Hervey Bay's Preferred Lawyer & Solicitor

Family Lawyers & Solicitors

Our Hervey Bay solicitors and staff of DJ Hinton Lawyers understand that the breakdown of a relationship, whether a marriage or de facto relationship, can be one of the most difficult and emotional times in a person’s life. Our firm provides assistance and support to all family law clients to get through this difficult time and to achieve the best possible outcome. Our team, headed by principal David Hinton in Hervey Bay, and associate Meaghan Smyth in Caloundra, have a thorough working knowledge of this specialised area of law, including all aspects of financial matters, children’s matters, child and spouse maintenance and divorce.

Will & Estate Disputes

In all areas of disputes involving Estates and Wills, you need the assistance of a lawyer or solicitor with experience in this area. Our principal David Hinton has that experience and is able to advise you about the merits of your matter and assist you to achieve the best possible outcome.

We are aware that these types of disputes are often very emotional and can involve family and friends. We believe it is our job to take away as much of the emotional turmoil as possible for you, and also to remain objective at all times to ensure you are provided with accurate and realistic advice.

Insurance & TPD Claims

DJ Hinton Lawyers specialise in helping people who have suffered loss or damage through no fault of their own. Our focus is on providing a personal, professional and friendly service to ensure our clients receive all the compensation they are due in a timely and cost-effective manner. If you have suffered some loss or damage due to someone else’s negligence – whether at work, in a motor vehicle, in a public place or even a private residence – you may be entitled to compensation, in which case, we can help you.

Conveyancing

Buying a home is the largest financial commitment most people will make in their lifetime. In Queensland, the practice of conveyancing has become very difficult and time-consuming for many different reasons, including because many people choose to handle such matters themselves when they do not fully understand the legal requirements and procedures. Whether you are buying or selling a house or unit it is important you receive proper advice to ensure your interests are always protected.

Civil & Commercial Litigation

If you are involved in a civil or commercial dispute, DJ Hinton’s team of solicitors and lawyers in Hervey Bay or Caloundra can provide experienced advice and representation. Our Principal David Hinton has been in practice since 1989 and has been involved in numerous civil and commercial disputes, including matters in the Magistrate’s Court, District Court and Supreme Court.

Traffic & Criminal Law

If you have been charged with a traffic or criminal offence, we can assist you with advice and court representation. Being charged with a traffic or criminal offence can have serious consequences. If you plead guilty or are found guilty, a conviction may be recorded against you, regardless of how minor the offence may have been. A criminal conviction can have a major impact on many aspects of your life, including employment and overseas travel.
