Our clients' former lawyer charged fees totalling $140,612.57 for work carried out in their civil law proceeding in Perth, WA.
We were out of time to seek assessment, however the law firm were willing to negotiate and agreed to waive an unpaid amount of $12,764.06 and refund a further $12,000 along with paying $5,000 toward our costs.
The parties were able to agree that the total legal costs would be $115,848.15, leading to an 18% reduction plus the $5,000 in costs.
All this occurred within 6 months of our engagement.
