You get that in writing before work starts — a fixed fee where one is possible, and a clear basis where it is not.

Does the first conversation cost anything?

Tell us what it is about and we will say what that first conversation costs, before it happens.

How long will it take?

It depends on the matter and on other people involved. We will give you a realistic range, not a hopeful one.

Is there a deadline I should know about?

Almost always, and it is the first thing we check. Tell us the dates on any letter you have received.

Can you promise a result?

No. Nobody can honestly promise an outcome, and you should be careful of anybody who does.

Will I deal with the same person?

Yes, one person is responsible for your matter and you will have their details.

How we can help

01Buying and selling property

Contracts drawn and checked, the title confirmed, the taxes and registration dealt with, and the whole thing chased so it does not sit on somebody's desk.

02* Wills and estates

Wills, powers of attorney, and dealing with an estate after a death.

03Family

Separation, children and finances, handled calmly and without making it worse.

04Employment

Dismissals, unpaid wages, contracts and settlements, from either side.

05Business

Contracts, company matters, partnerships and the disputes that come out of them.

06Debt and enforcement

Getting a debt recognised and then actually collected, which are two different jobs.

Agreements, deposits, repairs and possession.

09Documents and residence

Applications prepared carefully, with what is needed listed up front.
