Why speak with a lawyer in your preferred language?
Legal problems often involve personal history, technical documents and strict deadlines. Speaking in Sinhala can make it easier to provide complete instructions and ask questions. It can also reduce the risk of misunderstanding important facts.
Important: Court documents, visa applications and other official documents may still need to be prepared in English. Documents issued in Sinhala may require an accredited or otherwise legally acceptable English translation, depending on their intended use.
Consultations throughout Australia
Australanka Lawyers offers telephone and online consultations to clients throughout Australia. The firm is based in Victoria. Whether the firm can formally act in a particular proceeding depends on the court, tribunal, jurisdiction and circumstances of the matter.
For an initial assessment, provide a short chronology, relevant notices or orders, important dates and any approaching deadline. Do not delay seeking advice where a court, tribunal or Department of Home Affairs deadline may apply.
