Michael Duong was admitted as a solicitor in 2001. Since becoming a solicitor Michael has built a strong reputation in the legal profession, particularly in family law and criminal law.
In family law, Michael’s negotiation skills see the majority of his matters settle without the need for court action. When court action is required, Michael draws on his 20+ years of experience to carefully strategise his way through the litigation process, and with his client-focused approach ensuring that he strives for the best possible outcome and at the same time, relieving his client of the stress of the family law court process.
Michael is experienced in all aspects of family law including divorce, property settlement, child custody and spousal maintenance.
In criminal law, Michael has a wealth of experience in Local Courts all across NSW and the District Court of NSW.

Our clients appreciate the approach we take and the skills our team have to handle all aspects of an estate administration – including the sale of property and litigation advice if there is a challenge to the will. ”
