·         NOTE:  A one-off legal advice session with a VLA lawyer is free. Victorian Legal Aid has lawyers who can talk to you about how the law applies to your legal matter and what you may be able to do about it. If your legal matter does not fit within their guidelines they may be able to refer you to another service.
