When it comes to lawyers, it can be challenging finding transparent legal representation that also suits all your needs.
Thousands could be spent in ongoing legal fees only to see the final bill double, or a final invoice has unexplained charges for administrative tasks, research, meetings, or communication to name a few. The stress of court does not leave much time to investigate, and many people rarely read all the fine print.
That is why Law in Check specialises in providing expert advice and representation for clients who have been unexpectedly overcharged.
Whether you are an individual, small business, or corporate client, we aim to provide the best outcome regardless of your situation.
While definitely not as expensive as Sydney and Melbourne, finding an affordable lawyer in Brisbane can feel infeasible. Clients will find it impossible to trust their lawyers without clear, transparent pricing from the start.
Generally, pricing for lawyers in Brisbane can be anywhere from $200 to $700 an hour depending on their experience, expertise, type of legal matter, the complexity of the case and many other factors. That is not including fixed fee charges that can rack up big amounts, especially if they are charging you for extra services or fees without notice.
Finding a right lawyer who is upfront about their pricing is the first step in getting reliable legal advice. It is always good practice to stay informed about all fees and charges during the legal proceedings.
Our Brisbane team has services for both individuals and small businesses.
Our refund/reduction service on exorbitant legal fees is ideal for our individual or small business clients. Our first step is negotiating with your former lawyer, investigating all invoices, itemised bills, cost agreements, and disclosures, before we can confirm if you are able to get any refunds or reductions on your legal fees.
No matter what, we work to ensure you have been charged fairly for your legal fees.
Have you been charged for a legal service only to notice that you’ve paid double the original quote?
When you received your invoice from your lawyer, did they charge you for strange things like “phone calls” or discussions” without any specifics on what these things did for your case?
We know having a discussion with your lawyer about these bills can be scary, often ending with no outcome at all. If you are overwhelmed and have exhausted all other options, reach out to our cost lawyers in Brisbane to take a look at your invoices.
Our expert team specialises in ensuring the best outcome for all of our new and existing clients, with a vested interest in making sure you understand and are satisfied with any and all legal costs. As lawyers, justice is our driving force.
Our client was initially charged $51,559.19 in legal fees from work undertaken by their family lawyer in December 2019 to October 2020.
The family lawyer had been doing unreasonable work on their accounts. Considering the client had already paid $9,120 into trust, we suggested a counteroffer for our client to pay a further $26,500.
This resulted in a reduction of $15,939.19 from our clients invoices. The best part? This was all finalised within a speedy 6 weeks.
