FAQ
Straight answers.
Do you really quote a fixed fee?
For most matters, yes — property, wills, and straightforward commercial work are quoted as a fixed fee in writing before we start. Litigation is harder to fix in advance, so we'll give you a clear estimate and review it with you at each stage.
How much does a first consultation cost?
The initial consultation is where we scope your matter and give you an honest read on options and cost. Ask us about current consultation rates when you book — we'll confirm before you come in.
Do I need to come into the office?
Not always. We're based in Bayside Melbourne and happy to meet in person, but phone and video consultations are available for most matters.
Can you help if my matter has already started elsewhere?
Yes. We regularly pick up matters from other firms — bring your file along and we'll give you a clear view of where things stand and what's next.
What areas do you cover?
We act for clients across Bayside Melbourne and the wider metro area — Brighton, Sandringham, Hampton, Mentone, Cheltenham and surrounds.
