The cost of your case
It may not be possible to give you a precise cost of your case at the outset of a summary only motoring offence but it is possible to indicate the range of costs. The reason for this is that every case is different and will depend upon a number of different factors, some of which are listed below (but there may be others)
Brian Koffman is a Grade A Solicitor with over 45 years’ experience and his hourly rate is £225.00 per hour plus VAT (@ 20%)
This rate is for attendances, preparation and advocacy. Travel and waiting are charged at half rate, plus disbursements. Disbursements will typically include mileage and parking or public travel costs.
Letters and telephone calls are charged at 6 minute units at the above rate.
A typical example of dealing with a guilty plea for a drink driving offence would be as follows:
No two cases are the same but the above is a simple illustration of what you might expect in addition to any incidental correspondence and telephone calls but to avoid uncertainty we would be happy to agree a fixed fee in advance if possible.
Time to pay
We believe that everyone should have access to high quality legal representation and if you have difficulties paying our fees immediately, we are happy to discuss stage payments on the basis that all payments agreed have been paid prior to the final hearing date.
Unforeseen circumstances
If an unforeseen circumstances arises which means additional work to that agreed, we will inform you of this and provide revised costs information. An example might be where your case does not proceed on the date of hearing due to circumstances beyond our control. In such an event, we will give you credit for any time saved in calculating the costs of any additional work.
No win no fee
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not undertake this work on a no win no fee basis.
Timescale
In summary only matters cases are typically completed within 1 - 6 months.
