Finemore Walters & Story Solicitors

Finemore Walters & Story Solicitors has provided legal services to the Wide Bay – Burnett region for generations. The firm has offices in Bundaberg, Childers and Mundubbera. It consists of more than 50 people, including partners, solicitors, and skilled staff. For over 60 years, Finemore Walters & Story has provided legal advice to the region's families, individuals and institutions. In the 1940s, solicitor Gordon Finemore started business as a sole practitioner in Bundaberg. Gordon Finemore later went into partnership with George Walters.

In 1952, Ian Story joined the partnership, and the firm became Finemore Walters & Story. Ian Story remained with the firm until his retirement in 1990. In 2015 the firm began to expand beyond Bundaberg by acquiring the firm KJ Rennick Solicitor. In 2017 Finemore Walters & Story acquired the firm Kingston and Stanton Solicitors and established a permanent presence in Childers. Finemore Walters & Story is one of the largest firms in the Wide Bay – Burnett region. The firm's liability is limited by a scheme approved under professional standards legislation.

Property transactions of every kind, including house sales, farm sales and purchases, account for a large share of the feedback left for this Bundaberg firm. Reviewers repeatedly note that communication stayed consistent throughout, with calls and emails answered promptly and updates provided as matters progressed. Ashley earns particular mention for clear, down-to-earth advice and patient guidance through a settlement made difficult by a bank and an agent. Cam is credited with deep knowledge of family law and a talent for explaining the legal process simply, helping clients feel at ease and achieve strong outcomes.

Thanks also go to Kirsty, Susan, Tim, Rebecca and Chanyn for thorough, efficient and compassionate service, including serious matters handled with care. A recurring theme is that costs remained reasonable for the work performed, matched by professional handling across the board. Instructions given to the firm are followed through and solutions found when complications arise, which several clients say removed the stress from their dealings. Instructions and advice cover family matters, bankruptcy, elder law and employment work alongside conveyancing. The consistency of service across repeat property settlements has built lasting trust among those who return.
