Stacks Law Firm, Tweed Heads originated from the merger in 1997 of two local and respected firms, Halliday & Stainlay and A D Mitchell and Co. Ted Halliday commenced legal practice in Murwillumbah in 1891, with a branch office at Coolangatta. Mr Halliday teamed up with Leo Stainlay after the Second World War, beginning a successful partnership. Tony Mitchell commenced legal practice in Tweed Heads in 1985.

Stacks Law Firm, Tweed Heads is proud of its origins and today continues the practice of providing a friendly and supportive environment with traditional family values.

Our firm is a member of the Stacks Law Group, which means it has access to the combined knowledge and experience of over 90 lawyers in more than 25 offices across NSW and QLD.

Thank you for all of your hard work over the duration of my claim. You consistently provided an excellent level of legal service, as well as a genuine compassion.
