I am deeply disappointed with my experience at Legal Aid. As a victim of family and domestic violence I expected better. The lawyers I interacted with seemed ineffective and offered more excuses than solutions. When I raised my concerns, the legal aid workers were unresponsive and lacked empathy. It's troubling to see taxpayer dollars being used in a way that feels wasteful and unproductive. I wouldn't wish the lawyers here on anyone facing family or domestic violence issues. Unfortunately, it seems that the support for vulnerable individuals is lacking. In summary, my experience with Legal Aid has been incredibly frustrating, and I feel let down by a system that should be there to help those in need.
