Guidance on fees

At JKC we like to provide transparent and realistic cost estimates. We provide an estimate at the start of any privately funded matter. While, the costs of Court action can be difficult to estimate, we aim to provide you with a realistic costs estimate. 

We also have a Legal Aid Franchise for matrimonial work. Where appropriate, our team have the authority to grant emergency legal aid. In these circumstances, we do not have to make prior referral to the Legal Aid Agency, enabling us to take action much more quickly.

Please find below an estimate of costs for some matters where we are able to foresee the approximate work that is likely to be involved in a matter. For matters where no estimate can be provided without obtaining further details of your matter, please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with an estimate after briefly discussing your matter with you.
