The directory covers Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama. These are browsing areas, not court boundaries or a guarantee that every listed firm serves every town. Check the firm’s actual address and ask whether it can take on your matter before making arrangements.
Check whether a quoted consultation includes reading your contract or notice in advance. For an upcoming hearing, provide the venue and date when requesting an appointment.
For a regional matter, decide which parts of the service need to happen in person. A solicitor may be able to review records and give initial advice remotely, while a signing, conference or hearing needs separate arrangements. Ask who would attend and how travel, local agents or outside specialists would be charged.
Ask what the initial consultation includes: listening to the background, reviewing documents, written advice or taking action. Request an estimate that separates the lawyer’s work from searches, applications, expert reports and other external costs. A free consultation or a fixed fee may cover a limited step rather than the complete matter.
Agree who will handle the file, how you will receive updates and when you must approve additional work. If another practitioner, barrister or adviser may be needed, ask who will arrange that work and how their charges will be explained.
