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

Re:         Velos & Velos Lawyers

Mr John Velos

Recently I required the services of a lawyer to write a new Will for me.  I had an initial consultation with Mr John Velos to discuss my needs with regards to a rather complex will involving personal property and Company issues.

Mr Velos took the time to listen then reply with that legalities we needed to deal with to ensure my assets and companies were correctly covered in the event of my passing.  Mr Velos displayed a level of professionalism rarely seen in this modern day and age.  Information was supplied and thoroughly explained and relevant documentation drawn up and executed promptly.

I have no hesitation in referring and recommending Mr Velos and his firm for any legal requirements.

Re:  Testimonial on Civil Matter.

I have been living on the ground floor, in a block of units, for 1 year now. On several occasions, the neighbours from upstairs discarded a barrage of contaminated water and debris over the common area veranda walkway, landing into my front courtyard and causing damage, as well as in my accompanying neighbours’ front courtyards too.

I contacted the owner’s corporation director, and she treated it as if it was insignificant, she just gave me excuses. This distressed me.

I called the police, but they said it was a civil matter requiring going through VCAT and they were unable to help me.

I also called a local lawyer’s firm, but they did not offer me any assistance.

No one was helping me. Very distressed by now, I decided to contact Velos and Velos Lawyers.

John Velos of Velos and Velos Lawyers supported me straight away. John listened to me and was very compassionate to my situation. He patiently watched my video evidence and agreed it was inappropriate behaviour from the neighbours and agreed that the director did not take my complaint seriously enough.

John immediately sent correspondence to the director of the owner’s corporation and to the neighbours involved, on my behalf.

Through the help of John’s correspondence, the owner’s corporation started to take my complaint seriously. With the guidance and support of John I submitted a formal complaint form to the owner’s corporation and sent photo evidence.

John liaised with the owner’s corporation, on my behalf, because I found the director too difficult to deal with. As a result, the owners corporation held a grievance meeting straight away, with the committee members. The matter was promptly resolved, with the owner’s corporation sending correspondence to all lot owners stating that this behaviour was totally unacceptable and in breach of the owner’s corporation rules.

John advised me and guided me throughout this very distressing time. He was always there for me, every time I contacted him, he was very prompt, accommodating, and professional. I am very pleased with John and all staff members at Velos and Velos Lawyers.

I highly recommend John Velos of Velos and Velos Lawyers for anyone wishing to take on civil matters like this one. John also offered me assistance if I have any more problems with the director of the owner’s corporation or neighbours in the future.

Kind Regards

John

 

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude.

be kind, but not weak;

Be bold, but not a bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy;

be humble, but not timid;

Be proud, but not arrogant; have humour, but without folly.

 

It is my observation: you lead the way by personal example and by personal philosophy.

I admire the manner in which you represent your profession and deliver advice.
