What is an Accredited Specialist?

Accredited specialists are deemed by the Queensland Law Society (the governing body of Solicitors in Queensland) to have extensive experience in the relevant area of law, and have successfully completed an advanced, peer reviewed assessment program specific to their area of expertise.

 

This assessment process is challenging, but holds multiple personal and professional benefits. Only those practitioners who have successfully completed this assessment can distinguish themselves from their peers by referring to themselves as accredited specialists.

What Are Your Legal Fees After the Initial Consultation?

We are proud of our competitive charges for the quality of services we provide and unlike many other firms we disclose the detail of our fee charges up front.

Tony Black

We wish to announce that our Special Counsel, Tony Black, has retired from practice after a long standing career as a solicitor spanning 50 years.

Tony was the Principal of Anthony Black Family Law from its inception in September 2006.

Simone Barbour became the legal owner of the practice in April 2019. Prior to taking over the business Simone was employed by Tony and they worked together for almost 19 years.

Tony was a well-respected solicitor, a wonderful boss and a brilliant mentor. While no longer wearing the ‘boss’ hat, he continued to mentor with a calm and wise presence in the office to all our staff up until January 2024.

The firm would like to thank Tony for all he has done to build the practice based off his integrity, decency, knowledge and hard work and for all he has done in regard to support and guidance.

Imparting his years of knowledge to us has been paramount and will be utilised for the benefit of our clients now and in the years to come.
