At Kelso Lawyers, our prime directive is not about making a mountain of money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our fees are the most reasonable in the country. We don\u2019t charge by the minute – we use a fixed fee scale which is much fairer than the average law firm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, our goal is to achieve the best possible result from your National Redress Scheme<\/a> application. We want to make offending institutions<\/a> pay for what they\u2019ve done and ensure you make it through the National Redress Scheme\u2019s application process feeling supported.<\/span><\/p>\n

We want you to leave our office feeling much better than when you arrived.<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can go online and fill out your own application. You can handwrite your own paper forms, place the forms in an envelope with a stamp, and post them the old fashioned way; <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You can prepare an application with Knowmore, the Commonwealth Government\u2019s free (but wholly taxpayer-funded) telephone service, or;<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. You can enlist the help of an experienced team of child abuse compensation lawyers with your best interests at heart.<\/span>

    We want you to know that you have a choice.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can decide what\u2019s best for you, including what\u2019s comfortable and what\u2019s convenient. However, we also want you to know which path will lead to the highest possible redress payment for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We\u2019re not making a sales pitch, but it\u2019s essential to understand your options and what will lead to the best possible result. <\/span><\/p>\n

    In this article, we explain the benefits of enlisting the help of a team of solicitors like Kelso Lawyers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
