Our client came to us after he filed a summons for taxation in the Supreme Court of Victoria, Costs Court, against his former lawyer who had charged him $702,961.40 for a family law matter. We attended a directions hearing, commenced negotiations with a former lawyer, and within 24 hours of sending our first letter of offer, were able to resolve the proceeding by having the fees reduced to $560,676.66 - a reduction of over $142,000. The lawyers also agreed for the outstanding fees to be paid in instalments over a few years. Our client was extremely happy with the result.
