Fees

Hiring a good Solicitor shouldn’t add to your stress. At Hanna Lawyers we do not take fees upfront into trust and provide you with a disclosure of our estimated legal costs that are accurate, based on our experience.

There are two types of ways that Solicitors charge; fixed fee and charging for actual time spent on a matter.  Our fixed-fee pricing means that you don’t have to worry about any hidden fees and the quote we provide you at the outset of your matter is inclusive of all of your legal costs.  We offer fixed fee pricing in some areas of law that we practice including:

In litigation matters, including civil claims and family law matters, we charge for the actual time we spend on your file. We offer different rates for our Solicitor’s different levels of experience. We also spend time with you to determine the nature of the claim, offered to you at no charge, so that we can give you clear advice from the beginning of your claim about the most appropriate pathway. It might shock you to hear that where we consider that your legal fees will outweigh the benefit of perusing a claim, we will tell you before you engage our services.

When we charge for our time, like most Solicitors, we charge in six (6) minute increments, but we are fair to you and lump small tasks together so that costs remain reasonable. We also offer a pay as you go option, where we issue interim bills to you so you can keep on top of your fees. Where your money is tied up in an asset, we will work with you to defer payment, where appropriate.

Please contact us if you have any questions about fees. Check out some of our fixed fee prices below.
