Our Stories
“My experience acting on a Law Access matter was highly positive and rewarding. The referral process was seamless as Law Access provided the key facts, supporting documents, and the client’s contact details, which enabled a smooth transition into the matter.
What stood out most was the interpersonal nature of the matter. Unlike acting for corporate clients, I was able to build a direct relationship with the individual, putting a face to the name and appreciating the real impact of the advice. As a law graduate, it was an invaluable opportunity to take greater responsibility and ownership of the matter.
Pro bono work is particularly meaningful to me as it allows me to apply my training and skills to those who need it most. Law Access made the process straightforward, and I would encourage any graduate or lawyer to take on a referral.”
“I recently accepted a referral from Law Access to assist an elderly couple with the forced sale of their property under section 126 of the Property Law Act 1969 (WA), a situation further complicated by family disputes. Throughout the matter, Law Access provided invaluable guidance and was particularly helpful in arranging a barrister to assist with the court application.
Working directly with the couple was very rewarding, allowing me to provide practical support during a highly stressful time. The matter also presented a number of complexities that strengthened both my technical legal skills and my ability to manage sensitive client interactions. This experience highlights the significant role of Law Access in facilitating pro bono work, enabling practitioners to make a meaningful impact for those in need.”
