Booking Appointments

Appointments with our lawyers & advocates are made by booking scheduled appointments. These bookings can be made by telephone or in person. This process includes our service conducting mandatory “conflict of interest” checks as under the law we cannot assist someone if a legal conflict of interest exists. For example if we have previously assisted the other party to your specific legal dispute we are precluded from assisting you. For more information about conflict of interest please click here.

We also have access to telephone and onsite interpreters however, our onsite interpreters must be pre-booked. Please also remember to bring all your relevant documents pertaining to your issue when attending appointments.
