Our charges and timescales
OUR FEE
We deal with legal Aided Criminal matters. Which means that you do not have to pay us our legal fees.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR A CASE TO REACH A HEARING?
The length of time in a case varies depending upon the type and gravity of the offence. We will of course keep you informed throughout the preparation of a case about how long the matter is likely to take to reach a conclusion. We only take work which is covered under the Government’s Legal Aid scheme, which means that you do not have to pay us any fee.
BARRISTERS’ FEES
Under the legal aid, the Barrister’s fee will also be covered.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR A CASE TO REACH A HEARING?
The length of time in a case varies depending upon the severity of the offence. We are unable to tell you the expected lenght of the case. Once we have more information and facts we will be able to estimate the likely time. We will of course keep you informed throughout the preparation of a case about how long the matter is likely to take to reach a conclusion.
