Charging for our Services: Family Law

Our aim is to be as transparent as possible about the way in which we charge for our services. With this in mind:

We may be able to offer an initial 1 hour fixed fee consultation for £100 plus VAT (£120).

This consultation  provides you with the opportunity to discuss your situation and the legal options available to you either by telephone, video or face to face.

We will provide you with an estimate of the likely costs at the outset and work within an agreed budget where possible.

We will keep you regularly updated of any developments.

We will advise you if we are able to claim a contribution to your costs from the other party.

Lawyers charge for their services by way of an hourly rate, depending on the experience and seniority of the lawyer concerned.

Our rates +

Our team’s normal hourly charge out rates are currently:

  • £255 plus VAT for Kamal Vasdev (Solicitor)
  • £140 plus VAT for Alison Cole (Paralegal)
  • £255 plus VAT for Kristy Underwood (Chartered Legal Executive Litigator & Advocate (Family and Litigation) Mediator (Family, Civil & Commercial and Workplace))

We will agree with you who will be working on your matter in advance.

Disbursements

In addition to our fees, there may be disbursements that are incurred as the matter progresses. Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as barristers and court fees. We will advise you of any disbursements that may apply and how much they will be so you can budget for these as the case progresses. We will obtain the funds from you in advance to enable us to pay them on your behalf.

Client Feedback

Ms S:

Thank you so much for absolutely everything - I went from feeling so helpless and small in June 22 to this, all thanks to you.

I've never had much money but I haven't regretted a thing - as it was for [my children] and I still feel to this day [their father] would have bullied me out of the picture and not listened to what [the children] wanted without a fair hearing and the Courts and your involvement!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have been a life saver to me and [my children].

Mr R:

“Life at the moment is just so much more stress free and relaxing, I can now start to enjoy life and start again, thank you so much for everything.”
