Initial consultation, fees, and what happens next
Your first appointment at Clothier Anderson will be with one of our Law Institute of Victoria Accredited Specialists, Michael Clothier and Karyn Anderson. During this appointment, your situation will be thoroughly assessed, and the immigration options available to you evaluated. You will have the chance to present any relevant information and ask any questions you have. At the conclusion of the interview, you will have clear advice regarding your situation.
Please telephone Reception to make your initial appointment. The fee for this appointment is $330.00, to be paid in advance.
At the initial consultation, our Accredited Specialists will provide you with advice on your prospects, as well as an estimate of the costs involved in taking the relevant action, and they will choose the most appropriate lawyer at the firm to assist them with your matter, should you choose to proceed with our assistance. The lawyer will be your point of contact during your matter, and will explain the steps to be taken to you in depth.
Our fee estimates are based upon an hourly charge of $330.00 for our lawyers and $440.000 for our Accredited Specialists, multiplied by the number of hours an average case of your type requires. In accordance with the Legal Profession Act 2004, this process is designed to ensure that our clients are informed, to the best of our ability, of the charges that they are likely to incur. It is the policy of Clothier Anderson that any costs involved with your immigration matter must be paid into our trust account prior to our firm taking action on your behalf.
Professional interpreters can be arranged for appointments provided that the costs for this service are paid at least 24 hours in advance. Please call our office to discuss your needs.
