There’s no escaping it – you get what you pay for.
Galbally Parker is a private criminal law firm, and we charge private fees. That said, great legal representation should still be accessible, transparent, and aligned with your budget and circumstances.
Many clients come to us unsure about costs, what level of representation they need, or whether they even require a lawyer at all.
Fixed fee initial consultation – no ongoing obligation:
- 60-minute consultation: $350 (incl. GST)
- Speak directly with a criminal defence lawyer
- No obligation to retain us afterwards

Why we start with an initial consultation
An initial appointment is essential so we can:
- Understand your situation in detail
- Assess your legal position
- Explain your options clearly
- Give you realistic advice on cost and strategy
It also allows you to decide whether you want to proceed with us — without pressure or obligation.
What’s included in your 60-minute consultation
During your consultation, we will:
- Provide tailored legal advice based on your circumstances
- Explain the relevant criminal law and process
- Outline potential outcomes and risks
- Give you an early view of likely legal costs if you proceed
- Answer your questions directly with an experienced lawyer
This is not a sales meeting — it is a proper legal consultation.
Making the most of your consultation
Before your appointment, we will send you a comprehensive questionnaire to complete.
This ensures:
- We understand your matter in advance
- We maximise your 60 minutes together
- We focus on legal strategy, not background details
You can return the questionnaire before your appointment or bring it with you.
