Legal costs

We understand that one of the biggest concerns clients have when considering whether to pursue claims through solicitors are the legal costs involved.

We will take details from you and then advise you on your options including the related costs involved (a cost estimate) so you know from the outset what the potential costs are.

It is of course very difficult for us to give an exact figure as it will mostly depend on how the matter unfolds and in turn what work is required to be done but we do keep the cost estimate under constant review and provide cost updates every 6 months and will notify you if anything changes with the original cost estimate and why.  Our aim is to have full transparency with our clients in relation to costs.

Charges are on an hourly rate basis, and those hourly rates will be discussed with you at the initial enquiry.

Usually, we can agree to take details and provide advice for 1 hourly rate.
