About Our Practice
Who We Are
Our Legal Services
Hannaway Lawyers Pty Ltd was established in Port Macquarie in February of 2002. Since then, we have assisted clients in a diverse range of cases related to civil, criminal, family, property conveyancing, and wills and estates.
Whether you are due in court for a small matter or a serious and complex case, our solicitors work with you to get your best possible results. We handle every matter with the same care and consideration that we would expect from a solicitor representing us.
Hannaway Lawyers Pty Ltd has highly valued, knowledgeable, and motivated staff. We endeavour to provide the highest quality services possible. Our team strives to be correct on the law, respectful, careful in representation, and compassionate with every client.
Our goal is to get the best possible outcome for our clients, and we consistently work to achieve this.
Our Specialties
Accredited Specialists
One of the advantages of using our firm is that we have an Accredited Specialist in family law and criminal law. Only 6.7% of all lawyers in NSW have accreditation in criminal law, and 13.3% in family law. Only 2% of lawyers have both accreditations at once.
You may see other firms describe themselves as specialists, but if they are not Accredited Specialists, then they are not recognised by the Law Society of NSW as being a specialist. Having the Specialist Accreditation means that the solicitor has spent more time studying criminal and family law, passed oral and written exams, assignments, provided a portfolio of work, and demonstrated that they have more proficiency in handling such cases.
All of our staff are mentored and closely monitored by our Accredited Specialist. Gabrielle Hannaway was admitted as a Solicitor and Barrister of the Supreme Court of NSW and the High Court of Australia in 2015. Gabrielle has a Master's Degree in Applied Family Law. Gabrielle has extensive knowledge and practice in family law, especially as an Independent Children’s Lawyer.
Gabrielle is on the Specialist Cross-Examination panel and the Domestic Violence Panel. She has established a highly respected reputation within the Family Court and other systems and has a vast knowledge of general law.
Gabrielle has had extensive application of complex Family Law Parenting and Family Law Property. Gabrielle has undertaken hundreds of family law mediations and is a highly proficient negotiator.
