Adam is considered one of Geelong’s most experienced and respected family lawyers. Before finding his home at Canny Legal, Adam worked at two of Geelong’s top legal firms for a total of 18 years. Having practised exclusively in the area of family law since 2007, it goes without saying that Adam is highly regarded and trusted amongst our clients, in his specialised field of family law.
Adam has been involved in many complex family law property settlement/financial and parenting matters, which has enabled him to gain considerable expertise in these difficult and often highly emotional areas.
He appreciates the stress and challenges faced by our clients during separation, and he takes the time to adopt a sensitive and pragmatic approach when assisting them in dealing with this difficult time in their lives. Adam always aims to reduce the tension and anxiety our clients are experiencing by providing them with a friendly and relatable service that offers amicable outcomes for separated couples, whilst also providing strong and robust representation when necessary.
With a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in International Relations and Journalism), Adam was initially trained in a variety of different areas of law at a very well-known Geelong law firm (including Commercial Law) before he decided to practice exclusively in the area of family law in 20017. Since that time, Adam has been a prominent member of the Geelong family law community and regularly appears in the Federal Circuit and Family Court as well as the Geelong Magistrates Court.
An understanding and appreciation of the difficulties of managing young children whilst also maintaining a busy career is just one of the reasons why this makes Adam a leader in the industry.
Born, raised and educated in the Geelong region, Adam works alongside his wife Karlene (who also happens to be Canny Legal’s Wills and Estates expert)!
Outside the office, you can usually find Adam and Karlene driving their children around to their various activities, bike riding, and enjoying travelling together.
