Frequently Asked Questions - Raising a Court Action
How much will it cost me?
Depending on the work required we may be able to offer you a ‘fixed fee’ or if we decide to work on an hourly basis, an estimate of the total cost. The cost will depend on the type of work instructed.
What is a Fixed Fee?
A fixed fee is a set amount that is charged for any work carried out. If you are provided with a fixed fee, and you accept, you are only required to pay the fixed fee amount and will not be asked to pay anything more. Provided your instructions remain within the scope of the work agreed at the outset.
What is an hourly rate?
An hourly rate is where you are charged for every hour the solicitor works on your case. You will then receive an invoice at the end of each month which requires to be satisfied. We may also seek a payment to account at the outset of the action in order to ensure that there are sufficient funds to progress your case.
What if it is just a letter I need?
If it is a letter that you require, we can assist and will be able to provide a fixed fee for doing so. The amount of the fixed fee will depend on the length and purpose of the letter.
