In general, matters associated with Family Law are charged on an hourly basis according to the amount of time that the Lawyer spends on your particular matter.
Our Fixed Fee option gives you peace of mind with respect to your legal fees which allows you to know up front what service we will provide for you and how much we will charge for that service. In order to achieve a Fixed Fee arrangement, we arrange a meeting with your appointed lawyer where your requirements are discussed and a plan is produced showing you what needs to be done, how much time has been allocated to it and what it will cost.
Your fee will reflect what has been agreed between you and your Lawyer for the work done.
As best as possible, we will ensure you are aware of any unplanned circumstances that occur along the path.
Knowing your fee upfront allows you to financially plan for it and get on with other aspects of your life.
Understanding how much time is allocated to each phase of your matter ensures that both you and your Lawyer work in accordance to the plan and avoid unnecessary costs.
Being able to know your fee and understand what is included in your fee, it is easy to identify any issues not initially planned for and price them accordingly. This way our price does not include costs associated with things that may or may not happen.
