Our Services
Conveyancing & Property Law
Buying or selling property in South Australia? We handle the contracts, searches, settlements, and all the tedious bits between "yes, we'll buy it" and "here are your keys." We catch the problems before they cost you money, and we make sure you actually understand what you're signing.
Wills, Probate & Estates
Getting your affairs sorted isn't fun dinner conversation, but it's one of those things you'll be glad you did. We help you document your wishes properly so your family isn't left guessing or fighting. We ask the questions you haven't thought of, cover the scenarios you didn't consider, and make sure it's all legally sound.
Powers of Attorney
Planning for a time when you might not be able to make decisions sounds grim, but it's actually one of the smartest things you can do. We help you set up powers of attorney and advance care directives that give the right people the right authority, and we make sure you understand exactly what you are putting in place.
Discretionary & Family Trusts
Trusts are not just for the wealthy. They are a way of protecting assets, managing succession, and structuring things properly. Be it a family trust or a discretionary trust in Australia, we set them up properly, usually in consultation with your accountant. Plus we explain how they work without drowning you in accounting speak.
Legal Aid Criminal Lawyer
Criminal charges are not limited to a court file. They touch your work, your family and your peace of mind. At Andrew B Thiele & Co, the focus is on clear advice and steady support, not just legal showmanship. You speak directly with a criminal lawyer who practises in South Australia every day and understands how these matters actually run in court, so when you look for criminal lawyers near me you are dealing with someone local and experienced.
