What Is Fixed Fee For Divorce & Family Law Matters?
A Fixed Fee Arrangement is an alternative to the standard hourly rate used by divorce and family law solicitors with a fixed price for each stage of legal work. Agreed fixed fee is not dictated by the time spent on the case. The agreed fixed fee gives certainty of legal costs and thus enables you to budget for your lawyer’s fees for divorce and family law matters.
Our agreed fixed fee for divorce and family law cases covers all the work until we recieve a written decision for the stage of the divorce or family law matter for which you have instructed us. Please be advised that our agreed fixed fee does not cover the third party charges e.g. court fees or Barrister's fees. We charge affordable fixed fees with an option to pay by instalments.
