They are just out to rip you off. No win no fee is a complete fabrication. They tell you on the telephone that you have to pay a fee for initial consultation, then 'we will see about no win no fee'. At the meeting we provided an accurate chronology of all documents, conversations, actions etc. with a front summary page with everything listed in date order. We were advised it would cost another $3000 for them to proceed. The first thing they would need to do is sit down and prepare a chronology of events!! The person we saw was just about asking questions from a script. If we wished to proceed, we had to pay the sum of $3,000 for their chronology and an application to the Fair Work Commission, they would then decide if they would pursue the matter on a no fee no win basis. This was for a position that paid less than $40,000 a year. They certainly do not offer a 'low cost option', you have to pay out a considerable sum before even being considered ' no win no fee'!!
