A Central Coast Firm That Knows the Peninsula
We don’t have a Woy Woy shopfront, and we won’t pretend to. Our office is in Erina, a short drive over the hill. But we act for a lot of people on the Peninsula, and our solicitors appear at Woy Woy Local Court when matters are listed there.
A good share of the work we do for Peninsula clients is wills, probate and estate planning, along with contested estates when a family can’t agree. If you’re an executor sorting out a loved one’s affairs, or you’ve been left out of a will and think it isn’t right, that’s squarely the kind of work we handle.
We also cover the rest of the everyday legal ground: separation and parenting, buying or selling a home, criminal and traffic matters at Woy Woy Local Court, and leases for local businesses. If you’re not sure which of those covers your situation, tell us what’s happened and we’ll point you the right way.

Why People Choose Us for Woy Woy Matters
We’re a local firm that runs like a bigger one. The team carries more than 80 years of combined legal practice between them, and most of our new clients come from word of mouth: past clients, current clients, and other Central Coast solicitors who refer work to us.
We’re also not a stuffy law firm, and we don’t talk like one. Legal problems are stressful enough without your lawyer making them harder to follow. We explain what’s happening, what your options are, and what it’s likely to cost, in language that actually makes sense.
For criminal and traffic matters at Woy Woy Local Court, there’s no charge for us to travel to court. You’re paying for the legal work, not the drive to the Peninsula.

Tony Ryan
Solicitor Director, estate litigation and succession planning

Lucus Fiorenza
Senior Solicitor, family law and mediation

Tom Galton
Consultant Solicitor, family law and criminal law

Servicing Woy Woy and the Peninsula
Our Erina office is a short drive from the Peninsula, which makes it easy to meet clients across the Woy Woy area. We regularly act for people in Woy Woy, Umina Beach, Ettalong Beach, Blackwall, Booker Bay, Empire Bay, Killcare, Pearl Beach and Patonga, as well as the surrounding areas.
Woy Woy Local Court hears local criminal, traffic and AVO matters. We appear there when matters are listed, so if your case is at Woy Woy, we can meet you nearby and be in that courtroom with you on the day.
