Andrew is particularly passionate about wills and probate matters having over 10 years of experience managing deceased estate cases. “Over the years, I have conducted many complex estate administration matters and Supreme Court will challenges, with favourable outcomes.”

Estate and Guardianship matters often involve difficult family relationships and tense conflicts, for example when someone has been left out of a family will or there is a dispute regarding the care of a family member.

Andrew’s experience and genuine sensitivity towards his clients and his highly sought-after negotiation skills can help families resolve disputes at an early stage of the proceedings, to avoid a lengthy and costly trial.

“Many of my weekly phone appointments are from employees seeking urgent advice about their pressing workplace issue.” In these instances, Andrew helps his clients by giving practical advice, assisting with disciplinary meetings with their employer or walking them through lodging an unfair dismissal claim.
