After having conducted a successful legal practice in Sydney from 1985 to 2006, in 2007 Wallbanks Legal relocated its principal office from Sydney to Port Stephens near Newcastle, New South Wales.  We have since opened a branch office at Stroud on the mid North Coast between Raymond Terrace and Forster. With physical bases in Stroud, Sydney and Port Stephens and with Rachael regularly present in Sydney, Newcastle, Port Stephens and Stroud, using the latest technology we are now able to offer our legal expertise and representation to our clients across traditional city and regional boundaries.  

We challenge the  old geographically limited 'bricks & mortar' model of legal practice without sacrificing the essential personal contact and service required by clients who require first class legal service. 
Whether in the areas of Family and De facto Relationship Law, Wills, Estates and Succession Law, Wallbanks Legal is keen to welcome you to our client family. We have satisfied clients from all over Australia. You can now have your own personal lawyer and have access to the very best in legal advice and representation no matter where you live. 

Please email an enquiry or call us on 02 4984 4911 and speak to Rachael about how we can assist you to best meet your legal needs.
