Helping you stay amicable from start to finish
A long, expensive and combative legal process is rarely good for anyone.
At BFLC we place an emphasis on amicable, non-court-based solutions whenever possible.
We’re also fixed fee, meaning you will know the costs of processes, giving you confidence about the decisions you make at every step.
Our initial consultation is $559 (inclusive of GST).
What you can expect from an initial consultation with us…
Expect to meet with your family lawyer (in person, via phone, or video call) for up to 1.5 hours, during which we’ll listen to you, answer your questions, ask questions to understand your goals, and outline potential pathways available to you.
Your initial consultation is not just about legal advice, it’s about helping you feel informed and more in control of your future.
And, if you’re ready, you can walk away with a tailored plan and a fixed price quote to get started on the next steps.
What questions do you have right now?
Here are some of the common questions we hear in the early days:
- Where do we start with this?
- How much will this cost?
- Do I even need a lawyer at this point?
- What happens next?
Everyone we work with starts with a degree of confusion – not really knowing what is ahead of them.
Here’s what you can expect from your very first consultation with one of our lawyers:
- Answers to your most pressing questions
- Up to date advice about your options
- Questions from us so we can tailor our advice to meet you and your children’s needs
- Tips to avoid common missteps
- A tailored plan including recommended next steps, complete with a fixed price quote to get started.
Walk away from your 90 minute consultation feeling informed and supported. Here’s what we hear from people who are amicable and want to stay that way, at the end of their initial consultation…
“That gives me a lot to think about.”
“Í am so glad that I came to this appointment, I feel like a weight has been lifted.”
“I now have more of an understanding of the process.“
“I feel confident now I have the information I need to talk to them about this.”
Our team helps families all around Australia through divorce, separation and all the bits in between.
We specialise in helping our clients find amicable solutions to the end of their relationships, staying away from the Courts and where possible, remaining friends for the future.
This takes courage, and is not for everyone, but separation & divorce is one of the most challenging moments any of us can experience and after 20 years in family law we have come to learn that a long, expensive and combative legal process is rarely good for anyone.
“Thank you for everything, I do feel so much better about the whole situation. At the end of our first meeting I felt like I was in good hands. The BFLC team made me feel so relaxed and happy because you took the time to ask how I was going and it felt so warm and sincere. Everyone else who knows I am going through all of this avoids asking me ‘how are you?’ like the plague. Cant wait to hear from you so I know it’s one step closer again.”
