  • What types of legal services do you offer in the Shoalhaven?

    We assist with a comprehensive range of legal matters — from commercial dealings and employment issues to family law, property transactions, wills, estates, and dispute resolution. Whether it’s a personal concern or a business-related issue, our team has the knowledge and experience to help you with your legal needs.

  • Are your fees fixed or hourly?

    That depends on the nature of the work. Some legal services — like conveyancing — often offer fixed fee pricing, while others, such as court matters or complex negotiations, are billed hourly. Across New South Wales, we are always happy to explain how pricing applies to your specific situation.

  • Do you handle property settlements in Shoalhaven?

    Yes. Our team provides professional legal assistance with property transactions across the Shoalhaven region. Whether you're buying a home or finalising a commercial settlement, we work to keep the process smooth, accurate, and on track.

  • What should I bring to my first meeting?

    It’s a good idea to bring any documents that relate to your situation—contracts, identification, written correspondence, or anything else that helps us understand the background. If you’re not sure what to bring, we’ll let you know ahead of time.

  • Do you offer no-win, no-fee services?

    We do for eligible compensation and injury claims. Once we understand your circumstances, we’ll let you know if your matter qualifies for this type of arrangement.

  • Can you help with family law matters like divorce or parenting agreements?

    Yes. Our family law team assists with separation, parenting arrangements, financial matters, and more. We approach each matter with care and a focus on what’s most important to you.

  • Are your lawyers experienced with local council and planning issues?

    Of course. Our experienced lawyers regularly provide legal services across New South Wales involving development applications, zoning, land use, and negotiations or disputes with local authorities.

  • How do I know which lawyer I need?

    You don’t need to figure that out alone. Share a short summary of your matter with us, and we’ll connect you with someone who deals specifically with that area of law.
