Choosing the right lawyer is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. By selecting Dawes & Vary Riordan, who has a number of Law Institute of Victoria Accredited Personal Injury Specialists, you can be assured of selecting a lawyer who is formally recognised for excellence in their field. A LIV Accredited Personal Injury Specialist is a lawyer who, in addition to having extensive practical experience, has completed an advanced study program in personal injury law.
We can assist you with the negotiation and documentation for your business transactions.
Many matters will be dealt with on a "fee for time" basis. You will be billed for the time the lawyer actually works on your file. Your lawyer will, prior to beginning work for you, inform you of both the hourly rate and give you an estimate of the cost to complete the matter.
Dawes & Vary Riordan works closely with many other professionals and often will be able to assist in referring clients to: lawyers practising in fields we do not; forensic accountants; actuaries; human resources consultants, real estate agents; registered valuers; and mortgage brokers.
At Dawes & Vary Riordan, we believe that our clients are entitled to be fully informed of the cost of legal services both before and during our solicitor-client relationship. We recognise the cost of legal services is an important factor for clients and maintain a commitment to charging fees which are fair, competitive and satisfactory to our clients. Clients are encouraged to raise any questions they may have about fees at any time.
With some matters, we may be able to quote you a "fixed" fee before we begin work on your behalf. Fixed fees are common in property transactions and certain corporate and commercial transactions.
If you are a beneficiary of the will you are entitled to know the progress of the administration and to be provided with accounts by the executor. Often though executors do not provide this information and if a beneficiary is concerned then the executors can be made to comply with their obligations.
Negligence is a very specific concept, and not every failure or error made by a health care provider will be negligent. The key question will be whether the care or advice fell below a level which was widely accepted as competent treatment by a peer opinion at the relevant time, in Australia.
Solicitors generally prepare a case and a barrister usually argues the case in court. However, there are solicitors who do both.
