About Us

Culleton Lawyers is an experienced firm representing clients in all court levels, including the High Court of Australia and the Court of Appeal. Since its inception, the firm has focused on delivering personalised legal services that provide good value and clear advice tailored to client needs. In July 2022, Culleton Lawyers expanded by acquiring Rebecca Bailey and Associates, broadening their service in the Illawarra region with offices in Wollongong and Shellharbour. The firm handles a wide variety of legal matters, from property transactions and estate planning to family law disputes, court proceedings, and personal injury claims. They are known for offering compassionate support during difficult times, ensuring clients feel heard and their matters are managed with care and professionalism. Assistance is also provided for elder abuse, capacity, and mental health issues, with guidance through complex processes and a focus on clients’ rights. Clear communication and building trust are central to the firm’s approach. Clients are encouraged to ask questions to clarify any uncertainties, helping them feel comfortable throughout the legal process. Culleton Lawyers charges are based on the time spent working on each case, with written fee estimates provided early on. They also accept legal aid clients, handle workers compensation claims, offer no win no fee arrangements when appropriate, and provide initial advice by phone. For those seeking a second opinion, the firm acknowledges that legal matters can be confusing or frustrating without clear communication. They recommend consulting another law firm to reassess the progress of a case, ensuring the matter is on track or exploring alternative options if necessary. This reflects their commitment to client confidence and transparency. Culleton Lawyers provides expertise across several areas including family law, commercial litigation, probate and estate planning, will contests, compensation, elder abuse, property transactions, strata law, and migration law. Their blend of experience and client-focused service aims to deliver effective legal solutions throughout the Illawarra and surrounding regions.
