Common questions

Good to know

My builder has left defects — what are my options?

You may have rights under your contract and domestic building laws. We can help you document the defects, demand rectification, and escalate to VCAT if the builder will not fix them.

What does the first consultation cost?

A fixed fee of $180 for 30 minutes or $275 for 60 minutes, agreed up front with no hourly surprises. If your matter needs ongoing work, your lawyer will quote you clearly before anything proceeds.

Can we meet online, and in my language?

Yes. Consultations are available by video anywhere in Victoria, and we can arrange a lawyer or interpreter who speaks your language.
