Whilst our focus is providing an exemplary service, Chelsea Emery and Associates will also provide clients with a clear outline of our fees. No further fees will be incurred without your approval. Although there are cases where a fixed fee structure is appropriate which is usually those proceeding through the Magistrates Court, there are many cases where tailored arrangements are necessary based on the particulars of that case. These arrangements will be discussed in detail with you and for these matters we are happy to discuss a payment plan.
