Milos is a founding Director and the Managing Director of DS Family Law which he established in 2004 with Ross Dunlop.
He is an Accredited Family Law Specialist (as accredited by the Law Society of WA) and holds a Masters Degree in Applied Family Law. He was admitted to practise in 2001 and has substantial experience in litigating at all levels within the Family Law jurisdiction by virtue of his role as In-House Counsel within the Firm.
If your matter involves a complex Interim Argument or Trial, no-one in the Firm is better qualified to represent you than Milos. His resumé speaks for itself, and for the past 20 years, he has personally conducted Final Hearings and Appeals that most other Family Law Firms would brief out to an Independent Barrister.
Having Milos' input (and the benefit of his involvement) early in your matter provides you with a "checking mechanism" before you embark on what can be a lengthy and expensive journey through the Family Court.
As well as being an experienced litigator, Milos is also a long-standing accredited Arbitrator, Mediator, Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner and Collaborative Law Practitioner.
In 2014, Milos was the recipient of a coveted 40 under 40 award for his contribution to and achievements in the WA business community.
Rebecca has worked exclusively in family law since 1997, breaking for a time in 2004 to raise her three young children. She has enjoyed her return to family law since 2012.
Having children of her own assists in Rebecca's very real understanding of the emotional and practical needs of her clients. She prides herself on her people skills and ability to communicate well in advising and presenting various settlement options, and in engaging in effective and persuasive negotiations on her clients' behalf.
Ross spent his younger years in Glasgow, Scotland, before migrating to Australia in 1997. He holds both an Honours Degree in Law and a Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the University of Strathclyde.
He was admitted as a solicitor in Scotland in 1992 where he spent five years in practice, principally in the areas of criminal law, family law and domestic and commercial conveyancing.
After relocating to Western Australia, Ross has practised exclusively in Family Law. He established DS Family Law in 2004, with co-director Milos Supljeglav. Between 2010 and 2015, the bulk of Ross' caseload came from our Darwin office, which Ross still attends every few months.
