Daniel Myers is a family lawyer who truly values the power of networking.
Personal recommendations matter
Daniel Myers is a family lawyer who understands just how important trust is when someone is going through a separation or divorce.
“Family law is, for most people, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The decisions they face can affect their financial security, their independence, and above all, their relationship with their children. In such a sensitive area, people rarely choose a lawyer from an internet search alone – they turn to friends, family, or other professionals for recommendations. That’s why I place so much value on building trusted connections.”
Part of the Fresh community
Daniel has been a member of Fresh since 2017. “I had just joined a new law firm and was looking for a community of professionals who shared my values. A colleague introduced me to Fresh, and I joined the St Kilda hub. I’ve been there ever since.”
A steady stream of clients needing support
“Over the years, Fresh has connected me with a healthy number of referrals of all shapes and sizes – from someone needing a few hours of advice, to clients involved in more complex Family Court proceedings. For me, the value isn’t just in the variety of work, but in knowing that people are being referred at the moment they most need guidance. It has allowed me to help many individuals who might otherwise have struggled to find the right support.”
Support for clients
Through Fresh, Daniel has been able to provide additional layers of support for his clients.
“Family law matters often overlap with other areas of life. Clients may need a conveyancer, a wills solicitor, a mortgage broker, a buyer’s advocate, an accountant, or even counselling support. Having access to a trusted network of professionals means I can point my clients in the right direction. It takes some of the stress out of an already overwhelming time.”
Within his hub, Daniel has regularly connected clients with conveyancing and estate planning support, among others. “It gives clients peace of mind knowing they are dealing with people I trust.”
Trusted expertise for his own practice
Daniel has also found Fresh to be a reliable source of expertise for his own professional needs. “When I became an equity partner in my firm, I engaged a Fresh colleague as my commercial lawyer, and I later moved my accounting to another Fresh member. Having a network of skilled professionals I can rely on makes my work more effective.”
Connections that count
Beyond professional support, Fresh has also been a source of genuine friendships. “The best professional relationships often grow into personal ones. I look forward to our meetings – they’re not just about work; they’re about connecting with people whose company I value. Fresh gives me a chance to step outside the family law bubble and enjoy a different perspective.”
