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.

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.
