LegalAid Avis 

Legal aid is a joke twice I applied with these people to say the least I pasted both time and it seemed like it took forever just to be told you qualify but your case is not worth are time im on a fixed income im on disability cos of my cancer got diagnosed with stage four cancer 3 years ago and had to retire so I've have so serious things happened to me in the last couple of years just to have the door 🚪 slam in my face they tell you qualify but it's kind of like saying it's not worth our time and there always coming out on local news by say we're here for you the people of this city and Counties we're here to help anyone who can't afford a lawyer and we're here for free depending on your income I really think it's more like it depends on your last name or the color of your skin cos I can't afford a real lawyer, so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place cos I qualify cos of my disability of income but not worth there time and I don't have the millions to hire a real lawyer and iv hit a dead end and thus last some individuals came to my door selling there services and there local and started some work a some projects like tree trimming mowing the lawn for a great deal I couldn't refuse so we made the deal and shook hand like I've done a million times before and never had any problems with other land scappers but this time I came across so scam artist ask me for an advance out of the deal we made for a total was $225.00 I gave them $150.00 bucks and they to the money and didn't even do have the job left me hanging in more ways then one and I gave them the money cos they claimed one of there equipment they we're using broke and they needed $150.00 bucks cos that's what the part was gonna cost them to get it fixed never will that happen again and I need help to keep this from happening to others like older people like me or the elderly cos I do know if I was the first sucker or amongst other and like I said there locals these scammers I don't want these to happen to someone else they need to be stopped legally but I don't have the resources to stop this from these scammers to keep from stealing innocent people's money leaving them high and dry cos it may not seem like $150.00 bucks cash is pennies to the dollar to some people especially legal aid but when your on disability and on a fixed income you got to watch every penny unfortunately money dont grow on my trees it may to others by not on my trees cos like my first experience when it sounds to good to be true 9 times out of 10 it's a scam it is and now I probably ain't never gonna see my money again but I'll keep trying I've only got names and phone numbers but no addresses and the County where I'm from jp's office at the courthouse told me if you have no addresses we can't send out letters so small claims court summons them to court cos this is my first time I've done this has happened to me that I can recall ever so I am mad to say the least etc.

I was approved for legal aid and two years later, just 2 weeks prior to the hearing, they abandoned me, even though they stated I was in the right. House lawyer, Toni, is absolutely incompetent and useless. What a joke! They stand by you till the hearing comes! Legal aid is nothing but a waste of time and if you have no choice, be sure to see anyone but Toni because she's uneducated and careless.

What service ?
I've had a few cases over the past 28 months with Legal Aid and I'll rate the service 10%.
I even lodged a complaint in February 2024 at Legal Aid and it's stated that I'd be contacted with regards to my complaint within 2 days.
It's now close to 2 months later and I got nothing back.

While using legal aid seamed to be he was there to help them not me he allowed them to threaten and intimidate me even though it was a pretty easy case he made it alot harder for me worked against me when at the end of it all it was just accusations nothing more he made it more difficult for me any thing I said to him was disregarded even my decisions he over ruled did what he wanted basically trying to find a way to sink me but when all failed cause false accusation can not become facts they bailed left my life in ruins from the damaged that was done by a legal aid worker who decided to tell me all the wrong things to help currupt government workers so if your problem is with a government agency don't bother legal aids in there pocket

I received a callback and the teller was very rude, demanded that I give my bank information, I said I didn’t feel comfortable and he hung up on me.

If they are there to help you then that's what they should do. Cody who represented me in Missouri did not explain things or told me half truths.
Maybe he is the one rotten egg in the group but he gives the rest of them a bad name.

Legal aid refused to help me because the government who I reported for corruption told them not y. My wages weren't paid, my insurance payout short changed, refunds on faulty products not given and all government departments told not to investigate. I've hadn't lies and rumours spread, police telling me it's not in their jurisdiction to investigate my house being vandalled, police harrassment including 2am in the morning banging on my bedroom window, the department of communities sabotaged my file and falsified documents including the photo. Then they took me to Bunbury mental health left me on a two seater couch for nearly thirty hours denying me a phone call and fresh air, medicated me with anti psychotic medication without being assessed make me extremely sick. My cat went hungry. They didn't tell me my rights.When I refused to comply they bought me back and injected it into me sedating me for twenty hours per day. It also gave me head spins and stopped my period. Then they did it again. Then they put me on a community treatment order injected a different anti psychotic medication into me which also made me sick before letting me off the hook. Mark McGowan made false police reports about me stating I was violent and psychotic. The bullying I've copped caused insomnia and I can't think straight which is not schizophrenia. They denied me the right to be assessed by a private psychiatrist. They lied about my diagnosis to cover for the government who lied about me being on drugs because I reported them. All government departments refused to investigate including the corruption board and the police and legal aid couldn't give a crap. The issue is I'm proving that Australians don't believe that human rights are s big deal and they don't believe abuse and bullying is a big deal. This started when I reported people with intellectual disabilites being abused and staff being bullied and mistreated. So I got set up,bullied,mistreated and abused as a result

Do not fall for a legal scam. What ever you write,it end up for optional $5 for 7 days and $53 after, if you want consulting. It not tree consulting. They will email you say someone will contact you in 24 hrs, it will not happen. They gave you a phone number to call is they don't contact you in 24 hours, buy it end up with that option for paid advice. I didn't fall for it,you shouldn't too.

I called got a appointment with a lawyer. He scared me more then helped me. Telling me no reason for me to have a lawyer. That I should prepare to be homeless. How is that helping me. Gonna figure it how myself place is a joke. Plus jumped on me for not having my papers in front of me I sent them all to him.

I had no issues with Legal Aid. The lady that helped me was very knowledgeable and courteous. Everything was very well explained and any questions I had were always answered.
Excellent communication. My calls and emails were always promptly replied to.
The entire legal process was explained in detail to me so there were no surprises.
The lady handling my case worked with me every step of the way. From answering questions to working with my schedule and travel abilities. Everything worked out wonderfully. Best part? This is a 100% free service!
