We recognise the difficulty and stress that can arise when dealing with these type of problems and are able to provide you with legal advice as to the options available to you.
If you need legal help and don't have much money or can't warrant paying high legal fee's to see if you have a chance of success then we can help! Not only do we consider Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFA's) but we also offer a bespoke Pay As You Go service which allows you to pay for legal help as and when you need it.
A loan or credit card may prove to be unenforceable for a variety of reasons. If you've been served a claim form and require expert legal advice then you've come to the right place. We have a wealth of consumer credit legal experience and have been involved in various key cases which are still used in persuasive argument to this day.
Inheritance claims are far broader than simply contesting or disputing a Will because Inheritance Laws give a variety of options depending on the different situations that people find themselves in. Our Contentious Probate service can help you with disputing or contesting a Will, and can provide immediate legal representation anywhere in England & Wales.
As personal insolvency and bankruptcy solicitors, we offer immediate, impartial and confidential advice to enable you to manage and reduce your debts.

We will make you aware of your options and advise you on the best possible solution.
If you have a problem at work we can quickly provide you with immediate legal advice and assistance in dealing with your employer, and if necessary, formally take up the matter with your employer. We will clearly explain what your legal remedies are, including writing to your employer and if necessary, take the matter to an Employment Tribunal for you.
Solicitor Advocates are a relatively new breed of lawyer. Solicitors first acquired rights of audience in the higher courts in 1994, but it was not until after Lord Carter of Cole's review of publicly funded legal services in 2006 that things began to change. We can now offer a full advocacy service and attend court for you, for a set one-off fee agreed at outset.

Successes
There are numberous factors to take into account when offering legal services however our typical pricing (shown below) should help assist you to get an idea of what fee you'd be expected to pay for some specific services that we can provide to you. You will be able to purchase one-off Pay As You Go (PAYG) legal services at any time with prices starting at just £250 plus VAT for a specific, agreed legal service to be performed by us. On occasion we may be able to offer a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) meaning there would be no cost to you for utilising our legal services (for that case). Alternatively, for the best chance of success, you may instruct us to deal with the whole case from start to finish.
If you have individual loans both secured and non-secured, hire purchase agreements or running credit agreements (credit and store cards) of up to £25,000, which were taken out before 6 April 2007, then it is likely that some of the agreements cannot be legally enforced by the creditor.

The Latin for 'buyer beware' is 'caveat emptor'. This is a maxim (principle) which means that the purchaser of goods must take care to ensure that they are free from defects of quality, fitness, or title. In other words, all the risk is borne by the purchaser and not by the seller.
