Ringwood
Lawyers in Ringwood for family, wills, probate and criminal matters
Holt & Macdonald has served Ringwood and the wider Maroondah community for many years. The practice continues today through Parke Lawyers from 281 Maroondah Highway, Ringwood — with lawyers who work across family law, wills and estates, probate, and criminal and traffic matters.
A Ringwood practice
Holt & Macdonald is a legal practice with longstanding roots in Ringwood. Predecessor practices in the eastern suburbs trace their history back many decades. Since 2012 the practice has continued as part of Parke Lawyers, under Jim Parke, with the Ringwood office remaining at 281 Maroondah Highway.
Our clients are individuals, families and small businesses across Maroondah and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs who prefer a considered, personal legal service to the impersonality of larger CBD firms.
