Our story
Village Family Lawyers was founded by Mornington Peninsula local Lauren Wilson, who had a vision of offering a fresh and professional approach to family law services in the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston and Bayside region. With a deep passion for family law, Lauren recognised that separation is more than just a legal matter. She wanted to provide her clients with holistic and practical solutions, understanding the importance of addressing separation’s emotional and practical aspects.
Lauren and her team firmly believe that court should be the last resort and strive to explore all possible avenues to keep families out of court. If court becomes unavoidable, they are dedicated to settling matters early, saving their clients valuable time and money. The Village Family Lawyers team takes pride in simplifying the family law process and delivering high-quality professional services to both male and female clients.
