I found Michael and his team to be highly professional and knowledgeable in a very complex legal matter presenting various options and strategies along the way that were explained fully. This was the first legal team that I had encountered that really cared about the outcome for their client as if it were their own, showed empathy, and fought every step of the way. Michael was always available after hours and on weekends as was the barrister Scott Moon to expedite timelines and optimal outcomes. I highly recommend the team at My Legal Crunch and am so grateful for their exceptional service in our time of need.

Hira Waheed
Professionalism, compassion, bravery, honesty and unbiased legal advice I received from Veronica Toth, Michael Rodrigues and Scott Moon could not be overstated or praised enough! In my scariest darkest moments I was treated with such human qualities as kindness, reassurance and was given very clear user friendly explanations of some aspects of a complicated legal matter. I felt confident sharing any relevant details without a fear of being judged, I felt 100% better after each conversation/discussion I had, I felt protected.
I would highly recommend this legal team in any legal family matters
Ekaterina Zazubina
I googled many lawyers and read all reviews as most will. I was so confused. Reading through my legal crunch lawyers review was some what different from the test. I was right, when I made my initial enquiry by phone I felt that someone was actually listening. The conversation was very professional and the solicitors was so nice and down to earth. She quoted me for the service that was required and was firm with initial verbal quotation. When I had other quotes from other firms it was extremely scary as I kept getting told the quote may Increase considerably. That was the last thing I needed.
My requested service was finalised with no hassles what so ever. Amazing how I didn’t have to call at all for any updates as i was called and updated. The fees was amazingly reasonable and no hidden increases. It was all done on line I didn’t have to even visit their office. That’s what I call professionalism. I have no hesitation what so ever to recommend this wonderful caring team. Thanks to all at my legal crunch lawyers.

FAQs
In the following menu, find answers to common questions about legal processes and what you can expect.
How does the legal process work?
The legal process can vary depending on the specific case. Usually, this involves filing documents, gathering evidence, negotiation, and, if necessary, court proceedings. Because of the complexity, our experienced lawyers Melbourne will guide you through each step and ensure your rights are protected.
What is mediation?
Mediators often facilitate communication and negotiation between parties involved in a dispute during the process of mediation. With this in mind, family law cases often use mediation to reach agreements outside of court. Our skilled mediators then assist you in resolving conflicts and finding mutually beneficial solutions.
How can I protect myself from domestic violence?
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, it is important to take immediate steps to ensure safety. Moreover, our compassionate family lawyers will then help you obtain a restraining order, provide advice on safety planning, and support you throughout the legal process.
What should I do if I'm facing criminal charges?
Once you have been charged with a criminal offense, you must straightaway seek legal representation as soon as possible. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers will then assess your case, explain your rights, and work tirelessly to build a strong defense strategy on your behalf.
What are my rights as an employee?
As an employee, you have certain rights that Australian employment law protects. Our knowledgeable employment lawyers can provide guidance on issues such as unfair dismissal, workplace discrimination, and wage disputes to ensure your rights are upheld.
