Paragraph on history

Our Mission

To provide practical and affordable legal solutions that empower our clients to make informed decisions — without unnecessary complexity, confusion, or cost.

Checks and Balances Law is established to provide seamless, meaningful and excellent legal services at affordable prices. Our principles are simple:

Meaningful

Clients must always be better off at the end of their matter, which means if legal costs are going to outweigh the benefits, we will be upfront about this.

Efficient

We use technology to make our services consistently good, fast and affordable.

Excellent

We keep on top of legal developments and invest in continuous education to make sure our advice remains accurate and relevant.

Accessible and Affordable

Other than using technology whenever possible to keep our fees low, we offer flexible payment plans; for example, we have partnered with Plenti, a provider of legal loans and QuickFee which facilitates instalment payments.

We are also very aware that legal mumbo jumbo can be overwhelming, that is why we use charts and visuals for some matters. For example, if you have a litigation matter, we will give you a complimentary visual presentation to outline the steps, costs and timeline.
