I am willing to give all clients an initial 15 minute free telephone or zoom consultation. You must call the office to set up an appointment on 0191.3692383 and you can also obtain a quotation for any work you may seek to instruct me on.
This 15 minute call will be simply to understand if your matter is a type of case I can take on and for me to check my diary for free dates and give indicative costings. I will not give you legal advice during this call, which will only be for 15 minutes.
If I can take your case on I will ask you to send me papers. In most cases I will then need a 1 hour call or a meeting with you (£250 fee) to then discuss your case case and agree the ongoing work that is needed. A client care letter will be sent and I need to be sent ID and Proof of Address at this stage.
