Personal Injury Cases - Legal Fees
What Is No Win No Fee?
A no win no fee agreement (also known as a conditional fee arrangement) allows you to make a compensation claim, with no financial risk and without paying any solicitors’ fees upfront. You only ever pay anything us if your no win no fee claim is successful. If your case is unsuccessful you won’t have to pay any legal fees – either to your own solicitor or to your opponent’s.
How Does A No Win No Fee Claim Work?
Making a no win no fee claim usually involves us taking out an insurance policy on your behalf. This insurance policy fully protects you if your claim is unsuccessful. It also means that you can claim compensation without paying a penny upfront.
You only ever pay anything if your no win no fee claim is successful, and even then your opponent will pay most of your legal costs. Any remaining costs are deducted from your compensation settlement. We’ll advise you of this in advance, so there won’t be any surprises.
How Much Will You Have To Pay If You Win?
If you win your case your opponent will pay most of your legal costs. Any legal costs not paid by your opponent will be deducted from the compensation that you receive. These costs include:
· The cost of your no win no fee insurance policy
· Some of your basic legal costs which can’t be recovered from your opponent
· A “success fee” which compensates us for the risk that if your claim was unsuccessful then it would not be paid at all.
Your solicitor will discuss this with you in advance, so you’ll know what to expect when your claim settles.

Stages of Probate
There are five basic stages to the probate process, including
1. Collecting together assets and monies,
2. Valuing all assets,
3. Applying for probate,
4. Distributing the bequests in the will and
5. Drawing up accounts showing how the estate was distributed, which are then sent to the beneficiaries.
In some cases, probate might be delayed by a beneficiary contesting a will – contentious probate matters can be highly stressful and will delay the administration of an estate and distribution of any bequests. Who will carry out the work?

Probate

The exact cost will depend on the individual circumstances of the matter. For example, if there is one beneficiary and no property, costs will be at the lower end of the range. If there are multiple beneficiaries, a property and multiple bank accounts, costs will be at the higher end.
We anticipate this will take between at 10 and 20 hours’ work an average of £250 per hour, depending on the complexity of your case and who works on it.
Our legal costs
If the value of the estate is between:
£0 -£300,000 = £3000
More than £300,000 = this will be calculated based on 1% of the value
(All figures exclude 20% VAT unless specifically stated)
