FEES

Each fee will be on a case by case basis depending on the issues, the complexities involved, volume of paperwork and the length of hearing.

• Highly competitive
• Fixed fees in all cases

The fee charged will depend upon the actual hearing involved as some hearings require substantially more work than others. An indication of fees that will be incurred in a case typical in nature, is set out below.

What Case Involves	Fee
Conference and advice pre-issue of proceedings. (No fee for a conference in ongoing proceedings for which I have been booked)	£350-£500
For a first hearing, whether a financial dispute or child hearing - usually 6-12 weeks after issue	£800-£950
FDR in financial cases, about 3 months after the first hearing	£2,000 -£2,500
Final hearing (one day), financial or children, usually 3 months since the previous hearing	£2,750 to £3,500

Cases can be elongated because of the need for more hearings, i.e., additional directions hearings, lack of judges, so hearings are adjourned and delay in listing your case. All this may mean your case takes over 12 months from issue.

There will be no added costs such as emails or telephone advices. These are included in the fixed fee.

Payment is made before each hearing takes place, usually about a month before.

Please telephone for a discussion of your case and your budget, so an affordable fee can be negotiated.

As soon as I have discussed the case with you, I will then email you with a detailed breakdown of the fees I will charge.
