In the heart of the West, where community matters most, Zaparas Lawyers has become more than just a law firm, it’s a trusted neighbour and committed advocate for those in need. For over 40 years, they have protected and advocated for individuals facing life’s toughest challenges after an injury.
From humble beginnings in 1985 with a single office, Zaparas Lawyers has since grown into one of the most trusted personal injury law firms in Victoria. With nine offices across the state, three of which are proudly located in the West (Sunshine, Werribee, and Melton), Zaparas Lawyers and its expert team are there to be a voice for the vulnerable.
By providing compassionate, client-focused legal representation, Zaparas Lawyers offers invaluable support to clients navigating complex cases after being injured at work, on the road, or in public places, along with representing those who have suffered an illness or disease.
Pictured is one of the firm’s clients, Yi Bao Xiong. After migrating from China to Australia at the age of 53, Mr Xiong faced numerous challenges, particularly a language barrier that made it difficult to navigate life in a foreign country. Things took a turn for the worse when a car accident in Footscray left him with significant back and neck injuries, further complicating his already difficult situation.
From the moment Mr Xiong reached out to Zaparas Lawyers, he found a supportive team that helped him understand his legal rights and the legal process. Assisting in securing weekly payments, funding for medical treatment, which helped him to rehabilitate and return to modified work, and ultimately a lump sum for Mr Xiong’s pain and suffering, Zaparas Lawyers helped Mr Xiong manage the ongoing impact of the injuries on his daily life and obtain just compensation.
“I am appreciative for what Zaparas Lawyers did for me, and the way they helped care for me along the way” – Yi Bao Xiong via an interpreter.
Stories like Mr Xiong’s are heard every day at Zaparas Lawyers, highlighting the challenges many people face. But what truly sets this firm apart is not just legal expertise, it is also its deep connection to the community. The team’s commitment goes beyond providing legal services; they take the time to listen, understand, and support those they serve. It is this genuine care and engagement that ensures every client feels heard, valued, and empowered throughout their journey.
“I feel so privileged to help, protect, empower, and be a voice for people of the West, alongside and with an incredibly talented, determined, and compassionate team, so that our clients can focus on their recovery and return to work.
I feel fortunate to be able to do this where access to justice and legal representation is not restricted by someone’s financial means as we can help the local community that comes to us on a no-win, no-fee basis, with no out-of-pocket expenses.” – Harry Hatzis, Senior Associate and Branch Manager of the Sunshine Office.
A law firm that speaks over 30 different languages and offers No Win, No Fee services, Zaparas Lawyers dedicates itself to truly being a law firm that understands people. With dedicated teams across the West, Zaparas Lawyers stands as a powerful voice for the injured and vulnerable.
