Susan Abbott : Principal of Lempriere Abbott Legal

I graduated from Adelaide University in 1990 and for the next decade worked as a solicitor and barrister at Caldicott & Co, a busy criminal and general law firm and then in my own city practice. For the following 10 years my husband and I explored this beautiful country and set about the business of raising 3 boys.

 

We eventually returned to South Australia and settled in magical Port Willunga 16 years ago and plan to never leave. During that time, I  have been commuting to the city most days to work as a partner of the well-respected general law firm, D’Angelo Lawyers, in Millswood.

 

Essentially, I have become tired of the travelling and want to spend more time where I live in the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula. It is a rapidly growing community that I believe will benefit from another experienced lawyer available to assist where needed.

 

I am approaching 3 decades of experience in the main areas of Wills & Estates, Family law and common law Personal Injury claims, both with informal settlements and in litigation. I also receive assignments from the Commissioner for Victims’ Rights to represent victims of serious crimes (and their families) in certain cases.

 

Now that I am working as a sole practitioner from a studio office, I am able to keep my overheads streamlined and pass the benefits of that to my clients with an hourly rate that is lower than most.  I will be limiting client numbers to my personal capacity so that all my clients will receive my focussed and prompt attention plus my usual honest, practical advice and fearless advocacy.

About Susan Abbott

Who, what and why is Lempriere Abbott Legal?

 

It’s me,  Susan “Lem-Pree-Air” Abbott. I am near the end of a long line of “Lempriere Abbotts” in the Law in South Australia.

 

My grandfather, Charles Arthur Hillas Lempriere Abbott QC, was the Attorney General of SA between 1944 and 1946 and then a Justice of the Supreme Court Justice 1959.

 

My late father, Derek Athol Lempriere Abbott and his elder brother, Charles Anthony Lempriere Abbott were 2 of the founding partners of the well respected city firm, Lempriere Abbott McLeod, which operated for over 50 years until 2021.

 

My older brother, Hugh Anthony Lempriere Abbott, is a Senior Counsel at the SA Bar and my younger cousin, Charles Samuel Lempriere Abbott, is a Kings Counsel.

 

My older brother, Charles Lempriere Abbott, is a criminal law barrister and solicitor in Sydney.

 

So either we Lempriere Abbotts lack imagination or we have the law in our blood. In my case I suspect it’s abit of both!
