Highly recommend Yoshiko, I have had Yoshiko represent me the past 7-8 years when ever I have needed her in family court. Yoshiko has always been professional, culturally supportive and incredibly child focused. 7 years ago I met Yoshiko as a father that needed help to gain access to my child after separation, I now have full custody of my daughter. It’s not all about the wins for me but about a lawyer who fights hard for the rights of children and their emotional well-being, that’s winning in my books
Don't care about there mob,give legal advise that is completely wrong and would be detrimental to your case. just another example of wasted tax payers dollars on another scamming Aboriginal service that has no care or compassion for you, do yourself a favour and go speak with legal aid..
Just wanted to say Luke Bull and Jordie (hope I got the spelling correct) where absolutely amazing to deal with. Very personal and very professional. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Amazing people with passion and a want to assist people!
Aboriginal Legal Aid have been around for a long time, an institution since the seventies. Innumerable indigenous people have been helped thru the complicated legal labryrinth over the decades, in particular young male and female offenders. What should be remembered though, is that there are some of those accused, who are actually innocent, or on trumped up charges by the police, and it is then that the Aboriginal Legal Service has traditionally been at its best in mitigating such charges. In more recent times the Service has taken on Family Law and this is a very necessary addition to their legal weaponary. Funding for this most necessary service for indigenous folk must never never stop or there will be social chaos.
I find it hilarious that they make you wait on hold for ever and then tell you they cannot give advice and you must call your lawyer. Nice job wish I could get work like that. Cheers
