Frequently Asked

Before you contact the firm.

These answers are general information and are not a substitute for advice on your specific facts.

When should I seek advice concerning serious crime?

Legal advice is most useful at the earliest practical stage, particularly before giving a detailed statement, signing documents, missing a limitation period or allowing an urgent situation to continue.

What documents should I bring for the first consultation?

Bring the complaint, notice, order, agreement, messages, identity documents, court papers and a short date-wise chronology. The exact documents required will depend on the matter.

Does a consultation guarantee a particular result?

No. Outcomes depend on facts, evidence, procedure and the decision of the competent authority or court. The firm does not promise or guarantee results.

Private Consultation

Share a brief outline of the matter. Sending an enquiry does not create an advocate-client relationship.
