FEE FOR FAMILY LAW
HOURLY RATE
Our charges will be calculated mainly by reference to the time actually spent by the Solicitors and other staff in respect of any work which they do on your behalf. Please note all non-qualified staff, paralegal and trainee Solicitors are always supervised by Nadeem Sadiq.
These charges are reviewed annually and we will let you know if the rates increase.
In all cases, the exact number of hours it will take depends on the circumstances in your case. Such as:
The amount of supporting evidence that we need to consider.
The complexities of the case.
Which language(s) you speak.
Whether you are applying with other dependants.
If you are able to provide sufficient evidence at our first meeting and clearly meet the relevant criteria, the cost is likely to be at the lower end of this range.
The work will involve:
Discussing your circumstances in detail, considering the supporting evidence, you have provided, where necessary, helping you obtain further evidence including taking statements of any witnesses, preparing your application and submitting it on your behalf, confirming whether this is the most appropriate application for you to make, what other options may be available to you, giving you advice about the requirements of the relevant law and the timescales. If you do not fulfill certain criteria, whether this can be overcome and how.
We are able to offer you competitive fixed fees for a broad range of our services, including Divorce.
