Jodi Dingwall from O'Shea & Dyer Solicitors helped my family through a traumatic time. Jodi took our case with great care through each and every process. Jodi is not only professional, she is human, bringing her infectious laugh and humour in moments you really need it. Jodi gives honest to the point advice, doing everything she can to ensure you get the best possible outcome for your family. All staff at O’Shea & Dyer have been so welcoming, helpful and kind. From remembering your name when you walk in the door, to remembering the way you drink your tea/coffee the next time you have an appointment, they make you feel like you’re in the right place.
Words can’t express how grateful we are to have the best possible outcome from such a stressful situation.
Professional, down to earth and excellent support.
Ivan and Tyla worked with me for over a year to secure a satisfactory outcome in my matter. They were both professional, kind, and above all - honest and realistic about both the process and the outcome. I can’t thank them enough for all their help and support
Ivan, Tyla, and the team at O'Shea Dyer handled my claim with exceptional professionalism and support throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of expert assistance!
From the very start of my initial call to talk to a solicitor about my situation, I felt like I had someone who understood what I was going through and valued what I was about. Dealing with Jodie and Emma was a god sent, there experience and knowledge was invaluable, even if sometimes I did not like what they were telling me, it was the truth and it was the best outcome for me and my children and that was that was the main thing. I can never say enough good things about this firm, my ordeal took some time and over that time I got to meet pretty much everyone in the firm and they were all amazing. I can never THANK them enough. I will always be so grateful to O,Shea & Dyer Solicitors.
29/11/2024 I have just called upon Emma Donald and her wealth of experience and knowledge to help me finish the final stages of my proceedings. I can not Thank you enough Emma and the team at O'Shea for helping me and giving me the best advice and outcome. I felt supported through this process and due to the other party neglect and failures I came out with a desired outcome for myself and children. I would highly recommend.
Thank you to Bridgette and the team at O'Shea & Dyer Solicitors - you may not have been able to assist me today but you certainly made feel like I mattered. It's refreshing and appreciated. Kindest Regards, Lochie.
Excellent law firm very professional and very easy to deal with highly recommend
Gosh it is hard to put into words the importance Courtney and Emma from O'Shea & Dyer provided in our Family Law matter. After sixteen months we have a Court Order designed to reduce risk of harm to our grandchild. I was very lost and emotional, resulting in difficulty understanding the processes required to get to final orders. Thankyou for your patience and understanding, as well as professional and practical knowledge which led to such a good outcome for our family. Thankyou Zoe for guiding me on technology and Susan who always gave such a warm welcome each visit.

I am absolutely astounded at how amazing the entire family law team is at O'Shea and Dyer. They made me feel like family, supported me every step of the way and showed such empathy during a difficult time. There was always someone to talk to whenever I needed reassurance during this process which was so greatly appreciated. Special mentions to Emma Donald, Bridget Barrie and Zoe Haddon!
I am extremely grateful to Jodie and Sam for assisting and guiding me through my unexpected marriage break up. I would specifically like to thank Sam Stewart took his time yo guide me through buying a property. I felt secure starting again.

Words cannot express my gratitude for your help, understanding, guidance, support and kindness towards me at this time in my life. Sara keane.

It has been such a pleasure to have met you all. Always available with a smile on faces and if needed there to help and advise. Many Thanks Col

I cannot praise Courtney Aitken enough. Her professional approach, experience and expertise as a Family Lawyer are exemplary. Courtney ensured that I fully understood the whole difficult process. I felt confident every step of the way in this, unfamiliar legal territory. Her vast experience ensured she was always ahead of the game, and on my side. All the way through my Family Law experience I felt that I not only had Courtney’s full support but also that of all the experienced lawyers at O’Shea and Dyer. I cannot recommend Courtney and the team at O’Shea and Dyer highly enough. Jacqui Conn
All staff at O’Shea Dyer Solicitors have been excellent deal with. Instructions on how to gather information for my case were easy to follow. Response to correspondence was very timely. Make an appointment to see someone with your concerns and see how they can help you.
Going through a divorce is such an ordeal. However having Emma Donald as my family lawyer, made the experience as seamless as possible. Her team Zoe and front admin Susan at O’Shea Dyer are fantastic. If I could give Emma Donald 10 stars I would. She is an expert practitioner in the field of family law. She has a keen insight into people and how to navigate the best way to deal with each situation.
Today, I had the pleasure of connecting with Jodi Dingwall the remarkable Family Lawyer at O'Shea & Dyer Solicitors in Townsville.

Great experience. Ivan and the team have been great to deal with. Highly recommend.
I have been dealing with Emma Donald at O’Shea & Dyer for roughly 5 years and I have found her and her team to be extremely professional, courteous and compassionate.
Her knowledge of the family court system and her ability to explain it to you in a manner that is comprehendible is second to none.
5 stars Emma.
Thank you

We had a wonderful experience with this firm when having our Wills prepared. We really appreciated Robyn’s persistence with us as we took a lot longer than expected to attend to signing. Robyn was very helpful, friendly and always great to communicate with. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!
A positive outcome for me from the team with O’Shea & Dyer. Friendly team & friendly manner!
Ivan was great. He told us the real way the Insurance company will act and the most logical way to accept or reject the offers when they flow. Very informative.
I had a great team who really help me, great communication and really made sure I was well looked after.
From our very first meeting it was evident we made the right choice in engaging Ivan, Tyla and the team at O’Shea Dyer and we cannot thank them enough. Their professionalism and ability to always put out best internet first was nothing short of amazing. Although it was a long winded process, we are very grateful for the efforts from everyone in getting our case settled. We would highly recommend contacting the team at O’sea Dyer for any legal advice .
Ivan and his team, Tyla, Shelleigh, Eleanor and Rochelle have been nothing short of amazing. They have been informative, professional and would do anything to assist me. I was kept informed throughout my litigation and the very best outcomes were gained.

I can not thank O'shea and Dyer enough for the service and professionalism offerred to me over the past 20 years.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the O’Shea & Dyer team. I was greeted with a smile as soon I walked in and have never looked back. Ivan Baxter got the most out for my own personal injury claim and I’ve never felt more satisfied with an outcome with a Townsville legal team. Highly recommend!

O'Shea & Dyer aren't 'run of the mill' solicitors, they are an exceptional firm, giving honest advice and will fight hard for your matter, while saving your money as best they can. Their team of experienced and courageous people will support you through incredibly challenging times and give you faith to trust their process as they hunt for your success.
After a very negative experience with a different Townsville firm, I was incredibly nervous of what O'Shea & Dyer might be like. I took a friend who had recommended them herself to the first meeting. Somewhere during that meeting I realised that Ivan and Jo were nothing like the negative firm. O'Shea & Dyer are NOT 'fat cat lawyers' nor are they only looking for money as I realised these were genuinely caring and supportive professionals. I had a very complex and difficult matter with compounded issues around social interactions. Thankfully Jo realised I had ADHD before I was diagnosed and she directed the team to understand my needs and worked around the problems I had.
There are many people who make up this business and every single one of them work hard for clients, they are very friendly and polite, caring and go above and beyond to help their clients. This is a family orientated business who seek the BEST possible outcomes for their clients. This is a business which will make you feel like part of their wonderful family environment. I've always felt they are reasonable with the cost of their services and they advise what is required to have clients spend minimal funds with the best possible outcome.
I am beyond grateful to this team who picked up a crushed country girl and guided me through the most horrible experience of my life. I highly recommend this firm for every aspect of their service and caring advice.
Ivan & Tyla were extremely good with my case I was kept up to date with everything
Ivan and the team helped me through a very difficult time after a workplace injury and negotiated a very positive outcome to my claim and ensured access to my TPD via my superannuation fund. Ivan conducts himself with professionalism and is very knowledgeable. The Oshea Dyer team are very supportive and informative. Their dedication and commitment to my case was second to none. I am both grateful and thankful for their continued efforts and efficiency. I would wholeheartedly recommend this business.
