Do you need telephone advice?

Our solicitors are able to help you. Telephone advice is a great option for quick and easy advice.

We understand that telephone advice isn’t always the best option. Our administration team will be able to advise what the best course of action is for your situation.

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 appointment will then be arranged.

Step Three

Our solicitors will give you a call back at the arranged appointment time.
