Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you resolve my issue?
Every case is different, but we prioritise fast, commercially smart resolutions. Many disputes can be settled quickly without a court, saving you stress, cost, and time away from your business.
Will I be dealing with a junior lawyer?
No. At MMR Lawyers, you work directly with experienced senior lawyers from start to finish. You’ll always have experienced guidance, not be passed down to juniors or paralegals.
Do I really need a lawyer, or can I handle it myself?
Without the right advice, you risk costly mistakes or making the problem worse. We remove the uncertainty, give you clarity, and take control so you can focus on running your business.
What if I want to take my matter to court?
We’re experienced litigators, but we’ll first assess whether court is truly in your best interests. If litigation is the right path, we fight hard to achieve the strongest possible outcome.
How will I know what’s happening with my case?
We explain every step in plain English and keep you updated, so you’ll never feel lost or left in the dark. You’ll always know where you stand.
Why should I choose MMR Lawyers over another firm?
We’re not a “big firm” that passes you around. You’ll get senior-level attention, commercial insight, and genuine care from lawyers who treat your problem as if it were their own.
