STEP ONE
Have you got a legal problem? Give us a call, we may be able to help. Our administration team will be able to discuss your options, and arrange telephone advice with one of our solicitors for you. Phone us on 1800 229 529.

STEP TWO
Before we can discuss your legal matter, we have to complete a client intake. In our intake, we ask a series of questions so that the relevant Solicitor knows your issue and how to help. A telephone or face to face appointment will then be arranged.

STEP THREE
Our solicitors will give you a call back or see you at the arranged appointment time.
