I have been working in personal injury law for 22 years and have been admitted to practice since 2008. I have a Bachelor of Laws degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree.
I was drawn to personal injury law by a desire to help injured plaintiffs gain access to compensation during what is often the most vulnerable period of their lives. As a practitioner with a strong sporting background I understand and appreciate the importance of teamwork, specifically working collaboratively with clients to listen to their thoughts and concerns to understand what is important to them through the claims process. As an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law I am able to use that information, whilst drawing on my extensive practice experience, to provide expert legal advice on the most desirable legal outcomes for clients.
I am proud to have been recognised as a Recommended Lawyer in the Doyle’s Guide Leading New South Wales Motor Vehicle Accident Plaintiff Lawyers in 2022 and 2023.
I have been involved in a number of high-profile cases over the years in various jurisdictions in New South Wales and with each success I have always strived to maintain my core practice values of listening to clients, explaining the available legal options and expertly prosecuting each case with a high level of professionalism and compassion. I am just as committed to providing expert legal advice to clients who are unable to speak for themselves now than I was over 35 years ago when I started my personal injury journey.

Kaylah Noonan
I was very lucky to have Wes (Practice Leader) on my case and Joelle as my Instructing Solicitor. Wes not only brings a wealth of knowledge and experience but is also kind and empathetic. I have felt completely supported and informed throughout.

Wes and the team from LHD took over and made everything so easy for us. They were caring for our whole family, caring for my husband, but also efficient and extremely professional. Communication was of a high standard — we were never left wondering our next steps.
