नमस्ते — welcome
I'm Ushma Sigdel, a lawyer at Vision Overseas Group. I help the Nepali-Australian community across Greater Melbourne with family, property and immigration matters — clearly, warmly, and without the jargon.
An Australian lawyer who understands Nepali and South Asian culture.
नमस्ते · English, Nepali & Hindi spoken I explain the law the way I'd want it explained to me — clearly, and without the scary words.
How I can help
Family, property and immigration — the areas that most affect our community's families, homes and futures. Whichever you're facing, you'll get the same thing: clear advice, in a language you understand, from someone genuinely in your corner.
Separation, divorce, parenting arrangements and property settlements — handled with care, in plain English.
Buying, selling and transferring property — contracts reviewed so you know exactly what you're signing.
Visas, partner and family applications, and citizenship — clear, honest guidance through Australia's immigration system.
Also here to help with
Wills, powers of attorney and estate matters — so your wishes are clear and the people you care about are looked after.
Family violence and personal safety intervention orders — practical, supportive help whether you're seeking an order or responding to one.
How it works
Send a short message or call. Tell me what's going on in your own words — you don't need legal terms or a tidy summary.
We'll have a clear, jargon-free conversation about your situation and your options — in person at Epping or remotely, in English, Nepali or Hindi.
You'll leave knowing your next steps and what to expect. If I can help, we'll get started — at a pace that works for you.
Good to know
Yes. नमस्ते — I'm part of Melbourne's Nepali-Australian community, and you're welcome to speak with me in English, Nepali or Hindi. Legal words can be confusing in any language, so I take the time to explain things clearly whichever you prefer.
I see clients at the Vision Overseas Group office in Epping, in Melbourne's north, and I also offer remote consultations by phone or video across Greater Melbourne — so you can get help wherever you are.
I work across family law, property law and immigration law. That covers separation, divorce, parenting and property settlements; buying, selling and transferring property; and visas, partner and family applications and citizenship. I also help with wills and estates — including powers of attorney — and intervention orders. If your matter sits outside these areas, I'll point you in the right direction.
Absolutely. Many people reach out unsure of what they even need. You don't have to have it figured out — just tell me what's happening, and we'll work through your options together, one step at a time.
Costs depend on what your matter involves. The best first step is to contact me — I'll explain clearly how fees work for your situation before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises.
You'll get plain-English explanations, honest advice about your options, and someone who treats you like a person — not a case number. I'll always be upfront about what I can and can't help with.
