the law in plain english

The legal system can be complicated.

Getting legal advice shouldn't be.

La ley, sin vueltas

El sistema legal es complejo.
Encontrar ayuda legal no debe serlo.

"Legalese" is confusing in every language.

In English o en español, we'll translate it for you.

No filter, just plain and simple.

Pápico is Francisco's legal consulting practice – built for the moment you have a problem and no idea where to start.

We talk it through, figure out what you need, and make it happen. Sometimes that's Francisco taking your case. Sometimes it's a conversation that cuts through the confusion and maps your next move. Sometimes it's connecting you with exactly the right person.

In English, en español, wherever the conversation goes.

You always leave with a clear next step.

Step by step

Let's figure it out together.

01

Tell me what's going on

For me to help you, I need to understand clearly what's going on.

02

We'll work out what you need

Together, we'll make sense of where you stand legally.

03

You'll leave with a plan

I'll give you your options and legal advice, you choose what's next.

No matter what, you won't leave empty-handed.

The Papi of Pápico.

I'm Francisco. I'm a personal injury lawyer, but helping people figure out where to start and where to go next is what I really love doing.

I grew up in Melbourne with Chilean parents, speaking Spanish at home and English everywhere else.

I've spent over a decade in law, on both sides of the personal injury system; I know how insurers think, and I know how to fight them. I built Pápico because I kept watching people go under-served. Injured workers who didn't know their rights. Spanish-speaking families who couldn't find help in their language.

People who just needed someone to sit down with them and explain what the hell was going on. That's the job I actually love.

The Real Impact.

I was incredibly lucky to be connected with Francisco Droguett Arias, who speaks both English and Spanish fluently. That made a huge difference for me. Francisco was knowledgeable, attentive, and confident in handling my case.

– V, Chilean in Melbourne

Have had the pleasure in dealing with Francisco for what seems the longest time. I cannot thank him enough for his support and understanding. If you need someone on your side, here is the man for you.

- K, Australian in Melbourne

I would highly recommend Franciso. He is easy to talk to, extremely understanding, a very good communicator clearly explains every detail and every option available. Most importantly, it was refreshing to discuss my claim with someone who actually cared.
