Straightforward Process
We assess your needs, determine the appropriate level of attorney involvement, and offer a clear, upfront quote — so you know exactly what to expect from the start.
No surprises. No hidden costs. Just practical, transparent guidance backed by legal excellence.
Fee Structures Offered

• Fixed fees for qualifying matters (e.g., some divorces, contracts, wills, property transfers)
• Retainers for ongoing or high-volume work
• Stage-based or milestone billing in litigation
How We Quote
Initial Consultation: We begin with a focused consultation to understand your needs.
Matter Assessment: Once we understand your matter, we provide a customised quote or propose a suitable billing model.
What Impacts Your Quote?
• The complexity and duration of the matter
• Whether litigation or negotiation is involved
• Urgency or out-of-hours requirements
• The seniority level of attorneys involved
We offer two consultation pathways to suit where you are in your legal journey:
This is an introductory, obligation-free session where we explain who we are, how we work, and what to expect from the legal process. No advice is given during this meeting. This is your opportunity to connect and assess fit. Should you wish to proceed, we will then arrange a follow-up advisory session.
A deep-dive consultation where we explore your matter, provide preliminary legal advice , and outline the possible paths forward.
Let us know which option you prefer, and we will schedule your complimentary session or send through a quote for the advisory consultation.

Whether you’re navigating a property transaction, drafting a commercial agreement, planning your estate, or dealing with a dispute, we provide reliable legal guidance designed to protect your interests and give you confidence at every step.
At Thomson Jacobs Datnow, we believe in direct communication, transparent advice, and long-term client relationships built on trust and results.
