Our Fees

Traditional full service

This is the service that most clients will be familiar with. Whether it is a financial matter arising from divorce or a Children Act case, the client is charged at the relevant fee earner’s current hourly rate.

DIY fixed fee service

In the current financial climate more and more people are now taking charge of their own legal affairs by representing themselves in court. However there are circumstances where even with the best will in the world you will need some level of legal advice. This service allows you to retain full control of your own case whilst receiving the benefit of sound legal advice on a fixed fee basis helping you to keep control of what legal costs you can afford to incur. There are clear parameters setting out what you can expect from this service and so this option is only appropriate for those who have both the confidence to represent themselves at Court but who also have the time needed to deal with all of the Court requirements. Please be aware that for those with busy work or family lives it will be difficult to put aside the amount of time required to deal with all aspects of your case.

If you would like to find out more about these different services we will be more than happy to discuss them in more detail when you come in to see us.
