Shamac Lawyers is proud to serve the Pakenham community with a full range of legal services. Our experienced team provides support in family law, criminal law, conveyancing, civil disputes, deceased estates, intervention orders, and mediation. We are committed to delivering practical advice and strong representation for individuals and families in Pakenham.
In Pakenham, daily life revolves around Lakeside and Cardinia Cultural Centre, with families enjoying access to Station. We match that practical outlook with friendly, plain‑English guidance when issues arise.
If your matter lists at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, we’ll brief you ahead of time, attend promptly and explain each step so there are no surprises. Phone and video consults are available if getting to us is tricky.
From Lakeside to new estates around the Cardinia corridor, we structure advice around work hours and V/Line commutes — with phone or video if that’s easier.
Everyday disputes can interrupt life and work. We guide Pakenham clients through contracts, debts and small claims with clear steps and timelines, with many matters heard at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court.
Growth‑area conveyancing is our bread and butter — house‑and‑land contracts, building covenants, easements and plan‑of‑subdivision checks. We keep developer timelines and finance conditions on track.
Court days are stressful. We organise filings and appearances at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, explain the order of events, and stand with Pakenham clients throughout.
Facing charges? We provide urgent advice, bail applications and defence strategies for Pakenham residents, with fast attendance at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court.
We support executors and beneficiaries in Pakenham — obtaining probate or letters of administration, distributing assets and addressing any challenges with care.
Our family law team supports Pakenham clients with parenting plans, consent orders and property settlements, focusing on clarity and stability for children.
For Family Violence and Personal Safety Intervention Orders, we help Pakenham applicants and respondents prepare evidence and appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on short notice.

Posted on Vanessa LohTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shane at Shamac Lawyers was incredibly helpful with navigating a difficult family separation. His sensitivity to the situation, professional advice helped alleviate concerns on how to best move forward. Highly recommended. Delivered on genuine care, consideration and professionalism. Thank you.Posted on Louisa FrisbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went through an extremely difficult court process with regards to an IVO matter. No one wanted to listen to me. After calling Shane for advice, I felt in a much better state to have the duty lawyers and the judge, listen. It was great advice, coupled with a lawyer friend of Shane’s, able to assist the respondent too. Got a great outcome all round. Shane’s knowledge and experience is second to none. He is also extremely warm and kind too. Thanks so much again!Posted on amber xiaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
