FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The total cost of a family law matter depends on its complexity and how it progresses. Matters resolved quickly and out of court are generally less costly than those that proceed to a hearing. I provide a realistic cost estimate at our free initial consultation and a written costs disclosure under the Legal Profession Uniform Law before any work begins.
I will always discuss fees with you openly at the outset, so you have a clear picture of likely costs before committing to anything. If you have concerns about affordability, I encourage you to ask about Legal Aid eligibility.
Concerned about legal costs?
I believe quality legal advice should be accessible. If you are concerned about costs, please ask me about Legal Aid eligibility or flexible arrangements. Initial consultations are free.
