Legal Disclaimer

Last updated: 29 July 2026

1. General information

The My Journey Books website and the books written by Dr Mehdi Soodi provide general educational and informational material only.

They do not constitute legal, migration, visa, tax, accounting, financial, investment, employment, business or other professional advice.

2. No solicitor–client relationship

Although Dr Mehdi Soodi is an Australian lawyer and migration lawyer, your use of this website does not create a solicitor–client relationship.

A solicitor–client relationship is not created by:

• visiting or reading the website;
• purchasing or reading a book;
• submitting a contact form;
• sending an email;
• receiving an automated response;
• making a booking request;
• participating in preliminary communications; or
• receiving general information.

A legal engagement arises only after the relevant legal practice has completed any necessary checks, agreed to accept the matter and confirmed the engagement in writing.

3. Confidentiality and legal professional privilege

You should not submit confidential, privileged, highly sensitive or time-critical information through the general website form.

Although personal information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy, you should not assume that information submitted before a formal engagement:

• is protected by legal professional privilege;
• prevents a legal practice from acting for another person;
• requires a legal practice to act for you; or
• creates a duty to meet a deadline on your behalf.

A conflict of interest or another professional obligation may prevent a legal practice from accepting a matter.

4. Immigration and visa information

Australian immigration law, policy, fees, forms, processing arrangements and administrative practices change regularly.

General information in a book or on the website may not reflect:

• your individual circumstances;
• current legislation or policy;
• recent government announcements;
• current visa criteria;
• current fees;
• processing priorities; or
• evidentiary requirements.

You should obtain advice based on your circumstances before making an immigration or visa decision.

5. Legal information

Legal information may vary according to:

• jurisdiction;
• applicable legislation;
• contractual terms;
• relevant dates;
• procedural rules;
• the available evidence; and
• individual circumstances.

Examples, personal experiences, summaries and commentary are not substitutes for legal advice.

6. Business, tax and financial information

Business, commercial, tax and financial outcomes depend on individual circumstances and may require advice from appropriately qualified lawyers, accountants, tax advisers or financial advisers.

No representation is made that a particular structure, strategy or decision is suitable for every person or business.

7. No guarantee of outcome

Past experiences, case studies, examples or professional observations do not guarantee any particular result.

Legal, migration, commercial and professional outcomes depend on the relevant facts, evidence, decision-maker, law and circumstances.

8. Accuracy and updates

Reasonable efforts are made to provide accurate material. However, no representation or warranty is made that all information is:

• complete;
• current;
• error-free;
• suitable for a particular purpose; or
• applicable to every reader.

Publication dates and stated source dates should be considered when evaluating information.

9. External links

Links to government agencies, professional organisations, retailers and other third-party websites are provided for convenience.

We do not control or guarantee the accuracy, security, availability or content of third-party websites.

10. Urgent matters and deadlines

Do not rely on the general website contact form for urgent or time-sensitive matters.

This includes:

• visa expiry dates;
• court or tribunal deadlines;
• statutory limitation periods;
• settlement dates;
• contract deadlines; and
• government response deadlines.

You remain responsible for protecting your rights and meeting applicable deadlines unless a professional practice has expressly confirmed in writing that it is acting for you in relation to that matter.

11. Limitation

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dr Mehdi Soodi and My Journey Books disclaim liability arising from reliance on website or book content without obtaining advice appropriate to the reader’s circumstances.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
