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
