郑勋元律师是维多利亚州，高等诉讼管辖权专属维州大律师协会 (Victorian Bar Association)的成员. 郑律师是该协会少数精通中文的出庭律师 (Barrister). 
 
郑律师接受多方面的诉讼案件，包括刑法和商业法.
 
法院诉讼的输赢，取决于法官或陪审团是否了解与理解当事人的陈述。因郑律师精通流利的中文，加上他的华人背景，能深深的理解诉讼当事人的状况，并提出最有说服力的论述，这也是郑律师最特殊的专长。郑律师也最能替华人客户节省费用。因为维州大多数出庭律师不懂中文，华人客户与出庭律师会面时需要透过翻译，因此华人客户诉讼费用一般超过本地客户甚多(出庭律师是以每小时计费)。郑律师已经帮助许多华人客户成功达成诉讼或和解，并节省很多的诉讼费用。
