How many family lawyers does Starworks rank in Australia?
Starworks ranks 404 family lawyers in Australia, holding 12,085 Google reviews between them. Across the 404 the median rating is 4.8 stars from a median of 15 reviews. Of the 404, 309 are rated 4.5 or better and 29 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 457 reviews, more than the top-ranked family lawyer holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.
How does Starworks rank family lawyers nationally?
To rank family lawyers across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star family lawyer with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 404 family lawyers in Australia is 4.8 stars from a median of 15 reviews.
Where can I find the best family lawyers in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for family lawyers in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my family lawyer business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the family lawyer category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of family lawyers in Australia lists the top 50 of 404 family lawyers; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
