Frequently Asked Questions

everything you need to know

Will I have to go to court for my civil dispute?

Not necessarily. Many civil disputes in Australia are resolved through negotiation or mediation without going to court. If court proceedings are required, one of our lawyers will support and represent you clearly and effectively.

How long does it usually take to resolve a civil matter?

The timeline for resolving civil matters varies widely based on the complexity of the dispute, the willingness of parties to negotiate, and whether court intervention is required. Typically, simpler cases can resolve in weeks or months, while more complex matters can take significantly longer.

Can I represent myself in a civil dispute?

You can, but civil law can be complex, and self-representation carries risks. Engaging an experienced civil lawyer ensures you fully understand your rights, reduces stress, and significantly improves your likelihood of achieving a positive outcome.

What if the other party doesn’t respond or engage?

If the other party doesn’t respond or refuses to engage, there are legal options available. Your lawyer can help you understand the best course of action, potentially including formal legal proceedings to protect your interests.

If you’re dealing with a legal issue and aren’t sure where to start, we’re here to help. Contact Sambi Legal today to arrange your free initial consultation. We’ll listen to your concerns, explain your options, and help you decide on the next steps.

Learn how we make an impact

Declan McCarthy of Sambi Legal was very professional, efficient and communicated everything to me in ways that helped make the whole process less stressful. His assistance, and that of the whole team at Sambi Legal, is something I would highly recommend to anybody facing legal issues in administrative and civil law. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to have my back.

Sian Kilshaw

It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for Sambi Legal. My case wasn’t easy, it was a tough, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming journey. But having them in my corner made all the difference. What I really appreciated was how clear and straight-up they were with me. No fluff, no confusing jargon — just honest advice and clear communication every step of the way. That kind of honesty is rare, and it builds trust fast. But what really sets them apart is that they care. Genuinely. I never felt like just another case or number, they understood what was at stake for me and fought for me like it mattered to them too. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to have my back.
