Bruce Dulley Family Lawyers is based in Brisbane and has served families across Queensland — and clients with interstate matters — for more than 50 years. Over that time the firm has built a reputation for doing one thing and doing it well: family law. Unlike general practices that handle family matters alongside everything else, our focus has been on family law for more than 40 years — so when you come to us, you are dealing with people who understand the law, the courts and, just as importantly, what you are going through.
Our approach
Separation is one of the most stressful experiences in life. Our job is to take the legal weight off your shoulders, explain your options in plain English, and resolve your matter as efficiently and fairly as possible. Wherever it is sensible, we pursue a negotiated outcome — through correspondence, mediation or a settlement conference — to keep costs and stress down. Where a fair agreement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to advocate for you in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia or the Queensland Magistrates Court.
Where we are
Our office is at Level 4, 231 North Quay, Brisbane City QLD 4000, in the heart of the Brisbane CBD and within walking distance of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and the Brisbane Magistrates Court. That proximity is one reason regional and interstate firms also instruct us as their Brisbane town agent.
Our team
Our practice is led by Bruce Dulley, the firm's principal, who has specialised in family law for 40 years. Bruce is supported by Murray Shaw, Senior Associate, who brings over 20 years' family law experience. You can read more about the people who will act for you on our team page.
Whatever stage you are at — just considering your options, or already in proceedings — we can help. Book a confidential consultation with no obligation.
