Celebrating what makes us great

“What we do is an incredibly personal and challenging experience, and is certainly not on anyone’s bucket list,” says Best Wilson Buckley Family Law legal practice director Kara Best says.

“It is because of this that we understand that it takes exceptional people to be exceptional family lawyers, and why we celebrate the people we are lucky enough to work with every day, so we would like to introduce you to Toowoomba family lawyer, Neal Wood.”

Neal Wood is an associate at Best Wilson Buckley Family Law.

Neal has worked exclusively in family law since his admission in 2008.

Prior to joining the Best Wilson Buckley Family Law team as an associate in early 2015, Neal worked exclusively in dedicated family law firms in Brisbane.

He and his family made the move to Toowoomba from Brisbane in early 2015.
