WHAT OUR PEERS SAY

PRICING

We are all about providing a simple, stress-free service and a streamlined separation process.

Over the years, we have come to realise that many of our friends and family would struggle with legal fees if they ever had to engage a family lawyer. So in response, we have created a firm that is accessible, affordable and 100% fixed fee.

We consider what we need to do to get the job done right. We check that every ‘i’ is dotted and every ‘t’ is crossed. We are thorough and conscientious. We are not a DIY service. The law is complicated and helping you is all part of the process.

We care. We go that extra mile. You may not always remember every word we said to you after the dust has settled on your agreement, but you will remember how we made you feel.

We want to make a difference. We don’t think it’s fair to charge $100 for a 10-minute phone call. In fact, all phone calls (and emails) are part of our fixed fees. You can email or call us without worrying about racking up the costs.

We factor in our running costs. We consider your needs but also how much we need to keep us in business and continue to offer an awesome service.

We value transparency and our fixed fees are provided to you upon engagement so you know what your fees will be, every step of the way. We we will always have that conversation with you up front to find the pricing model that will fit your needs.
