SERVICE STANDARDS & FEES

Clear, fixed-fee pricing

Typical fixed-fee ranges for immigration and family law work, with no VAT to pay. Call 01223 971 431 for an accurate quote.

How we charge

Fixed fees that let youbudget with certainty

A fixed fee is an alternative to the standard hourly rate: a set price for each stage of legal work, not dictated by the time spent on your case. Our agreed fee covers all the work until we receive a written decision on the stage you instructed us for.

If you cannot afford to pay our fee in full at the time of instruction, we are happy to accept half of the agreed fee up front, with the balance paid before your biometrics are enrolled.

Prices are for guidance only. We give an accurate quote reflecting the complexity and urgency of your case before any work begins.

Full Representation

We take over management of your case and deal with the Home Office on your behalf: advising on supporting documents, filing the online application, booking your appointment, drafting a legal representation letter and checking your evidence.
