Please read the below important information and please be prepared for your appointment

 1. Please prepare your questions in advance and bring relevant documents with you. It will help if you can briefly write down the main facts.

 3. Each appointment is for a maximum of thirty minutes. Generally the first five to ten minutes will be for the volunteer solicitor to understand the problem with the next twenty minutes on what you can do next legally.

 4. The best the volunteer solicitor can likely do will be to give you initial guidance. It is doubtful you will get a complete answer. You may be referred to a consumer organisation, government department, not for profit or website. The volunteer solicitor may be able to help you write a short email to the relevant person.

 5. Your local library may have legal resources. The State Library in Macquarie Street, Sydney has an extensive collection. You could try looking at www.legalanswers.sl.nsw.gov.au
