About Request Legal Service
Connecting Australians with the right legal help — simply, quickly, and confidentially.
Request Legal Service is a legal referral service operating across every state and territory. We match people facing legal problems with qualified Australian lawyers for free, confidential initial consultations — so you can understand your options before making any decision.
What We Do
We are not a law firm. We are the connection point.
Most people facing a legal problem don't know where to start. They don't know which type of lawyer they need, whether they can afford one, or whether their problem is even worth pursuing. We solve that problem.
When you submit a request, we match your legal issue with a qualified Australian lawyer who practises in that specific area — in your state. The lawyer contacts you for a free consultation where you can explain your situation and understand your options, with no obligation to proceed.
We cover all major areas of Australian law — family law, criminal law, employment, immigration, personal injury, property, business disputes, wills and estates, and more.
Free initial consultation
Every match connects you with a lawyer for a free first consultation — no cost to you for understanding your situation.
Confidential
Your enquiry is treated as confidential. We do not share your information with anyone other than the lawyer matched to your request.
All states & territories
We connect with lawyers who are admitted and practising in your jurisdiction — not interstate lawyers unfamiliar with local practice.
Area-specific matching
A family lawyer is different from a criminal lawyer. We match you to a lawyer who specialises in your specific legal issue — not a generalist.
How It Works
Three steps from problem to consultation.
Most people who submit a request hear from a matched lawyer within one business day. For urgent matters — bail, court dates this week, imminent deadlines — mention the urgency and it will be prioritised.

Why Request Legal Service
What we do — and what we don't.
We believe people should understand their legal position before making decisions — not after. That requires access to the right lawyer at the right time.
We are not a law firm
Request Legal Service does not provide legal advice. We connect you with independent qualified Australian lawyers who provide that advice directly. Every lawyer matched through our service is responsible for their own professional obligations, including the duty of confidentiality.
No pushy sales or surprise fees
The initial consultation arranged through our service is free. If you decide to engage the lawyer, the fees and terms are agreed directly between you and the lawyer. We do not take a percentage of fees, add mark-ups, or have any financial arrangement that affects which lawyer is matched to you.
Matched by area and jurisdiction
Law is jurisdiction-specific. An employment lawyer in Queensland operates under different rules to one in Victoria. We match you with a lawyer who is admitted and actively practising in your state or territory — not with a national generalist unfamiliar with local rules and courts.
Urgent matters handled urgently
Many legal matters have fixed deadlines — a court date, a time limit to lodge a claim, a police interview tomorrow. When you describe urgency in your request, that context is passed to the matched lawyer and your request is prioritised. We understand that legal emergencies exist.
Your information is confidential
The information you share in your request is used solely to match you with an appropriate lawyer. We do not sell, share, or use your personal information for any marketing purpose. Our Privacy Policy sets out exactly how we handle your data in compliance with Australian privacy law.
No obligation after the consultation
The free consultation is a genuine conversation — not a sales pitch. If you decide not to proceed with the lawyer or that your matter does not warrant legal action, you are under no obligation to do anything further. The consultation is for your benefit, not ours.
