Chapter 28:  Legal Assistance

This Chapter outlines when legal advice should be sought and from where, providing advice as to the difference between private lawyers and those operating in community legal centres and through legal aid. A section dealing with complaints about lawyers and legal costs is also included, as are details on how to qualify for legal aid. A useful and up-to-date list of contact details for WA Community Legal Centres is found on pages 448 to 452.

When you have no option but to represent yourself in court, Chapter 1: ABOUT THE WA LEGAL SYSTEM contains further useful information.
