Dispute Resolution
Dealing with a civil dispute or claim can be an expensive and time-consuming process. We will help you decide the most cost-effective strategy and steer you through the legal process calmly and efficiently from start to finish.
We advise and act for clients on all types of civil disputes including personal injury claims, contract law, property and landlord and tenant disputes, employment law, possession proceedings and debt recovery and also claims relating to wills and estates.
Raised awareness of rights and entitlements has prompted a dramatic increase in the number of contentious probate cases going to court in recent years. For more information, click here: http://www.hinedowning.com/probate-wills/contentious-probate.php
Weighing the Costs
Before we begin work on your behalf and as your case progresses, we will give clear and frank advice about your chances of success and help you weigh this against the likely level of legal charges and expenses and other concerns.
Our Approach
Many disputes and claims can be resolved effectively out of Court and we will consider with you the options available including mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, in addition Public Funding (previously called Legal Aid) or conditional fee agreement ‘no fee, no fee’) may sometimes be available.
