Managing your costs

Like many lawyers much of the work we do is charged by the hour. There are several ways you can save yourself money over the course of your legal matter.

When you come in for your initial appointment we will give you a brochure on how to save yourself money and time on your matter. Basically this is about planning and preparing for each visit or phone call to your lawyer. The details of what you should do depend on the type of matter. In our first appointment with you we will discuss what needs to be done and when.

To prepare for your first appointment it is often a good practice to write down what your problem is, a history of the events and activities that have happened so far and some ideas of what outcome you are looking for. You don't have to know everything - that's why you are hiring a lawyer. But have a think about the issues and write your thoughts down. And bring in your written thoughts as a reminder for you when you are speaking with us.

Erina Legal uses it's initial appointment with you to assess what sort of matter you have and which is the best way we can help you.
