"No Reduction - No Fee"
The Greatest 'Rip-Off' by Lawyers in Australia is the Six Minute Minimum Time Unit Charge Clause(SMMU) by these Despicable Lawyers.
If your case is a:
personal injuries damages;
family law/de facto property dispute;
deceased estate dispute; or
any other litigation matter
the SMMU clause results in you paying thousands of $$$ in excessive legal costs which I call "Lawyer-Theft" and may entitle you to thousands of dollars in a refund of those excessive legal fees. See how SMMU is abused by Lawyers.
What is the SMMU?
It is a short clause in your Costs Disclosure document (sometimes included in your Costs Agreement which states the lawyer's rate of charge, say $500.00 per hour which states:
"These rates will be proportionately charged for work involving shorter periods less than an hour. Our charges are structured in 6 minutes units. For example, the time charged for an attendance of up to 6 minutes will be 6 minutes and the time charged for an attendance between 6 and 12 minutes will be 12 minutes."
Check your Lawyer's Costs Disclosure document and if this SMMU is included, contact me IMMEDIATELY as you are paying excessive legal costs and you may be entitled to a refund of the excessive legal fees you have paid. Time limits may apply.

They have ordered the Lawyers to refund their clients thousands of $$$$ of excessive legal fees they have OVERCHARGED their clients.
