We might offer the depth of knowledge only usually found in metropolitan cities, but we don't charge the big city prices. Quite simply, we don't need to. We don't pay the big city rents and trimmings so our savings are passed on to you.

Most firms, and especially those in the CBD don’t limit their fees to those found in the Court Scales which the Government sets. We only set our fees according to the High Court Scale of Fees for litigation matters. Our philosophy is that we are a highly trained community based firm, here to help Coast families and we offer a low cost alternative to the CBD based firms who charge significantly higher fees.

Finally, we take the time to fully understand your circumstances and identify the full scope of work that will be involved in gaining the best possible outcome. We can then provide you with an estimate of total costs. We ensure that you are aware of costs and your rights from the outset so as to help eliminate any nasty surprises.

Our fees for Family law and Litigation matters are charged in accordance with the High Court Scale of Fees.

These scales ensure our clients are awarded a reasonable net result.

It's all part of being a truly local and community based firm.

Information on the High Court Scale of Fees is available at http://www.hcourt.gov.au/registry_07.html

We have a specific fee arrangement in place for Wills. For further information, go to Wills and Estate matters .

For some litigation matters, we will act on your behalf on a "no win/now fee" basis. To find out more about what this means, read No Win No Fee - what does it mean?
