Fixed Fee Legal Packages

Instructing a solicitor can be a costly process, and it's understandable that many clients are wary of running up large bills. We offer Fixed Fee Initial Advice packages for businesses and individuals which provide prompt, clear and concise legal advice on your issue, while keeping your budget under control.

After reviewing a selection of key documents if applicable, your allocated solicitor will provide practical and relevant advice and guidance. You may find that this is enough for you to be confident managing the issue yourself, or it may confirm that the situation warrants professional involvement. Either way, you'll have the information you need to make the right decision for you.

Thank you so much for such a fast turn around, and efficient & friendly service, Alex has eased what would have been a very stressful situation. Patch Law will be highly recommended by me.
