How do I know which legal service I need?

If you are unsure where to start, simply get in touch, and we will point you in the right direction. We will take the time to understand your situation and make sure you are speaking with the right member of our team from the outset.

Costs vary depending on the nature and complexity of your matter. We are committed to being transparent about fees from the start, and we will always provide a clear indication of costs before any work begins. Where fees are likely to change during the course of a matter, we will let you know as soon as possible.

Timescales depend on the type of work involved and the circumstances of your case. A straightforward conveyancing transaction will follow a different timeline to a contested dispute, for example. We will give you a realistic expectation at the outset and keep you updated throughout.

Not necessarily. Many matters can be handled by phone or email, and we are happy to work in whatever way suits you best. Where a face-to-face meeting is needed or preferable, we have five offices across Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, and we will do our best to accommodate you at a location that is convenient.
