Frequently asked questions

Which courts or tribunals handle civil litigation matters in Victoria?

Depending on the claim amount and nature of the dispute, civil matters in Victoria are heard in VCAT (tribunal matters, retail leases, consumer claims), the Magistrates’ Court (claims up to $100,000), the County Court, or the Supreme Court for high-value commercial disputes.

How quickly can I consult with a litigation solicitor?

Court deadlines and statutory limitation periods move fast. We prioritize urgent dispute matters and aim to review your documents and connect you with a litigation solicitor within 24 hours of your initial enquiry.

How does your fixed-fee structure work for court and dispute matters?

We remove financial uncertainty by offering staged fixed-fee pricing for major litigation milestones (such as drafting formal Letters of Demand, preparing VCAT applications, or attending mediation). You receive a clear breakdown of legal costs before each stage begins, ensuring complete budget control.

What is a Letter of Demand, and why is it important?

A Letter of Demand is a formal legal document setting out your legal claim, the remedy required (e.g., payment or action), and a deadline before court action commences. It often resolves disputes quickly without formal litigation and serves as critical evidence regarding costs if court proceedings follow.

Do you offer a free first consultation?

Yes. M & Z Lawyers offers a free, no-obligation first chat so you can explain your situation, understand your options and get clear guidance on the next steps before deciding how to proceed
