Solicitors - General in Australia

Legal problems vary widely, so begin by asking whether the solicitor regularly acts in your type of matter, or can refer you to a specialist if not. Confirm they hold a current practising certificate. Ask how fees are charged, whether an estimate is available in writing, and what could make the cost change. Find out who will do the work and how often you will receive updates. Bring any relevant documents to the first meeting and write down your questions beforehand. It is also fair to ask whether an initial conversation is offered to explain your options. A listing here is not legal advice or a recommendation.
