I have worked as a journalist at SBS and the Greek radio

station 3xy Radio Hellas in Melbourne for many years until recently.

I have also worked in the legal and medical sector for over 35 years, as a NAATI Level 3

Interpreter and I have seen many cases and scenarios with people involved in litigation,

which has been a difficult journey to them, with sentiments of stress, agony and many a

times with great sadness.

I have witnessed situations of how the lay person is struggling to find their justice and

closure in incomprehensible processes within the legal world.

Evolving within these medico- legal and media circles, I have witnessed and have come

across people who had expressed their appreciation and gratitude for litigation handled

by Law firms which have stood out for all the right reasons.

I chose one which was continuously respected and praised by so many: VELOS &

VELOS LAWYERS has been around, for over 40 years, delivering affordable legal

representation in many legal areas to their valued clients and community.

I, personally, would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to Mr. John Velos

Master of Laws, who has recently provided me with excellent legal pro bono advice in a

situation where I needed to sought some valuable advice on how to proceed in a very

complicated family case.

As I had heard from many people who had previously used the services of Mr. John

Velos, I also experienced his expertise, integrity, excellence and kindness whilst

listening and understanding the complexity of my circumstances. He was intuitive,

reading between the lines, and enlightening with an  amazing analysis of my case.

He never looked at the time but only focused on how to give me the answers, so as to be

fulfilled at the end of the session and to be clear, in what path I should chose for my own

benefit.

I highly recommend his firm Velos & Velos Lawyers for he is the person who has this

light filled with professionalism and kindness combined so as to advise and assist his

clients to pursue the best path for their concerns when choosing to be legally

represented and advised.

May I stress with great confidence that when one feels the need to get legal advice, one

should consider to meet with Mr. John Velos who is always giving his time and

professional expertise generously.

Kind Regards

Re: VCAT Guardianship Case

We would like to thank John Velos for his professionalism, expertise, experience and his friendly disposition. We had a Case with VCAT about guardianship of our mother and power of attorney. Our mother had advanced dementia, living alone and unsupported with nil services in place, with Financial powers of attorney’s in place.  We had attended 3 hearings online and were not getting anywhere. We raised concerns about our mothers safety, multiple emails to VCAT and they didn’t listen to our (her childrens) concerns.

We made an appointment with John and he took us through the process and how to proceed. John instantly made us feel heard, comfortable and we could relate to him. He understood the importance of family and how we had the best interests of our mother at heart. John was easy to converse with and instantly we felt at ease.

After John’s guidance and instructions on what he needed for the VCAT case, John Velos represented us at VCAT with a Barrister Elizabeth King. Elizabeth and John were exceptional and helped us tremendously.

 John was always very welcoming and clear on the legal process. This was such a relief for us as we had never been involved with VCAT before. With the help of Velos and Velos Lawyers and all staff we won the VCAT case and were appointed Guardianship.  Finally VCAT had to take us seriously and we were able to put our mother into appropriate care with her best interests at heart.

We could not recommend John Velos enough, his care, commitment, professionalism and experience were outstanding. The result speaks for itself and his staff were great also. Look no further than Velos and Velos for legal representation.

Kind regards

We engaged Mr John Velos and his team with an issue where my wife, Wendy Lam and I were wronged by our wedding reception. John and his legal team were genuinely sympathetic about our situation and fought for us with real compassion.

Mr Velos and his team sat us down to inform us of each proceeding in detail and explained all the outcomes that may come out of it. They were very transparent and detailed throughout the whole process. In an environment that my wife and I were not used to, John Velos and Bo Zhou made us feel comfortable and safe. They made sure we understood every step of the way. (more…)
