He commenced legal practice in Proserpine in 1975 and has been in continuous legal practice in the Whitsunday area for over 40 years.
There are very few areas of the law in which John has not had some exposure during that period of time.
John describes himself as a general practitioner in the true sense of the word however his main areas of professional interest are in property law, litigation (including criminal law), family disputes and maritime law. He has a special interest in the developing area of alternative dispute resolution (mediation) and is a qualified Mediator.

Trix Kunz Paralegal
Conveyancing Paralegal
Trix Kunz originally from South Africa, came to Australia with the family (husband and two kids). “Just passing through” they thought, instead they got stuck and the whole family fell in love with the Whitsundays. Back in South Africa Trix owned a successful business for sixteen years as a Safety Assessor for motor vehicle accident claims and bringing financial relief to those that were victims of motor vehicle accidents. Thus having a very strong passion for people was the key to her success. Some of the challenges were to bridge across different cultures, being bilingual and able to speak Afrikaans helped shorten the bridge between English and Afrikaans cultures. Having a strong network between medical aids, workmen’s compensation and insurance made the process flow quickly.
Trix Kunz is a paralegal of the firm and specialises in cottage conveyancing (buying and selling of existing residential properties & Vacant Land). Trix is focused, organised and has a great track record of properties settling on time. Always happy to take your call and will promptly attend to any requests or queries that is of concern to you, as your property is important to Trix.
