About the firm
A Dandenong practice for migration, family and property matters
R A Lawyers & Migration assists individuals, couples and families with decisions that carry real consequences for their future.
Who we are
Based in Dandenong, serving Melbourne’s diverse communities.
R A Lawyers & Migration is a law practice located at 137-147/8 Walker Street, Dandenong VIC 3175. The firm is led by principal solicitor Ramzan Ali and acts in migration law, family law, family violence intervention order matters and conveyancing.
Dandenong is home to people from a very wide range of backgrounds. Many of the people who seek legal help are dealing with unfamiliar systems, sometimes in a second or third language. That shapes how we work: patiently, clearly and with attention to what each person needs to understand before they act.
The firm lists English, Urdu, Hindi, Dari and Farsi among the languages spoken, and we will try to accommodate your preference when you contact us.
How we work
Principles we hold ourselves to
- Listen first
- Every matter starts with understanding what has happened and what you are hoping for. Advice that does not fit your circumstances is not much use to you.
- Plain language
- Law and migration rules can be dense. We aim to explain where you stand, what the options are and what each would involve, without jargon.
- Honest about limits
- We do not guarantee outcomes, because decisions rest with departments, courts and tribunals. We will tell you about risks and alternatives as well as strengths.
- Respect for your privacy
- Matters in these areas are personal. What you tell us is treated confidentially and used for the purpose of helping you.
Areas of practice
Three areas, one point of contact
Life events often overlap. A relationship may affect a visa; a separation may involve a property; a new home may follow a new visa. Having one firm familiar with your circumstances can make the whole process easier to manage.
- Migration — partner, skilled, protection, humanitarian and short-stay specialist visas.
- Family law — including family violence intervention orders in Victoria.
- Property — conveyancing for buyers and sellers.
