Rebecca manages the day to day operations of the St. George branch.
Our St. George office is a ‘general practice’ office, meaning that Rebecca works in all aspects of the law. She deals with Conveyancing and property transfers, Wills, Crime, Civil Claims, Leases, Family Law and a wide range of other matters on a regular basis. Her client’s are predominately from the Balonne Shire region but she also has clients based in other areas of Queensland and New South Wales.
In addition to dealing with commercial clients, Rebecca also accepts Legal Aid referrals and attends the St. George and Goondiwindi Magistrate’s Courts as Duty Lawyer on a regular basis. This is in furtherance of her own ideals as well as Doyle Wilson’s socially responsible attitude. Both Rebecca and the firm have a keen willingness to provide a high level of service to people within all sectors of our community.
Our St. George office provides a recognised high level of personalised service to its clients, with both Rebecca and Nicole Kelly (Paralegal) being nominated by members of the community as “Staff Member of the Year” in the Balonne Business Excellence Awards 2008. The St. George Office of Doyle Wilson was also nominated for “Service Excellence” in the same year.
Through her studies and experiences as well as her rural background, Rebecca has a keen interest in property law (including water rights) and international law. She plans to undertake additional study in these fields to better serve our clients.
