Expert Court Advocate In 2005, the NSW Law Society awarded our principal solicitor, Gary Hooper, with an accreditation in Advocacy.

An accreditation is given by the Law Society so that the public can identify a solicitor who is an expert in a specialist field and it is only given if the solicitor can demonstrate a high degree of proficiency and experience in that field. 

​Gary is the only solicitor on the North Coast of NSW to have received an accreditation in Advocacy. He appears almost daily in the Courts in Lismore and Ballina and from Coffs Harbour to Tweed Heads and has been involved in some landmark criminal and civil litigation.
Advocacy is the craft of Court work and it includes the ability to argue persuasively for a client or cause.

  • Gary fought hard for me all the way. I beat the charges, cleared my name, and the money that the police paid me helped buy the boat that I'm living on now! 
  • The appeal was successful and Gary was fantastic. I should have used him from the start.​
  • ... he picked the police case apart.
  • ... the sort of lawyer that sticks with you.
  • ... he helped me stay out of jail.
  • ... calm and reassuring, practical...
  • ... worth every cent that I paid.
