SOLICITOR AND CLIENT COSTS

Do you think you’ve been charged too much?

litigant in person

We have been assisting parties challenge their solicitors’ fees since 2005.

The vast majority of solicitors provide a value for money service assisting individuals and organisations in times of legal need.

However, on occasion, you might feel that the fees you have been charged exceed what you consider it is reasonable to pay.

In some cases, you might find yourself being sued for unpaid fees.

Whether you have paid your solicitors in full, or not, you have a number of statutory and common law rights available to you, including the ability to request further detail, raise formal objections and to have your solicitors’ bill assessed by the court.

I had the pleasure of working with Toby Moreton for around 9 Months. He made what was a very difficult and stressful time considerably clearer, and less confusing. He was warm and friendly, but also efficient and approachable at the same time. A truly excellent company.
