Reviews
"I hate that night that I visited a lawyer at 8 pm in there in shorts. I felt like I push him to talk to me,Apparently, he was in a rush . Even when I asked him to talk a little bit slowly he got angry. Ended up he made me cry."
"I’ve been litigating with my exes lawyer via family matters with the occasional guidance of FLC. They’ve been encouraging and empowering. Great service!"
"Very Happy With Their Free Legal Advice and Support and Representation at Court Also They Have LGBTQ Team Members to Help With Certain Things Like Property Rights"
"Received free tenancy advice after the rental provider; at 'Clara Q' 118-120 HIGH ST STH KEW, issued a notice to vacate. Reason: I wouldn't replace a faulty electoral appliance supplied by the owner."
"Very rude lawyer who made me feel like my case was a joke to him. He didn’t want to listen to what I had to say and he told me it was not worth his time. He also didn’t offer me any advice as to what other avenues I can take but was instead very demeaning and dismissive towards me and my case. I was referred to this service by Vic legal. He was frustrated that Vic legal referred me and he took his frustration out on me me! Very very rude and unprofessional service. Wish I could speak to someone to make a formal complaint against this person."
