Established 1998
We handle wills, estates, divorce and family matters for people who'd rather understand what's happening than be impressed by it. The first conversation is free and comes with no obligation.
What we do
We deliberately keep the practice narrow. If your matter falls outside these, we'll tell you at the first call and point you to someone who handles it properly.
Drafting wills, setting up trusts, and administering an estate after a death — including the paperwork nobody warns you about.
Financial settlements and separation agreements, handled without making a difficult situation worse than it needs to be.
Custody arrangements and parenting agreements, with a strong preference for resolving things outside a courtroom.
Putting the right authority in place before it's needed, so decisions can be made when someone can't make them alone.
Fees
Most firms won't publish this. We do, because "it depends" is not an answer anyone can budget against.
Consultation, drafting, and signing. Mirror wills for a couple are $680 together.
Financial or health-care authority, drafted and registered. Both together, $520.
Billed in six-minute units, itemised monthly. We'll estimate the total range at the first meeting.
Who you'll deal with
"People arrive at a solicitor's office on the worst week of their year. The least we can do is explain things in words they already know."
Marguerite has practised family and estate law for twenty-two years, the last fourteen at this firm. She takes on a deliberately limited caseload so that every client speaks to her directly rather than being handed down a chain.
Get in touch
Twenty minutes, no obligation, and no charge. We'll tell you honestly whether you need a lawyer at all — sometimes the answer is no.
