About the firm

A Western Sydney practice built on repeat clients and referrals

Michael Abboud & Co is a practice of solicitors and barristers based on Bridge Street, Granville. We act for individuals and families — not institutions — in matters that usually arrive at a difficult moment: a criminal charge, a separation, or the death of a family member.

The work is deliberately concentrated in three areas rather than spread thin. That means the person advising you has seen matters like yours before, knows the local courts and their registries, and can tell you early on what a realistic outcome looks like.

We are a small firm by choice. Files are not passed between staff, calls are returned, and the solicitor who prepares your matter is the one who appears for you. Much of our work comes from clients we have acted for previously, or from people they have sent to us.

Costs are disclosed in writing before work starts, and we will say plainly when a step is not worth taking. Where a matter would be better handled by a specialist elsewhere, we say so.

How we work

  • Preparation over theatre. Most results are won in the preparation of the brief, not in the courtroom.
  • Settle where sensible. In family and estate matters, an agreement documented properly is usually better than a contested outcome years later.
  • Straight answers. You will be told the weaknesses in your position as well as the strengths.
