I got scammed from a gym i travelled to cbd to seek legal aid. They gave me 15 min of their time. Asked me to fill out details of owners address of the gym etc which i dont have since they closed down and took my gym fee of 12 months cos i paid upfront. I never recover the money and emailed a whole list of places including consumer affairs. But i shall never forget the experience of legal aid. This is the lesson in life if u have no money there is no legal help or representation. They gave me 15 min of their time to teach me this. I will not forget this and pray that those out there have better luck than i did.
Zero efficiency by some careless individuals at the FDR Unit . Over 6 months since I submitted my application for a Family Law matter, and I still haven’t received a date yet for Mediation by the Mediation Organizer in charge of my case. I repeat: Over 6 months and I still waiting just for a Mediation date to be arranged.

I'm a member of the LGBT community and Union member. I am being racially discriminated and misjudged unfairly and unreasonably. I never imagined that a lawyer from the government would be so heartless to mistreat victims of DV in such a horrible way beyond repair, abandoning me and my child by forcing me to do her job when she was already halfway done without finishing it. My lawyer was Ms.Tara and she sided with my enemies at the end and went against me unreasonably, even after getting paid by taxpayers money, she did not even transfer me to someone else as i requested and she did not get the extension of time when she agreed to do it for me. She even told me to get it myself, the worst part is she made false assumptions and irrelevant statements which has absolutely nothing to do with my case at all, overlooking real evidence and facts, saying that I'm a loser who will not win my case. Insulting and rude, terrible mistreatment and unreasonable negligence to close my case without my consent nor approval. Leaving me abandoned to do her job by myself and telling me to find someone else when she should have just transferred me to a new lawyer instead. Not even offering any type of options for waivers nor any other solutions to help defend my case. She used her own misjudgement as her excuse to terminate and close my case at the final stage, which is the most crucial and important part. Tax payers money is funding this and they won't even finish the job. So disappointed and unbelievable, it makes the organization look bad😥
Great Receptionist. Was lovely and polite and had no issues. My end result in terms of being steered to the legal representative and the policy / acts you need to reference for your specific case or situation was a bit of a let down... ended up having to just pay for an hour of advice from a firm and couldn't access any free legal advice... a bit depressing as not everyone has the means to cover 600 for an hour...
