Hi there

If you go to the Law Society of Victoria's website, they will list solicitors by specialist area eg. family law. You can get the first 30 minute appointment for free so you can get some free advice and see if you like the lawyer's approach and especially if they get to the point quickly in language you can understand (otherwise once they take on your case it will get expensive if they waffle on and you're paying by the minute).

Infact I think I got two free appointments with two different lawyers (they were for different issues). From memory, I think there's a limit of three free appointments with three different lawyers.

Oh, and make sure you ask what their rate is once the 30 minutes has expired.
