We understand that financial stress can add to an already difficult situation. That's why we aim to alleviate your financial concerns by offering fair and transparent pricing around legal fees and disbursements. Other firms often charge double - or more - than we do. If you've been provided with an estimate or costs agreement from another firm, come to us, and we'll let you know what we would charge.

Dealing with a serious injury is challenging enough without the added stress of navigating a complex legal process. Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind, handling every aspect of your claim while you focus on recovery.

By choosing us, you're not only gaining a local lawyer who understands your community, but also a partner who is committed to making the process as smooth, affordable, and stress-free as possible.

Understanding No Win No Fee Legal Services

Navigating the legal process after a serious injury can feel overwhelming. At Fortitude Legal, we aim to provide clarity, support, and expert guidance to ensure that pursuing your claim for compensation entitlements is as stress-free as possible. Based right here in Ballarat, we determined to help our local community access justice without financial barriers.

We Work on a No Win No Fee Basis

We believe that financial circumstances and legal costs should never stand in the way of seeking justice. That's why we offer legal representation on a No Win No Fee basis* (conditions apply).

Our charges are laid out simply and explained to you before we start to advise you.

What Does This Mean for You?

  • No upfront costs* - You won't need to pay anything to get started, and no out of pocket expenses.

  • Pay only if you win - Our costs are only payable if we successfully secure compensation for you.

  • Transparent fees - From the beginning, we explain costs and disbursements clearly. You'll know what to expect at every step.

  • No shock bills - We keep you informed throughout, so there are no surprises at the end of your claim.

Unlike larger firms where decision-making control in relation to legal costs and out of pocket expenses incurred (known as disbursements incurred) may be taken out of the hands of an individual solicitor, our lawyers are not so constrained, and we are flexible when issues arise.

Whether you've been injured in an accident on our local roads, sustained a workplace injury at a Ballarat construction site, or have been injured in a public place, our expert team of transport accident, public liability and Workcover lawyers, will guide you through the legal process, providing clear advice and taking care of everything to support you in your journey - from gathering evidence such as medical reports, to negotiating with Defendants to achieve the best possible outcome and maximum compensation - so you can focus on recovery and getting back to your day to day life.

Always had alot going on in the background, but kept me updated as needed. Thanks Guys
Wasn't so sure about Cameron when we first met, but I had been given a good recommendation by someone I trusted.
Everything was explained to me, then as we got to each step it was explained again.
Nothing was too much trouble & when I wouldn't be helped by the insurance company a phone call from Fortitude would quickly have it sorted.
Fortitude Legal could not have done better with my claim, they really put the effort & fight in for me.
They were most mindful of a person illness I was also recovering from at that time

Thank you to all who work in the Ballarat Office of Fortitude Legal you really have helped get me to the next stage of my life without worrying
Cameron, Fiona, Jenni and staff were very easy to deal with. I would recommend Fortitude Legal any day they were all very supportive throughout my 5 year process. Thank you all at Fortitude Legal.
Where do I start! From my first conversation with Cameron, and then Fiona (& their staff Jenni & Ashlee) I have felt heard, understood & informed. Knowledgeable, articulate, understanding & empathetic all the way through. Nothing was too much trouble - even having to repeat themselves for me when I didn't quite get it! Their communication was excellent as we waited for, what at times seemed like ages, things to go through the system. I will be forever grateful for the help & counsel that I received (I don't know where I would have been without it). I thoroughly recommend Fortitude Legal to anyone needing assistance.
I was in consultation with Fiona Goodie, one of their lawyers, and I have never felt so heard and understood. She was truly amazing and explained everything so well for me. There was no stress because ultimately I had the say over my case, which left me feeling a lot lighter in all aspects. I would recommend fortitude to anyone, especially Fiona.
A massive thank you to all of the staff at Fortitude Legal, with special thanks to Fiona and Cameron. The work that they have done on my behalf has been outstanding and I am more than satisfied with the outcome that they achieved for me. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.
Fiona at Fortitude Legal looked after a claim for my husband which was finalised recently. We went to Fortitude Legal because they were local to Ballarat and supporting a local business was important to us. During the lengthy process we found Fiona to be informative, professional and kept us updated at all times. We were happy with the outcome and happy to recommend Fortitude Legal to any of our friends or family that may need help in the future. Thanks Fiona and Cam
Fiona and the team are the best and nicest people you could have working for in these hard situations
Highly recommend fortitude legal
Cameron and his team have been professional and diligent in every aspect of my claim.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Fortitude Legel in the future and highly recommend all of the staff.
Thankyou from my family
Kind regards
Chris.
Very thankful that I have had this amazing team with me on this ride and their respect and diligence has been so appreciated by myself and my family
