Questions you might have
How do you structure your fees?
We were among the first Queensland law firms to offer ‘No Win, No Fee’ services. Put simply, you pay nothing until we win your settlement through negotiation with the ‘at fault’ party or, as in most cases, their insurer. Read more about our fees here.
What experience do you have with cases like mine?
To answer this question, we’ll need to learn more about your case or claim. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us more about your case, and we can tell you about similar cases and the outcomes we achieved. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer.
Can you provide references from other clients?
Yes, of course. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us what you’d like to know and the type of client you’d like to hear from, and we’ll gladly provide a reference from them. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer. Or, you can take a look at the “happy clients” on our website.
Do I have to pay for an initial consultation?
No! We will never charge you for your initial consultation. In fact, you pay nothing until you win your case. Our fees come directly from your end result, which means you don’t have to pay anything up front. Read more about our fees here.
Your next step is a small one, but don’t delay
Your next step is a small one. All you need to do is give us a call on 1300 730 845 or complete this form here to arrange a quick chat.
During this initial conversation, we will:
- Have a chat about the circumstances and nature of your injury.
- Give you an indication of your eligibility to make a claim for compensation.
- Explain, in simple terms, how our process works. We will answer
any questions you have about fees, the legal process, and anything else you’re unsure about relating to your injury.
We understand that taking legal action can be stressful, and we’ll do all we can to ease your concerns.
The chat can take place at our place, your place, or by phone. There is no cost, no pressure, and no obligation.
