How much do lawyers cost in Queensland?

One of the first questions on anyone’s mind when they walk through our doors is, "What is this going to cost me?" It’s a completely fair question, but the honest answer is that it’s rarely a one size fits all figure. In Queensland, legal costs fluctuate significantly depending on the area of law you’re dealing with and the scope of work required. For example, straightforward family law property consent orders is going to come at a very different cost when compared to a complex family law parenting dispute that might involve interim hearings, a family consultant’s report, a Family Dispute Resolution Conference and a final hearing. The scope of work and the specific twists and turns of your case are what ultimately drive the final cost, which is why you’ll see such a wide range of pricing across the industry.
