Legal services for Raymond Terrace clients
Raymond Terrace is the administrative centre of Port Stephens Council and one of the Hunter Valley's fastest-growing towns. Situated on the banks of the Hunter River at its confluence with the Williams River, Raymond Terrace serves as the commercial and service hub for the Port Stephens LGA, which extends from the suburbs of the lower Hunter through to Nelson Bay and the coastal communities of Port Stephens.
Julia Clarke Solicitor provides accessible, experienced legal services to Raymond Terrace clients from our East Maitland office, which is approximately 20 minutes by car via the Pacific Highway.
