You should not allow worries over the potential costs to deter you from obtaining professional advice. Early and comprehensive advice is invaluable to ensure that all aspects of your family’s needs are considered.

We take our relationship with each client seriously and will always advise you of all the available options for funding your case. We can also introduce clients to lenders who are prepared to offer borrowing facilities to cover legal fees, which are often not repayable until the case is over. Availability, rates of interest and other terms vary according to each individual case.

As the case progresses we will ensure you remain aware, and in control of your costs. Our clients value our frank and transparent approach to fees.

We Want to Ensure You Have the Right Solicitor

We believe you should have the opportunity to speak to your solicitor, without being charged, before you choose to entrust your case to us. It is important you are comfortable with your solicitor; you feel they understand your legal needs and, just as importantly, the emotional aspects of your situation. Please call us today for more information or to make an appointment.

We can also introduce clients to lenders who are prepared to offer borrowing facilities to cover legal fees. In these circumstances, the money often does not need to be repaid until the case is over. We do not specifically recommend any lender, but we have relationships with some litigation funding providers such as Ampla, Novitas, Level and Detach.
