Pay after property settlement
At Genuine Legal, we understand that for many of our clients the current pandemic is putting a strain on those who have urgent Property Matters to attend to.
We believe regardless that our clients should still receive the best possible outcomes available and not be forced to sacrifice their rights to a fair settlement because they cannot provide the means to engage appropriate legal representation.
We would like to offer you a «Deferred fee» arrangement
What that means is that once you engage us, you will only have to pay your fees after your settlement is concluded.
