How We Work
Our Philosophy
Legal advice is a right, not a privilege. But it's too expensive for most of us, and legal aid is too limited or too far away. Our communities have many problems that could use legal advice, but people often don't get the help they need.
It might be a contract or a claim against your employer. Maybe you want to contest a driving charge, or there's a will you need to get done. Added up, it's a bit like having untreated illness across the community. We aim to help fix that.
The Barefoot Law Process
Make an appointment
Email, call, or use our enquiry form to book an appointment: connect@barefootlaw.net.au
Please email us to outline your situation and what you're looking for, so we can think about your issues before you arrive. This saves our time and your money.
Heads Up
One of our staff may call you ahead of your appointment to gather further information relevant to your situation. This helps streamline your appointment with our solicitor/s and reduces costs for you.
Payment
We request some form of payment on the day of your appointment. We will issue an invoice and use simple costs agreements. If you are unable to pay anything, email us and we will try to help.
Outcome
We will discuss your matter and provide written advice. If your matter is ongoing and you would like to retain our services, we will send you a detailed letter outlining how we plan to move forward.
