About us
More than legal advice. People in your corner.
Family Law, Estate Planning and Deceased Estate Lawyers helping individuals and families move forward with confidence.

Welcome to ALA Law.
We know that people often come to us during some of life’s most challenging moments. Whether you’re navigating separation, planning for the future or dealing with the loss of a loved one, we’re here to help. At ALA Law, we believe legal advice starts with understanding people. We take the time to listen, understand your circumstances and provide practical guidance tailored to your needs.
Led by Partners Amanda Little, Rosemary Aloisio, Bernadette Melhem and Jacinta Watkins, our team combines extensive legal experience with genuine care and support. We focus on real conversations, practical solutions and helping our clients move forward with confidence.
Proudly based in Penrith, we are committed to serving the Western Sydney and Hawkesbury communities.
Because when it matters most, you deserve more than an answer.
You deserve people in your corner.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: people deserve to be cared for, listened to and supported. That’s why we focus on delivering not only exceptional legal outcomes, but an experience that leaves our clients feeling understood, valued and confident about the future.
Our Promise to You
When you choose ALA Law, you can expect more than legal advice. You can expect a team that genuinely cares about your outcome and your experience along the way
We will take the time to understand you
No two people, families or situations are the same. We will listen to your story, understand what matters most to you and provide advice tailored to your circumstances
We will communicate openly and honestly
We will explain your options in plain English, answer your questions and keep you informed throughout your matter, so you always know where you stand.
We will seek practical solutions
Where possible, we will help you resolve issues through negotiation, mediation and settlement, reducing unnecessary conflict, stress and expense.
We will be transparent about costs
We understand that legal costs can be a concern. We will provide clear information about fees, discuss costs openly and work with you to achieve the best possible outcome in a cost-conscious way.
We will stand beside you when it matters most
If your matter cannot be resolved by agreement, you can trust that we will be strong, strategic advocates for your interests and fiercely protect what matters most to you.
We will treat you with respect, empathy and care
We know that many of our clients come to us during difficult chapters of life. We will support you with compassion, professionalism and a genuine commitment to helping you move forward with confidence.
