My Pricing

I encourage you to book an appointment with me to see if we can communicate well and build trust. Sometimes personalities don’t align and it is important that you feel comfortable and at ease with your lawyer. You are welcome to bring family members with you or friends if you believe this will provide you with support. I mainly do telephone appointments as most clients find this more convenient. I do not have a formal office and by working from home and mainly doing telephone appointments, I can pass my savings on overheads onto clients.

For those on Centrelink, I offer a cheaper rate of $275 per hour inclusive of GST. I do need to see your Centrelink card to provide this to my bookkeeper. My standard rate for those who are waged is $385 per hour inclusive of GST. It is important for new clients to understand that the Family Court prescribes a set rate that senior lawyers can charge clients and this is presently very much more than what I charge. I was admitted to the Supreme Court in 2001 so have been doing family law for many years now.

If you are well organised and have all your questions written down with documents in order, you will spend your time with me more efficiently. I will endeavour to keep you informed of all costs and expected costs for each stage of your matter. I do allow payment plans going forward and this can be negotiated. I am happy to talk with all potential clients for a free chat for around ten minutes just to get the lay of the land and see if it is worth your while booking a telephone appointment.
