YFS Legal has been supporting people in Logan and surrounding areas to access justice since 1992.
YFS Legal is a Community Legal Centre providing free one-off legal advice on a range of matters, including family law, criminal law, domestic and family violence, neighbourhood disputes and fines.
In some cases, ongoing support or representation may be available, particularly for young people.
There are some areas we can’t assist with, including personal injury, business matters, immigration, and advice for landlords.
Our services include:
- legal representation for young people aged 10-25
- duty lawyer services
- general legal advice including criminal law, domestic and family violence law, family law and civil matters
- legal task assistance
- outreach programs
- community legal education, workshops and training
- law reform activities.
