Traffic Lawyers Legal Costs

Costs Concerns:

When deciding on how to choose a DUI lawyer, the costs involved is always a big issue for people to consider when deciding to choose a lawyer to represent them. Most people are often worried about being lumped with a massive legal bill at the end of their matter without having any understanding of how much legal costs they had racked up.

Getting back to the issues discussed above about Communication & Honesty, we prefer to disclose everything to you up front at the beginner of the matter before you incur any amount of legal costs.

Fixed Fee Costs:

We generally quote the client a fixed fee which they know they will need to pay before the matter is finalised. A Fixed Fee takes out any uncertainty in what the client is expected to pay for legal representation on the matter.

Prior to commencing any matter we will discuss these Fixed Fee amounts with you and present you with a Costs and Disclosure Agreement as we are obliged to by the Law Society.

Reasonable Traffic Lawyer Costs:

If you decide to engage our firm to act for you you can expect the following:

very reasonable Fixed Fee costs for the service of a very experienced lawyer;
no over charging;
no double billing;
no travel costs;
no additional costs (e.g. photocopying, emails, phones calls etc).

Our Queensland DUI Costs and New South Wales DUI Costs are very competitive with other law firms around. Our Fixed Fees may be more expensive than some legal practitioners around who do not specialise in traffic law and are willing to take on any random matter that comes their way however you will generally find that those lawyers will provide you with a sub-standard level of care and consideration on your case.

That being said we are certainly not the most expensive lawyers around and you should be very wary of any lawyer of barrister seeking to charge you more that $3500 for a standard drink driving matter when there is a plea of Guilty being entered. We may not be the cheapest solicitors around but certainly not the most expensive either, our fees are around middle of the road but as they say you get what you pay for and if you also take on board all of the issues explained here then you should be confident that we are very well equipped to provide you with some of the best legal representation around in this area of law.
