How we operate
Indigo Lawyers is a boutique law firm. We listen first. We then use plain simple English to communicate with you, unlike most lawyers. Afterall, communication is central to practising law.
Sometimes the best solutions are not legally based. That’s why we start by getting to know you and the situation first.
We begin with a quick fact-finding chat. We then meet you to discuss solutions and provide answers more thoroughly. At the end of our first meeting, we will identify your options and next steps. We also set goals and outline fee estimates for each option we discuss.
Our Fees
No one has a bottomless budget. We tailor our advice to best find the paths that meet your goals and budget.
It is your Family Law matter, not ours. You will always remain in control.
We normally work based on a competitive hourly rate. Our fees will reflect however much assistance you require of us.
In some matters, we can even offer a fixed fee.
Who’s behind Indigo Lawyers
Sam Ngai – founder
Sam holds a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy) from the University of Adelaide. He has practised exclusively in Family Law since 2010.
Sam started out as a commercial litigation lawyer at a mid-tier firm. There, he honed his commercial nous and sensitivity to cost-effectiveness often overlooked in Family Law. He then worked in ‘blue chip’ Family Law firms in Perth dealing with Family Law matters in the aftermath of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. This exposure gave Sam a deep understanding of how Family Law intersects with specialty areas such as inheritances (received before and after separation), intra-family loans, small businesses, family trusts and farming enterprises.
Sam then managed the Family Law division of a mid-sized Adelaide firm for over 10 years.
Sam also prides himself on finding practical solutions to parenting and custody disputes. He appreciates that parenting arrangements will kick on long after lawyers are out of the picture. They therefore must work when the legal letters and Court hearings have stopped. This often means putting strategic plans and safeguards in place to both now and in the future.
