Queensland
Retaining Wall
Lawyers
We are a law firm dedicated to providing advice in relation to retaining walls in Queensland.
We accept retainers from agents, builders, homeowners and other law firms seeking advice on retaining wall issues.
We accept discreet briefs from other law firms who wish to fill skills and knowledge gaps within their firms, or seek an expert opinion before they advise their own clients. In such circumstances, we will never contact your client/s directly.
I'm a solicitor seeking advice for a client who has a retaining wall matter or dispute.

In order to provide you with the best service, we abide the following maxims:
We will listen carefully to understand what you want to achieve.
The advice we provide will be as short, simple and useable as it can safely be. We will communicate in plain English; we won’t speak to you in “Legalese”.
For advice and documents, we can almost always provide a fixed or capped cost so you don’t take price risk. We can do this because our long experience in this niche field enables us to accurately predict the time we’re likely to spend on those tasks.

All of the options available to you in any given situation will be fully explained. You will always understand the full consequences of the decisions you are thinking of making.
Where the task you’re asking us to complete involves variables that impact the time we’re likely to spend working with you (such as court proceedings), we'll map out the process and give you a range of costs so you know what to expect and aren’t writing a blank cheque.
