What should I look for when choosing a lawyer in Sydney?
There has been a significant increase in the number of lawyers practicing in the Australian legal profession, so it can be hard to know how to find the right lawyer to represent you.
When selecting a lawyer, consider how established and reputable the law firm is, if there is an office near you that is accessible, and if the lawyer has specialist knowledge and skills in the area of law you need help with.
Legal matters can take time to resolve, so it is important to find a lawyer you can connect with and communicate effectively with.
At Attwood Marshall Lawyers, we combine decades of experience with a client-first approach to deliver practical outcomes for individuals, families, and businesses across Sydney. In everything that we do, we embody our core values of integrity, understanding and responsibility.
Does Attwood Marshall Lawyers offer a No Win, No Fee arrangement?
Yes. Our Sydney lawyers offer a no win no fee guarantee on all personal injury and compensation claims. This means that you can pursue a motor vehicle accident claim, workers’ compensation claim, institutional abuse claim, medical negligence claim, or public liability claim without paying any upfront costs, and you only pay our fees if you win your case and receive compensation.
We offer a free, no obligation initial consultation for compensation claims so you can find out where you stand, ask any questions you may have about the no win, no fee arrangement, and get your claim underway.
Can Attwood Marshall Lawyers help me with family law matters in Sydney?
Absolutely. Our Sydney family lawyers assist clients with all family law matters including parenting orders and parenting plans, custody arrangements, divorce applications, property settlements, domestic and family violence, financial agreements, and surrogacy.

Does Attwood Marshall Lawyers handle estate disputes and contested Wills in NSW?
Our estate litigation lawyers are highly experienced in resolving Will disputes, family provision claims, and contested probate matters across Australia, with the state-specific knowledge to act in NSW. We understand these cases are often emotionally charged and complex. Our lawyers will guide you through the process with compassion while vigorously protecting your legal rights.
How do I know if I have a legal case?
If you’re unsure whether your situation requires legal action, the best step is to speak with our team to understand your rights. Our Sydney team will listen to your story, explain your options, and advise whether pursuing a case is worthwhile. You’ll leave the meeting with a clear understanding of your rights and next steps.
Why choose a full-service law firm instead of a boutique practice?
At Attwood Marshall Lawyers, you don’t have to choose between the personal attention of a boutique firm and the broad expertise of a larger practice – we offer the best of both worlds.
Each area of law is handled by lawyers who focus exclusively on their field, so you receive specialist advice backed by the latest knowledge and strategies. At the same time, our team works together across practice areas to deliver seamless solutions when life’s legal issues overlap.
For example, if you’re going through a separation, you may also need help selling property and updating your Will. Instead of juggling multiple firms, you can rely on one trusted team, with each matter handled by an expert who understands your bigger picture.
Backed by more than 80 years of service, and guided by our core values of integrity, understanding, and responsibility, we deliver not just legal advice, but peace of mind.

Proudly supporting access to justice through pro bono legal services
As part of our ongoing commitment to access to justice, we are proud to be a registered participant in the Law Society of New South Wales Pro Bono Scheme 2025. This initiative connects individuals who are unable to access Legal Aid with volunteer lawyers who provide legal help at no cost, or for a significantly reduced fee.
Through the scheme, eligible individuals may receive assistance with legal advice, document preparation, court or mediation representation, and ongoing support, depending on the nature of their case and available resources.
We understand that navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, particularly for those facing financial hardship. By volunteering our services, we aim to help bridge that gap and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Each year, we host Community Wills Days in conjunction with several important and hard-working charities. Community Wills Days are a great initiative to help people draft a legally binding Will and support the vital work these charities do.
When someone registers to attend a Community Wills Day, they pay a nominal booking fee and that fee is donated to the charity. Our team members donate their time to draft the Wills, helping people plan, protect, and preserve their wishes.
We always welcome new opportunities to partner with charities that help save lives and support our community.
