As things stand from November 2011 legal aid will be limited to a
very few cases (such as care proceedings or situations involving
domestic violence). Clients will not have legal aid and we are worried
that people will have to deal with complicated matters at court in
person.
Our Service To You
Our hourly rates are competitive but even so some people will
struggle to pay legal fees. In an effort to assist people in difficult
situations we are now offering a reduced hourly rate of £95 + vat per
hour which we call FamilyLite.
Technically so far as the court is concerned you are acting in
person. You will be responsible for filing papers at court and paying
the necessary court fees (sometimes you can be exempt from these). We
cannot provide our full service at the lower rate but it is likely that
in many cases FamilyLite will be all that you require. Call us now for a
discussion regarding your case
