Our charges
Charges will vary depending upon your case and its complexity.  As a private paying client you will be charged on an hourly basis.   

It is difficult to give you an accurate estimate as to your total fees will cost, as it will very much depend on the work that will need to be carried out.  However, we will endeavour to provide you with an estimate of costs at the outset of your case and prior to each court hearing.

If at any stage we anticipate that our costs will exceed the amount estimated, we will notify you immediately and provide you with a revised estimate. 

From time to time it is necessary for us to incur disbursements, for example, search fees, Court fees, and in complex cases, for instructing Counsel.  It is this firm’s practice that we have security for any disbursements incurred.  You will therefore be notified when it is necessary for us to incur disbursements and will be required to put us in funds before we incur the disbursement.

We are currently offering a 30 minute free initial consultation.

Discounted fees
For clients on limited means who are unable to secure legal aid, we are able to offer a reduced hourly rate. This is based solely on financial means (income and capital) which will be assessed at the initial meeting.

Please note that if your personal or financial circumstances change, you will be required to inform us immediately so we can re-assess your eligibility for the discounted fees.In any event, we will carry out regular reviews of your means to ensure that you are being offered the appropriate fee structure.

Methods of payment
We offer various methods of payment.

Paying privately
This means that you will not receive any form of government assistance such as legal aid towards the costs of your legal fees and you will be responsible for paying them privately.

Public funding
You may be eligible for public funding (formerly called legal aid) even if you are in employment and we will carry out the necessary financial assessment.
