Common questions

Good to know

The council has fined me — can I fight it?

Often, yes. Many council fines and notices can be challenged or reviewed, and we can represent you if it goes to court. Talk to us before you pay or the deadline passes.

Is an EPA prosecution serious?

It can be — EPA offences can carry heavy fines and even criminal penalties for businesses and directors. Early legal advice makes a real difference to the outcome.

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.
