Q: How do I choose a good lawyer for my case?

When you need legal assistance, it is important to choose a lawyer who is experienced and knowledgeable in the specific area of law that pertains to your case. You should also make sure that the lawyer is someone you feel comfortable working with and who you can trust to advocate on your behalf. To find a good lawyer, start by asking family and friends for referrals, or conducting an online search. Once you have compiled a list of potential lawyers, schedule consultations with each one to get a better sense of their experience and expertise. Be sure to ask questions about the specifics of your case, as well as the lawyer's thoughts on how best to proceed. After meeting with all the lawyers on your list, you should be able to make an informed decision about which one is best suited to represent you.

Q: What's the difference between lawyers and solicitors?

In Australia, the term “lawyer” is used to refer to both solicitors and barristers. Solicitors are primarily responsible for providing legal advice to clients and handling their legal matters. Barristers, on the other hand, are primarily responsible for representing clients in court. In some cases, barristers may also provide legal advice to clients, but their primary focus is on advocacy. Both solicitors and barristers must be accredited by the relevant legal bodies in order to practise law in Australia.
