Fixed Fee Court Appearance
When it comes to seeing a lawyer, the billable hour is one of the greatest hates of clients, who often perceive this to be a lack of transparency in lawyer costing. Whilst we feel that it is appropriate, sometimes, to charge matters on an hourly rate basis, for some legal services, we have established a fixed fee regime.
In relation to Court appearances in the Local Court for Criminal or Traffic Law matters, we now offer a ‘Fixed Fee Court Appearance' service, starting from $1650 (including GST), per day of appearance at Court. For many less complicated matters, we expect that we will be able to offer our services at $ 1650 (including GST), for preparation and attendance at one day at Court. Depending on the complexity of your matter and the amount of additional work that we may need to perform, we may need to charge fixed fees that are higher than $ 1650, to cover us for any additional preparation that we may need to undertake. Where we do intend to charge more than $ 1650 per day in Court, we will advise you the proposed higher fee, up-front, in writing and we will seek to negotiate with you a fair and affordable fee.
The advantage of fixed fees is that it takes away the uncertainty and mystery. It is important to us that you know exactly what you will be paying at the end of the day.
The Navado view is that quality legal representation should not be a luxury, but an affordable right.
