Stories from Australians Like You

These are real experiences shared by everyday Australians who have faced our justice system.

"After three years fighting a simple property dispute, I spent my life savings on legal fees. The other party had corporate lawyers on retainer. I never stood a chance."
Brisbane, Queensland
"Key evidence in my case mysteriously disappeared from the court file. When I complained, I was told there was nothing that could be done. Where's the accountability?"
Sydney, New South Wales
"I couldn't afford a lawyer for my family court matter. The duty solicitor had 10 minutes for my case. The judge expected me to know procedures I'd never heard of."
Melbourne, Victoria
"As a whistleblower, I expected the law to protect me. Instead, I faced years of legal retaliation while the wrongdoers walked free. The system punished me for doing the right thing."
Perth, Western Australia
"My parents lost everything fighting a builder who did defective work. The builder declared bankruptcy, restarted under a new company name, and we couldn't touch him."
Adelaide, South Australia
"I filed a complaint about a solicitor who mishandled my case. The investigation took two years, and in the end, they found no wrongdoing. No explanation, no details."
Hobart, Tasmania
