Been served with a court claim? You have 14 days
Suing someone or being sued. We bring and defend civil claims in the State Courts and the High Court on fixed fees quoted by Ben after a consultation. If you have been served with an originating claim you have 14 days to file a notice of intention to contest and 21 days to file your defence so don't wait. Just want a letter sent? See our letter of demand service, $350 nett, no appointment needed.

Questions people ask first
I've been served with court papers. What now?
Book a consultation now. The deadlines run from the date of service and judgment can be entered against you if nothing is filed.
I've already missed the deadline
Contact us immediately. It may be possible to set aside a default judgment but every day counts.
I received a letter of demand, not court papers
Two options. We can draft your reply for $350 nett on the letter of demand page or book a consultation if you want advice on your position first.
How much will a lawsuit cost?
It depends on the court, the amount and how far the other side fights. Ben quotes a fixed fee for each stage after the consultation so you always know the figure before you commit.
