Am I better off having a lawyer physically located in Kempsey?
Not necessarily. Family law is administered within a federal court system, and much of the process is conducted electronically. What generally matters more is the lawyer’s experience, preparation and approach.
How do Bryant McKinnon’s fees work?
Where possible, we work on a fixed fee basis. We scope each stage of work in advance so you understand what is included and what it will cost.
This gives you clarity about costs from the outset.
If circumstances change, we discuss this with you before any additional work is undertaken.
Do I need to commit to anything before seeing a lawyer?
No. Many clients begin with a preliminary consultation to understand their position before deciding how to proceed.
You are not required to formally retain us or commit to a lengthy legal process to obtain advice. The initial meeting is designed to provide clarity so you can make informed decisions about next steps.
Can I access information before deciding to see a lawyer?
Yes. We provide a range of practical resources, including FAQs, guides and downloadable materials, to help you understand the family law process.
You can access these resources here:
• Downloadable Resources
• Family Matters Podcast
These materials are designed to give you clear information so you can make informed decisions about your next steps.
If you are in Kempsey or the Macleay Valley and need family law advice, a preliminary consultation is often the best place to begin.
