Expertise

We live and breathe
compensation
matters.

Trilby Misso was Queensland’s first law firm to focus 100% on our areas of law.

We know it inside out, which is why we’re able to achieve an outcome faster than average.

We’ve always aimed to make life better for our clients by doing all we can to help, providing a dedicated and compassionate team in your corner.

Understanding
Our Fees

We believe in being clear from the start. Here’s what our No Win No Fee promise means:

  • When do you pay?
    Only if your case is successful. Nothing is paid upfront.
  • What about outlays?
    We cover costs like medical reports and expert assessments during your case, so you’re not out of pocket.
  • Do you charge an uplift fee?
    No. In Queensland, some firms add up to 25% extra as an “uplift fee.” At Trilby Misso, we never do.

You pay nothing until you win.

Why Choose Trilby Misso Lawyers

What does “no win no fee” mean?
It means you don’t pay us anything unless the matter is successful.
Do you charge an uplift fee?
No. Other firms may charge up to 25% more in Queensland, but we never do.
What is the 50/50 rule in Queensland?
The 50/50 rule is a safeguard under Queensland law that limits how much of your compensation can go towards legal costs. It ensures your lawyer can never end up with more than you.
Are contingency percentages legal in QLD?

No. Lawyers in Queensland can’t take a fixed percentage of your compensation. Fees must reflect the actual work done.

What happens if I don’t succeed?

You don’t pay us anything. The only exception is if a court orders you to cover the other side’s costs, which is uncommon but possible. 99% of the matters we handle are settled by negotiation.

How long will the process take?
Most matters take between 12 and 18 months, but it depends on things like liability, medical evidence, and negotiations.
Can I switch lawyers mid-case?
Yes. If you’re not happy, you can change lawyers. The new firm usually works out costs with the previous one.
What should I ask before signing a No Win No Fee agreement?
  • The legal process applicable to your situation;
  • Your prospects of success;
  • Time lines;
  • Any important deadlines; and
  • The terms of the no win no fee arrangement.
In terms of the no win no fee arrangement, it is important to understand:
  • How does the lawyer charge for their work, eg time based, task based;
  • When will you be obliged to pay legal fees;
  • What happens if you lose your claim;
  • Does the law firm fund any legal outlays (eg medical report fees and search fees), or
  • are you expected to fund that upfront;
  • If the law firm funds the outlays, do you have to pay for them if you lose your claim;
  • Does the law firm charge an uplift fee, and what percentage is that uplift?

Here’s how our legal process works:

  • We chat

    It’s a free consultation.

  • We meet

    A free detailed discussion.

  • We plan

    You say ‘go’ – we build your case.

  • We lodge

    We present
    your case.

  • We conclude

    We reach a settlement.

You pay nothing until you win

We’ll also provide certainty and clarity, with a fee structure that has no ‘uplift’ fee, ever. You’ll pay nothing ‘til your claim is won.
