It’s nice to meet you!
Welcome to Coastal Lawyers.
Chances are if you have found yourself late-night Googling “lawyers near me”. Or asking a trusted friend or Facebook group if they know of a lawyer, that you are in need of some help or guidance with a legal problem.
The goods news is you have landed in the right spot.
Coastal Lawyers are heart centred and solution focussed lawyers located on the sunny Central Coast.
What does this mean?
Well, we not only provide you with the legal advice you expect from a lawyer, but we also provide you the emotional support you may not expect.
Founded by a former prosecutor and former police officer, with over 20 years combined experience, we are trauma informed lawyers who focus on all areas of criminal law and family law (and everything in between).
We offer face to face appointments at our boutique offices at Gosford, as well as video and telephone call appointments.
You can book an appointment online with a click of a button. So let’s get started!
Where do I start?
Like all things in life, you start one step at a time.

A little bit about us?
People generally don’t come to lawyers for criminal law and family law advice in celebration. (That’s okay we don’t take it personally).
But talking to a lawyer doesn’t need to be overwhelming or scary. We just happen to know a lot about a particular topic, in this case the law and how it effects you.
At Coastal Lawyers, we give our client’s frank and practical legal advice. We are human’s, parents and spouses too. We bring our life experience to our role as legal advisers and advocates.
We offer a judgement free and confidential space where you can discuss your legal problems, have your legal questions answered and make informed decisions about your unique situation.
Our clients are busy people who are often juggling work and families. This is why we use technology to make the process of getting legal advice simple and convenient.
We use phone and video calls to regularly keep our clients updated. As well as face to face appointments at our Gosford offices when required.
We also use the latest legal technology including online bookings and payment options. Email and text messages to remind clients about their upcoming appointments and court dates. As well as a secure client portal so clients can conveniently view court documents and correspondence.
Early legal advice is often crucial to the success of your matter.
