Questions
What does 'no win-no fee' really mean?
You pay nothing if your claim fails. If successful, we recover legal costs from the defendant, and you retain 100% of compensation (excluding specific low-value RTA cases).
Why do you guarantee 100% compensation?
Our low overheads allow us to absorb costs rather than deduct from client awards. Unlike many firms, we don't take 25% success fees from client compensation in most personal injury cases.
What areas do you cover?
Based in Liverpool, we handle cases across Merseyside, the North of England, and North Wales. Most work can be conducted remotely via phone and email.
How long does probate take?
Typically 3-12 months depending on complexity. Grant of Probate usually takes 3-6 months, with asset distribution requiring additional time. Complex estates may take longer.
