FAQ

Goldstone Legal is versatile firm, adept at handling cases across multiple domains. We offer services in commercial, property, employment, family, migration and estates.

Sometimes part of a legal problem requires special skill. If we think we can’t give you the best legal answer, we can refer you to someone with expertise to handle your matter. We can also arrange for another lawyer to look after this part of the work, working together as a team.

We may charge for some initial consultations on specific matters. If we do charge, it will be with your agreement. To enquire about our current policies regarding consultation, please contact our office directly. Our fees and consultation policies may be subject to change, and we want to ensure you have the most up to date information. We look forward to assisting you with any questions or concerns you may have.

The duration of your case will depend on various factors, including its complexity, jurisdiction, subject matter and any unforeseen circumstances. Our team is committed to working efficiently while ensuring the highest quality representation. We will keep you informed about the progress and provide realistic timelines as your case unfolds. Rest assured, we will work diligently to resolve your legal matter in a timely and effective manner.

Where it is possible, we will give you a price. We aim to provide fixed fee services for most of our matters, providing you certainty on your legal fees.  For most matters, it is not possible to precisely predict their course and we can’t provide a fixed price. In these circumstances, we aim to keep you up to date on our costing.

Wherever possible, Court is avoided due to its inflexibility. Sometimes however, there can be good reasons to invoke the Court as part of the resolution of a dispute.

None. We pride ourselves on converting the complicated and jargon-filled language of the law into simple terms that anyone can understand. We have been sometimes asked to explain what a lawyer’s letter of advice means to a client as they did not understand anything that was said. We check back on what we are explaining to make sure you understand. Every question will be answered before you have to make any decision.

Sometimes a dispute needs specialised advice because of some unusual and complicated element. Barristers are a great source of specialised legal advice. We frequently recommend their engagement as our matters are usually complex – but not always. Third party engagements are not limited to barristers – we engage forensic accountants, forensic computer specialists, valuers and a vast array of other niche areas of knowledge. All engagements come after you have agreed, and the purpose of the engagement is clear.

No problem. We can meet by video or phone. All documents can be obtained electronically, including email archives. We can come to you and we can meet outside hours.
