FAQs

The first step is to book in a free 15-minute consultation with our lawyers to discuss your matter. To schedule an appointment, you can contact our office through our website, by emailing info@odysseylegal.com.au or by calling 07 5370 8759.

Our hourly rates for lawyers are $550.00 (excl. GST) for our Legal Practice Director, Partner or Senior Lawyer and $450.00 (excl. GST) for a Lawyer or Associate. A full breakdown of costs is contained in our Costs Disclosure and Costs Agreement, which will be issued upon you engaging Odyssey Legal.

Unfortunately, this is very dependent on your circumstances and the assistance required. At Odyssey Legal, we provide an estimate of fees for any initial scope of work, as to provide you with transparency. Once the matter progresses past the initial scope of work, the costs that may be incurred are subject to the work you instruct us to perform. Pursuant to section 308 of the Legal Professions Act 2007 (Qld), all law firms are required to disclose the possible costs that may be incurred and your rights regarding legal costs. As such, once you become a client of Odyssey Legal, we will issue our Costs Disclosure and Costs Agreement, which provides an estimate range of costs that may be incurred in the various stages of your matter. This does not mean that your matter will necessarily incur these costs, we simply must make you aware of the possible costs that could be incurred. At Odyssey Legal, we understand that litigation is inherently stressful and therefore, we pride ourselves on providing transparent regarding your legal costs, so that we do not add to the stress.

We deal with all areas of Litigation and Dispute resolution, including but not limited to: 1. Defamation Disputes; 2. Building and Construction Disputes; 3. Peace and Good Behaviour Disputes; 4. Debt Recovery; 5. Bankruptcy and Corporate Insolvency; 6. Civil and Personal Litigation; 7. Commercial Litigation; and 8. Tax Debt Dispute. The above are broad terms which encapsulate various disputes. All of which, we can assist with. Unfortunately, we do not practise in conveyancing (residential, commercial or business), criminal law, domestic violence, employment law, family law or personal. At Odyssey Legal, we pride ourselves on being exceptional in the areas we practise in, to provide a better service to our clients.

Unfortunately, no. Our firm operates on a fee-paying basis.

If you are asking yourself this question, then it is likely you may need a lawyer. As litigation lawyers, we have seen a variety of disputes that could have been easily avoided if the parties had obtained legal advice or assistance from the outset. Simply obtaining advice initially could mitigate the risk of a dispute arising or the parties incurring substantive legal costs. If you are still on the fence, then it may simply be beneficial to book in a free 15-minute consultation and speak with our lawyers to discuss your matter. These consultations do not lock you into an agreement with Odyssey Legal and there is no requirement to proceed with us, unless you wish to engage us.

This is completely understandable. Our lawyers have worked on the Sunshine Coast for an extended period and have established various connections with other firms. As such, even if your enquiry does not fall within an area we practise in, there is a good chance that we will be able to point you in the right direction and refer you to firm that can assist you.

We are based on the Sunshine Coast, however, we can provide legal assistance and services throughout all of Queensland.
