How we help in Mentone

One firm for life & business in Mentone

Whatever's brought you here — a family matter, an injury, a property deal or a business decision — we'll explain it plainly and give Mentone residents a clear next step.

Mentone is a well-established bayside suburb south of Melbourne where families and retirees often need advice on property matters, estate planning and neighbourhood disputes. Local residents and small business owners commonly seek legal help with buying or selling homes, preparing wills, managing tenancy issues, and resolving boundary or nuisance disagreements with neighbours.

Mentone's mix of older family homes and newer developments means many people encounter property complications—building disputes after renovations, title issues from older titles, or disagreements about shared fences and driveways. Before costs mount, someone facing a property conflict should gather documents like contracts, plans, photographs and any written communication, then have a lawyer review what's actually in dispute and what options exist.

Common questions

Lawyers in Mentone — FAQs

A neighbour's fence is built partly on my side of the boundary according to an old survey. What should I do first?
Start by collecting the original title documents, any recent surveys, photos of the fence and its position, and notes of when it was built if you know. Write down what has happened between you and your neighbour so far. A lawyer can then look at the title, the survey, local rules, and your communication history to work out what the real position is and what steps might suit you.

Which court would my matter go to near Mentone?
The nearest venue to Mentone is the Moorabbin Magistrates' Court, and that is where most local matters are heard. Where a matter is actually listed depends on the charge and the stage it has reached — committals and some specialist lists sit at other venues, and matters can be transferred — so we confirm the venue before any date rather than assume it. We appear in person, and for many mentions and hearings we can appear online, so you don’t have to travel or lose a day’s work.
