Maeve O'Brien has been practising as a lawyer for over 35 years and the practice has been operating in Melbourne's Inner East for over 80 years. Our staff come from all walks of life and each member bring individual skills and knowledge to our hand picked team. Each and every one of our clients are important to us. We pride ourselves on providing to our clients with a direct, supportive and outcome focused service. Families, their relationships and their ongoing welfare are at the forefront of what we do. Our lawyers are problem solvers. With specialised collaborative training and a passion for people, we pride ourselves on reaching sustainable long term outcomes for the benefit of our client and their families. Where possible we use alternate dispute resolution processes and avoid court proceedings. We understand that costs are a concern to every client, and so they should be. We work with each and every one of our clients to ensure that all costs incurred are appropriate and necessary. It is not our practice to incur unnecessary fees.
