We pride ourselves on being approachable and accessible in our relationship with you.

We aim to achieve a relaxed, open and productive relationship with you as we work to resolve your legal issues. You will find that we are easy to talk with and we offer practical, understandable advice.

Fees

We are keen to ensure we have open and transparent communication about our fees. Although it is difficult to provide accurate quotes or fixed prices for most cases because of the way legal matters can develop, we can give you estimates for some of the regular work we do. We want to keep you informed at all times. If you have any concerns about costs, we urge you to talk to us. A copy of our Terms of Engagement can be found here (Terms of Engagement) or obtained on request from our office.

How can you get the best value from us?

Be well prepared

You can help keep costs down by giving us a clear outline of what you need or what the problem is. We strongly recommend that you put this in writing (email is an efficient method) and provide us with full copies of all relevant documents. This will not only enable us to give more accurate costs estimates but will keep your overall costs down.

Get advice promptly

It will usually save you anxiety and money in the long run.

Contact us before you sign any important document

If you don’t you could find out – to your cost – that the words don’t mean what you thought they did.

Don’t leave it until the last minute

If we have to drop other work to help you at short notice, it may mean you pay more. It is best to give us as much notice as possible.
