ATTORNEYS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

The American Consulate General in Perth assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms whose names appear in the following list. The names listed are arranged in alphabetical order. The order in which they appear has no other significance.

The following guidelines may be helpful:

It is wise to contact several attorneys. Briefly describe the nature of the services you desire and find out the attorney’s qualifications and experience. Ask for a written schedule of fees charged for the services you need. Do not turn over documents or funds until you are certain the attorney understands your legal needs and will handle your case.

If you cannot afford an attorney, the Legal Aid Commission of Western Australia may be able to assist you. The telephone number is 1-300-650579.

When dealing with your attorney find out how the attorney plans to represent you. Ask specific questions and expect the attorney to explain the legal process and the legal action planned on your behalf. Have your attorney analyze your case and give you the positive and negative aspects and probable outcome. Tell the attorney every relevant fact needed to represent your interests. Ask your attorney to keep you advised of the progress of your case according to a pre- established schedule. Request copies of all letters and documents prepared on your behalf.

If the service of your attorney proves unsatisfactory contact the Legal Practice Board on (08) 9461-2299; Fax (08) 9461-2265; Email: [email protected] If you require additional attorneys or information you may wish to contact the Law Society of Western Australia on (08) 9324-8600; Fax (08) 9324-8699; Email: [email protected]
