Newcastle lawyer Kieran Ridley has joined Hebblewhite Lawyers as special counsel, bringing 15 years of legal experience to the firm, including a decade specialising in family law. Ridley, who relocated to Newcastle five years ago, previously worked at major law firms in Sydney.
Ridley said he feels privileged to guide clients through difficult and traumatic times, helping them navigate personal challenges. 'As lawyers, we're there to shine the torch and show people the way, to help them become empowered to take those steps and obtain an outcome that's the best thing for them and their family,' he said.
The addition of Ridley cements Hebblewhite Lawyers' position as one of the most experienced family law specialists in Newcastle. Founder Angela Hebblewhite said she was pleased to welcome another lawyer of Ridley's background, bringing the firm's total to six dedicated family lawyers.
Hebblewhite, who established the firm in 2021, has over 14 years of family law experience, including nine years as a Judge's Associate in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. The firm offers advice on divorce, child custody, property settlements, pre-nuptial agreements, mediation, and spousal maintenance.
