Statement from Paul Tonkin

It is my extremely sad duty to advise that our partner, friend and colleague, Paul Quinn, has passed away.

Paul was unable to recover from a catastrophic brain bleed last Friday.
He was certainly admired here in our office as a man of loyalty, strength and character and I know this view was acknowledged more broadly amongst our clients and professional colleagues.

Through his commitment to his faith, his community, Rotary, his Board roles in the not-for-profit sector, and his church, Paul lived out his desire to give.

His wife, Corina, and his young children, Monique and Jaxon, have been dealt a terrible blow and will take the next steps in the days, weeks and months ahead without their torch bearer.

Our staff and partners are heartbroken for them and for Paul. At 57 years of age, he was much too young.

Thank you to all those who have already reached out. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Paul always showed himself to be a lawyer of genuine warmth, professional skill and commitment. We will miss our partner and friend.

Back in the 1960s, Woy Woy looked a little different, fewer buildings, fewer cars and a much smaller legal practice.

But one thing hasn’t changed. Even then we were deeply connected to our community. Alongside providing legal advice from a one-man office, the firm was actively involved in local community fundraising drives that brought people together and supported families.

It was also the start of something lasting, a long-standing relationship with the local Surf Life Saving Club, reflecting a shared commitment to looking after the Central Coast community both on and off the water.

Fast forward to today and Tonkin Drysdale Partners has grown into a team of 35+ legal professionals, but those same values still guide the firm: community first, people-focused and proudly local since 1958.

Six decades on, the tools have changed, the team has grown, and the world looks very different, but our commitment hasn’t shifted.

If you need legal advice you can trust, why not call Tonkin Drysdale Partners on 02 4341 2355, or book your free 15-minute case call at tdplegal.com.au.
