For more than 40 years, Zaparas Lawyers has helped families across Sunshine, Werribee, Melton, and beyond recover compensation after accidents and injuries.
Starting as a small family practice in 1981, specialising in personal injury law. Today, Managing Partner Yianni Zaparas continues the mission his father, Peter, began.
“My father taught me that behind every case is a family counting on us,” Yianni says. “That’s why we fight for our clients as we’d fight for our own family.”
Throughout the year, the Zaparas team are busy working on thousands of cases, but they don’t just live behind their desks. Walk through a local festival in the West, and there’s a good chance you’ll spot someone from the team.
At the Ethiopian community celebration, the team chats with families near the food stalls. During Diwali festivities, they watch the lights alongside neighbours from Werribee and beyond. At the Braybrook Buddhist temple, they join locals for quiet moments of reflection and connection.
The Zaparas team members live and work locally. They know the streets, the shops, the faces. They’re out meeting the community face to face, supporting local events, answering questions about what to do after an accident, and becoming familiar faces you can trust.
“Community is at the core of everything we do,” says Rebecca Christofidis, Partner and Branch Manager of the Zaparas Werribee office. “The proof is in the showing up. Year after year, event after event, the same familiar faces return to support the gatherings that bring the West together.”
Their community work extends well beyond Melbourne’s West. Zaparas is a proud partner of Turbans 4 Australia, supporting food relief for people doing it tough. They stand alongside sporting clubs and cultural gatherings from Glendi to Lunar New Year to local football teams, helping keep grassroots events alive.
The same commitment extends to health and well-being. Whether it be supporting the Western Health Foundation or partnering with the Alfred’s Occupational Respiratory Clinic, where they’re helping fund a groundbreaking silicosis medical trial that offers hope to workers and families affected, Zaparas Lawyers will go above and beyond to support those in need, both inside and outside the courtroom.
As one of Australia’s largest personal injury firms, with over 200 professionals and billions of dollars secured for clients since 1981, this is what sets Zaparas apart: they’ve never left the communities they serve.
With a team that speaks over 30 different languages, Zaparas Lawyers support you in the language you’re most comfortable with.
If you’ve been hurt in a car accident, injured at work, been diagnosed with an illness or disease, or suffered an injury in a public place, the Zaparas Lawyers team handles TAC claims, WorkCover matters, superannuation TPD claims, and public liability cases on a No Win, No Fee basis with no out-of-pocket expenses.
