Tell us what has happened. We answer your immediate questions and flag anything urgent, including time limits.
2
A written fee estimate first
Defined work has a fixed fee on our fees page, and anything else is estimated in an engagement letter and costs agreement, so you decide with the numbers in front of you.

We get to work, and keep you informed
If the likely cost changes, we tell you in writing as soon as we know, with the reasons.

“From the first phone call to the last, you deal with senior lawyers, and I oversee every matter myself.”

Family Law in detail
Wills & Estates

Contesting a will

A family provision claim in Victoria must generally be started within six months of the grant of probate or administration. A late claim needs the court's permission, which can only be sought before the estate is finally distributed.

Wills & Estates in detail
Commercial Law

A statutory demand or letter of demand

A company served with a statutory demand has 21 days to pay the debt, secure it or reach a compromise to the creditor's reasonable satisfaction, or apply to court to set the demand aside. If it does none of these, a court hearing a winding up application made within the following three months must presume it is insolvent unless it proves otherwise, so send it, or any court document, to us the day it arrives.
