Ally completed her Bachelor of Arts/Sociology degree at the University of Western Sydney in 2007. For a number of years, she worked with women, children and disadvantaged families as a caseworker and project leader with the St George Lebanese Joint Committee. She also undertook volunteer work at the Welfare Rights Centre.
In 2010, Ally graduated from the University of Notre Dame Australia with a Bachelor of Laws. She then worked for the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner, where she strengthened her understanding of the legal profession and the importance of ethical and moral conduct within it.
Ally was admitted to the Roll in 2014 and worked for a suburban law practice for a number of years; at which she managed complex parenting cases involving Parties who had experienced Domestic and Family violence.
Since her admission, Ally has practised exclusively in Family law. She completed her Masters in Family Law in 2020.
Ally takes a practical approach to assist clients in finalising their property and parenting disputes as smoothly and efficiently as possible. It is all about the people, and she is acutely aware that separation represents one of the most difficult periods in a person’s life. Her goal is to provide clarity and structure to clients to resolve their legal issues.
Ally is upfront and realistic about the prospects of a client’s case and encourages settlement where appropriate. Her range of experience has also taken her from the office to Court, and she is prepared to act assertively on behalf of a client should litigation be necessary.
Ally is also a member of the Relationships Australia Human Research Ethics Committee and is currently working with the Arab Council of Australia on the extremely successful ‘From the Ground Up to Equality’ Project, which is an early intervention level program designed to promote gender equality within the Arabic Speaking community.
