Principal
Penny McCreery
Meet our Principal, Penny McCreery, who embarked on her legal journey in 2000, starting as a legal secretary and conveyancing clerk. Over the years, she honed her expertise by working with major banks in mortgage conveyancing.
​
Penny's dedication to her legal career led her to complete her Bachelor of Laws at USQ and her Post Graduate Certificate in Legal Practice at QUT in 2016. In 2017, she was admitted as a solicitor in the Supreme Court.
​
Penny's legal journey took her to regional areas such as Maryborough, Childers, and Bundaberg, where she tackled a diverse range of legal matters, including property law, criminal law, business sales and purchases, family law, and wills and estates.
​
In 2019, Penny made the move to Brisbane, briefly delving into criminal law again before joining Lember & Williams (now Horizon Legal Group) in 2020. Her commitment to the firm led her to acquire the business in 2022, solidifying her role as a leading legal professional.
​
Today, Penny primarily focuses on assisting clients with their Property law matters and Estate planning requirements. She supervises our conveyancing department, whilst also assisting clients with their succession planning requirements including Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorneys, and company and Family Trust succession arrangements. Her background in deceased estates, commercial and property matters ensures that she is well placed to provide comprehensive estate planning solutions for clients from all walks of life.
Associate
Belinda Molnar
Originally hailing from Sydney, Belinda embarked on her legal journey, graduating from the University of Western Sydney in 2010 and earning her admission to practice in 2011. Her legal career in Sydney spanned several years, where she gained invaluable experience across various practice areas, including family law, wills, estate administration, probate, and estate litigation.
In 2020, Belinda made the move to Queensland, where she found her professional home at Lember & Williams (now Horizon Legal Group). Her practice now exclusively revolves around Wills and Estate Administration, an area she is truly passionate about. Belinda takes pride in providing her clients with practical advice and a down-to-earth approach. Her exceptional knowledge and unwavering attention to detail ensure that estates are administered efficiently and with the utmost diligence.

Upon her return to the Coast, Elisabeth gained experience in the areas of Wills and Estates and Family Law before finding her place in Civil Litigation and Disputes in 2021 as a Law Graduate.
Elisabeth joined the team at Horizon Legal Group in October 2023 and heads up the Estate Litigation and Civil Disputes division.
