How I can help
I will be happy to talk to you about your case and advise you completely free of charge and without obligation. If you live in the Norfolk area I can see you in your own home (again without charge) if that is more convenient for you. I do not set a time limit for preliminary consultations. I will meet you for as long as it takes to get the full picture. As I work from my office at home, I am also not tied to office hours. I can see you in the evening or at weekends.
One of the biggest worries that people have about going to law is: how am I going to pay for the case?
If I take on a case it will be on the basis that I will not charge a fee for my work unless the claim is successful - and then I will make a claim against the defendant for my costs to be paid on top of the compensation. I will offer what is known as a conditional fee agreement (often called "no win no fee").
I will also not deduct any of my fees from your compensation - so if we win the case you will get your compensation without deduction.
The cost of running a case is a complicated matter, but you will receive a full explanation before you decide whether to go ahead with your claim. My philosophy is to work on a case in partnership with my clients, so that we all work towards what we hope will be a successful conclusion.
Feel free to ring me for a preliminary discussion on 01692 650829.
Note:
Unlike many lawyers I do not pay introductory fees for new cases and I do not make or accept commission payments for new work, insurance policies or similar transactions. I believe that it is not ethical to pay or be paid for introducing cases: I want you to come to me because I offer an excellent service, not because your case has been bought from a claims handler who has advertised on television.
