Andrea Woelke set up Alternative Family Law in 2005 because he felt that the way he as a family lawyer works with his clients and meets their needs differs greatly from the way lawyers work with clients in other areas of law. Family law touches very personal and intimate areas of people's lives and most clients prefer to have a personal relationship with their lawyer. In other areas large teams may deal with a case and work is streamlined into an efficient computerised case-management system, with day-to-day tasks often done by junior lawyers or non-legal staff. By contrast family law clients require an expert lawyer who is easily accessible by telephone and email and has overall day-to-day responsibility for their case.
