Velos Family Lawyers

Working with John Velos and his team has meant that much of this stress has been lessened and that whilst my files have been in his capable hands, I have been able to spend more of my focus on my children (who require much supervision and care) and my health which is of great concern.

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…)

I engaged Mr. Velos under extremely difficult circumstances where I had civil litigation action taken against me, though I was innocent of the allegations. I had only a few days left before the 21 days for a defence was to expire. Mr. Velos and his team understood the matter in a compassionate and timely manner and were able to engage an expert barrister to formulate and submit a rigorous defense for the matter with very few days left. read more

I experienced John’s exceptional academic and personal skills. His professionalism is admirable and most importantly, John is a Lawyer that you can call and expect to speak to or receive a call back on the same day.

John’s in-depth knowledge and experience within Bankruptcy matters increased the overall outcome of my settlement between the Trustee and myself.

John is an excellent negotiator. He dealt with a Trustee where the matter was previously very badly damaged; I thought all hope was gone. My husband was declared bankrupt in 2014. It was the messiest of all bankruptcies – the business was a partnership and the other Director’s wife was the Administration Manager/Bookkeeper and so on. I knew nothing. (more…)

My son engaged John Velos Lawyers in 2017.

He had been charged by Victorian Police with some very serious allegations which I believe affected him to the point where he was unable to process the consequences to be able to make good choices or decisions. Except of course, for finding Velos & Velos Lawyers…how my son managed this is a miracle in itself!

It has been an extremely difficult time for our son and I cannot stress how much I have appreciated John’s years of professional wisdom and counsel. I reside in Perth which added to the despair and distress.

During these high emotional times in your life you must be protected by a “legal eagle” who has empathy, compassion, understanding and great intellect. John has all these virtues and many more…he has great insight and the ability to see the whole picture. John offered direction and guidance which transcended an untenable situation. (more…)
