Wouldn't let me make a free appointment to get free advice on how to help care for my elderly disabled relative in their 80's who's on the pension handle legal aspects such as a letter of demand associated with a minor traffic infringment that she was involved in where someone else was at-fault because I was transparent and disclosed that I was a high income earner, and they discriminate against high income earners even though you're the most likely to make a bequest to them (but they'll help you if you're asset rich with more assets than a high income earner but smart enough to income streaming amongst your family so you remain on a low-income). Now I've had to tell that elderly relative they'll have to handle the stress and anxiety of handling the matter themselves. Next time a lawyer asks you for free advice about your specialisation, even informally, think about how sympathetic they are, and how and whether they'd return you the favour and give you their free confidential legal advice, and also first consider asking them whether they're a high income earner (or just anticipate they will become one), and if so quote them your hourly rate upfront with per second billing. On a previous occasion when I needed help for my own personal situation I didn't disclose my precise income to the person I dealt with at ICLC, but they didn't push me for it, and they actually still arranged an appointment for me anyway and they were actually helpful during the confidential appointment. In hindsight half of me is glad I didn't rush into making them a bequest after the recent encounter, but the other half is grateful that they do still try to help people who are really in need in the community.

If you need help with anything to do with court matters.I would absolutely recommend the ICLC team.they actually care about people and people's outcome in court.
