Noosa · Queensland
BJH Law is a Noosa-based Queensland firm of three solicitors and two paralegals. The work is criminal law, family law and domestic violence — including matters where those areas overlap. The office is in Noosa. Lawyers travel to Townsville, Mackay, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast courts. Meeting rooms in Townsville and Mackay are available by appointment.
One staffed office. Named courts. A five-person practice that appears where the listing is, rather than pretending to live in every city on the map.
Practice
Criminal, family and domestic-violence files are often the same facts in different rooms. We take each jurisdiction on its own terms, and we keep the other files in view.
01
Trial and hearing work in the Magistrates and District Courts. Bail, mentions, committals, traffic, and serious indictable charges.
02
Parenting, property and divorce in the Federal Circuit and Family Court. Resolution where it is safe; court where it is not.
03
Protection-order work for aggrieved people and respondents under the DFVPA, including temporary orders and contested hearings.
04
A DVO, a criminal charge and a parenting case can run on the same facts. One firm should see the whole map, so the family position does not wreck the criminal defence — and the reverse.
Courts
We do not claim a staffed office in every city we attend. We travel for the listing, and we say so.
Travel
Conferences are by video within a stated timeframe, so you are not waiting for the next trip north.
Meeting rooms in Townsville and Mackay are booked when an in-person conference is needed. They are not branch offices.
Someone from the firm is in the courtroom for mentions and hearings that require it. Travel costs are written into the costs agreement. How we work.
People
A five-person practice. Named people, not a statewide headcount.
