Not long ago, one of our clients, a mum from Preston, walked into our office holding a pile of legal papers and a coffee she hadn’t had time to drink. “I don’t even know where to start,” she said. That’s why we’re here. At Shamac Lawyers, we believe the law should help people, not confuse them. Whether you’re buying your first home, going through a tough divorce, sorting out family issues, or dealing with criminal charges, you deserve to know what’s happening every step of the way. We help people all over Melbourne: from the CBD to Brunswick, from the Yarra Valley to St Kilda. You don’t have to face the legal world alone. We’ll walk with you.

Conveyancer: Getting You Home
Buying or selling a home in Melbourne can feel like a rollercoaster. Contracts. Deadlines. Banks. We get it.
Our conveyancing services have helped people in suburbs like Coburg, Reservoir, and Fitzroy navigate this process smoothly. Whether it’s a tiny flat or your dream family home, we handle the paperwork so you can focus on the move. We also offer contract reviews to make sure your interests are protected.
Legal Services: Clear Advice, No Legal Jargon
Sometimes you just need answers. Should I sign this contract? How do I protect my assets? What happens if my business partner leaves?
We provide clear legal advice across a wide range of services. Small business owners in South Melbourne, first-home buyers in Footscray, and retirees in Ivanhoe trust us to give them straight talk and real options. Learn more about our court appearance lawyers here.
Divorce Lawyer: Helping You Through the Tough Days
Divorce can feel like standing in a storm. Emotions run high. Choices are hard. The future looks blurry.
We’ve stood beside many people during this time — women, men, parents — helping them protect their rights and rebuild their lives. Learn more about our divorce lawyer services here.
Mediation Service: Finding Solutions Together
Court isn’t always the answer. Mediation services can help families or businesses reach fair agreements — without the stress and cost of a courtroom.
