Myriallakis and Associates Lawyers

Myriallakis and Associates Lawyers is a law firm founded in 2020 in Mildura. Originally a family law firm, it later expanded to offer criminal defence.

Despina Myriallakis is Senior Family Lawyer & Principal Solicitor. Peter 'Pete' Delorenzo is Senior Criminal Defence Solicitor. Craig Gavin is Practice Manager.

The firm offers virtual consultations via Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and in-person family law appointments in Robinvale on the last Friday of every month. It provides a free initial consultation for family law matters, fixed fees for select criminal law and family law matters, and flexible payment plans for eligible clients. It has partnered with JustFund to provide legal fee funding for family law property settlement matters. The firm practises family law and criminal defence, including intervention orders.

Depth of knowledge paired with genuine support is the theme running through feedback on Myriallakis and Associates Lawyers. Despina is named time and again for putting clients at ease, explaining matters clearly and building confidence, with reviewers repeatedly describing her as a wonderful professional who gets things done. Family law figures prominently, including divorce and mediation, and Craig, Hannah and Pete are also singled out for caring, results-driven representation. Speed comes up often: paperwork and issues resolved within a couple of weeks, described by one client as a stark contrast to an earlier attempt to self-submit.

Several customers describe feeling listened to and treated with honesty and respect, while communication before, during and after a matter is called effective. The team's proactive approach and refusal to leave any avenue unexplored are noted, as is the genuine care shown through difficult personal circumstances. Criminal justice representation and general legal services draw favourable comment too, with clients returning on multiple occasions and speaking highly of the outcomes achieved. Feedback centres on knowledgeable, approachable and dependable service.
