Ignored

Drained

Your legal costs are spiralling, yet you are no closer to a resolution.

This is what you can expect from your review

Thank you again for today. You have achieved more in the last 72 hours than my previous lawyer did in 2 years.

N. Brisbane

Thank you so much for all of your advice and work to bring my settlement to a close. I came to you very scared and in a weak position after receiving so much bad advice. I am so grateful for the high level of knowledge and skill that you brought to the table to resolve my matter.

K. Lawyer

Joe, you are one of the most passionate people I have ever met when it comes to your job. You clearly enjoy helping people. You are super prepared, and your customer service skills are as good as I have experienced.

J. Financial Professional

I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have you looking after my case. Upon reading the letter you wrote to the other side, tears filled my eyes as to the relief it gave me to have someone like you support me in such a manner.

S. Brisbane

Thank you, Joe, for levelling the playing field with my husband and his aggressive lawyers. The hardest time of my life and you helped me keep my chin above water.

E. Brisbane

Thank you for everything you did on Friday, you made me feel relaxed while we worked through the financial and parenting matters. I am glad I walked away from my previous lawyers and found you. It was a great outcome.

FAQ

Second Opinion

If I get a second opinion, am I locked into switching firms?

Not at all. A second opinion is yours to use however you choose. Some clients stay with their current lawyer and use the advice to refocus their strategy. If you decide you'd like us to take over, we can step in and get things moving quickly.

How much does a second opinion cost?

We offer fixed fee second opinion consultations of $770 including GST, so you know the price upfront. It's designed to be an accessible way to get clarity and confidence about your next steps.

Is a second opinion confidential?

Completely. Your second opinion consult is confidential and protected by legal privilege. We won't contact your current lawyer or anyone else without your permission.

What happens in a second-opinion review?

We review your current lawyer's approach, listen to your concerns and give you an honest, strategic assessment of where you stand.

You'll leave with clarity on whether your current path is working, and if not, what needs to change to get things moving.

When is it worth getting a second opinion?

A second opinion is worth getting if you feel ignored, confused or drained by your current legal team. Common signals: your settlement is dragging on, costs are climbing with no clear end, or your lawyer is reacting rather than driving the strategy. A fresh perspective often unlocks a matter that's stalled.

We understand that when you’re navigating a separation or family law dispute, the financial strain can sometimes stand in the way of accessing the legal support you deserve. That’s why FLP Family Law have partnered with JustFund - Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law legal fees.

Through this partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation or property matters, with nothing to repay until your settlement is reached.Approval is based on your legal matter, not your income or credit score, making quality legal representation accessible even during times of financial hardship.
