There is a real difference between generic legal help and lawyers who genuinely know their community.

At Access Law Group, our Criminal Law team has over 40 years of combined legal practice experience in the Wollongong and Sydney regions.

We understand the local courts, the local processes, and we have built solid relationships with the parties involved in the criminal law process. That local, experienced expertise often makes a meaningful difference to how matters are managed.

If you or someone you love is facing a criminal law matter, you deserve a team that understands both the law and the community.

If something in your business feels off, an unpaid invoice, a difficult conversation with a supplier, or a partner disagreement that keeps returning, the earlier you get proper legal advice, the more options you have.

Waiting rarely makes a dispute smaller. It usually makes it more expensive, more stressful, and harder to resolve.

At Access Law Group, we identify the key facts and issues early, so your interests can be protected without unnecessary conflict, cost, or court time.

Simply email [email protected] to book a fixed-price, no-obligation 1-hour consultation. We listen carefully, assess your situation, and give you a clear outline of our approach and likely fees.

If you are ever in trouble with the law, the single most valuable step you can take is to seek advice early.

Criminal law is an area where timing can materially affect outcomes. What happens in the first hours and days often shapes what becomes possible later.

At Access Law Group, our Criminal Law team has over 50 years of combined legal practice experience across the Wollongong and Sydney regions. We work across the complete range of criminal justice matters, and our sole aim is to deliver the best results for our clients while navigating them through the Police and Court systems.

Early advice is not about panic. It is about clarity, protection and giving yourself the best possible position from the outset.

In a situation where your personal world, and legal world combine, we bridge the gap between the law and you.

Urgent assistance is available outside business hours. Simple email [email protected] with the subject: URGENT and someone will be in touch.

Buying your first home is exciting. It can also feel unfamiliar.

Beyond the deposit and the loan approval, there is a legal process working quietly in the background, one that shapes what you are actually buying and the protections you have.

You do not need to become an expert. You just need a trusted one beside you.

At Access Law Group, we walk buyers through the process with clear, prompt communication and practical advice, so you can move forward with confidence.

If you are facing financial hardship in the Illawarra and considering selling property or business assets to get back on your feet, there is something you need to know: unpaid tax debt doesn't disappear just because you're selling for other reasons.

We have seen too many Wollongong and Shellharbour families get to settlement only to discover the ATO has claimed their sale proceeds for tax bills they had forgotten about or did not know existed.

The sale that was supposed to save them? Made things worse.

But here is what matters: you have rights and options under financial hardship provisions, IF you engage before finalising the sale.

Have you ever been blindsided by an unexpected tax bill during a major financial decision? How did you handle it?

One of the biggest sources of stress during separation is uncertainty.

You may be wondering:
• What am I entitled to?
• What are my responsibilities as a parent?
• How are property and finances divided?
• What happens next?

You do not have to navigate those questions alone.

Our Family Law team is here to explain the law in plain language, help you understand where you stand, and guide you through your options, calmly and clearly.

Book a fixed fee 60-minute consultation with our experienced Wollongong Family Law solicitors on (02) 4220 7100.

Recently, surrounded by his closest family, our very own Thomas Main was admitted as a Lawyer of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

Congratulations, Thomas! We couldn't be prouder.

Worried about who will look after your child with disability when you're gone?

You are not alone. It's one of the biggest concerns for Australian families, and the reason Special Disability Trusts exist.

Here's what makes them different:
💙 Protect up to $793,750 WITHOUT affecting their pension
💙 Tax advantages that save thousands every year
💙 You can gift $500,000 into the trust without Centrelink penalties

But, and this is important, they only work if set up correctly. One mistake in the trust deed and you lose everything.

We've written a complete guide to help NSW families understand:
✔ Who qualifies as a beneficiary
✔ What the trust can pay for (care, accommodation, medical costs)
✔ How to structure contributions properly
✔ Whether an SDT is right for your family
