Testimonial

I cannot recommend Schetzer Papaleo Family Lawyers enough! I have been so lucky having Kerry Ktenas as my lawyer. She has been incredibly supportive, kind and professional throughout a stressful separation and has kept me sane during difficult times. Thank you for helping me gain freedom and happiness in my life again!
