About Our Firm

John gained his Arts/Law degree at the Australian National University in 1983 and rather than join a large legal firm, opted to gain broader experience with a country law firm in the Hunter Valley.

The legal & personal mentoring received in the country has been a benchmark for the manner in which he deals with clients and legal matters. While remaining objective, his caring, personal and practical approach and his broad experience can help you to identify your priorities and concerns, solve your legal challenges and set up your estate according to your wishes.

John earned his Bachelor of Laws & Arts at the Australian National University.  His first position was with a small law firm in the Hunter Valley NSW, and in the following 10 years he broadened his experience by working with the international law firm that is now King & Wood Mallesons.  After starting a family, he went into sole practice.

Now in Heathmont, he specialises in Estate Planning (Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney), Probate, Business Law and associated property matters.

As a sole practitioner, John will deal with your substantive legal issues, and will not delegate to a junior lawyer or paralegal.
