It is hard enough to ensure that justice according to the law is generally available; it is unacceptable that the privileges of legal representation should be available only according to the predilections of counsel or only on the payment of extravagant fees. We have established a reputation as a leading legal services provider in Melbourne to clients in commercial law, family law and wills and estate planning.
We work primarily with small to medium size Australian enterprises for their daily transactional needs as well as more complex legal issues. We also assist individuals going through family breakdown with divorces, annulments, property settlements and most importantly, children's issues. We pride ourselves on providing comprehensive advice about your legal rights, entitlements and obligations in a cost-effective manner.

Develop a solid understanding of the client's business whilst exercising empathy, confidentiality and unfettered commitment to the client's best interests. Exercise foresight and diligence to provide innovative solutions that achieve optimal results whilst balancing the relevant financial considerations.
Most of our clients require advice on retail leases, including office space, store fronts and shopping centre venues. A lease is a written agreement setting out a relationship between the landlord and tenant in respect of the occupation and use of the landlord's property. Retail leases in Victoria must operate for a minimum of five (5) years; therefore, careful planning and research must be conducted.
Purchasing a business involves much risk; therefore, proper evaluation and consideration of a myriad of factors are imperative. Prior to committing yourself to purchase a business, it is important that you have the right skills and information to make an informed decision. Due diligence must be conducted beforehand to avoid costly financial mistakes.
Cash-flow issues can be critical to the survival of your business. The legal system provides for various mechanisms to recover monies owed to you and the course of action you should take depends entirely upon the individual circumstances surrounding your case. When dealing with a debtor company, always obtain director's guarantees beforehand.
When determining whether a child should be allowed to relocate to another State/country, the Court must consider whether it is "reasonably practicable" for the child to be able to spend equal time or significant time with the non-custodial parent. Convincing a Court to allow you to relocate is often difficult if the other parent has been actively involved in the child's life prior to and since separation.

The Law Institute of Victoria referred me to Sandy Rizkallah at Amicus Lawyers. My Will was prepared with minimum fuss. The appointment was made suitable to my needs at their Niddrie office. General advice was given in addition to the Will avoiding the inconvenience of making another appointment.
I have dealt with many solicitors none of whom showed the ability to assess my needs in an instant at a reasonable cost. I would not hesitate to recommend Sandy Rizkallah to any individual or company seeking a solicitor with outstanding analytical skills to resolve any legal matter.

Engaging the services of a legal firm is generally associated with some form of crisis. My situation was personal and emotionally challenging. Sandy ensured that I felt heard and valued throughout our legal journey. Sandy’s ongoing professional and emotional support ensured the experience was not too prickly. If you are looking for a team that will fight your corner and ensure that any potential blows are addressed or mitigated, then I would highly recommend that you engage the services of this highly professional and ethical practice.

I was the client of Sandy in her previous employ. She has, given the information, a piercing insight into the situation, and salient advice. Her care for her clients goes beyond reasonably expected. When I found out she had left the organisation at which I had originally chosen her as my lawyer, I was rocked. I then sought her advice at Amicuslaw and whilst she was not able to represent me, her advice was invaluable.

Extremely grateful for the service, as this was our families first time dealing with the legal system we did not know what to do or what to expect. Our fears were immediately put to rest as soon as we met Adam. His excellent advice is invaluable, our case was hard to deal with but with Adams expertise and empathy we knew we were in good hands, he left no stone unturned. Adam, was highly recommended to us and is definitely a lawyer I highly recommend. He is clear and concise with details and made sure we came to decisions together. A very active legal representative, professional at all times indeed

Lawyer, Adam Akbulut, of Amicus Lawyers, is not only a quality legal professional, but a quality person of admirable and strong character who strives not only for justice for his clients, but goes beyond the call of duty at times of dire need, to ensure the interests of the public good is duly preserved.
My first hand experience with Adam, having almost lost total faith as to whether justice truly exists, and my disillusionment as to character traits of many in the judicial and enforcement systems, Adam was a breath of fresh air for reassurance that decency as the core of those operating within
