Services
Tonkin Drysdale Partners was established in Woy Woy in 1958. More than 60 years later we are still providing the community with the highest quality legal advice, from the same location and with the same values. Our founding father was the late Philip Tonkin. His son, Paul, was admitted to our firm's partnership in 1992, on the same day his dad retired.
With a team of seven solicitors who have over 100 years combined experience, Tonkin Drysdale Partners is one of the largest and most experienced law firms on the Central Coast. Combining experience with an exuberant desire to achieve great results, each of our lawyers contribute unique perspectives and expertise to the TDP team.
TDP is a proud sponsor of the Central Coast's only national sporting franchise - A-League foundation club the Central Coast Mariners. Our association with the Mariners pre-dates the club's professional debut in 2005/06, and we are thrilled to have continued our corporate sponsorship each year since.
Lee was appointed by the Law Society of NSW as an Accredited Specialist in Family Law in 2017. He is the only Family Law Accredited Specialist in the Central Coast/Hunter region to sit on the Law Society's Family Law Specialist Accreditation Advisory Committee after his appointment in 2018. Lee is the head of our Family Law Team, the largest family law practice on the Central Coast.

I've trusted this practice from the year I started my first job. Over the years, everything has been handled with the greatest attention and detail. I consider my myself one of those difficult customers most businesses have to deal with, and Paul Tonkin has never put a foot wrong.

Thanks to the team at Tonkin Drysdale Partners for making our lives a little easier at a time that we need their expertise the most, they took the time to understand our situation and explained everything to us that we were not aware of. I thoroughly recommend this expert company, they made all the difference when we needed them the most. Our interaction were mainly with Paul Quinn and Marcus Bowers, however the whole team at their Woy Woy practice were on the ball, understood our situation and helped us when we needed most.
Thank you to the entire team, we would not hesitate to engage this team

Happy to recommend TDP. I have used Tonkins for a couple of services including conveyancing and will preparation and have found them to be professional, very experienced, caring with good communication. In my dealings with Paul Quinn in particular, I was able to have matters dealt with and resolved with a minimum fuss! It's wonderful to see Paul and TDP actively supporting locals through the business networking group which I have also attended. Paul also gives to his community through his work with the Rotary Club of Umina Beach and I'm happy to send my business their way.

I have been using TDP legal services since 2016 for all my personal legal matters and business disputes, throughout this time one thing always stand out about them is their genuine intention to help by giving you the right advice which's not just cost effective but realistic. With respect to communication, understanding of the matter and professionalism hands down they are 100% spot on. I have and will continue to recommend them to my friends, colleagues and family; try them you wont be disappointed. Finally, sincere thanks to Paul, Dominic, Paula, Lauren and the entire team who helped me from

Thanks to the TDP team for their professionalism, expertise, empathy and understanding during 2020. Dealing with Nick, Moynagh, Simone, Dom and their teams was a pleasure from start to finish and I am happy to recommend TDP for advise and assistance in legal matters.

Do not use this law firm. They are sloppy and disorganized. They were unable to keep track of my father's estate - they will make all kinds of excuses and lies for their sloppy, and probably illegal behaviour. There are reputable companies out there, this is not one of them.
