Here at Higgins Miller, we take our duty to provide the best possible service for each client extremely seriously. We specialize in areas of family law, and that means helping people to deal with highly stressful situations such as divorce, adoption, wills and probate and dealing with social services. We believe that everyone should have access to the best possible legal advice when it comes to dealing with complex and difficult life events such as these, and that’s why we’re happy to work as fixed fee solicitors 2022.
We understand that many people hesitate to access the legal advice they need due to worries about the cost. There’s no denying the fact that some solicitors are extremely expensive, but as fixed fee solicitors in 2022 we work extremely hard to make sure that our rates are as fair and competitive as possible. In addition to charging a fair and competitive hourly rate, we operate as fixed fee solicitors 2022, which helps to deal with what is often people’s biggest fear; that the fees they are charged by their solicitor will spiral out of control as the case progresses. We work in a completely transparent manner, which means that clients are fully informed right from the first time they contact us of exactly what we feel we can do for them and, just as importantly, what it is going to cost them.
Working as fixed fee solicitors 2022 is part of the overall approach we take to providing legal services, i.e. to offer the full range of support, from legal expertise to emotional reassurance. We know from experience that having a firm grasp on how much any legal action will cost them enables clients to stop worrying as much about finances and concentrate on the important issues at the heart of the case. When a case involves arrangements for children after a divorce, for example, the fact that we work as fixed fee solicitors 2022 makes it easy for all parties to concentrate on achieving the best possible result for the welfare of the children involved, rather than worrying about how much things will cost. Our focus on guiding clients towards mediation, and arriving at agreements rather than relying on court appearances is another means via which we aim to keep costs as low as possible, dovetailing with our work as fixed fee solicitors 2022 to provide the best possible service for the fairest price.
The approach of being fixed fee solicitors in 2022 begins with the first appointment a client has with us, which we provide for a fixed fee of just £80. For this, the client will receive a half-hour appointment with our fixed fee solicitor 2022, at which we will discuss the details of the case and offer advice on what the best course of action is. In many cases, this may involve the client acting on their own behalf, rather than needing to use a solicitor, in which case the cost of the fixed fee first appointment will ultimately have paid for itself many times over. Even if we do advise a client to deal with some aspects of a case on their own behalf we often still advise them to liaise with us on specific matters, such as making sure that a complex legal form is filled out correctly. If this does happen we’ll provide this advice on a fixed fee basis, charging a specific amount for checking a form or admission to a court and enabling the client to proceed with total peace of mind.
The advice we provide after the initial meeting with one of our fixed fee solicitors 2022 will take the form of a written report, detailing the likely timetable and costs. If it’s at all possible we’ll provide these costs as fixed fees, so that you can proceed knowing exactly how much our expert legal advice and support is going to cost. In some cases, the complex and unpredictable nature of a case might make it difficult to offer totally fixed fees, but we will still offer a detailed estimate of what we think the costs are likely to be and can make things easier by billing on a monthly basis or offering payment by installments.
In addition to working as fixed fee solicitors in 2022, we are amongst the increasingly small number of law firms still undertaking Legal Aid work, making it possible, in some cases, for people to access help toward paying their legal costs. We’ll use the fixed fee first appointment with us to determine whether a client is likely to receive Legal Aid, as they often are in cases involving children and the parent or person with parental responsibility where Social Services are involved.

We’ve recently passed our Cyber Essential accreditation, something which demonstrates our forward-thinking attitude and determination to remain ahead of the competition. The first 20-minute appraisal is provided free of charge, and we’ll give you the first appointment for a fixed fee, so you don’t have to worry about how much our advice is going to cost.
