Our Services
Child Protection & Children’s Court
With more than 25 years of practice in the Children’s Court behind us, our child protection lawyers in Sale work to protect the best interests of children at every stage of a case. As children’s court lawyers in Sale, we set out what each listing involves, how the Department is likely to put its case, and where your own position carries the most weight, so that very little about the process comes as a surprise.
Intervention Orders
Our intervention order lawyers in Sale act for people on either side of these applications. If you are seeking protection from family violence, we help you make the application and put what has happened before the court clearly. If an order has been sought against you, we make sure your account is heard and your rights are protected, with steady guidance at each hearing. As a family violence lawyer in Sale, we take care over what these proceedings mean for everyone involved.
Legal Aid
Access to justice should never depend on what you can afford. As legal aid family lawyers in Sale, we can assess your eligibility and lodge applications directly through our Victoria Legal Aid portal, so that eligible clients receive support without waiting any longer than they have to.
Aboriginal Representation
We proudly support Aboriginal clients in Sale, recognising the deep cultural ties to land, family, and community. Our team has completed Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Training through the Koori Heritage Trust and is committed to respectful, inclusive representation. We work to ensure Indigenous children remain connected to their culture and regularly receive referrals from the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service and other community organisations.
Our Commitment
Everything we do at TP Legal & Associates is shaped by advocacy, respect, and family. We are devoted to protecting the rights of children, parents, and carers, and wherever the law makes it possible, we work to keep families together and connected.
Decades of work in this jurisdiction mean we know how these courts operate, and we use that knowledge to help every client reach the best outcome available to them, whatever their background or circumstances.
Our Fees
Legal costs can add to the pressure of a period that is already difficult. Where a client is facing genuine financial hardship, we are willing to discuss fair and reasonable fees that take their circumstances into account.
