Legal Overview

Legal

You can find yourself involved in a civil legal process, in a family law matter such as divorce or child custody, or in a civil law matter such as a home repossession or a debt matter. It can be difficult to understand, complicated and very worrying.

We can guide you through the process, support you with the collation of bundles, help you prepare for the court hearings and possibly offer a silent ‘McKenzie friend’ as well as provide legal assistance in some cases.

Disclaimer:

Paperweight is able to help guide clients through the maze of legal processes, providing practical hands-on assistance every step of the way, identifying the right support and helping them understand their options (which may include the need to consult a solicitor).  We can attend Benefits Mandatory Reconsiderations and Appeals with clients, but we do not provide formal legal advice, legal representation or advocacy in courts or tribunals.
