Chloe CaoGoogle review, June 2026
I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to CHUA TAN ASSOCIATES.
Thank you for all your hard work during the preliminary stages of my Sponsored visa application. The document checklist provided by your office was detailed, clear, and easy to follow. Throughout the process, CHUA TAN ASSOCIATES demonstrated a proactive and meticulous attitude.
The legal expertise of Ms. Daphne Chan and Mr. Chit Chua is undoubtedly top-tier. After consulting with them, I felt complete confidence in entrusting my case to their hands. Even with the complexities of my specific circumstances, they tackled the challenges head-on—much like NASA calculating a rocket's launch trajectory—to devise the most suitable strategy for me.
My thanks go to Ms. Chan and Mr. Chua I must state that, CHUA TAN ASSOCIATES is hands down the premier law firm in Melbourne!

Minya ChengGoogle review, January 2026
We are so grateful to know Lawyer Chit Thian Chua who has helped my family to go through our PR application. We have gone through nearly twelve years of struggles and huddles. At that time , we were looking for many different migration agents who advise us different ways which led us to dead end. My friend introduced Lawyer Chit Thian Chua to me. When we met Lawyer Chua, we told him about our situations. He advised and guided us through the right PR pathway. Although it took a few years but we saw the results every time. He is a very responsible person, and work extra hard to do the research and gather many solid evidences to support our case. His letters to the immigration were strong and effective. We listened to his suggestions and his plans . We did what he advise us. He is serious and efficient in his work and he always respond us quickly and effectively while he handle our case. We learnt so many things from him and we greatly appreciate his great and good works in our family case and finally we got our PR . Thank you so much and well done ,Lawyer Chua!

Our experience with this lawyer has been truly outstanding. He is honest, kind, and genuinely cares about his clients. Unlike many lawyers or legal offices we had contacted before, he was not focused on money in exchange for consultations. Instead, he provided us with detailed advice free of charge. He was always responsive, polite, and supportive every step of the way, reassuring us whenever we had concerns. Thanks to his efforts, we managed to organize our paperwork properly. We are now waiting for the government’s response, and we are deeply grateful for everything he has done.

Having CTA assisted on my visa application is like taking a first class flight: sit back, relax and enjoy the journey (speed and service). I was prudently guided throughout the whole process. All my queries were cleared by CTA. My documents were reviewed and checked by CTA before submission, which created my strong sense of trust in CTA.

很靠谱的律师，我的第一次申请跟一个中介，当时没有办理下来。后来在签证快要到期的时候找到律师事务所咨询，经历了拒签但是在律所律师帮助下成功上诉拿到457，今天刚下了PR，真的很感谢律所的律师帮助，真的很专业，继续支持
Translation: Very reliable lawyers. My first application was through an agent and it did not succeed. When my visa was about to expire, I consulted this firm. After a refusal, the firm's lawyers helped me appeal successfully and get my 457 visa, and today my PR was granted. I am truly grateful to the firm's lawyers for their very professional help, and I will keep supporting them.
Jin HuoGoogle review, March 2023
Was recommended to this firm by a family friend for their immigration services. was skeptical at first due to a few bad experiences with lawyers and migration agencies, but after the initial consultation with Chit over the phone, all doubts were cleared and I was delightfully surprised by his professionalism, in-depth knowledge and experience in dealing with migration affairs. Even after engaging with Chua Tan Associates, the standard of their service did not disappoint - they were fast and efficient, provided consistent updates with my application, and promptly answered my many queries and doubts.
In addition, the cost of their services were very clear and reasonable - I liked the fact that they charged me in stages rather than one whole amount lumpsum like they do in most migration agencies, as I liked to know what I was paying for and also with this way, I knew that they were still following up on my application (no such doubts now!). In the end, I was notified of the end result of my application within 2 months, rather than the initial minimum duration of 3 months. Big shoutout to Chit and Daphne for their excellent service. If possible, I would give 10/5 stars. Will strongly recommend their services to family and friends in the future.
Sheryn LohGoogle review, December 2022

Bernice LiewGoogle review, November 2022
Mr. Chit Chua and his team, have been amazing, a miracle maker, in saying that, my family and I came to him with a very short time frame with a very complicated matter and had to act promptly as it is time sensitive with all immigration matter, despite the time pressure that we have placed them in, they respond with kindness, dedication, sincerity, diligently looking at all the documents that we have basically given to them and return with the utmost professionalism and advise us on all our legal obligations and risks involved, all the cost detailing with our legal matter is upfront and clear, no hidden fees, and to take the necessary steps into achieving the ideal results that we wanted. No case is too complicated for them. I would strongly recommend them. My family and I will gladly take up on their service again in the near future.
Octavia OngGoogle review, October 2022

J LeeGoogle review, September 2021
我從香港持旅遊簽證過來，18年9月找蔡律師申請188，我覺得收費合理，蔡律師非常仔細解釋申請程序，所需文件，因為涉及大量私人文件，所以我沒有找一般平價中介。兩年內成功申請TR，一切順利，我會介紹給朋友。
Translation: I came from Hong Kong on a tourist visa and engaged lawyer Chua to apply for a 188 visa in September 2018. The fees were reasonable, and lawyer Chua explained the application process and required documents very carefully. Because a lot of personal documents were involved, I didn't use a typical budget agent. I obtained my temporary residence within two years and everything went smoothly. I will recommend him to my friends.

Ruyu YaoGoogle review, September 2025
I’ve recently needed my Power of Attorney notarised to be used in China. I reached out to Chua Tan Associates Melbourne Notary Public and the whole experience was smooth and straightforward. They were easy to deal with, responsive, and knew exactly what was needed—especially helpful given the urgency of the situation. Their notary certificate was done in both English and Mandarin language, save the translation cost, my POA was notarised and apostilled quickly and correctly, and courier to China for me on the same day which helped keep everything moving on my end. Would definitely recommend their services to anyone needing notarial work, especially if you're dealing with notarise and apostille documents to be used in China.

Highly recommend this Law Firm to anyone needing help in probate or any legal matters within their specialties in Australia. Very reasonable and fair fees and pleasant to work with and prompt communication were their key points. Had the privilege of working with Justin and his boss in the past few months in a highly complex, tedious and complicated case with the deceased being domiciled in a foreign country with different cultures having many Australian assets and complicated with having many alternative names needing Probate in Australia from the Australian Court. Justin worked very hard and was extremely responsive, relentless and proposed solutions to solve any and many problems that arose and never gave up until everything was finally resolved, all inclusive for a very very reasonable price. Thank you so much Justin and his boss for everything!

We spent 2 unproductive years with a law firm in Lonsdale Street to sort out my late father's assets. We subsequently engaged Kin Chua and Justin's services; what a world of difference it was.

Nobody wants or likes to go through all this, but I can say hand on heart that Justin is an outstanding operator who has empathy, and the unique ability to be the calm in your respective storm.

Chua Tan Associates 这个律所真的挺不错的。Justin蔡律师说话口齿清晰 英文流利，价格也很公道不像小红书上某些坑的律师公司，文书写得很好，处理 FIVO 家庭案件上非常专业，也很注我的self-defense立场，帮我撤销了FIVO 家庭干预令,没有被指控刑事责任， 还会主动去跟检方沟通，确保客户的权益得到保障。 这种负责的态度真的难得，给人一种特别靠谱的感觉。
Translation: Chua Tan Associates is a really good firm. Justin Chua speaks clearly and his English is fluent. The price was fair, unlike some of the dubious law firms on Xiaohongshu (RedNote). The documents were very well written and he was very professional in handling the family violence intervention order case. He paid close attention to my self-defence position, helped me have the FVIO withdrawn with no criminal charges, and took the initiative to talk with the prosecution to protect my rights. This sense of responsibility is rare and very reassuring.
KirbyGoogle review, November 2024
I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support and guidance provided by my lawyer, Justin during a challenging time in my life. I recently sought help for a family violence intervention order, and my lawyer’s expertise and compassion made a significant difference in the outcome.
From our very first meeting, Justin demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and the complexities surrounding family violence cases. He took the time to listen to my situation attentively, showing empathy and respect for my experiences. His sound advice on my rights in court was not only enlightening but also empowering. He clearly explained the legal processes involved, the potential outcomes, and the best strategies to ensure my protection.
Throughout the court proceedings, Justin was a pillar of strength and reassurance. He meticulously prepared all necessary documentation, represented me with utmost professionalism, and communicated effectively with the court on my behalf. His ability to present my case convincingly and advocate for my rights was truly commendable.
What stood out most was his dedication to ensuring my safety and well-being. He always available to answer my questions, provided timely updates on the case, and offered emotional support when needed.
I cannot thank Justin enough for his exceptional service. His expertise, dedication, and genuine care made a profound impact on my life. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance with family violence matters.
Brian WeeGoogle review, June 2024 Commercial & Employment
I recently engaged Chua Tan Associates to help with a difficult commercial dispute involving an Australian Consumer Law claim. As the owner operator of a small Melbourne business, I needed clear, practical advice and strong representation without the huge fees of larger firms.
From the first meeting, the team (led by Mr Chua) provided excellent strategic legal advice that was tailored specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises. They quickly identified the key issues, explained my rights under the Australian Consumer Law in plain English, and developed a smart, commercially sensible strategy that protected my business interests.
Thanks to their expertise in commercial dispute resolution, we were able to resolve the entire matter efficiently and favourably, avoiding lengthy court proceedings and minimising disruption to my operations.
Their advice on the ACL guarantee obligations was spot-on and helped me negotiate a much better outcome than I expected.
If you run a small or medium-sized business in Melbourne and are facing a commercial dispute, supplier conflict, or Australian Consumer Law issues, I cannot recommend Chua Tan Associates highly enough. They are without doubt one of the best commercial dispute lawyers in Melbourne for SMEs with their professional, responsive, strategic, and genuinely focused on practical results.
Thank you again to Mr Chua and the entire team!
Eleanor HGoogle review, April 2026
Words and reviews are not enough to express our gratitude for these people help.
We engaged Justin, a commercial and insolvency lawyer in Melbourne, to assist with a complex debt issue facing my company. His advice throughout the Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) process was clear, strategic, and results-driven. Justin worked closely with an insolvency practitioner to negotiate a substantial reduction of the total debt owed, allowing my business to continue operating. His negotiation strategy was sharp, well thought-out, and incredibly effective. Thanks to his approach, I was able to settle for a much lower amount than I ever expected. Even better, his legal fees were minimal compared to the amount of debt he helped negotiate down, which was a huge relief during such a financially sensitive time. If you’re looking for a Melbourne insolvency lawyer who can provide practical, cost-effective solutions and guide you through a DOCA or other business debt matters, I highly recommend Justin and Chua Tan Associates.

I highly recommend Justin Chua for his exceptional dedication and professionalism. I had a very tight deadline for a Memorandum of Transfer during the Christmas holiday period, and he actually cut his own holiday short to return to Melbourne and assist me. His commitment to his clients is rare; because of his prompt intervention, I was able to avoid significant extra stamp duty costs. I am incredibly grateful for his help.

Chanel CastelGoogle review, October 2023 Criminal & Traffic
非常感谢蔡庆伟律师事务所的团队！我因为几项交通违章被起诉，原本非常担心会留下案底、罚款甚至吊销驾照。幸运的是，我找到了蔡律师。他非常专业、认真，经验丰富，从一开始就耐心地为我分析案情，制定了详细的应对策略。
最后在他的帮助下，我的交通违章在法庭上被证实但根据《判刑法》第76条被撤销，我不仅没有被罚款，也没有留下任何犯罪记录，更重要的是保住了驾照！
如果你在墨尔本遇到了刑事或者交通方面的法律问题，我强烈推荐蔡庆伟律师事务所。他们是我见过最靠谱的墨尔本刑事律师团队，尤其擅长处理交通违章案件。真的非常感谢他们的帮助！
Translation: A huge thank you to the team at Chua Tan Associates! I was charged with several traffic offences and was very worried about a criminal record, fines or even losing my licence. Luckily I found lawyer Chua. He is very professional, careful and experienced, and from the start he patiently analysed my case and worked out a detailed strategy. In the end, with his help, the offences were found proven in court but dismissed under section 76 of the Sentencing Act. I was not fined, I have no criminal record and, most importantly, I kept my licence! If you have a criminal or traffic problem in Melbourne, I strongly recommend Chua Tan Associates. They are the most reliable criminal law team I have come across in Melbourne, especially good with traffic matters. Thank you so much for your help!

had the privilege of working with Justin, a skilled criminal defence lawyer in Melbourne, who successfully helped me have all my local council charges withdrawn. His professionalism, strategic approach, and clear communication were outstanding throughout the process. He took the time to thoroughly understand my case and negotiated directly with the council, achieving a favourable outcome without the need for court proceedings in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria. I truly appreciated his dedication and expertise in handling my matter. Thanks to his efforts, I am relieved and grateful for the positive resolution. I highly recommend his services for anyone in need of legal assistance with criminal law matters. Thanks again.
