Legal Workflow Practice Management

One of the rewards of working at Legal Aid WA is seeing the difference you can make in someone's life. Kate* had recently been assaulted by her ex-partner during handover of their children. She came to court unrepresented, while her ex-partner had a lawyer. Our Domestic Violence Legal Unit duty lawyer helped Kate to apply for a family violence restraining order and advocated for her in court.

The matter was resolved with orders in place to protect Kate and her children, while still allowing safe contact with her ex-partner under a parenting plan. Our legal help ensured the safety of Kate and her children whilst shielding her from the trauma and confrontation associated with legal proceedings.
