How we charge

At Guardian Injury Law, we are always upfront, clear and transparent about legal costs and how we charge.

We understand that many people cannot afford to bring legal proceedings and seek justice.  It is for this reason that we undertake most cases on a “no win, no fee” basis.

We also offer a “first free interview” so you can be comfortable in the notion that it costs you nothing to find out where you stand.

How does “no win, no fee” work?

If you are successful, we will charge for the work undertaken on your case. This is because every case is unique and requires different amounts of work.

We do not charge a percentage of your settlement funds. We also do not engage litigation funders. If we offer to take your case on, we will back it.

In the event you are not successful, we will not charge you for the work undertaken or the expenses incurred in the preparation of your case.

What are my options if my matter is not a “no win, no fee” case?

In the event that your case does not fit our “no win, no fee” case requirements, we will advise you as soon as possible and discuss an alternate fee agreement. This could be a fixed fee or an hourly rate, depending on the type of case and the work required.

Why do we require a “costs agreement”?

At the commencement of your case, we will provide you with a clear breakdown of costs and a costs agreement so that you understand the agreement you are entering into.

We are required by Legal Profession Uniform Law to have a costs agreement with every case, no matter the value of the work to be undertaken. A costs agreement is designed to protect you in relation to the fees you can be charged. It is also important that both you and the firm have a clear understanding of the work to be undertaken and what is required of each other.

When in doubt, ask

It is our philosophy to put our clients at the centre of everything we do. We want you to be as informed and as comfortable as possible throughout your relationship with Guardian Injury Law.

If you have questions about your fees, at any point during your matter, you only need to ask. We will always be transparent and open about fees and we will always be happy to talk through any concerns you may have.
