Centre Rd Bentleigh
I am a sole practitioner, of over 22 years experience in the law. I mainly practice in the following areas
Litigation (including commercial disputes) In all jurisdictions- I also lecture in the Law
Commercial ( sale of business, retail and residential tenancy, IP including trade marks, and franchising)
Employment Law unfair dismissal, discrimination, drafting of Employment contracts.
Wills and estates, including drafting of wills powers of attorney and administer estates (wills are $165 for one - $210 for two incl GST)
Conveyancing - fixed price conveyancing for vendor /purchaser- $440 plus disb.
Crime most Magistrates /Summary offences (legal aid work included)
I am registered with the Law Institute Legal referral service.
I do nott have the expense of City firms (reception, CBD rental, expensive library) and other unnecessary expenses. I travel to you if preferred.
Unlike other firms I don not charge for photocopying, faxes, and postage, and critically, I do not charge in 6 minute units- where you ring a lawyer speak to him for 1 min or 7 mins and get charged for 6 or 12 minutes!
When you ring my office you get me, directly- not reception, or get a secretary only to never have your call returned.
On account of minimal overheads my rates are probably the lowest in Melbourne. I presently charge $150 /hr (plus GST). For welfare clients the rate can be even lower by negotiation, including the possibility of no win no fee arrangement.
If you think I can help email or ring me.
