With over a decade of experience in family law, Maria Stipic has dedicated her career to helping families navigate the challenges of separation and find amicable resolutions to their disputes. She is passionate about guiding her clients towards a positive future by providing empathetic support and resolving their family law matters as smoothly as possible.
Maria understands that seeking family law assistance is often accompanied by high-stress levels and emotional turmoil. She recognises the importance of providing comprehensive support to her clients during this challenging period and readily refers them to appropriate support services.
Maria approaches her role with compassion and professionalism, striving to achieve practical and enduring outcomes for her clients.
As a strong advocate for legally assisted mediation, Maria believes in the power of mediation to effectively resolve disputes. She brings a unique perspective to the mediation process. She has worked as a lawyer representing clients and as a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner for a prominent community-based organisation and Victoria Legal Aid.
In cases where negotiation and mediation are insufficient, Maria draws on her extensive experience in the courtroom to litigate and secure the best possible outcomes for her clients. She has appeared in court numerous times, including serving as a duty lawyer at the Dandenong registry of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Outside of her career in family law, Maria cherishes her roles as a mother to her two children, a supportive wife, and a caretaker to her beloved cat. When she’s not managing her children’s extra-curricular activities, she finds solace in her vegetable garden, immerses herself in captivating books, and challenges her mind with jigsaw puzzles (which always take longer than anticipated!).
Maria firmly believes in the transformative power of physical activity and recently accomplished her second half marathon.
