For the first time in my life I found myself needing a solicitor. After googling, I chose to call OSheaDyer Solicitors. And I'm so happy I did. After having an initial consultation with Emma Donald, I was extremely happy. I engaged Emma to represent me and we obtained an outcome quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor.  If I ever need a solicitor again, I will go straight to Emma Donald. The team at OSheaDyer were great. Rochelle at Reception was wonderful. Thankyou everyone for making a stressful time in my life, smooth and easy for me.

From the outset, my family lawyer Jodi Dingwall provided frank advice, clear options and likely outcomes. I was given legal advice I could understand and easily digest. I was able to manage costs by doing significant work myself and engaged barrister’s only when absolutely necessary. Jodi understood the challenges of my matter and presented evidence based clear and concise material that offered reasonable orders.  Jodi kept calm under pressure and extended a great sense of humour to take the sting and intimidation out of court events. For a humanised approach to property and family disputes, Jodi Dingwall is the lawyer to go for and O’Shea Dyer is where to find her.    Catherine, August 2020

I have never had any dealings with the Law and am at the start of what feels like a daunting journey. I am so appreciative for O'SheaDyer solicitors. The process of obtaining a Protection Order was emotionally, ethically and mentally taxing. I don’t think Ivan Baxter has a PhD in Psychology but he has understood my situation amazingly well. He answered all my questions with knowledge and supporting advice, making my journey so far, bearable. The outcome of the Protection Order and the manner in which it was handled, was excellent. His work and support along the way was truly appreciated. Not one word I said was misinterpreted or brushed off. So, thank you.   Rashelle 2019

We advise and represent people in all types of Family Law circumstances: separation and divorce, financial settlements, parenting and children arrangements, defacto and same sex relationships, domestic violence situations and other family law matters.

In Townsville since 1983, we have helped many people sort through the legalities of separation and divorce.  Family law can be very complex, so it is important for you to have an experienced Family Lawyer who understands the difficulties of separation - and gives you sensible, practical legal advice.  This helps you move forward with the least amount of stress and expense.   

It is extremely important it is to make sure that despite separation or divorce, your children have a way to maintain and hopefully flourish in their relationship with both mum and dad.  Your lawyer will know this and ensure that all decisions are carefully balanced to give you the best outcomes.

O'SheaDyer Solicitors were recommended to me by a friend. She told me that Ivan and his team were 'the best in the business' and I am very glad I chose them to assist me through a difficult family law issue. Everyone was patient, genuine and compassionate and very easy to relate to and trust. Going through divorce is extremely stressful and Ivan's dedication, knowledge and empathy helped immensely.  O'SheaDyer was not only committed to obtaining the best legal outcome for me but they were also invested in me well-being. I am grateful to the team at O'SheaDyer.    Louise, 2019.


We Protect You

We understand it is important to have a separation lawyer or divorce lawyer in Townsville who is affordable, available and trustworthy. It is important to us that you feel comfortable with your choice of lawyer as this is a difficult time where you are navigating significant change.

If you engage us as your family lawyer, we will understand your circumstances and walk with you through the important changes. We will get to the heart of your issues and give clear advice on your rights and responsibilities. We pride ourselves on our experience and charging reasonable fees. We understand as family lawyers in Townsville, that when a marriage or relationship ends, this often means your income has reduced. We try our very best to be reasonable and affordable with our fees. We are open and transparent about fees and will quote your matter every step of the way.

This is something we would discuss with you at the outset.

We want to help you get back to being the best Mum or Dad you can be, and to assist in sorting your financial future.

 I first went to see OSheaDyer for some help when my marriage ended. My lawyer, Ivan Baxter has been wonderful. He is down to earth, compassionate, cuts to the chase and doesn’t put up with rubbish. He helped me to help myself and was never looking to ‘make money’. He is tough when he needs to be but always looks after people’s best interests – even before they know what those interests are. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.   Suzie Llewellyn, 2020.
