ABOUT US
The mission statement of Transitional Legal is to provide first-class legal representation to men and women undergoing complex, difficult, and traumatic family law, criminal, and domestic violence matters, and to navigate a legal pathway through to the transition to single and co-parenting —particularly in situations involving serious allegations and significant risk factors to children.
The focus of Transitional Legal is often on high conflict, complex and urgent family law matters, predominantly in the Magellan List, the Evatt List and on the Critical Incident List in Division 1 and Division 2 of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, including (but not limited to) urgent applications, recovery orders, and where are serious concerns with regarding parental alienation. We recognize that behind every case is a deeply personal story marked by fear, loss, and uncertainty—and we work to ensure that each client feels seen, heard, and supported.
The goal of Transitional Legal is to assist our clients in moving from crisis to stability with dignity by providing clear, grounded legal guidance during the most destabilizing periods of their lives. Through strategic advocacy and compassionate representation, we aim not only to resolve legal matters but to lay the foundation for a new chapter in their lives and the lives of their children.

The case is moving now, and I'm back in contact with my kids. I have consulted and used other lawyers over a long period, and Roger and the team at Transitional Legal are the best.

I was told my matter was complex and would cost more than $60000 by one firm and over $80000 by another firm. My friend told me to see Roger and he settled the entire matter by consent for less than $4000 in 8 weeks.

I was recommended Roger by a family member to help resolve a family dispute situation and he was AMAZING! He made the whole process stress free as well as financially appropriate. He handled everything professionally and was so understanding of the situation. He replies to any questions or concerns by either email or text message in a short timeframe so I never had to wait too long for him to get back to me! He was very caring and strived to do what was best for my child in the dispute and that is all I asked! I couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Roger for everything! Jesse Goodwin28 January 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended to Roger by a friend when I was frustrated with my current escalating situation from false DV allegations. I didn’t understand what and why this was happening to me and why the other person wasn’t held accountable for their actions. Roger took charge of the situation when I contacted him after months of being lost and defeated. He calmed it down, made me feel comfortable and got me in the right direction as I began to understand the minefield there is around family and DV law. I couldn’t ask for anything more from Roger. I feel he has brought my case to an equal playing field where my children and I are now being heard. He takes immediate action when situations arise and is always on top of everything. I wouldn’t have anyone else by my side going through this process and I would recommend Roger to anyone who feels stuck and needs legal representation.

WHO WE ARE
Roger Poed
Roger Poed is the Legal Practitioner-Director and Principal Solicitor of Transitional Legal.
With a Master of Laws from the College of Law and a Bachelor of Criminology, Roger brings both academic depth and real-world insight to complex family law and domestic violence matters. He is also an accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, enabling him to approach high-conflict cases with both legal precision and a strong focus on resolution. Roger leads the firm with a commitment to strategic advocacy, client care, and fearless representation in the courtroom.
Roger chose to establish a Practice as opposed to being employed in the realms of Family Law. He chose the name Transitional Legal because he understands that the law, for many, isn’t just about disputes—it’s about crossing a threshold. His clients aren’t simply solving legal problems; they’re navigating some of the most painful and transformative chapters of their lives. The word “transitional” reflects the firm’s core purpose: to guide people through complex, often traumatic legal terrain—from crisis and confrontation to resolution and renewal. It’s not just a name; it’s a recognition that behind every case is a life in motion, and that legal support should be as human as it is strategic
