Barefoot Law

About

Why Barefoot Law?

Legal advice is a right not a privilege. But it’s too expensive for most us and legal aid is too limited or 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 you need 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.

What is Barefoot Law?

Barefoot Law offers practical low-cost advice to individuals and families, community organisations and small businesses. We are plying a trade – like making new shelves for your kitchen, putting in a bathroom or building a studio ‘out the back’. Only our trade is law.

Barefoot Law aims to help you make decisions and empower you – whether that means creating a document or helping you navigate a bureaucracy. If you need a specialist we will find you one. We have a good network of local and city experts to call on.

How much is Barefoot Law?

Our clinic fees are like what you might pay a tradie: $150 per full hour. Standard rate is $150. Minimum fee $50. Fees are below rates charged by most firms and close to what many pay for massages or physio. For some complex work we will charge more. But we will always discuss fees before we do any work.
