HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST ME?
We provide you with certainty and clarity around your legal costs.
How Much will this Cost?
It is entirely understandable if this is one of your first questions. Legal costs can feel daunting. From the outset, I want to ensure you have certainty about your costs. I don't offer a cut-price, bargain- basement, service. There is value in what I do and the customised, unique solutions I find for you. However, I do aim to help you control your costs without limiting the sense of care you experience with me. How do I do this?
I start by getting to understand you and your situation.
I then work out what will need to be done to get the job completed well for you.
I take into account your goals, how urgently you want things done by, how much you want me to be involved and that the law can be tricky.
I am upfront.
You are given a fixed fee for meeting with me for an initial consultation.
I will then prepare you a plan that sets out what you will be charged. If you are on a fixed fee, this will include what each payment covers and when payments will be due. If things change, I will be sure to discuss this with you.
You may be keen to do as much as possible yourself. I get that. But even the best DIYer occasionally needs some professional guidance.
With my Guided Resolution service , you choose when to bring me in and what you’d like help with.
You stay in control of your costs, while getting the professional support you need.
Paying Your Costs on Settlement?
I am proud to have partnered with JustFund to provide a practical and compassionate solution for clients who need support covering their legal costs. Through our partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to help manage their legal fees and expenses with nothing to repay until after a settlement is reached. Unlike traditional lenders, JustFund does not look at income or credit scores to approve funding support for family law matters.
I do not receive any rewards or other benefits from JustFund as a result of clients using their service. I just like to ensure my clients have as many options as possible to help them through what can be a difficult time financially and emotionally.
