Other Family Law FAQ's
- What is the difference between this law firm and another?
- How do I know my responsible senior lawyer will adopt and stand by the stated culture of the firm?
- How can I make sure my senior lawyer stays focused and passionate about my legal matter but at the same time remains as an objective professional to advise me properly?
- How can I tell if my lawyer does a good job? Most clients simply judge this on responsiveness and speed. Which usually has nothing to do with quality.
- There are some great lawyers and great law firms in Australia that you can engage.
- There are also some average lawyers, and some lawyers were simply overworked to put it at its best.
- As humans, we cannot be good at everything and there are some things that we are not good at.
- However, winning your family law matter requires strategy, planning and a cost-effective evaluation of likely outcomes. In our view, not enough attention is provided to the right strategy.
- Talk to us about the strategy we will have in place which is agreed only after you have evaluated the different approaches and alternatives as an informed choice!
- This defines our legal culture and approach to every client.
- We welcome you to discuss our suggested approach and strategy and compare this with the approach of our competitors.
- For example, for initiating or opposing an application up to the completion of the first court date, the cost can range from $2,512.56 to $3,141.50, depending on the presence of interim orders.
- The fees for attending a hearing can range from $342.19 to $2,512.56 per day, depending on the type of hearing.
- Additionally, there are fees for drafting, conferences, and chamber work, ranging from $277.16 to $721.68 per hour, depending on the level of expertise. Disbursements, such as photocopying and agent fees, are also included in the costs.
Law firms use various strategies to attract clients, including the initial underquoting of fees. Note: Goldman Lawyers do not use these tactics.
When it comes to marketing, law firms focus on making themselves easy to find online through search engine optimization (SEO) and running SEO campaigns to improve visibility in search results
- One common reason for lawyers to initially underquote client fees is the traditional practice of not advertising prices. Many lawyers were trained by those who practiced at a time when advertisements were prohibited.
- Another reason is that lawyers are often hesitant to bind themselves to a flat fee before knowing anything about the client.
- Each client’s case differs in complexity and requirements, and lawyers may need more information before quoting an accurate fee. For example, a divorce case could range from simple and straightforward to complex and involving multiple assets.
- Furthermore, the unpredictable nature of litigation and transactional matters can make it challenging to estimate the amount of work required.
- Disagreements between parties and unforeseen circumstances may arise during the course of a case, potentially prolonging the work. Lawyers may be reluctant to set a fixed fee upfront when they cannot guarantee the duration or complexity of the legal matter.
- Moreover, lawyers may be concerned that advertising prices could lead to a race to the bottom, with lawyers undercutting each other’s rates.
- While this may benefit consumers, it may not be financially viable for lawyers. Lawyers require compensation that reflects their experience, expertise, and the value they provide to their clients.
- In light of these factors, it may not be advantageous for lawyers to advertise their prices upfront (as we do!!!).
In summary, lawyers initially underquote client fees for various reasons, including the traditional practice of not advertising prices, the need to gather more information about the client’s case, the unpredictable nature of legal matters, and concerns about a race to the bottom in pricing.
