Thomas Binetter

Thomas Binetter is passionate about Elder law and Estate Planning, having witnessed first hand the consequences that inadequate Wills, Estates and Trusts have on families, loved ones and legacies for generations to come.  Thomas has built on those personal experiences to enrich his appreciation for the personal nature of Succession Planning, the people that shape each strategic decision and the reward that comes from ensuring that your legacy is protected.

Thomas brings with him a variety of experiences in the law, and having practiced in both litigation and transactional work, knows the value of protecting your interests now so as to avoid costly litigation in the future.

Beginning in 2012 Thomas has worked in the law offices of Breene & Breene Solicitors, Hollander & Hollander and Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell, practicing as an attorney in a range of areas including Estate Planning, Estate and Trust Litigation, Probate, Civil Litigation, Real Property and Commercial Leasing.

Thomas now practices in Wills & Estates law exclusively, advising clients from all walks of life on the value that having the right testamentary and wealth transfer documentation has for their families, businesses and future generations to come.

Outside of the law, Thomas is an established musician, playing electric guitar for over 20 years in a variety of heavy metal bands including the 3x Australian Grammy-nominated post-rock juggernaut ‘sleepmakeswaves’.  Thomas is also a fervent scotch whisky enthusiast and avid world traveler having visited 39 countries with an ultimate goal of reaching 100 in his lifetime.
