Frequently asked questions

• What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

  1Thfirst question with all lawyers is costs. A Lawyer, Barrister or Law Firm must provide a potential client a costs disclosure form, a 1-page short version outlining the costs, disbursements and GST payable. These disclosures are required for job quotes starting at $750 up to $3000 (excludes GST). Cost Estimates over $3000 MUST provide a document called a Costs Agreement ( most lawyers will provide this even if fees are <$3000. If your lawyer hasn’t provided this agreement and/or you haven’t signed it to say you accept it and the lawyer nonetheless starts working on your matter, they aren’t entitled to be paid for this work until the Costs agreement is presented signed b the client as ac spring the terms and returned to the practitioner. 2.

Ask the lawyer to explain exactly what the scope in the costs agreement covers in terms you understand.
