David Chalmers

David Chalmers has been a devoted practitioner in family law since his admission to practice in 2001. Joining Just Family Law in 2015, he has continued to enhance his expertise, focusing almost exclusively on family law matters. David is highly proficient in handling an array of parenting and financial issues, encompassing straightforward divorces as well as complex litigation involving significant assets. His client-centred approach ensures that each case receives his careful attention, while he diligently manages costs to offer reasonable and affordable services. As a single parent, David brings a passionate commitment to parenting matters, striving to facilitate solutions that allow both parents to maintain meaningful relationships with their children post-separation. His goal is to deliver long-term, workable outcomes that minimise the need for future legal interventions. David is dedicated to securing fair financial entitlements for his clients and prioritises resolving matters outside of court when possible. However, when court appearances are necessary, he effectively represents his clients at both the Family Law Courts and the Magistrates Court, particularly in intervention order matters tied to family law disputes. His professional affiliations include membership with the Law Institute of Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula Lawyers Association. Additionally, David volunteers at the Casey Cardinia Community Legal Service, an endeavour that he finds both rewarding and invaluable. Serving the clients of Just Family Law from the Dandenong practice, David has played an essential role in delivering comprehensive legal advice since his tenure began.
