Legal Aid

Whether you qualify for legal aid depends firstly on the nature of your case and secondly on your financial situation – please click here to request a free consultation with us. If the nature of your case qualifies for legal aid you will then be required to provide evidence of all your finances. In the first instance a discussion with one of our caseworkers on the telephone may provide an indication and if it seems you may be eligible at that stage you will need to provide full documentary financial disclosure to confirm eligibility.

Agreed Hourly Rate

This is the traditional fee structure which means that a solicitor will assess your case and provide a fully flexible option on an hour basis. You will be given information about the likely overall cost of your matter, and you will be updated as to these costs. Hourly rates charged will depend on the level of experience and post qualification accreditation of the caseworker allocated to your case.

Fixed Fee

On some matters we have fixed fee options available. This means that a solicitor will assess your situation and provide you with a fixed fee to assist with your case. This gives you a level of cost certainty to get you to a particular resolution. For some areas we can do this in stages of your case which gives you even more flexibility.

Self Help

You act in person but instruct us to undertake a particular task in your presence e.g., the drafting of a statement, the drafting of court pleadings.
