Biography:

I have practised law in Mackay for five years and have worked on a range of family law matters including parenting, property and domestic violence.

I have particular interest in helping people navigate the court process and in achieving outcomes through dispute resolution where possible.

I am a board member for the Mackay Women’s Centre and regularly appear as duty solicitor in the Mackay Magistrates Court for domestic violence matters.

I have been an active member of the Mackay District Law Association since 2018, and regularly volunteer at the Mackay Regional Community Legal Centre.

Testimonials

“Lara Tom handled all of our concerns and questions very professionally.“

Waverley & Yvonne

“I have seen other lawyers about this matter previously but I felt the service I got from Lara and Cassandra was outstanding. They both understood my position and understood where I was willing to be negotiable. I could not have asked for a better outcome or better legal representation.”

Kyla

“Lara, I cannot thank you enough for your assistance. Your legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case.”

Bec

“Having to go to court after a traumatic experience was terrifying but necessary. It was such a relief having Lara representing me when I felt so vulnerable. All my calls were answered/returned. Every email was replied to. The excellent team of staff kept me informed and answered all queries with professionalism and understanding. I was also impressed with Ruth’s patience with my many technological difficulties. She never treated me like the moron I left I was. I am grateful to have been represented by Wallace & Wallace. The balance of professionalism and customer care got me through a difficult time in my life. Thank you.”
