For the first time in my life I found myself needing a solicitor. After googling, I chose to call OSheaDyer Solicitors. And I'm so happy I did. After having an initial consultation with Emma Donald, I was extremely happy. I engaged Emma to represent me and we obtained an outcome quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor. If I ever need a solicitor again, I will go straight to Emma Donald. The team at OSheaDyer were great. Rochelle at Reception was wonderful. Thankyou everyone for making a stressful time in my life, smooth and easy for me.

From the outset, my family lawyer Jodi Dingwall provided frank advice, clear options and likely outcomes. I was given legal advice I could understand and easily digest. I was able to manage costs by doing significant work myself and engaged barrister’s only when absolutely necessary. Jodi understood the challenges of my matter and presented evidence based clear and concise material that offered reasonable orders. Jodi kept calm under pressure and extended a great sense of humour to take the sting and intimidation out of court events. For a humanised approach to property and family disputes, Jodi Dingwall is the lawyer to go for and O’Shea Dyer is where to find her. Catherine, August 2020
I have never had any dealings with the Law and am at the start of what feels like a daunting journey. I am so appreciative for O'SheaDyer solicitors. The process of obtaining a Protection Order was emotionally, ethically and mentally taxing. I don’t think Ivan Baxter has a PhD in Psychology but he has understood my situation amazingly well. He answered all my questions with knowledge and supporting advice, making my journey so far, bearable. The outcome of the Protection Order and the manner in which it was handled, was excellent. His work and support along the way was truly appreciated. Not one word I said was misinterpreted or brushed off. So, thank you. Rashelle 2019
We advise and represent people in all types of Family Law circumstances: separation and divorce, financial settlements, parenting and children arrangements, defacto and same sex relationships, domestic violence situations and other family law matters.In Townsville since 1983, we have helped many people sort through the legalities of separation and divorce. Family law can be very complex, so it is important for you to have an experienced Family Lawyer who understands the difficulties of separation - and gives you sensible, practical legal advice. This helps you move forward with the least amount of stress and expense.
It is extremely important it is to make sure that despite separation or divorce, your children have a way to maintain and hopefully flourish in their relationship with both mum and dad. Your lawyer will know this and ensure that all decisions are carefully balanced to give you the best outcomes.
Navigating through the complexities of your property (and superannuation) division can be challenging for almost everyone. We help by simplifying, guiding and protecting you in this process to ensure that settlements are fair and your rights are protected.
The majority of our new clients are recommended to us by past clients who were happy with our service and the outcomes we obtained for them. Our team of lawyers and paralegals work together to help obtain the best outcomes for you. We are confidential and sensitive to the personal nature of Family Law, and we are here to protect you.
O'SheaDyer Solicitors were recommended to me by a friend. She told me that Ivan and his team were 'the best in the business' and I am very glad I chose them to assist me through a difficult family law issue. Everyone was patient, genuine and compassionate and very easy to relate to and trust. Going through divorce is extremely stressful and Ivan's dedication, knowledge and empathy helped immensely. O'SheaDyer was not only committed to obtaining the best legal outcome for me but they were also invested in me well-being. I am grateful to the team at O'SheaDyer. Louise, 2019.

I first went to see OSheaDyer for some help when my marriage ended. My lawyer, Ivan Baxter has been wonderful. He is down to earth, compassionate, cuts to the chase and doesn’t put up with rubbish. He helped me to help myself and was never looking to ‘make money’. He is tough when he needs to be but always looks after people’s best interests – even before they know what those interests are. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. Suzie Llewellyn, 2020.
