About Us

Let’s face it, laws, legal documents and “legal jargon” can seem complicated and confusing; and often when you seek legal help, you may already be feeling nervous, anxious, maybe even angry, frustrated and distressed. The last thing you need is a stressful meeting with an intimidating lawyer.

We take the opposite approach.

We love what we do, and our team is committed to being empathetic, helpful and effective. Our focus is on empowering you to make informed choices so that you really can lead the life you deserve to lead.

We do our best to ensure we don’t complicate things with long winded confusing legal speak, and work with you to achieve the best result, and without a long or nasty legal battle.

Joliman Lawyers has been helping the northern Victorian community for over 60 years, and has established deep and lasting connections with local residents and businesses through generations.
