For generations Rees R & Sydney Jones have delivered honest, friendly and professional
service to the people of Central Queensland. Through our family law specialisation,
we have the knowledge and experience to support our clients in the planning and
protection of all family matters.
In the event of a relationship breakdown, we are there to prepare and assist in
dealing with the division of property to ensure that you obtain the best possible
result.
Family law exists to deal with legal issues resulting from separation and extends
to matters relating to children and property settlement. It also branches into estate
planning and commercial law.
With Rees R & Sydney Jones, family law isn’t about the fight. It’s about providing
you with understanding and support in a difficult time. With careful planning and
our early intervention the trauma and stresses (emotional and financial) can be
minimised.
Family law matters can bring about conflict between the parties involved. We have
the experience and the skills to manage the conflict effectively. We proactively
seek prompt resolution in all family matters.
Our family law division brings together a team of partners, solicitors, paralegals
and support staff who understand the law and the way it affects our clients.
We are dependable, reliable and act with integrity. We pride ourselves on building
solid client relationships. We focus on delivering consistent, high calibre service
in all that we do. The team is led by partner Paula Phelan and supported by commercial
partner Gerard Houlihan.
Paula has been with the firm since 2001 and has extensive litigation and alternate
dispute resolution experience. She is described by her clients as sympathetic, cost-effective
and relentless.
Paula believes in plain talk and is very conscious of keeping her clients fully
informed throughout any matter. She believes strongly that no person should be disadvantaged
in accessing a lawyer in Central Queensland and no person should consider it necessary
to go out of the region to obtain legal advice.
