Our Story
CK Family Lawyers was built on a simple idea: people deserve family lawyers who genuinely care.
Before starting the firm, Christopher Jones spent years working in environments where clients were often passed around, overwhelmed by legal jargon, or left feeling like just another case in a system. He knew families deserved something better, a space where they felt supported, prioritised, and truly understood.
Together with Krystina Jones, whose warm and personal approach has become a hallmark of the firm, they set out to create a practice where compassion and clarity sit at the heart of the client experience.
Over the years, our firm has grown, but our philosophy hasn’t changed.
You’re never just a file. You’re a person working through one of life’s hardest transitions, and you deserve support that feels human.
That’s why clients continue to trust us with matters involving divorce, child custody, property settlements, domestic violence, mediation, and life planning beyond separation. We don’t just guide people through legal processes; we help them find a clear, steady path forward.
Our Mission & Philosophy
Our mission is to make family law clearer, kinder, and more empowering.
We understand that separation, parenting disputes, and financial negotiations can feel overwhelming. So we’ve shaped our approach around three key commitments:
1. To give you clarity, every step of the way
We explain your options, rights, and likely outcomes in plain English. No jargon. No confusion. Just practical guidance you can trust.
2. To resolve matters sooner, not later
Whenever possible, we aim for early resolution through negotiation and mediation. This approach saves time, reduces stress, and keeps costs manageable, while still protecting what matters most to you.
3. To be the legal team you can always reach
We respond within 24 hours, offer after-hours and weekend appointments, and make sure you always understand what’s happening in your matter. You’ll work directly with Chris and Krystina ensuring you feel supported throughout the entire process.
Our Values
Compassion
