Our Fees
We operate a fair, transparent and honest policy with our fees we charge for our legal services. There are no hidden fees and we always aim, where possible, to ensure that our clients are fully aware of the fees they will be charged from the start of their case to the end of the case. Where we are unable to do so and especially in hourly rates cases, we provide a phased estimate, where possible, and make it clear that any payments on account are not fixed fees or estimates.
