Choosing legal help in South Australia

Make the first paid task concrete

Ask a South Australian office to describe the deliverable: a discussion, document review, written advice or a defined step in an ongoing matter. Confirm how much reading is included. If two estimates differ, check the scope and additional expenses before concluding that the smaller amount is better value.

Consider the Commission’s assistance routes

The Legal Services Commission of South Australia publishes a central Adelaide office and metropolitan and regional office contacts. Check its current contact page and explain the help you are seeking. Ask whether information, advice or another service may be available; assistance and continuing representation are not interchangeable.
