HOURLY RATES FEE AGREEMENT for LIGITATION MATTERS
Our charges will normally be calculated by references to the time spent in dealing with your case or transaction unless otherwise indicated to you in writing. The caseworker will keep a record of any time they spend in working on your case or transaction and this would include attending upon you and others, perusing, and considering documents, correspondents, telephone calls, travelling and waiting time. Letters written and telephone calls are usually charged based on six-minute units and should, for example, if a telephone call lasts more than six minutes then the charge will be increase based upon increments of further six-minute units. Each fee earner at this practice has been given hourly rates and these rates are reviewed annually. The hourly rate may vary and is usually dependent upon.
– The degree of urgency in your case or transaction.
– The complexity of your case or transaction
– The importance of your case or transaction
– The amount of any money involved in your case or transaction.

Your Solicitor can break your case down into stages. They can give you an estimate of how many hours each stage is likely to take so you can get an idea of your legal costs.
Fixed Fees
In most of our immigration matters, we charge Fixed fees, which we believe is a most effective option for your case as you have a clear and precise knowledge of the costs involved. This allows you to plan your legal costs, i.e., our fees, Home Office fees and related services, other experts’ fees, etc. It provides you with a complete confidence at each stage of your case of the costs involved without any fuss.
We also have fixed fee options for Divorce, Civil Litigation, amongst others.
Our fee includes:
Taking your instructions and reviewing documentation.
Undertaking appropriate searches.
Sending a letter before action.
Receiving payment and sending onto you, or if the debt is not paid, drafting, and issuing the claim.
Where no Acknowledgment of Service or Defence is received, applying to the court to enter Judgement in default.
When Judgement in default in received, write to the other side to request payment.
If payment is not received within 90 days, providing you with advice on the next steps and likely costs.
