★★★★★ Lifesaving Lawyers: Everything was on the line. My wealthy, scheming ex had tricked me into a position of weakness and had commenced the formal process to attempt to evict me from my own home, simultaneously pressuring me to accept his low-ball settlement offers. After I engaged James D. Ford, Esq. at Blue Ocean, everything slowly started turning around, starting with the looming threat of eviction in California being removed. Mr. Ford and the entire Blue Ocean team were absolutely professional at all times, listening and fully absorbing the details of my story, my drowning in a constant stream of litigation motions in California, combined with my uncertainty regarding my legal rights in Australia. After 2.5 years of litigation to date, our combined efforts have culminated in a major courtroom victory, which effectively means that I will now be paid my full & fair legal entitlement.

An illegal website is trying to use our name [a US-hosted duplicate of the entire business eCommerce Website] to gain advantages and scam customers. All the major search engines ignore it. James has initiated a DMCA takedown and will resolve the issue within one week. [Details Added for Clarity]. He understands how things work and knows the reason behind the issue.

General FAQ

How do I provide for care of my Pet/s if I lose capacity?

Long-term Care for your Pet/s

✅ If you lose capacity …

Formal Arrangements

Plan A ➲ EPOA

Ensure you are able to keep your Pet/s with you [as long as possible] by providing specific written directions ahead of time and including financial provision for the support of yourself, your Pet/s long-term care, maintenance, health + pet insurance + potentially your Pet/s carer in your Enduring Power of Attorney [EPOA] / NT Advance Person Plan.

Informal Arrangements

Plan B ➲ Friends or Family

Plan C ➲ RSPCA

Think of setting up an informal arrangement with the RSPCA as a back-up plan just in case for some reason your friends or family circumstances change and they are no longer in a suitable position to take on the responsibility for long-term care of your Pet/s.
