General practice, as I offer it, means having one solicitor who can guide you through the legal issues that genuinely matter in day‑to‑day life—without the overwhelm or the run‑around. I provide practical, accessible support across a broad range of areas, including conveyancing, property matters, contracts, disputes, consumer issues, and general advisory work.
Wills, probate, and estate matters sit at the heart of planning for the future and protecting the people you care about. Having a lawyer guide you through the process ensures your documents are properly drafted, your wishes are legally enforceable, and your loved ones are protected from unnecessary stress or conflict.
Immigration law governs who can enter Australia, how long they can stay, what they are permitted to do while they are here, and the pathways available to remain permanently.
Because immigration law changes frequently and operates under strict technical requirements, even small mistakes can lead to delays, refusals, or the loss of lawful status. Many applications require detailed evidence, precise timing, and a clear understanding of how the legislation, policy and case law interact. Getting legal advice ensures you understand your options, choose the correct visa pathway, prepare a strong and complete application, and avoid risks.
