Brad Shanahan
Partner
When I was admitted as a solicitor on 29 January 1991, I had no idea how rewarding a career of helping injured people, through tough times in their life, would be. I still like to help injured people following serious workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents, mining accidents and any other accident or incident as well. Anyone who has been injured or suffered a loss through no fault of their own can call me for advice.
I received my Accreditation from the Queensland Law Society as a Personal Injuries Specialist on 1 July 1998. I am also a Queensland Law Society approved Mediator and now a Senior Counsellor.
Over the last 30 years, I have acted for hundreds of nice people who have been injured through no fault of their own. I will have “your back” when you need it the most.

What our clients have to say

"Wallace & Wallace has been the best law firm service provided. They go above and beyond to help their clients get the best results at the same time they also care about their clients. I was always notified when things were moving forward, I was checked up on, made sure I was okay and if I ever needed anything. Highly recommend this law firm. It has made my life a lot more easier dealing with great lawyers and people. Thanks to the team at Wallace& Wallace, very grateful and greatly appreciated."
David
"Wallace & Wallace Lawyers professional services exceeded my expectations. I cannot fault the service and respect by all staff I have had contact with. My representative displayed absolute compassion to my circumstances and case and I cannot convey my gratitude. Staff displayed unceasing empathy to myself and my case. I've not had that before and I felt I was not judged."
Diane
"The advice I needed was first class and I felt Brad looked after me by providing sound advice, being clear about the steps I had to take and what to expect. It was refreshing to be able to say exactly what I meant and be heard and not be dismissed as some professionals are wont to do. Brad was excellent. He was patient, tolerant, persistent and followed through on his word to a final outcome that I am very happy with. Although the time frame ended up being a lot longer than I had expected, and this was completely unavoidable. I would absolutely choose to use Wallace & Wallace for any further business I may need to use a law firm for. They made things as simple as possible, always consulted with me, kept their cool (when I didn't) and maintained a sense of humor which is really important to me."
Leanne
"My experience with Wallace & Wallace was certainly a positive experience where everything possible was done to achieve a positive outcome. I have already recommended Wallace & Wallace to 2 people explaining that they will not be disappointed and if ever needed again I would use no one else. I found all staff that I had dealings with during this claim so very nice and helpful. I would like to definitely make a special mention to Brad Shanahan my solicitor in this claim he was amazing, very compassionate and helpful in every way. Extremely satisfied with my overall experience."
Mackell
"No matter who I have dealt with they have all helped in more ways than one and been more than amazing. Communication was amazing from all staff and ensuring I got the best results was in everyone's interests. They always encouraged me to make my own choices but would explain all options in detail. The results that Brad and his team helped me achieve were mind blowing. I have already recommended Wallace & Wallace Lawyers to family and will always recommend to friends."
Matthew
"I am extremely satisfied with how my case was cared for by Brad and his assistants especially Karen. I would like to thank all the team at Wallace & Wallace for all the hard work you all did on my case. It made me feel good to know my case was in the right hands."

An excellent team of ethical, approachable, professional, trustworthy and sincere people who get the job done effectively and efficiently in a timely manner. I have had experience with other conveyancing solicitors, personal injury lawyers, family lawyers and estate planning/will preparation lawyers and have found none that match Wallace & Wallace Lawyers. Thank you."

I would certainly recommend Wallace & Wallace Lawyers as a reliable and experienced law firm."
