Why Choose Anthony Black Family Law?
How Much Will an Initial Consultation Cost?
Our Fixed Fee Initial Consultation is for 1 hour and it costs $350.
What is an Accredited Specialist?
Accredited specialists are deemed by the Queensland Law Society (the governing body of Solicitors in Queensland) to have extensive experience in the relevant area of law, and have successfully completed an advanced, peer reviewed assessment program specific to their area of expertise.
This assessment process is challenging, but holds multiple personal and professional benefits. Only those practitioners who have successfully completed this assessment can distinguish themselves from their peers by referring to themselves as accredited specialists.
What Are Your Legal Fees After the Initial Consultation?
We are proud of our competitive charges for the quality of services we provide and unlike many other firms we disclose the detail of our fee charges up front.
Special Counsel rate (Accredited Specialist) – $485 plus GST (Tony Black)
Legal Practitioner Director rate (Accredited Specialist) – $465 plus GST (Simone Barbour)
