Fiona Smith

Hi, my name is Fiona or Fi and I am the face that you will see when you first walk through the door here at Brisbane Family Law Centre (BFLC).  I have only just recently joined the team and loving my new role.

I first met Clarissa and the team when I needed their help, something that after 36 years of marriage I did not think that I would ever need, separating from that person in your life who is not only your husband, but also your best friend was a great shock.

I did have discussions with other Family Lawyers but knew straight away that I wanted BFLC to act on my behalf.  I just felt comfortable, that I was being listened to and in very confident hands.  I have been taken care of exceptionally well by the team and now look where I am, part of the TEAM myself.  I am not a lawyer, but I have experience on the other side, and understand how upsetting, emotional and frustrating the separation/divorce process can be.

About me, I emigrated to Australia 21 years ago, I have 3 sons, all married, and I have 3 beautiful grandchildren with number 4 due later this year.   My family are my world and I love spending time with them.  For the previous 14 years I had been working as a Relocations Case Manager, so working for a law firm is all new, very interesting, lots to learn and I am excited about my future.

Q&A:

BFLC is all about – being compassionate, caring, and helping people from what can be a difficult time.

If I wasn’t working here – I would love to be travelling the world.

People describe me as:  kind, caring and always there to listen and help.

I would love to have dinner with Jamie from Outlander.

The worst misspelling of my name was Pheona.
