About Us

Farrell Goode has been serving regional communities across New South Wales for over 120 years, combining a deep understanding of local conditions with a commitment to delivering thorough, client-focused legal services. Established in 1896 by Robert Campbell Dibbs in Temora, the firm has grown through generations of dedicated legal professionals who have contributed to its rich history and continued evolution. Our founding partners set the groundwork for a practice that respects tradition while embracing modern legal practices. The firm became known through partnerships such as Dibbs and Farrell, and later through mergers including Thompson, Farrell and Goode, and Farrell Lusher. These developments have allowed Farrell Goode to maintain a strong presence in the regions of Temora, Ardlethan, and West Wyalong, operating from historic premises that reflect its longstanding community connection. Currently led by Jason Goode, who joined the firm in 1990 and carries forward a multi-generational legacy, Farrell Goode is recognised for its expertise across a wide range of legal services tailored to the needs of rural and regional clients. The firm is accredited as a Quality In Law Level II practice, highlighting its commitment to excellence in service delivery outside metropolitan centres. Farrell Goode offers comprehensive legal assistance in areas critical to rural and regional communities. This includes water law, rural and farm conveyancing, rural leasing, and share farming agreements, reflecting deep insight into agricultural and land use matters. Our team also provides estate planning services including wills, testamentary trusts, powers of attorney, and elder law provisions, ensuring the protection and careful management of clients’ legacies. Family law matters are handled with sensitivity and diligence, covering divorce, parenting arrangements, child orders in accordance with recent amendments to the Family Law Amendment Act 2023, and property disputes. The firm also provides support in criminal law matters such as traffic and other criminal offences. Farrell Goode’s long history and community commitment underpin its personalised approach to legal services, ensuring clients receive current, practical advice delivered with dedication and care.
