Staff Testimonials
Hear what the staff at BDB say about their work!
I moved from South Australia in 2004 to enjoy a better lifestyle. My girls are enrolled in an excellent private school. I am dealing with quality clients and the partners work expectations are very reasonable. Regular CLE’s and fortnightly lawyer’s meetings keep my skills up to date and give me a sense of working with a strong team. - Claire Riddell, Solicitor
After completing my Articles at Bell Dixon Butler in 2006 the partners have continued to provide me with constructive supervision and creative mentoring. I feel confident my career is progressing really well in Hervey Bay. I am getting a broad range of work but also able to develop some areas in the practice that are of real interest to me. I feel part of a team but have control of my own files. I am doing all the stuff I was hoping to do when I was going through Uni. I have a great deal of confidence in my work because of the people I am working with. - Joel Blane, Solicitor
I grew up in Melbourne, spent 8 years working in CBD and regional Victoria and moved to the Bay in 1992. It was undoubtedly the best lifestyle decision of my life. - Steve Dixon, Managing Partner
Ditto – but I grew up throughout Queensland, spent 5 years overseas and in the Gold Coast before moving to the Bay in 1992. - Derek Butler, Partner
Me too – but I grew up in Melbourne, did all of my tertiary studies and training in Brisbane and around the Gold Coast over a period of 7 years before moving to the Bay in 1990 to raise two teenagers. - Marg Kummerfeld, Partner
I was raised in Hervey Bay then went to Uni in Brisbane where I worked in the CBD for 7 years before moving back to the Bay in 1999. I have great autonomy in what I do and really enjoy the quality of clients in my busy commercial mix. -David Buckley, Partner
I am a Chinchilla boy who became a Clerk of Courts and worked all over Queensland for 10 years while studying. After admission I worked in Brisbane before moving to the Bay in 1986 where I raised my family and enjoyed many years of practice. I now work 3 days a week as I am developing a new career as a Chaplain. Hervey Bay is a fantastic community. - Larry Bell, Consultant
