Individuals FAQs
Here are answers to some common questions about our legal services for Individuals.
How do I know if I need a solicitor?
If you are facing a significant life event—such as divorce, an employment dispute, a criminal accusation, or an injury, legal advice is crucial to protect your rights. Even for non-contentious matters like writing a Will or buying property, professional guidance ensures your intentions are legally binding and enforceable.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
To make the most of your appointment, bring a form of ID (passport/driving licence) and any documents relevant to your case. This might include contracts, court letters, financial statements, or correspondence with the other party. A clear timeline of events is also very helpful.
How much will my legal case cost?
We value transparency. For some services, such as Will drafting, we may offer fixed fees. For complex matters like litigation or family law, we work on an hourly rate or provide a detailed cost estimate. We will always discuss funding options and potential costs with you before starting work.
How long will my legal matter take to resolve?
Timescales vary depending on the complexity of the case and the cooperation of other parties. A straightforward Will can be finalised in weeks, whereas a contested divorce or injury claim may take months. We provide a realistic timeline at the outset and keep you updated on progress.
Do you offer 'No Win, No Fee' agreements?
For certain types of cases, particularly Personal Injury claims, we may offer a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), commonly known as "No Win, No Fee." This means you do not pay our legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful, minimising your financial risk.
Will I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Our priority is often to resolve disputes out of court through negotiation, mediation, or settlement agreements, as this is usually faster and less stressful. However, if a fair outcome cannot be reached, we provide robust representation in court to fight for your interests.
Is my conversation with you confidential?
Absolutely. Solicitor-client privilege means that what you tell us is confidential and protected by law. You can speak to us openly and honestly, which is essential for us to provide the best possible legal advice for your situation.
Can you help if I have been treated unfairly at work?
Yes. We advise employees on a wide range of issues, including unfair dismissal, discrimination, redundancy, and settlement agreements. Strict time limits apply to Employment Tribunals (usually 3 months), so it is vital to seek advice immediately.
Why do I need a Will if I don't have many assets?
A Will is about more than just money; it allows you to appoint guardians for your children and decide who handles your affairs. Without one, the law decides who inherits, which can lead to unmarried partners receiving nothing and family disputes arising.
What geographical areas do you cover?
While we are based in the UK, we act for clients nationwide. With secure digital communication and video conferencing, we can represent you effectively regardless of your location. For specific court hearings, we can travel or instruct local counsel as required.
