Hi there Kelly,
We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work throughout the whole court process. Dealing with yourself was very easy and your professional approach to your craft is inspiring. You seem like you actually care and are passionate in getting good outcomes for your clients. The whole process from start to finish was so easy, from the initial consult, payment, meeting you face to face and communication through email. The outcome was of course favourable today but either way we were very impressed with your work and the service your firm provided us!
Thankyou so much!
Kind Regards,
Aaron and Dyala.
I cannot recommend Kelly Floris highly enough. She was incredibly responsive and professional, and knowledgeable, guiding me through the FVIO contested hearing process. Kelly really listened and took the time to understand my situation and provided clear, informed advice. I found Kelly to not only be compassionate, but her wealth of experience was evident from the moment I met her and definitely very much so in the court room. I cannot thank Kelly enough for the outcome we got and support she provided during and after the process. Thanks Kelly, for everything.

It is with great pleasure and gratitude to write a review for Kelly Floris, who represented me in the county court. I found her to be very thorough in all detail and very reliable also another quality I experienced was her nonjudgemental approach. She was very respectful and gave her whole heart and mind to my specific case. I was very privileged and fortunate to have Kelly represent me, if it wasn’t for her. I would’ve been in jail. Myself and my family are very grateful to her and would recommend her to anyone with any need in her specific area of expertise.
Thank you Kelly once again and I wish you all the best in all you do.
I was very blessed to have been introduced to Kelly Floris by the wonderful lady from Legal Aid. Many thanks and gratitude to Kelly for helping me with my case and she went above and beyond for me!🙏🏾 Her compassion and empathy towards me was much needed in the situation I got myself involved in. Thank you Kelly !
Kelly went above and beyond her duty to help with my legal case. She was respectful, understanding and warm towards me, but an absolute firecracker whole doing her job in the courtroom. After years of dealing with other lawyers, and feeling like i was getting nothing and nowhere, Kelly has restored my faith in lawyers. Thank you so much Kelly, you where amazing.
Kellie was awesome representing me more than enough times with my final result being all matters thrown so far out of court. The relief Kellie has given me! 🤙🙏😇 Thank you, Jamie.T.
Kelly was wonderful and totally understanding of my situation. She provided updates regularly and was easy to contact and gave swift replies to any concerns I had.
I highly recommend both Kelly and Melbourne Nepean Lawyers.
Thanks again for your assistance.
They were helpful, got a positive result.
Kelly was great! Got me out of a criminal record even despite the fact everyone else i sought help from told me i would 100% be going to jail. Thanks for helping me get a second chance!

Having worked with and in the criminal system interstate, I have recommended MNP to Victorian based individuals who have been served with interim FVIOs.
Previously, I have recommended other solicitors, but it has been Ms Floris who has acted for them and achieved outstanding results.
Ms Floris is exceptionally professional, honest, and without doubt, she acts in the best interests of her clients. Her dedication is clear and this is supported where those I have recommended have received correspondence relating to their matters outside of office hours.
If I was to engage a solicitor to challenge a criminal or FVIO matter, Ms Floris would be my only choice.
Woul like to thank Kelly Floris of Melbourne Nepean layers for her fantastic work and her professional manner kind regards Kenneth
Couldn’t be happier with the outcome extremely professional, honest and straight to the point. Would be more than happy to highly recommend for others looking for support.
I highly recommend Kelly, from Melbourne Nepean Lawyers. I have used Kelly multiple times now for a range of things from serious matters to minor offenses. In my opinion you won't find a better, more thorough Lawyer anywhere else. Kelly is dedicated to her work and certainly has the experience to back it. MNL #no.1
Kelly was fantastic in helping me get through my court matter regarding family violence and intervention orders. She was very thorough in helping explain the law to me as It was my first time in court and also how the court system works. Once I understood the rest was pretty seamless and obviously having the utmost confidence in Kelly I knew I was in good hands.
Thanks again Kelly for your help during this difficult time.
Regards, mitch.
Kelly was absolutely awesome in the court room. Before court, my case was thoroughly looked through more than I expected. Long story short, the judge gave me the absolute minimum he could mandatorily, when my 3 charges were expected to give me alot more.
Recently I needed some legal assistance. I contacted Kelly and she navigated me through the preceding months and finally to Court. She got me a better than expected result and I am sincerely grateful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Kelly is absolutely amazing. Very clear and prompt communication and had our matter resolved very quickly. Very appreciative of Kelly’s hard work.
Thankyou Kelly you did a wonderful job you got us the best outcome we fully recommend you and your services. Regards Rob

Kelly Floris from Melbourne Nepean Lawyers has been absolutely amazing in dealing with my court matters in a prompt and professional way. I have gad her services on numerous occasions and recommend her highly! She will do her best and sure you will get a great outcome
I recently used Kelly floris from Melbourne Nepean lawyers for an IVO hearing and was absolutely amazed at how she handled the case, also of course the outstanding results we got. She definitely went above and beyond and worked with me 100% of the way, made me feel comfort when needed as this is all new to me. Kelly Floris I personally want to thankyou so much for everything that you did for me and helped me understand never a question un turned. I have already highly recommended you to others and they also say the same about you so if you or anyone you know needs a good arse kicking lawyer she is number 1 don't hesitate. Hopefully I won't need you but if I do need legal it will be you always thanks again.
Kelly it’s a nice good professional person I will recommend to everyone it’s on trouble and need help Thanks for your help today and great result your help me to finishing a battle after 5 years Professional job thanks again
Kelly Floris, Principal represented me in a recent matter.
She was thorough, supportive and engaging.
She clearly laid out potential options and pathways, removing some anxiety throughout the process.
I have dealt with many legal representatives and was very impressed and would certainly use her in the future and would recommend - she also has a good handle on the personalities and practitioners in the area that is beneficial when dealing with opposition lawyers and magistrates.
It was obvious she cared and was not out to rip me off the previous lawyer I spoke too. Her advice was honest. She didn't see her services necessary for me and recommended free services which never seems to happen with lawyers these days. This put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her based on my experience.
Kelly achieved an amazing result for me and was helpful, responsive, and professional the whole way through. Couldn’t recommend Kelly enough 👍🏻
Thank you Kelly for helping me with my matter. I highly recommend Kelly. Highly professional.
