Peter Kelso grew up in institutional care for 13 years; he knows child abuse personally and the ‘system’ many of his clients went through.
Kelso Lawyers have spent several years specialising in the field of child sexual abuse. Our years of experience has lead to our team knowing how to use all the side doors and back doors in the law to win a complex case.

Peter is a public figure. He advocates for change and broadcasts his opinions in the media and on the Internet. Peter doesn’t respect reputations. His voice is heard loudly and repeatedly.
The law is our number one interest. At Kelso Lawyers, we push hard to finish your claim so you can get on with your life.
Our director, Peter Kelso, has experienced the devastating impact of child abuse. Peter became a State ward at age five and grew up separated from his siblings. He experienced physical and emotional abuse in foster care.
For a long time, Peter kept his abuse a secret. But in recent years, he has let his guard down. Sharing his story has helped other survivors to feel safer in sharing theirs.
Peter knows that it’s possible to turn the corner. And, with his legal expertise, he helps his clients to achieve a ‘breakthrough moment’. This may be through pursuing financial settlements or apologies from the institution responsible for your abuse.
