Fees

Legal Costs can be crippling in poorly managed cases. Paul provides all clients with a written Cost Agreement, which complies with the Legal Practitioners Act.

​

It sets out a competitive scale of fees for Final Hearings, Interim Hearings, Office work such as conferences, drafting documents and advices. Your rights are explained to you in the Cost Agreement.

​

For those more complex matters Paul will discuss in advance the fees to be charged.

​

Paul will always confirm about the costs involved as the case progresses, so that a client can weigh up the balance between proceeding or resolution at that stage of the matter.

​

Inquiries about fees are always welcome before committing to giving instructions. Legal Aid briefs, usually in Independent Childrens Lawyer matters are accepted by arrangement beforehand.
