Our solicitors and staff have excellent experience and skill. If you are paying more you have to ask yourself why?
We guarantee our fees. If you aren’t satisfied with our fees we guarantee we will explain our calculation of fees in detail. If for whatever reason you still aren’t satisfied we will be happy to have our fees assessed by an independent costs assessor to objectively determine a fair fee and if that amount is less than what we have charged we will refund the difference.
ITEM FEES
Items / scale fees are calculated by referring to certain tasks or events occurring. (e.g. So much for a letter regardless of the length of time it takes for us to prepare.) We adopt the Supreme Court Scale of fees for this method.
