Legal Costs

By law, your solicitor must give you information about your legal charges – the money you must pay them for their services. Solicitors’ charges include their fees and any money they pay to another person or an organisation for you. Your solicitor must give you the information in this leaflet and must also write down and give you details of how they will charge you in your particular case. You should read this leaflet carefully. If you have any questions about your charges, ask your solicitor.

For more information on the cost and responsibilities of your solicitor in a personal injury case, get in contact with Bowler Geraghty & Co today.

*In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
