It is important that you both trust and entrust the lawyer to do your case justice? Read the following questions to help you choose the best lawyer or attorney for you:

Begin with telling the lawyer the facts to determine your situation status·

Do they have expertise or specialise in the area relating to your case – does it require compensation lawyers or divorce lawyers?

Does the firm have favourable past testimonials or customer reviews? Check out our directory reviews to see what others have reflected.

Will you have one point of contact or will there be a team managing your case?

Ask for quotes to gauge whether their legal fees are within your budget. Do they offer payment plan options?

Use these questions to inform your investigation and search for the best lawyer near you. Choosing a local solicitor near you is always a bonus.

Lawyers - Common Questions

What is the difference between lawyers & solicitors?

In Australia, a lawyer is someone that holds a certificate to practice law including solicitors, barristers, judges and corporate counsel. A solicitor is someone with a practising certificate that is not a barrister or judge.

How can lawyers or solicitors help me?

They work directly with you to provide legal advice on most matters, perform various legal tasks under your instructions and negotiate on your behalf in your best interests.

How much do lawyers charge?

Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to thousands per hour. It depends on your location, type and complexity of the case, experience of the lawyer and size of the firm.

What are the most common types of lawyers?

Corporate lawyers, criminal lawyers, employment lawyers and family lawyers are common in Australia.

Do I need a lawyer?

The legal process is very complex, and lawyers can help ensure that your legal rights are always protected since they have years of education and training to deal with these different aspects of the legal system.
