Getting the visa process right is important from the very beginning, so it is sometimes worth getting professional advice. With the team at Estrin Saul Lawyers (one of Australia's largest immigration law firms), you are in safe hands; our immigration lawyers and agents provide you with clear and pragmatic advice from the start of the process to save you the unnecessary expense and delay of putting things right further down the line.
Pricing Estrin Saul Lawyers generally work on fixed fee agreements. Our fees depend on the complexity of your matter and the time involved. Our first step is usually an initial consultation with our lawyers and consist of:
- a one hour meeting to discuss your situation;
- a review of your case;
- advice on your options;
- a cost estimate of any further work that needs to be done.
A consultation generally costs $330 for standard matters of $440 for complex matters.
Following the consultation, Estrin Saul Lawyers will generally send you a fee estimate so you know what you are likely to spend.
