Marrickville Legal Centre

This place took a lot of my details (some personal) over the phone - data collection for what purpose I'd be interested to know.Once I had done this I was promptly told they couldn't help but referred me to another, totally irrelevant, agency.

This is my first time leaving a 1 star review as I believe MLC have a very weak legal advisors. They can only provide legal advise that is easy. I felt that the lady who spoke to me over the phone wanted to put the conversation down as soon as I've pick it up. She started with a big sigh before speaking. I also felt that she didn't want to hear my side of the issue. I am extremely disappointed.

I spoke with 2 people on different days and they were the BEST! They helped me get my payment from my previous employment and I couldn’t thank both of them enough! They were available at night too which was also helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Great and undervalued resource. They were so helpful and reassuring.

Just today has been great at the civil court. He has dealt with high integrity honesty and true care. He provided effective, efficient, very respectful and kind support.

My first 1 star review; disappointing really.As a Marrickville local, I contacted MLC through recommendation for legal advice, which I’m sure they’re being subsidised by the government for (like many of the other programs like NEIS)…. Surely a government cash grab it seems.To meet eligibility there was a questionnaire, and after informing the person on phone that the company I run had a high gross turnover but my personal income is low (due to the nature of how the business works - everyone knows, NET reflects your income more accurately than gross)… I suddenly didn’t meet their and their “roster was full”.Clearly something that would have been mentioned at the start of the phone call if it was actually true (they didn’t even ask me about the case I had in question…). Also seemingly a personal choice, rather than actually giving me the opportunity to provide my tax documents to show that surely I’d meet the income requirements.I asked to talk to the supervisor who made the call, but they were apparently too busy, even though it’s surely within their duty to address matters like this.Unless it’s too difficult a task to assist somebody in need, which surely is the purpose of the service in the first place.I invite MLC to contact me directly to resolve or share transparency on the situation, but at this stage I have no choice but to share my frustrations and experience.Not something I like doing negatively, but I’m without options now.

Wonderful tenancy advocate / legal advice (and solid effort) from Nikki (and volunteers). I've been pretty cash-strapped of late in the context of the increasing cost of living, amongst other personal issues, and these guys are just angels. I'm feeling blessed, relieved and amazed for the care, compassion and help that was given to me whist I was dealing with my specific rental/housing problem. I absolutely recommended these legends!

Somewhat robotic legal advice...they told me to follow a process which I knew already and existed in the public domain.Advice was circular and they did not give me a real answer as to the legality of my issue.I had a query on challenging a bill and the advisors response was that , it's not that much". What a strange response from a legal professional
