Australian Immigration Lawyers
In Australian Immigration they say the cheapest lawyers often prove to be the the most expensive, why is that?

Ever here the expression you get what you pay for. It means if you want Champagne you won't get it by buying Ginger Ale.
The same is true with just about everything we purchase. Now there are some cases were cheaper can be better though that is the exception rather than the rule. Sometimes when you go for the most inexpensive you end up paying more as you need to spend more to fix or add to what is left out by the cheaper purchase.
That is what I believe is being said here.

It's the same with any professional. I'll use the example of house inspectors:
My husband and I bought a house at the same time as our friends. We paid $250 for our house inspector, they paid $200 for theirs. When we got our reports, ours was an exhaustive account of every detail along with what repairs needed to be done soonest. Theirs was a checklist showing what the guy had checked. We knew what we were getting into when we bought the house. When they moved in, they found out that there was a major structural weakness that the previous homeowners had tried to cover up, and they had to pay $10 000 to fix it or risk their second floor collapsing. If they'd had a good house inspector, they would have saved the money by buying a different house.
If a lawyer's rates seem too good to be true, it's because they are. You won't get great quality if you're at the bottom of the barrel. Those people are there for a reason: they're either inexperienced or incompetent. They're suggesting that you pay a little extra to make sure it's done right.
