Please call 0423 466 286 (at least 1 day in advance) to ensure a volunteer lawyer in the right practice area will be on duty.
Please bring all relevant documents and a list of questions you need answered.
Of course if a client is seen by a volunteer at My Community Legal, the lawyer is not allowed to have this person as in private practice afterwards. All clients are given a referral list and if the volunteer practitioner is on it, they rule themselves out.
