Providing Comprehensive Legal Services Since 1991

Since 1991, Brian and Margaret Williams provided quality general law legal services to the Lilydale and Eastern Melbourne communities.. They established their law practice, Brian & Margaret Williams Lawyers, in 2004 and have built a strong reputation for excellence and professionalism. In 2015, Evan Lay purchased the practice, and the practice became what it is known as today: Williams & Lay Lawyers. Although the name has changed, the commitment to providing quality legal services remains the same.


Evan Lay is proud to continue the tradition of excellence started by Brian and Margaret Williams. Brian and Margaret have now retired as of June 2021. He is supported by a growing team of lawyers who share his commitment to providing the best possible legal services to their clients. Together, they aim to build on the solid foundation that has been established by Brian and Margaret Williams and continue to provide quality legal services to the community for many years to come.
