Legal advice backed by years of practical experience
R.A. Solicitors is a boutique law firm helping people with child protection, criminal, family, domestic violence, traffic, wills and estate matters.
We have operated across South East Queensland since 2009, with offices in Logan Central, Beenleigh and Ipswich. Our team works with clients through difficult and often time-sensitive legal matters, from the first conversation through to court representation.
Serving South East Queensland since 2009
The firm has grown from its long-standing Logan Central office to additional locations in Beenleigh and Ipswich.
While the firm has grown, many of the people behind it have stayed. Several team members have worked with R.A. Solicitors for more than a decade, bringing consistency and a strong understanding of how the firm's matters are handled.
Today, we assist clients from Logan, Beenleigh, Brisbane, Ipswich, the Gold Coast and surrounding areas.
Clear communication
We explain what is happening, what your options are and what needs to happen next.
Respect
We listen without judgement and take the time to understand the circumstances behind your matter.
Responsibility
We take deadlines, court dates and the details of your matter seriously. Our team works carefully to keep you informed as things progress.
Continuity
Where possible you deal with the same people from start to finish, rather than explaining your matter again to someone new.

That continuity means you are usually dealing with people who already know your matter, rather than starting again with someone new.
