Pricing

We believe that high-quality legal support should be accessible for all individuals. We are committed to providing exceptional legal services with a focus on affordability and transparency. That is why we offer competitive pricing and clear fee structures for our services.

Hourly Services

It is important to find a lawyer who is not only a skilled advocate but also someone who can assist you to reach a quick resolution with clear advice. We understand that family law matters involving parenting and property are deeply personal and often complex.

For our family law property and parenting cases, we charge for our time at a competitive hourly rate. This allows us to dedicate the necessary time and attention to your specific situation, ensuring a comprehensive and tailored approach.

To give you a clear understanding of your legal costs, we offer a free initial appointment. During this meeting, we can discuss your unique circumstances and provide you with a detailed Disclosure Statement and Costs Agreement. This ensures you are fully aware of the potential costs at every stage of your matter, giving you peace of mind and full control as we work together to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.

A Smarter, Flexible Way to Fund Your Family Law Matter

We also understand that legal costs can be a significant concern during an already challenging time. The financial strain from a relationship breakdown can sometimes stand in the way of getting the legal representation you need. To help make our services more accessible, we have partnered with JustFund, Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law legal fees.

Through this partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation or relationship property proceedings. You don’t have to repay the loan until you reach a settlement, which we hope reduces the stress associated with paying costs upfront.

Contact us for more information, or visit JustFund.com.au.

If you would like to get started, you can complete our Intake Form here: Hartleys Lawyers Prospective Client Questionnaire – Express.

Fixed Fees

In some circumstances for specific work, we are able to offer fixed-fee services. Our fixed-fee approach means you’ll have a clear understanding of your legal costs upfront, helping you feel more in control and confident as we work through your case together.

Our fixed-fee services include:

  • Divorce
  • Estate Planning Documents (including Wills and Power of Attorney)
  • Court appearances

 

If you or someone you know wants more information or needs legal help or advice, please contact our Intake team on (03) 8415 5600 or email us at reception@hartleyslawyers.com.au.

After answering a few initial questions, we would be happy to book a free first appointment at a convenient time either on the phone, via video conference, or at one of our many offices.

I cannot recommend Hartleys Lawyers highly enough, especially Josh, who represented me throughout one of the most difficult periods of my life. My family law matter was long, complex, and emotionally exhausting. From the very beginning, Josh demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, integrity, and dedication. He always took the time to explain every step of the process, answered my questions with patience, and provided honest advice that gave me confidence during an incredibly challenging journey. What I appreciated most was that Josh genuinely cared not only about the legal outcome, but also about the well-being of my son and me. Throughout the entire case, my priority was to protect my child, and thanks to Josh's guidance, strategic advice, and unwavering commitment, we achieved that goal despite the obstacles we faced along the way. Josh also worked tirelessly to pursue an order for costs and to recover a significant portion of the legal fees I had incurred. Thanks to his persistence, careful preparation, and advocacy, we were successful in achieving that outcome as well. His commitment extended beyond simply resolving the case; he continued fighting to ensure I obtained the best possible result. Family Court can be an overwhelming and hostile experience, but having a lawyer who is compassionate, calm, highly skilled, and genuinely invested in his clients makes all the difference. I always felt that my son's best interests remained at the centre of every decision. I am deeply grateful to Josh and the Hartleys Lawyers team for their exceptional legal representation, professionalism, and humanity. They not only helped me protect what matters most, my son, but also stood beside me through every challenge with integrity and compassion. If you are looking for a family lawyer who combines exceptional legal expertise with genuine care for his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Josh and Hartleys, Lawyers.

We recently used Hartleys Lawyers (Stephen Thomas) for what rapidly became a complex conveyancing issue. The calm, clear and concise guidance we received alleviated a lot of stress on our part and led to a successful resolution of the issues. Communication was easy, timely and responsive. We could not have been happier with the way this difficult situation was handled and have no hesitation warmly recommending both Stephen and Hartleys.
