Frequently Asked Questions
Unbundled work is where you instruct the Solicitor to do a specific task for you instead of acting on the whole case. A good example of this is, for example, helping you prepare a statement for the Judge but not being involved otherwise in the case, either before or afterwards.
You can appoint a Solicitor to act for you at any stage of the case. We find that many of our clients start on their own but get to a stage where they feel as though they are being ignored. We can repair things on a case at any stage and can always add value.
Yes. There are three things that we can do. Firstly, we can do some of the work for you and leave other parts for you to do yourself. Secondly, we have payment plans to make legal representation more affordable. Thirdly, at HRS we work in teams. You can agree at the outset that some of the basic work will be done by a junior lawyer who charges less, saving the complex work for the senior Solicitor.
It’s easy. Have a first free appointment and agree a plan, setting out what you want us to help with as the case proceeds. We will agree what we will do, and when. You do the rest.
A document setting out the legal case for the Judge to read. Usually used for important hearings to set out the “skeleton” of the legal argument.
Yes, and no! The job of the mediator is to try and settle the case and avoid it going to Court. That is fine but they are not acting in your interests. It is better to get advice, before, during and after the mediation process.
The thing to remember is that our Solicitors are specialists in their field and have trained for many years to qualify. You are paying for that education, time and specialisation, not just for the piece of work you are asking to be done.
We agree that Court fees are too high. Successive Governments have put the Court fees up and this is money that goes to the Government. It is worth saving up for the Court fee and the good news is that there is no need to delay getting help because we can advise and assist before the Court issue fee has to be paid giving you the time to do that.
Yes. We can analyse and advise on all aspects of a case that has finished and give you our fresh opinion even if you were represented by another firm. If we agree that the prospects of success justify an appeal then we can go from there and assist with this complicated process. There are strict time limits so do not delay.
