Repute Law

What sets Repute Law apart from many other criminal defence law firms is our fixed fee
pricing for criminal defence services. Facing a criminal charge can be stressful enough
without uncertainty over legal costs, which can happen when lawyers charge for time
spent on your case. We don’t believe in that. We believe in total transparency from the
start, offering a fixed fee proposal that includes details of the work to be done and how
much it will cost. This is all explained at the outset so there are no unexpected costs
down the line. We don’t like surprises either.

Apprehended Violence Orders (AVO) Fixed Fees

All fixed-fee pricing published on this website relates to the conduct of your matter by a Senior Lawyer appointed by Repute Law.

If you specifically request that the Principal Lawyer conduct your matter or appear on your behalf, this can be arranged. As the Principal Lawyer brings a higher level of seniority, experience and specialist advocacy to the conduct of matters, a higher professional fee may apply in such cases and will be discussed with you prior to engagement.

Unless otherwise confirmed in writing, the published fixed fee does not guarantee the appearance or attendance of the Principal Lawyer.
