Gregory Manor, the original home of Hodgson lawyers.
The firm was previously known as Richard Hoare and Associates and Hickey Olsen and Associates and in 2003 was purchased by Anthony (Tony) Hodgson. Tony renamed the firm Hodgson lawyers and in 2004 John O’Byrne was engaged as the managing Solicitor. In 2008 John acquired the business from Tony. To re enforce the stability of the preceding four years under his management John chose to retain the name Hodgson Lawyers. Tony had maintained and still has, his practice at Mount Gravatt, trading as AP Hodgson & Associates. Tony specialises in criminal, family, taxation and commercial law and has remained a loyal consultant with the firm and proven to be a valuable resource.
Hodgson Lawyers has now for over 16 years built the practice and reputation by focusing on providing professional legal advice to our clients in a cost effective and accessible way. Our lawyers are there to help you.
We have served the Goodna and Ipswich community with our office originally located in a well-known and iconic Queenslander (pictured above) on the outskirts of the Goodna CBD, we recently moved closer to the business district and relocated at units 5 and 6, 18 Queen Street, Goodna where we have good office facilities and plenty of off street parking for our clients.
Our Brisbane office was opened in 2015 in Brunswick Street, New Farm and after four years we have outgrown those premises and moved across the road to new premises situated at 655 Brunswick Street, New Farm, alongside St Michaels Anglican Church. We went from having one interview office and no car spaces to five offices and spaces for 11 cars. There is ample off street parking in Oxley Lane for clients and access to the office can be from Brunswick Street or Oxley Lane, New Farm.
As with the Goodna office, there are good public transport links making each of our offices easily accessible by public transport. We also have easy access for the elderly and disabled with wheelchair access to both premises.
Our office hours are between 9:00am and 5:00pm Monday to Friday, however, our dedicated staff will go out of their way to fit in with your busy schedule for early morning and late appointments. We have even been known to open our doors on a Saturday to fit in with clients. (By appointment only)
We have recently introduced a new strategy in providing 15 minutes of free legal advice to new clients and existing clients on new legal issues that they are faced with.
We understand that engaging legal services is often done at times of stress in people’s lives and that is why good communication is a key factor in our ongoing success and an important part of our relationship with you, our client. We will do our best to keep you well informed with the progress of your legal matter, however, please feel free to contact our management team should you need to do so.
