Organising your initial fixed fee consultation is straightforward: please either enter your details in the Fixed Fee Consultation form on this page, or email me direct on s.martin@barrellison.co.uk. However you contact us we will respond promptly.
The consultation can be by video link or telephone whichever you prefer. We will arrange a time and day for the consultation which works for you. Consultations are available in the evening and at the weekend.
We offer a fixed fee of £50 for your initial legal consultation, which will take as long as it needs to. Here is a handy information sheet which outlines the areas which will be covered in your initial consultation: Divorce & Relationship Breakdown: What will be Covered at Your Initial Legal Consultation.
We look forward to hearing from you.
