The best family lawyer in this area. I had two consultations with Sophie this year, and she has been super helpful and understanding about my situation. She created a very caring and supportive environment to help clients, and I really appreciated that.

I have known Sophie for about 10 years, and she and her team have helped me a lot. Sophie is not only a lawyer, and she is more like very close friend most of time for me. She felt what I felt, understood what I wanted and always be reliable. Her team is also great. The communication with the team is quite smooth and efficient.

Sophie is incredibly knowledgeable and was awesome in offering me realistic and practical advice for my situation. Kane has been such a delight to work with, he is thoughtful and dedicated to achieve the best outcome for me. He also has just the right amount of humour and lightheartedness that makes this difficult process a bit more pleasant. Highly recommend!

I have referred my clients to Sophie Song's Office for professional legal assistance on family issues. The feedback I received were also excellent. Their comments were always that Sophie provided more than the normal legal advice but she has been caring and understanding of their problems. I shall continue to refer clients to her.Boniface Town JP

Kane Haddock has always been highly professional in his approach and very prompt with his responses. He always provides honest feedback and has clearly set expectations around any outcome, of which he has been correct on every occasion. This has relieved anxiety in what has been a tumultuous legal battle.Kane is not only professional, but personable and very easy to 'open up' to about sensitive topics. I could not recommend Kane Haddock or Sophie Song any higher.
Trent Wilson

Kane Haddock is exceptional.I have watched a close relative go through what has been an awful legal battle for several years now. Kane (and Sophie) have been there every step of the way.They are both so approachable, you never feel judged and they provide practical advice, not legal jargon that you get elsewhere. I say elsewhere as previous lawyers used have not been up to Kane's standard. Better yet, his sense of humour and demeanor/email tone make you feel like you're talking to an actual human who has empathy, always making you feel heard and supported.After watching the support my family member has received, I would recommend Kane to anyone. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Sophie helped me over several years with a very important family law matter. I needed a lawyer who could effectively protect my family's interests. I was immediately impressed by Sophie's knowledge of family law and how quickly she responded to both straightforward and complex queries. The legal documentation and correspondence Sophie's office prepared was always of a high-standard.I appreciated Sophie's direct, to-the-point, method of communication. Sophie and her team (Jun, and later Simran) would advise me, very frankly, on what my options were at each stage. I greatly valued their candour as they guided me through a difficult time. While candid, Sophie & her team were also empathic, and I feel grateful that I found someone who treated my case with such a high degree of care and attention.Sophie and her team became trusted and valued advisors. I would commend Sophie on her HR skills; she always had a very competent, and compassionate, team of people working for her. My family's circumstances have changed a lot since the first time I met with Sophie, and I'm extremely grateful for all the work the Rayner Song team completed for me over the years. Sophie remains a trusted advisor. Thank you, Sophie.
