A family lawyer charged our client fees of $336,784.80 for just under 3 months' work.
Before any substantial work of drawing objections or attending mediation was carried out by us, we were able to reach settlement representing a reduction of $116,784.80 from the fees charged by the solicitor plus a contribution of $7,500 towards the costs charged by us.
We were able to reach this settlement in within a month of our engagement.
