Fees

We offer a range of different levels of service to suit all budgets. If you are unsure what may suit you then we suggest that you either drop in to one of our free clinics for a preliminary chat, available Monday to Thursday at 9-11 am or arrange a no obligation fixed fee consultation for £80 (up to 40 minutes). The clinic is intended for answering any preliminary questions you may have about your status or any applications that you may be looking to make. At a fixed fee consultation we will discuss your case in detail with you and advise on the merits of your case both during the meeting and in writing thereafter. You can then decide whether you would benefit from any of our other services.

Details of our fees and the range of services that we offer are given below. We strongly urge you to compare our fees with those of our competitors. You will surprised just how much you can save! Not only are our rates very competitive but all our lawyers are qualified and experienced solicitors who have a reputation for excellence. Your lawyer will retain responsibility for your case from start to finish and you will not be left to deal with a junior paralegal which is what many firms offer.

Free Drop in Clinic – Monday to Thursday 9-11am. No prior appointments required. We will discuss your case with you and provide you with necessary guidance and assistance (up to 15 minutes). You can use the drop-in clinic as a preliminary meeting prior to booking a paid appointment. You will be seen on a first come first serve basis.
Fixed Fee Consultation £80 inclusive of vat (up to 40 minutes). We will discuss your case in detail with you, advise on merits, the next steps that you should take and the supporting evidence you will require. We will also confirm the advice in writing and provide you with a clear and accurate estimate regarding future costs. This is a one off consultation and does not cover any further work beyond the consultation and the letter of advice.
Emergency Consultation £120 inclusive of vat. This will be appropriate where you need a same day or a next day meeting. The level of service will otherwise be the same as above.
Checking Service £250 +vat (£300) (up to 90 minutes). If you already know, what application you need to make but want the peace of mind of having your application checked over by an expert before submission, then this service is suitable for you. We are able to offer this checking service for most in-country applications, using the EEA forms, FLR forms, SET forms (excluding PBS cases) or applications for British citizenship. As part of this service we will review the paper application or online application form that you have completed (you must have completed the form already), answer any queries you have regarding the form, review your supporting evidence, advise regarding any additional evidence needed, advise you on the merits of the application and send you a letter of advice. It is very important that you come prepared to fully benefit from this service. No further work will be undertaken after the meeting unless you wish to upgrade to our Full Application Service, details of which are given below. If you upgrade then we will deduct these costs from the cost of the Full service. A prior fixed fee consultation is not necessary before utilising this service. You can book directly for this service or use it after you have had a fixed fee consultation.
Full Application Service As part of this service we will fully prepare your case and submit that to the Home Office or British Embassy. We will complete the application form, check your evidence, advise on any additional evidence needed, prepare and submit detailed representations in support of the application and deal with any follow up correspondence from the Home Office until your application is concluded. Our fees for various types of applications and appeals are given in the tables below.
