Tangled in a Legal Mess? We’ll Help You Break Free—Fast.
Discover How JDL Associates Empowers Victorians Facing Criminal, Family, & Intervention Order Challenges.

Cut through confusion with local, expert legal advice—so you can defend your rights and protect your family in Victoria.
I’m Jonathan Devenish, principal lawyer at JDL Associates. Over the years, I’ve witnessed countless Victorians—good, hardworking people—get lost in a legal labyrinth. They felt isolated, unsure of their rights, and terrified of making a wrong move that could ruin their future.
I get it. The system can be overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. My team and I made it our mission to simplify the legal process and fight for the best outcomes—so you can get back to your life with peace of mind.
