Melville, Orton & Lewis

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Melville Orton & Lewis, Ingrid made me feel calm and relaxed the whole time and was so easy to deal with. She was always reliable, on time and very efficient. If I was to ever need a lawyer again I would certainly use Ingrid and Melville Orton & Lewis

I highly recommend Miss Jessica Dowdy & the team at Melville, Orton & Lewis, for any Family Law &/or Child Protection matters. Jessica displayed extreme professionalism, expert knowledge & care whilst representing myself over a 4 year period. During this time, it was brought to my attention on more than one occasion, & understandably so, that Jessica has a reputation amongst her peers & members of the public (both applicant & respondent), as being the most formidable opponent in court rooms across South West & Central Victoria.So before you are beaten to the best, do not hesitate to contact Jessica Dowdy & the team at Melville, Orton & Lewis.

My husband and I engaged Natalie as our conveyancer and can highly recommend her services. She’s polite, friendly, and patient with all the questions you’ll inevitably need to ask when buying a home. And the team will store a copy of your title in their vault for free. How’s that for service!I have to admit, the first time I called to ask for a quote, I nearly decided to skip straight to the next firm on my list because the receptionist… well, let’s just say her customer service skills were lacking. But I needed a conveyancer quickly and this firm had the best reviews, so I stayed on the line and I’m so glad I did.I have no hesitation in recommending Natalie for property conveyancing.

I was lucky enough to be recommended Jessica Dowdy during a very stressful family law matter. I was at a stale mate with a different solicitor who was more interested in a property claim and not in getting some sort of parenting plans in place. Jessica was not only professional and straight to the point, she calmed my nerves and was able to empathise with the situation and give not only educated replies, but made the whole experience personal.Highly recommend not only Jessica Dowdy, but the whole team at Melville, Orton and Lewis.

DO NOT USE THESE LAWYERS! Absolutely the most unprofessional and lazy people in law in Victoria! They will hold your money! I have been lied to trying to finalise a will. It’s taken over 2 years to process the most basic estate. These people will cause you more stress than the actual death of a family member, also they have absolutely no empathy or compassion towards you or your family. They see death as $$$.

The service i received from Natalie Bawden of M.O.L. with the conveyancing of my property was nothing short of first class. What could have been a stressful time was completely negated by Nat’s bubbly and helpful service. Thanks Nat, you made this experience a good one, and I would have no hesitation recommending you to anyone!

They are very professional and gave spot on info and wiped me make the rite divisions and did every thing they cald to get what I wanted across. I don't know how I wald have got where I have with our them thank yous

Absolutely the best divorce lawyers in town. I highly recommend Jessica Dowdy, especially if you are going through a high conflict Family law case. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and auspicious, I could not have chosen better.

Jessica was recommended to me as a Solicitor. Found her very helpful and thanks to her we achieved a very positive outcome for my court hearing. Would have no hesitation in recommending her

After being recommended Melville, Orton & Lewis by my family, I received legal aid from Michael Fuller. He was a huge help, very polite and I'm glad I got to meet him. He helped me resolve a dispute I was in which ended with a positive outcome and now I can move forward. I'd definitely recommend Michael to anyone seeking legal aid :)
