Who We Are

Wollerman Shacklock Lawyers is led by Principal Solicitor Patricia Sheedy, or Trish, as family, friends, colleagues and clients know her. Trish is one of few Accredited Property Law Specialists in Victoria! Click here to find out what this means!

Trish was not born into the legal world. In fact, Trish was raised on a fruit orchard amongst her large family. Whilst this childhood was much different to those in the industry who typically grew up with parents with white collar jobs, Trish’s childhood was rich with those things that she believes truly matter in life – love, respect, equality and integrity.

Trish had a desire at a young age. A desire to become a lawyer. But not just any lawyer. A lawyer who is real, who doesn’t pretend to be someone they are not. A lawyer who practices with her core values and beliefs of equality, respect and integrity. Trish set her goal to be the voice for others, a voice that displays these core values of equality, respect and integrity.

Trish’s journey in life has been far from easy. She has faced many obstacles and challenges in her life which she used to fuel her desire and passion to do what she does today. Trish’s journey into law began at a mature age, and from there she worked hard to find her way in the industry.  After years of experience in the industry, Trish made the decision that she no longer wanted to work for firms that did not foster her core values and beliefs and set out to find somewhere she could work her own way. In 2015, she found Wollerman Shacklock looking for someone new to take over the firm. The rest is history!

You can be assured that when you come to Wollerman Shacklock, you are not treated as another person, or another number. Trish values each and every client that walks through the door as she appreciates that everybody, like her, has a story to tell. Trish has instilled her core values of equality, respect and integrity, in all of the staff at Wollerman Shacklock, so you can only expect to get that real person experience.

Our Vision and Mission

Our vision is to be the firm that clients know and trust and the firm that exceeds expectations in a professional, down to earth manner. We strive to be the voice for our clients, the voice that is known and trusted, that delivers what is promised and that listens to our clients to achieve the best results for them and to advocate for them.

Lawyers are real people too, and our aim is to provide you with a real person service – not a “take a number” attitude, by providing a person-to-person service to our clients. Our approach is personal and we take time to know and understand our clients. We promise to tell you how it is and not what you may want to hear. In that way we provide value to our clients and our clients get true value from our services. We can do this, all the time, “keeping it real”.

Our values of equality, respect and integrity are at the forefront of all our work. Our main objective is seeing the right outcomes for our clients. Our lawyers take the time to sit down with you and find out what it is you want to achieve and provide you with the know how to achieve that outcome.
