MJ Duffy & Son Solicitors founding principle, Michael Joseph Duffy, emigrated from Ireland to Sydney in the 1880’s as a school boy. After completing his legal studies he moved to Cobar NSW where he commenced legal practice in 1894.

In about 1920 Michael Joseph Duffy moved his practice to Dubbo. In 1930 he was joined by his son Thomas Douglas Duffy. Michael Venantius Duffy, a son of Michael Joseph Duffy later joined the firm and he opened a branch in Narromine, which continues to be serviced by the firm today.

Michael Joseph Duffy died in 1936 and the practice continued under his sons Thomas and Michael Venantius Duffy. Thomas Douglas Duffy was joined in the Dubbo office by Thomas Michael Duffy in 1956 and Peter Duffy in 1969.

In 1988 and 1998 respectively, Robert Duffy and Stephen Duffy, sons of Thomas Michael Duffy joined the practice and are now partners in the firm, the fourth generation of the Duffy family to serve the legal needs of Dubbo and western New South Wales.

Peter Duffy retired from the Partnership in June 2011 after 42 years’ service as the Senior Managing Partner of the firm. Robert Duffy retired from the Partnership in June 2017.

In addition to the Duffy lineage, Mr Peter Poulton joined the firm in 1973 and retired in 2006 after 33 years’ service as a Partner and Rob Elliott joined the firm in 2012 as a lawyer and became Partner in 2014.

In 2016 MJ Duffy & Son Solicitors were re-branded as Duffy Elliott Lawyers. The change reflected the growth of the firm and the addition of Rob Elliott as partner.
