Best Business Law Practitioners in Braintree

For family cases we offer a fixed fee first consultation so that you can obtain some initial advice on your position. At this consultation we can provide you with an estimate of how long your case might take and the likely cost. In some cases we can also offer a fixed fee for a divorce.

In the majority of cases it is not necessary for our clients to attend court in person. Most cases can be dealt with on paperwork alone. Sometimes, it is necessary for us to advise our clients to protect their position by pursuing court proceedings. Where a court appearance is necessary, we will discuss the format of the hearing and what will be required of you beforehand and ensure you are always accompanied by either your own lawyer or, if necessary, an experienced family law barrister.

No, we will never put pressure on you to take action if you do not feel ready to do so. We offer an initial consultation for a fixed fee. At that meeting we can advise you on your options moving forward. We recognise that all family law cases involve very personal issues for the individuals involved and respect the fact that you may not wish to act on our advice straight away. However, we will always advise you when you need to take immediate action to protect your position.

As is the policy of most solicitors, we ask you to provide money on account at the beginning of your case and as the case progresses. We will provide you with regular invoices so that you can keep appraised of the level of your legal costs and budget accordingly. For wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, we will invoice you once the documentation has been prepared. For fixed fees in divorce cases, we ask for half of our fee plus the court fee in advance with the final half of the fee payable upon the decree nisi being issued.
