Competitive Fees

Our fees are highly competitive because, unlike many traditional barristers, we work directly with our clients since we are a public access barrister which means we work without the involvement of a solicitor.  This means that our clients only need to pay for one lawyer rather than two. We also keep our overheads and fixed costs down by using electronic case- management systems and other technologies that ensure a streamlined service for our clients.

• The complexity of the legal issues in the case
• The number of appellants, including any dependants;
• The volume of supporting documents or witnesses;
• The timeframe available to prepare the appeal;
• The location of the appeal hearing;
• Whether we were instructed to prepare an earlier visa or immigration application;

We accept payment in advance or by instalments and offer preferential rates where
there are multiple appellants and for returning clients.

We will be pleased to provide you with a range of fixed fee options to choose from,

Family Law:

Mr Hossain can advise you if you and your former partner cannot agree on financial matters during, or after, a divorce. For example, you may not be able to agree on how assets should be divided, whether to sell your home or other assets, maintenance payments or pension sharing. If you cannot agree, you can apply to court for a financial order. You may need to attend a number of court hearings – our barristers can represent you in these hearings.

Timescales for your case may vary depending on factors such as the value and complexity of your assets, whether you have children, how much you have already agreed with your former partner, and their approach. Written advice on your financial dispute will be available within 4 weeks where possible. As a guide, court hearings for a financial order tend to take six to twelve months. This does not include possible appeals.
