Amy Sanders-Robbins
Director & Family Law Accredited Specialist
Amy graduated from Griffith University with a degree in both Law and Psychology. Her expertise in both of these areas has shaped Bespoke Family Lawyers into the firm it is today.
Over the past 15 years (and counting), Amy has drawn on her background in both psychology and law to expertly untangle complex parenting and financial arrangements (like family businesses, trusts and companies) and create personalised legal solutions that meet her clients’ needs and goals.
Bespoke Family Lawyers is the natural result of Amy’s passion to help others recover from separation and divorce, and move forward to live their best lives.
Meet Amy
Hi there, I’m Amy!
When I became a mother, I had an AHA moment and realised I could be a better family lawyer by expanding my focus beyond the legal stuff. After all there are so many facets of life to be figured out when you’re going through separation.
This realisation drove me to leave a comfortable role and found Bespoke Family Lawyers, so I could make this holistic approach a priority in how I practice family law. I haven’t looked back since.
Even though I help people through some of their most challenging times, there’s something special about seeing someone bravely pick themselves up and use the opportunity to transform their life. To become the master of their destiny again. I love witnessing and being a part of this transformation!
This is what I want for everyone who works with Bespoke Family Lawyers.
I’ve helped more than 1000 people navigate their separation and divorce. Many of them have been business people and high net-worth individuals, but they’ve also been husbands and wives, parents and grandparents.
That’s why I work hard to understand their pain, stresses, and goals. This superpower helps me look more deeply into the solutions I’m creating to understand what has led people to where they are right now, what needs to be addressed to make their future path smoother, and how can I support them in moving forward to live their best life.
When I’m not using these superpowers at Bespoke Family Lawyers, you’ll find me hanging out with my family, painting, journalling, meditating (if I can turn my mind off), or enjoying a stroll along the beach or in the bush. Time in nature takes me back to my country roots and re-energises me.

Meet Tanisha
Hi, I’m Tanisha!
I’m currently completing my paralegal services diploma. As a child of divorce, I intimately understand the emotional toll that family law matters can take. This firsthand knowledge fuels my passion for providing meaningful support to our clients beyond the mere legal aspects.
The most rewarding part of my role is witnessing the positive transformations that our clients undergo as they navigate their separation. My role as a paralegal allows me to contribute to this process by ensuring that Bespoke Family Lawyers delivers organised and seamless assistance to our valued clients.
When I’m not getting stuck into my studies or assisting our wonderful clients, I enjoy staying active at the gym, getting lost in the pages of a good book, or exploring new restaurants with my partner and friends.

Meet Amanda
Hi, I’m Amanda!
I absolutely love how rewarding our work is. It is sometimes really hard to see our clients trying to navigate a complicated issue with their Ex, but it’s very satisfying being able to (even in a small way) help them get back on track.
Every family situation is unique – there is definitely no “one size fits all” approach to family law. This makes our job interesting and challenging.
In my spare time, I love to take my camper trailer out with my family, relax with some craft, or tend to my garden.
