"We will listen to you and fight for you because we care. It's about you." That is how De Kretser Law, at 340 Highett Road, introduces itself. The firm describes itself as a Melbourne and Bayside law firm with more than 20 years' experience, offering "high quality legal representation in plain English".
A Highett firm since 2004
According to its about page, De Kretser Law was founded by Andrew De Kretser in 2004. Over the years, demand for the firm's services has grown its team, which it says guides clients through each step of the legal process with sensitivity and dedication. The firm recognises that clients often need a lawyer during a stressful or difficult time in their lives, especially when criminal law is involved.
The firm's three areas of specialisation are criminal law, conveyancing, and wills and probate. It says it provides comprehensive yet efficient advice in Bayside, Melbourne and surrounding suburbs, and services all suburbs in metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria for those areas of law.
Meet the team
Principal Lawyer Andrew De Kretser completed a Bachelor of Arts, with a criminology major, at the University of Melbourne and a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Queensland. The website says he regularly appears for clients in the Magistrates' Court and represents clients in complex cases in the County Court, Supreme Court and Court of Appeal, striving for the best result through strategic legal advice, effective advocacy and client care.
Michael De Kretser, the firm's Law Clerk, has more than 25 years of experience in conveyancing and property transfers, including complex subdivisions and off-the-plan purchases. He joined the firm after running his own conveyancing business for 20 years, and the website notes that many of his previous clients come back for repeat conveyancing work.
Giving back
The firm's about page also highlights its community commitment. Andrew is a committee member and volunteer at Avalon Centre, a charity that helps people experiencing homelessness and people with disabilities, and Michael is Vice President and a Life Member of The East Sandringham Cricket Club.
