Our family lawyers in Melbourne don’t just provide an empathetic ear and tell you about your options; they can also represent you during mediation sessions and in a court of law if it comes to it. We try to avoid getting the case brought to court to reduce the high costs and stress on all parties involved.

Choosing the right family lawyer is essential, especially as the stakes are so high and the outcome can have a huge effect on your future and that of your loved ones. When looking for legal advice and representation for your family, consider aspects including:

How reputable the firm and its legal team are. Speak with friends, family, and associates to get recommendations if possible. If someone you know has experience working with a lawyer, it’s a lot easier to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with them or look elsewhere. If a word-of-mouth recommendation is hard to come by, why not look at firms that aren’t afraid to give some free insights and impart some complimentary legal knowledge on family law via their website? It’s easier to put your faith in a lawyer if they are able to provide evidence that they know what they’re doing and that they care about their job. Check out our insights for easy-to-access advice.
If the lawyer makes plans ahead of time or leaves things until the last minute. Usually, your case will hinge on the submission of important documents and evidence for judicial consideration, but most of all, you’ll be wanting a resolution in a fast and timely manner to avoid putting unnecessary stress on yourself and your loved ones. Ask for a meeting in person with your prospective legal team and ask them for details on their approach to planning and meeting deadlines. Trust your gut; if something feels off, it most likely is. At Velocity Legal, we always ensure that we have your best interests at heart, and we will never let our clients down with poor planning processes. It’s in our interests to resolve your dispute as quickly as possible.
Are they an expert in family law matters, or are they a Jack of all trades? A person who claims to be a master of everything is usually a master of none, as they say. Family lawyers regularly undertake professional development courses and training related to disputes involving children, divorcees, domestic violence, and so on. General practitioners might have to look further for the information on the job, and you’ll most likely be left to foot the bill for the time they spend researching your options. At Velocity Legal you’ll have access to experts who specialise in family law. They don’t just do everything on their own, though. They are welcome to discuss ideas and get inspired by other specialists in the area of family law or otherwise in order to get the best outcome for clients. That way you get the best of both worlds!
