Questions Adelaide families ask us

Yes. The first 30-minute consultation is at no charge, whatever your matter. You meet the right lawyer, explain your situation, and leave knowing your options and likely costs before you commit to anything.

For conveyancing, yes, fixed-fee as standard. For family law and wills and estates, fees depend on the matter, and we set these out clearly after your free consultation so there are no surprises.

It depends on whether both parties agree on arrangements for children and property. Straightforward matters can resolve in weeks through mediation; contested matters through the courts take longer. We give you a realistic timeframe after hearing the details.

No. Many families resolve parenting and property matters through mediation, without going near a courtroom. Catherine Hale, our accredited family law specialist, can advise whether mediation suits your situation.

You and the other party meet with a mediator to work through parenting or property arrangements directly, with legal advice available throughout. It is often faster and less costly than litigation.

Your estate is distributed under a fixed legal formula, which may not reflect your wishes. Daniel Okafor, our senior associate in wills and estates, can draft a will that sets out exactly what you want.

Yes. Marriage, separation, divorce and new children are the most common reasons a will stops reflecting your wishes. We recommend reviewing your will whenever your family circumstances change.

Timeframes depend on your contract dates and finance conditions. Our conveyancer, Sophie Tran, manages the settlement process and keeps you informed of every step and deadline.

Yes. We regularly manage conveyancing for Adelaide home buyers who are selling one property and buying another, coordinating both settlements where timing allows.
