Regional Lawyer Charleville
Legal matters can be complex and difficult to resolve. Make an appointment with your regional lawyer Charleville for expert legal advice.
Country practice may still conjure up images of dusty Akubras and outback pubs, but these days there’s a lot more to it than that. Frank Jongkind runs a twosolicitors firm in Charleville and says his work is “extremely gratifying”. But it’s not for everyone.

Mr Jongkind, who owns the two-solicitor firm Frank Jongkind & Co in Charleville, says it’s more rewarding to work as a country lawyer than it is in the city because you have a connection with your clients. He admits it can be tough to recruit quality support staff, especially when he’s competing with bigger firms in the same town.
Wes regularly appears in trial before each division of the Federal Court and Family Court in child custody, parenting and property matters for applicants and respondents. He also drafts and settles pleadings, applications, orders and other Court documents. He is a member of the Family Law Practitioners Association and the Australian Workers' Union.

At his two-lawyer practice in Charleville, Frank Jongkind finds it difficult to attract support staff. He cites the lack of law school training as a major hurdle.
Contact
Country lawyers are often called to serve their communities, no matter how remote. Frank Jongkind, owner of two-solicitor Charleville practice Frank Jongkind & Co, says that while working with his clients’ families is very gratifying, it can also be challenging. He explains that it can take time to build relationships with country clients, as they may not visit the city very often.
Located west of Roma, Charles Legal Group needed a website to showcase their experienced solicitors and legal practitioners as well as the variety of services they offer rural Queenslanders. After a consultation, CoBright helped them upgrade their existing site and create one that was professional and concise whilst reflecting the reality of their business. They were very happy with the result. A big thank you to the team!
