    Can anyone recommend a property development solicitor who is conversant with option contracts who works in Melbourne VIC and therefore current with Victorian laws and legislation?

    Lewis is knowledgable but I found him to be very unreliable. I had him prepare a vendor finance contract for me and it took him several months to write it for me. I had provided him with all of the required details for the deal up front. I was chasing him up at regular intervals the whole time and advised continually that he would have it for me later that week, or early next week and I was high priority for him.

    I came within 1 day of being stuck with a house I bought for my client to purchase off me, as my client would have missed out on a FHOG of $32k and would have only received $26k. My client advised me that if my lawyer couldn’t prepare it in time he wouldn’t sign the contract, which was fair enough.

    Has anyone else used Lewis? I don’t intend to use him again.
