For cases with a representation order prior to 1st October 2022, we charge £50 per hearing with VAT as appropriate although we reserve the right to charge an additional fee in cases where there is greater difficulty - this will be rare.
For cases started after 1st October the fee will generally be £60, increasing to £75 if we complete it for you in one hearing.
Trials and S36/38 hearings by arrangement. We can assist with Duty Solicitor swaps/cover subject to LAA Contract Compliance, please contact us individually for each particular Court. Our voicemail message will always confirm whether we are at that Court
Contact us by either email, text or phone but the first two can be delayed, critical when you need us to see an overnight client quickly before they go elsewhere. Telephone contact ensures that we can confirm that we can act and that we can respond as swiftly as needed.
Increasingly, we are being asked to deal with bail applications for breaches of Crown Court bail, at the instance of both firms and referrals from Chambers. We only undertake these as agencies from the firm concerned not as a ‘Crown Court appearance’ with the advocate’s fee of £91. We only charge £60 for that reason to leave a profit element for the firm. We are not engaged by the Chambers that are briefed and do not account to them – no contract exists in those circumstances, although of course the firm is entitled to recoup the £91 from the barrister concerned in the usual way.
Best Wishes,
Bruce
