Hi there, I’m Adele

I’m a Brisbane Family Law Lawyer at Best Wilson Buckley

 

I have been working in family law for many years and have a genuine passion for helping people. It was important to me to work in an area of law that focuses on clients—their lives, their families, and their stories.

 

I enjoy assisting clients to navigate the legal system during what can often be a challenging and emotional time. Family law is constantly evolving, and I believe it’s essential that clients receive current and practical legal advice. I see my role as empowering clients with the information and knowledge they need to make the right decisions for their family.

 

Background

Whilst studying law in Armidale, NSW, I volunteered at a local community legal service and spent my university holidays working with a sole practitioner in Sydney.

 

After completing my law degree, I moved to Brisbane and was admitted as a lawyer. Over the following nine years, I worked in private practice across a range of areas including family law, property law, wills and estates, and elder law—though family law has always been my passion.

 

Before joining Best Wilson Buckley Family Law, I worked at a community legal centre, providing advice in the areas of domestic and family violence, family law, child protection, and the protection of counselling records for victims of sexual assault.

 

Why Best Wilson Buckley Family Law?

I am excited to be part of Best Wilson Buckley Family Law, a firm well respected within the industry for its expertise, compassion, and client-focused approach. Working alongside a team of dedicated colleagues whose values align with my own is a privilege.

 

The firm’s core values—Nature, Contribution, Vision, Connection, and Stability—resonate strongly with me. They reflect the principles that are essential when guiding families through separation and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence.

 

My Approach

Clients often describe my approach as calm, compassionate, and practical. I understand that clients know their own stories better than anyone, and I keep this at the forefront of my work.

 

I take the time to explain the different pathways and options available so that clients can make informed choices with confidence. My goal is always to find constructive and effective ways to help clients resolve their matters and move toward a positive future.
