WHAT WE CHARGE FOR OUR WORK
Majority of our work in Criminal Law is covered by legal aid, subject to client’s eligibility. Virtual all police station representations are on legal aid, so clients do not have to pay. For court proceedings, clients who are eligible for legal aid can be represented without needing to pay privately. Where a client is not eligible for legal aid, the below private rates apply, or the Firm can agree a fixed fee on all works set out at the outset. For a fixed fee quote, please call us on 020 8470 2840.

The above covers most areas of the law that we cater for; and is set as a standard minimum rate we will charge. Alternatively we, on occasion may charge a fixed fee and or stage by stage fee.
The fixed fees are mostly commonly charged for criminal matters, immigration and other areas of law where the work is set out and one can contemplate completion within a certain number of hours.
Stage by stage is where we may charge stage 1: The pre-litigation fee to be negotiated considering the matter at hand. Stage 2: The Lodging of the Claim or filing Defence fee to be negotiated considering the matter. Stage 3 The Hearing; fee to be negotiated. Stage 4 if the matter falls into this category this forms the post litigation, retrieval or enforcement stage, fee to be negotiated.
On some matters we cater for our clients by way of Conditional Fee Agreement CFA. This in layman’s terms translates into “No Win No FEE”, where you will be charged at the end of the matter plus success fee and on occasion, we may request that you pay disbursements upfront. However, all agreements are negotiated at inception. Mostly we put forth our model CFA.
