Based in Geelong, Victoria, WS Lawyers was established in 2012 by principal solicitor Caetlyn Wells. Strategically located in Geelong’s central business district, the firm is renowned for its expertise in criminal law and child protection. Its team provides comprehensive representation for criminal matters, child protection cases, Children’s Court proceedings, and intervention order applications. Predominantly appearing in the Geelong courts, the firm also extends its services to surrounding regions. WS Lawyers is deeply committed to compassion, experience, and knowledge, offering supportive and personalised legal solutions. The firm prioritises clear guidance and strong advocacy to secure the best possible outcomes for clients, and it accepts both Legal Aid funded work and privately funded clients. There are specific limitations on Legal Aid for driving-only matters, and private funding is required for Intervention Order matters and County Court appearances.
In terms of services, WS Lawyers offers extensive legal assistance across various aspects, including criminal cases and intervention order applications. The team is dedicated to guiding clients through the legal process with clarity and assertiveness, ensuring they are supported every step of the way during challenging and sensitive situations.
The firm handles criminal matters with a particular focus on summary offences generally addressed in the Magistrates’ Court. These include assault, burglary, driving offences, and drug-related issues. The legal team underscores the importance of seeking professional support due to the complexity of the Criminal Justice System, aiming for the best possible outcomes for those charged.
Child protection issues are another critical area of focus for WS Lawyers. These matters typically arise when the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing believes a child is in need of protection. The firm provides representation for all parties involved, including children and parents, prioritising support and sensitivity due to the often emotional and traumatic nature of these cases.
Furthermore, WS Lawyers is experienced in handling matters in the Children’s Court, particularly for individuals under 18. The team is dedicated to creating a secure and supportive environment, working diligently to ensure that the legal experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible for minors and their families.
