Fees & Pricing
See below details of our fees and pricing structure.
Criminal Law
In criminal law matters, we are able to offer fixed pricing costs for services such as traffic matters (including drink and drug driving and licence appeals), sentence matters and matters which are proceeding to a Hearing because you are pleading not guilty. Please contact our office to obtain further information. The initial consult fee is $220 and this fee will be deducted from your overall fixed fee if you decide to move forward with our representation.
All of our criminal law practitioners are members of the Legal Aid Crime Panel of Solicitors who can conduct legally aided work. If you think you may be eligible for Legal Aid, click the link below and complete the Application form. You will need to return the Application form together with your last 3 months' bank statements and either two (2) recent pay slips or your latest Centrelink Income Statement.
If you are unsure whether you might be eligible, you can complete the online Means Tests Indicator using the below link.
Family Law
Unfortunately, at this stage, we are unable to offer Legal Aid for Family Law matters.
We can however offer some fixed priced services such as preparation of Parenting Plans, Binding Financial Agreements and Applications for Consent Order where limited negotiations are required or agreement has already been reached.
Your lawyer is also able to give you a more accurate assessment of your possible costs following our initial appointment and will thereafter issue you with a Costs Agreement outlining the estimate of your costs and disbursements in your matter.
The initial consult in Family Law matters is $440 and includes an hour with your lawyer as well as a letter of advice confirming your options going forward.
