Amelia Liapis represented me at a diversion application hearing. She was really easy to get along with and educated me on the process. She made it all really easy, and we got a good outcome in the end.
I cant recommend this firm enough! I had the pleasure to be working with Alex and
Amelia, both put in so much effort and time going above and beyond, to help me in this stressful situation I was in legally. Their hard work and care paid off and I got an outcome in the matter that was better than I could ever have expected.
Im forever grateful, both of them have made a huge impact delivering the best possible outcome. Thank you for everything.
It’s been a great experience dealing with Galbally Lawyers. During a stressful 12 months of uncertainty, the team made the process much more comfortable and were always there when I needed help or had questions.
Karla, Ruth and Amelia were all wonderful to deal with throughout the process.
A special thank you to Amelia for being incredibly professional, caring and calm at all times. Her reassuring manner and friendly smile made a real difference during a difficult time.
I am extremely grateful for the support and representation I received from Galbally Parker during a very difficult and stressful period.
Throughout the matter, Amelia, Natasha and Alex were professional, knowledgeable and clear in their advice and representation. They took the time to explain the legal process and my options, while remaining practical and focused on achieving the best possible outcome.
I particularly appreciated the way the team handled a sensitive and complex matter. Communication was prompt and considered, and I always felt well prepared for each stage of the process. They provided reassurance when appropriate while still giving me realistic and straightforward advice about the legal issues and potential outcomes.
The matter ultimately resolved very favourably, and I am appreciative of the work Amelia, Natasha, Alex and the wider Galbally Parker team put into achieving that result.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Galbally Parker to someone requiring experienced, professional and thoughtful legal representation.
Amelia has been fantastic to deal with along the case, professional, and communication has always been prompt.
The case resulted in a fantastic positive outcome.
My first time going to court was really daunting, however, from the first meeting with Amelia to court date with Alex was very accommodating. They explained the concepts simply and made sure that next steps were very clear to me.
Through being well prepared, they were able to provide me with the best possible outcome for my case, which I’m really happy and grateful for.
I was impressed by how Alex professionally handled my case. He took the time to explain all the documents , prepared me for my interview and was very prompt to reply to my numerous questions throughout. His excellent communication skills and great legal advice got me a successful outcome! Really appreciate the great work ! Thank you.
I cannot recommend Natasha highly enough for her help with a traumatic incident involving our local council and my client’s dog. Natasha was incredibly respectful and sensitive to my client’s background, taking the time to genuinely listen to every concern without rushing or minimising what had happened. Importantly, Natasha also brought real practical experience, explaining what mattered most and helping us navigate a complicated charge and situation with clear focus and confidence in court.
Because of Natasha, the process was fast and the outcome was positive, and my client left feeling heard, supported, and better able to move forward. With legal aid becoming increasingly difficult for vulnerable people, it’s clear that if Natasha hadn’t stepped in and done what she did, my client and their situation could have spiralled negatively, leading to huge mental health and financial implications. Overall, her professionalism, empathy, and courtroom experience gave my client the care, clarity, and advocacy they deserved.
The compassion, kidness and understanding shown by Natasha and the team at Galbally Parker, along with the service they provided was well beyond my expectations. As someone with neurodivergence and trauma, I always felt Natasha was listening to what I wanted to acheive in the court process, and advocated for exactly that. Her organisation and expertise resulted in the best outcome I could have hoped for.
I came to Galbally Parker after making one of the biggest and most honest mistakes of my life. I was really scared about what I had done, but when I spoke to the lawyers, they were honest, kind and supportive.
They helped me through a very difficult time and did the best they could for me. In the end, we got there, and I am very grateful for all the work they did.
Highly recommended.
Outstanding experience from start to finish.
What really stood out wasn’t just their expertise, but their genuinely client-focused approach. From the first conversation, they took the time to understand my situation, explain the process in clear, practical terms, and ensure I felt informed and supported every step of the way.
The approach was highly responsive, professional, and approachable — always available to answer questions and provide reassurance when needed. Nothing felt rushed or transactional; it was clear they were invested in achieving the best outcome while also making the experience as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a legal team that combines strong technical capability with a truly client-centred approach.
Thank you in particular to Amelia Liapis, amazing approach and outcome.
I had a very positive experience with Galbally Parker Lawyers, who assisted me with a small legal matter and successfully had the charges against me withdrawn. Ruth Parker and her team were incredibly relatable and approachable, which immediately put me at ease during what could have been a stressful time. Throughout the entire process, they maintained a high level of professionalism while also ensuring I felt comfortable, informed, and supported. I’m very grateful for their help and would highly recommend their services.
We found Galbally Parker online, and Natasha Poppen was assigned to us based on our initial case description. The complimentary 15-minute consultation was very helpful in confirming that she was the right person to assist us.
Natasha demonstrated exceptional decisiveness, strong legal expertise, and a clear ability to quickly identify the key issues in our matter. Throughout our interaction, she was knowledgeable, supportive, professional, and genuinely helpful.
We would definitely recommend her to anyone with legal matters.
Once again Ruth Parker and her team have got me my license back after losing it for 10 years, a miracle, it’s the 2nd time I’ve used Galbally Parker and I’ve had 2 wins, if you’re in trouble for the first time or someone who has worn green use Ruth or your wasting your money on anyone else. Also special thanks to Alex & Tom they were outstanding.
Biggest thanks to Ruth , it’s been amazing knowing that you’re in my corner.
Facing a highly challenging and uncertain legal situation, I sought advice from several legal practitioners but struggled to find clarity or reassurance. Everything changed when I engaged Ruth Parker at Galbally Parker Lawyers.
From our very first meeting, Ruth showed exceptional decisiveness, deep legal expertise, and an ability to quickly identify the core issues. Her clear and honest assessments, combined with her calm and approachable manner, gave me immediate confidence and a genuine sense of safety at a time when I needed it most.
Throughout the matter, Ruth’s strategic judgment was precise, firm, and consistently effective. She anticipated developments with remarkable accuracy, ultimately steering the process toward an outstanding outcome. She managed every stage with professionalism, integrity, and composure.
At every stage, I felt supported, protected, and truly understood. I cannot recommend Ruth Parker highly enough to anyone seeking legal representation that is professional, trustworthy, and exceptionally skilled. She is without question the advocate you can rely on.
I am just a normal tradie, with no idea about law etc.
I recently found myself on charges and facing court, not having a clue what to do.
So I approached Galbally Parker for help.
These guys are out of this world, they made the whole incident so easy to deal with.
Not only did they get a better outcome, than I had planned, and they did it for a very reasonable price.
I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough, great service with awesome results, and at a good price.
Totally satisfied.
I appreciate ms.parker and the team from start to the end , I was lucky to find them in google search , I had a complicated case , thanks to her everything went smoothly, and I can get on with my life as usual.
The most important she is very calm and she listens,
Thanks again for a great service.
So thankful to have found Galbally Parker, Alex was very helpful, honest and extremely professional throughout.
I couldn’t recommend him enough!
What an absolute pleasure it has been dealing with Galbally Parker. In March my daughter got herself into some trouble, when I found out what had happened I had felt lost and had no idea what to do or where to go.
One day I was doing some research and came across Galbally Parker’s website and read the message for parents, it described exactly how I felt.
From the day we met the team we instantly felt comfortable and was given the best advice. Natasha was so patient with us when there were times we couldn’t understand the process and was always so punctual when it came to emails or calls.
On the day of my daughter’s hearing we also had Ruth’s support.
My daughter received the best outcome.
We will forever be thankful for the amazing service.
When dealing with a lawyer, it is almost never at a good time. Usually, it is at a time of stress and uncertainty, which was the case for us. Having already been through the turmoil of closing a business and thinking we were at the end of it, we found ourselves faced with a complex WorkSafe matter.
Galbally Parker Lawyers were the firm we were advised to work with and from the outset, Natasha was knowledgeable, supportive, professional, helpful and fully advocated for us with a high level of integrity. Our journey to court took some unexpected and challenging turns and Natasha always had the right advice, delivered with humanity and care. When we needed a Barrister, she had excellent referrals and connected us with Morgan Brown, who was equally professional, capable and worked with integrity and humanity.
Their advice and support has been second to none. The outcome we were able to achieve is one that we are happy with and we felt that they were both 100% in our corner and seeking the best outcome for us to the very end. We are grateful to both Natasha and Morgan for making a very difficult time much easier and ultimately ensuring that the outcome was the best we could achieve in the face of very a dogmatic and determined WorkSafe team.
The Galbally Parker team are fantastic, they understood the situation I was in and achieved the outcome i desired. Alex put me at ease, he explained the process and was extremely professional.
I was represented by Nick Munro and he was great!
He explained the whole process to me from our first meeting all up until the day in court. He was very professional and really made me feel confident about what I was up against.
Nick was a personable and likable person and a good lawyer. I would recommend Nick, and the rest of the firm to anyone I knew who needed legal advice and/or representation.
I have gone through Galbally Parker twice now in the past 5 years and both outcomes in court were great.
Thank you.
I would like to express my gratitude to Galbally Parker Criminal Lawyers for their exceptional service throughout my court case.
Ruth and Nick gave professional service with clear guidance with reassurance on what to expect & ultimately had the case withdrawn.
I would highly recommend and if the need arose would re-engage their service if required.
From the moment I found myself in the position of requiring a lawyer, Ruth Parker and staff were by my side, guiding me through every step with sympathy, empathy and up-most profesionalism.
Highly recommended to anyone requiring assistance.
Super professional and hassle free, amazing services.
Worth every dollar!
I was helped with my application for parole by Natasha Poppen. While my application was denied I do want it known that Natasha was more than helpful, explaining the process and making me feel very heard, understood and clear at each step.
I believe she is an asset to your firm and sets a benchmark of high standard that others should strive to achieve.
I have been happy to recommend her and Galbally Parker to others and will continue to do so at each opportunity. Thank you for all of your help.
After charges were withdrawn and no conviction was recorded.
Thanks for Thomas and Natasha.
The result is fantastic.
We appreciate your help.
Hope your firm becomes more and more successful.
Hetty and Natasdha were amazing. They guided and reassured us the whole way.
We felt so relieved choosing this lawyer firm to work with us. And thanks to them we had an extremely positive outcome.
I wholeheartedly endorse Galbally Parker Lawyers by rephrasing the following statement from their website:
This is the disrceet boutique service that you want your criminal defence lawyers to deliver. This is why their firm is recognised as one of the best criminal defence firms in Melbourne.
I had the “unfortunate privilege” of having to engage Ruth Parker, and I can confidently say that her reputation is well-deserved. Beyond Ruth’s widely recognised legal expertise, what sets her apart is her dedication to being a true “buffer” for her clients – ensuring that no aspect of a case is overlooked, including protecting, guiding, and de-stressing you through the entire process.
As Ruth is Principal and Director, I am certain she leads her entire team to operate to the same high standards of legal expertise and client care that she does.
As soon as I reached out for an initial consultation session to this firm, it was pretty much scheduled within a day. The initial paid session with Natasha was definitely something very helpful as it laid out to me some clear next steps. I also felt that it was something that no one else offered, which gave clarity and comfort to me as a client early on itself.
Throughout the length of the case, which took a few months, the communication was effective and timely.
The outcome of my case was positive, and I appreciate the extreme support of Natasha throughout. I would recommend Galbally to anyone who faces a criminal matter, as this firm really takes their clients as valued, and service offereing is premiuim.
I was supported by Ruth and Natasha over the duration of my IVO legal proceedings. Ruth provided a wealth of advice and direction in my initial consultation with her. This gave me some peace of mind and a better understanding of what to expect when I attended court.
Ruth, Natasha and Yasmin (at reception) were all very responsive and answered any of my email or phone queries quickly. They were always approachable and encouraged further contact at any time if I had any questions, which I greatly appreciated.
Natasha’s support at court was excellent. She handled all necessary communications with the police prosecutor, the respondent, court personnel etc, and kept me informed throughout the day. Natasha has a great balance of assertiveness, with a calm disposition.
Thank you Natasha and Ruth!
Appreciate Natasha for appealing my WWCC with a good result.
She is pretty professional and patient.
Galbally Parker Lawyers Melbourne,
They were able to get me the best possible outcome resulting in no conviction and only a fine.
Thomas Bell, my lawyer for case was excellent with his actions during processes during court case and also his dealings with the police.
I definitely would suggest Galbally Parker lawyers to anyone or companies needing legal help.
