How Lunch with a Lawyer on Facebook Became a Lifeline for Families in Crisis

In the face of adversity, Carolyn Devries, founder of New Way Lawyers, pioneered a unique solution to support families navigating family law challenges through her Lunch with a Lawyer Facebook group.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, exacerbating domestic violence, separation, and divorce rates, Carolyn recognised the urgent need for accessible legal support. As traditional avenues of assistance dwindled due to lockdowns and service restraints, Carolyn saw an opportunity for Facebook to bridge the gap.

Lunch with a Lawyer emerged as a virtual community legal center, offering a platform for individuals to seek guidance and support from qualified family lawyers. With over 7,000 members and a team of dedicated lawyers, the group provides a safe space for members to ask questions and receive personalised advice, either publicly or privately.

Every weekday from 12pm to 1pm, lawyers from New Way Lawyers are online to address queries, free of charge, ensuring a 100% response rate and providing invaluable assistance to those in need. The group has become a lifeline for many, offering relief from stress and empowering members with the knowledge to navigate their legal challenges confidently.
