In a world where information is just a click away, many people facing family law issues are tempted by the allure of “free legal advice.” While googling ‘what to do’ or asking a friend can at times be helpful, when it comes to serious and often complex matters like, divorce, child custody issues, estate disputes and property settlements, experienced family law advice from a qualified family lawyer or family law specialist is essential to achieving great outcomes.

How Poor Advice Creates More Work for Lawyers

As Madsen Law has been serving Loganholme since 2005, we have seen lots of people come to us with a problem that was worsened by trying to do it themselves. The common areas issues arise are:   

  1. Incorrect Legal Filings

    Without the proper legal guidance or expertise, completing the required documentation can be extremely difficult.  A poorly drafted affidavits or submissions can often require a solicitor to read, review, correct and re-file these documents to give you a better case. Unfortunately, in some cases it may be too late to rectify, and your case can be damaged.

    2. Missed Deadlines & Opportunities

    Meeting deadlines and complying with restrictions on length and number of attachments to affidavits is crucial to the success of your matter. When deadlines are missed or only partially complied with, you can lose the opportunity to submit evidence, damage your creditability, and have orders placed in favour of the other side, which can be difficult to correct. 

    3. Unrealistic Expectations

    Free advice can paint an overly simplistic picture of possible legal outcomes, leaving individuals unprepared for the realities of their situation. When clients come to lawyers with unrealistic expectations based on faulty advice, it takes additional effort to realign their understanding and establish practical goals.
