“I have always been motivated by my passion for justice and truth, and I strive for the pursuit of fairness with each and every one of my clients.”

Peter is a Junior Partner at Melasecca Kelly and Zayler.  His career in law began long before he became a lawyer.  His father, Rob Melasecca, has been a leading criminal lawyer in Victoria for over 50 years.

“I have always been involved in the law.  My youth was not that of a most young people growing up.  When telling me nursery rhymes and fairy tales, my father would present them to me as a case and tell me that my job is to tell the story of Jack and Jill walked up the hill, through cross examination without leading the witness.  It was a fun game that we often played during car trips, and it honed my skillset from an early age”

When Peter was in his teenage years, he worked at his father’s office as a receptionist and later as an office administrator.  Whilst completing his studies, when Peter was not at university, he was at his father’s law firm working, reading client files, and learning the trade.
