We are a legal firm situated in Nundah which is a North Brisbane suburb and have provided expert and specialist legal services in a cost conscious manner since 1993.
KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING AND PERSONAL SERVICE
As a small practise you will have personal contact with an experienced lawyer who will care for your matter and your desired outcome.
LEGAL ISSUES
With any issue, complaint, dispute or problem we can help you unravel the most cost effective and troublefree process to ensure your goals are met and exceeded. We are able to assist you over the phone, correspondence, email or other communications and are happy to communicate or see you during or after business hours.
Whilst we are a small practice, our local Lawyer Joe O’Hare has had over twenty-five years experience and we are able to provide you a complete legal service to ensure that you not only obtain detailed advice on particular areas of law but also how those areas of law may impact alternative issues or problems that you may encounter including the referral to other professionals, such as, counsellors, accountants, financial planners, etc.
If you have a complaint, a problem or a difficulty that you are uncertain of and is causing concern, please call us so that we may assist you, discuss your options and enable you to move past any troubling issue with the least possible cost and time.
FEES
With any legal issue one of the most concerning matters for you are our fees. In personal injury matters we are able to offer a NO WIN NO FEE arrangement AND WE FUND OUTLAYS wherein our fees and outlays are not payable until the conclusion of the matter and only if we obtain for you a compensation payment. Further, our fees will never exceed the net amount that you receive. You are guaranteed to receive your compensation payment.
We are able to provide a quote in some matters and we maintain that quote for the entirety of the matter. These are:
- Residential conveyancing.
- Uncontested divorce applications.
- Wills
In other matters it is difficult to provide a quotation as these matters are unpredictable and have a substantial amount of work that is either unknown at the first instruction or can vary substantially due to the work to be performed the actions of the opposing party or the Court process. We bill and comply with the Legal Profession Act 2007 and we ensure that we detail the calculation of our fees when we bill and the moneys you need to pay.
We ensure that we provide certainty to ensure that you are not left uncertain or bewildered as to legal fees.
