Phang Legal provides Legal Aid assistance.
Phang Legal assists the NSW Legal Aid Commission and clients who qualify for Legal Aid assistance. The Legal Aid Commission assists socially and economically disadvantaged people to understand and protect their rights. Check the Legal Aid Means Test Indicator to determine whether you are financially eligible to apply for Legal Aid assistance.
You can ask Legal Aid to represent you in court or, if you want us to represent you, you can ask Legal Aid to pay our legal costs for representing you in court. Our lawyers are on various Legal Aid panels including:
- Criminal Law
- Family Law
- Civil Litigation
We believe that access to quality legal services is a right of every individual. We pride ourselves in being able to assist when others may look the other way. Contact our experienced solicitors today to arrange for a free consultation. We can also assist you in applying for a grant of Legal Aid.
For more information about qualifying for legal aid services, please contact Legal Aid on 1300 888 529 or visit their website.
Other community services
In addition to accepting instructions with Legal Aid assistance and assisting the NSW Legal Aid Commission, we also contribute to the community in a number of other ways.
Law Society Pro Bono Scheme
Phang Legal recognises that quality legal advice and representation is often inaccessible to many individuals due to financial hardship. We attempt to bridge the gap by offering substantially discounted legal services to those in need. We also work closely with the Law Society Pro Bono Scheme, and with local legal centres. Please contact the Law Society Pro Bono Scheme on 02 9926 0379 or email email our Pro Bono Solicitor if you have any enquiries regarding our pro bono services.
Seniors Card
Phang Legal supports the Department of Ageing, Disability & Home Care initiative by offering free Wills or Power of Attorney to holders of the Seniors Card and as part of our estate planning services. We also offer discounts to senior card holders in other areas of law subject to circumstances and need. Supporting and servicing the elderly and aging population is important part of our practice and is part of our commitment to community service.
Religious organisations
Phang Legal has been recognised by several religious and community not for profit organisations for ongoing contribution and assistance. In addition to organisations such as Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul Society, Anglicare, and Hillsong we also support smaller local churches and Christian groups. We actively assist these organisations by donating our time and services to them and their members on a voluntary or reduced rate basis. Please contact Ern Phang if you have any enquiries regarding his personal ministry and providing legal services.
Business Community
Phang Legal continues to develop strong relationships with and invest in the local business community. We are a member of the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce and the Sydney Hills Business Chamber, and we have also been actively involved with BNI. We continue to actively network within business, community and social circles. Our network of influence stretches from the Parramatta and Hills Districts, across the Sydney metropolitan area, interstate and overseas.
