We generally 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. Trials and S36/39 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.

I am trying to save trees despite the LAA’s best efforts with the new Legal Aid form. The Data Notice adds 3 pages to it. The online form states that we must give the Defendant a copy of it or communicate the contents of it. What I am doing at present is telling the Defendant that their Data will be used in this fashion but not giving the form to them. I feel that the 3 extra pages are best sent with the initial Client Care letter. Does anyone think this is inappropriate?

Best Wishes,
