My ability to navigate the court processes with poise and confidence puts me in a strategic position to pursue and achieve my client’s desired outcomes.

Ruby Kelly

Solicitor

I have had the privilege of being a member of the team at Feeney Family Law for some time. Starting my career as a legal assistant and progressing to the roles of paralegal and law graduate allowed me to advance my skills in family law, and gain a thorough understanding and appreciation of the foundational values of our firm.

I was admitted as a legal practitioner in June 2023. I was fortunate to have enjoyed some time in Europe for several months prior to settling back into my old office and starting my work as a solicitor in October 2023.

Every aspect of my work is client centered. This is your journey. We are here to help you navigate this next chapter of your life.

I assist Kay in the effective handling of your matter, and focus on achieving a cost-effective, prompt and just resolution for my clients. I understand the need for a compassionate approach to your matter, and will support your interests wholeheartedly throughout the process, wherever that may take you.
