5 Steps To Find The Right Gold Coast Lawyers For Your Legal Matter

Australia and Queensland have a well-developed and sophisticated legal system, so being generally aware of the legal system before looking for a lawyer is important.


A lawyer is someone who can handle cases in court on behalf of their clients. The cases can be civil (where they represent their clients in disputes with other people or companies) or criminal (representing their clients in criminal proceedings).


Different solicitors have different areas of practice. They might specialise in commercial law, family law, immigration law, corporate law and so on.


Every little detail counts when it comes to hiring solicitors of Gold Coast, QLD. From experience to price, there are many factors involved in deciding which one is best for you. The best way to make a decision is to take all of these factors into consideration and then find the lawyer that works best for you.

Are they experienced?

The first thing you should look for is of course experience. You want someone who knows their trade and won't try to spend your money on things they don't need. You also want someone with experience in the type of case you're looking at. Research their background and ask around if needed before making a final decision.

Are they cost effective?

Next up, you'll want to look at the cost of the lawyer's services so that you can stay within your budget while still getting the legal representation that you need. 

Call them

The best way to scope out if a lawyer is good for you  is to simply call their Gold Coast office and arrange a consultation. Some lawyers offer the initial consultation for Free.

Are you comfortable with them?

One of those important details when looking for solicitors (and often overlooked) is finding one you are comfortable with. On paper solicitors can tick all the right boxes, but when it comes to communication and being compassionate toward your situation it is difficult to gauge.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How to Know When You Need a Lawyer?

    Australian law and Queensland state law are a set of rules that describes, governs, and regulates our lives. It sets out a system of rights and obligations that encompass nearly every aspect of our lives. Most of the time we aren’t aware of these rights & obligations until conflict with other people arise or we need to set up legal entities etc.


    A lawyer is someone who has been educated, trained, and licensed by governing legal authorities to offer legal advice on aspects of the law that relate to your circumstances and perhaps recommend some possible solutions to your matter. Eventually we all encounter a situation where we need some legal advice.


    If you are unsure if you need a lawyer, the best thing to do is ask one. We offer a free consultation to determine if you do need legal help. Better to be safe than sorry.


  • How much does a solicitor cost per hour QLD?

    Solicitors charge clients in a variety of ways. The three most common ways are:

    1. Hourly
    2. Retainer
    3. Fixed-fees

    Traditional law firms focus on hourly, which sadly this can end up being very costly when unexpected complications may arise. Common hourly rates range from about $250 - $600 per hour.


    Newer law firms know what stress this can cause a pivot toward a fixed-fee approach which gives much more transparency and certainty to the end client.


    Typically, before engaging the lawyer, they will outline a cost agreement which will detail all the legal fees. Make sure whoever you approach provides a cost agreement in writing.


  • Can you negotiate lawyer fees?

    Some legal fees are fixed, other fees may be negotiable. The best way to negotiate fees is to lock in a fixed price cost agreement early on based on an estimate of hours. That way if there is a complexity in your case your Lawyer will need to talk with you before charging additional hours etc.


  • What are the 3 types of lawyers?

    There are three types of lawyers in Australia. There are solicitors, barristers and judges.


    What is a solicitor?


    Solicitors deal with both criminal and civil cases and they can come with many specialities the most common lawyers are:

    • Family Lawyers
    • Wills & Estate Lawyers
    • Business & Corporate Lawyers
    • General Practise Lawyers

    Of course there are also lots of specialties like criminal lawyers, copyright lawyers etc.


    What is a Barrister?


    A barrister is a highly specialised legal adviser who advocates for their clients in court and can have a big difference in navigating the process and devising a resolution for a case. That said, a barrister can act in both a judicial (before the Court) or non-judicial (private negotiation or mediation) to resolve any disputes quickly and efficiently. They are often brought in on cases that require a specialist.

     

    What is a judge?


    A judge is an elected or appointed official who carries out court proceedings. They will be impartial & unbiased allowing them to interpret evidence, arguments and implications of a given case.


  • What is the best type of lawyer?

    The best type of lawyers in Australia are ones that are best suited to the needs and preferences of the client.


    There are many different types of lawyers in Australia. However, no two lawyers are alike. This means that you should choose a lawyer based on your personal needs and preferences rather than what other people might do.


    Most people could use General Practise Lawyers who can help with across the board range of law areas (family, wills & estates, commercial etc).


    If you run a successful business or your case is particularly complex a lawyer that specialises in such cases may be required to navigate the process and come up with possible solutions.
