go through court again! But if I do I will definitely be asking for her help again!

A blessing.

A blessing.

Stephanie looked after us through an Appeal and right through to the end and finishing off successfully what we wanted at the final hearing.

This was the most stressful time of my life and unlike most people who go to court because of a partner I was taken to court my my own mother. Nothing is wrong with myself and husband and we are both together unified fighting against someone who wants control and so what she likes with our child. It is a blessing we found Stephanie.

Outcome in 30 minutes… Amazing barrister

Stephanie provided representation for me during a dispute with my ex about child relocation. Although she was brought in late during the case, she managed to get me the outcome I wanted within 30 minutes (much better than I envisioned the hearing would go). She was calm, articulate and really knew all the relevant law on child relocation. I am extremely grateful to her for the successful outcome of my hearing and would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking an exceptional barrister. Thank you Stephanie.

Your go to child arrangement barrister

Stephanie has been amazing throughout my child arrangement case that involved international dispute. Stephanie takes her time to understand all factors affecting the case and is very empathetic and clever on how to best position your stance and articulate your needs. Going through the unpleasant experience of standing before a judge to discuss matters related to my son was made smooth and easy by Stephanie, thank you so much!

Exceptional Representation by Stephany

Stephany's approach was refreshingly unorthodox, diverging from what I initially anticipated. However, this strategy proved to be highly effective. She demonstrated unwavering commitment to my case, ensuring that every avenue was explored to achieve the best possible outcome.

Her adept handling of the jury showcased her persuasive communication skills and deep understanding of the legal intricacies involved. Additionally, her proficiency in orchestrating negotiations, particularly concerning scheduling matters, was commendable.

Stephany's dedication, strategic acumen, and professionalism were evident throughout the proceedings. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a barrister who combines innovative thinking with effective advocacy.

A Barrister Who Brings Calm to Chaos

We couldn’t have asked for a better barrister than Stephanie during one of the most emotionally exhausting and legally complex times of our lives.

Her work ethic is unmatched, there were nights we were speaking with her at 10:30pm because she was still working tirelessly on our case. Stephanie’s energy is unwavering. In the middle of crisis, she brought clarity and calm to the madness that is the family court system.

She fought hard for us in court, with strength, compassion, and integrity. Even when faced with blatant discrimination, Stephanie held her ground with professionalism and dignity - more than we can say for others in that courtroom. Her calm, assertive presence instantly puts you at ease. Her knowledge is second to none, and her passion for justice shines through in everything she does.

What stood out most was her ability to remain true to herself, to us, and to show emotion, when those passing judgment seemed to lack any.

Stephanie, thank you. For your time, your fight, and your heart.

Family Court

Ms. Stephanie Heijdra provided representation for me in a complex child custody hearing. My case presented numerous challenges, which Stephanie adeptly navigated, effectively advocating on my behalf. Her extensive knowledge of the relevant legal principles was evident, and I was particularly impressed by her ability to address issues with expediency and precision. I am highly satisfied with the outcome of the hearing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a just and equitable resolution to their legal matters.

Stephanie Heijdra Family Court

Stephanie Heijdra represented me in my final hearing at family court. She was bought on very late and even though the case seemed simple there was a lot of court room antics to manoeuvre which she did with ease. Initially Stephanie tried to reach agreements but quickly realised it was futile and went ahead to fight for everything in court. She didn’t miss a beat and easily displayed the character on the opposing bench and I ended up with a very happy outcome. Much better than I ever envisaged. She was calm (even when I was not!) and knew the law inside and out. She wasn’t flustered or intimidated by the team of legals she was up against and I would definitely use her again if I need to!
