The first step is usually an Initial Meeting with us, but not always.
The cost of your Initial Meeting (and whether you will need one) as well as the requirements and total cost of your matter will depend on the service you require as we are not ‘a one size fits all’ type of law firm.
Once you have contacted us, we will be in touch as soon as possible to explore how we can help you and to provide you with a clear plan regarding our recommended next steps as well as our costs.
We can let you know that we will not be the cheapest or the most expensive family law firm that you contact. Our focus is to be on your desired outcome and how to achieve that in the most efficient way. That means working out what you want from the outset, coming up with a clear and transparent plan around the steps and costs, and being proactive throughout.
