How much?
Our fees are open and transparent for potential clients. We believe you should know the likely costs without having to make an appointment to find out how our fees system works. There are no hidden extras.
For mediation sessions we offer a concessionary fee for those who just miss legal aid. Otherwise, we charge a single fee per person, per session. We believe that this is a fair system in line with how other professions operate. (We don’t see why you should pay more to discuss your children just because you earn more.)
If you pay for an assessment and are found to be eligible for legal aid we will refund the assessment fee.
