Complex estate litigation
“We worked with Cheryl Drought over a four-year period through complex estate litigation proceedings and throughout it we were consistently impressed by her expertise. She was always professional and achieved an outstanding result for us. Cheryl is an ethical, honest, and knowledgeable lawyer with the additional benefit of 25 years plus accounting expertise. She genuinely cares about her clients and that made a significant difference to our experience. The bottom line is if you want a hard-working, knowledgeable, empathetic, and supportive lawyer then look no further than Cheryl Drought. We are extremely grateful to her and cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Complex parenting matter
“As a lawyer, going through your own traumatic legal battle is even more difficult, as you know what can go wrong. That’s why I chose Cheryl. She gives me 200% and is unrelenting in her pursuit of what is ‘right’. She is an incredible mind – so smart, detailed, and articulate. I was never in any doubt I was in safe hands and I felt nurtured through an anxious time.”
