Crown Court

Legal Aid 

We do provide Legal Aid which can be subject to means testing and a contribution payment. We may not be prepared to represent you under a legal aid order if the legal aid payment in your case is insufficient to allow us to carry out the conduct of your case to the standard that we require. 

Private Fees

We appreciate that the prospect of being charged many hours of work can be daunting and therefore to provide certainty as to our fees we do provide fixed fees which can be discussed with the Solicitor.  The fixed fees are popular with serious offences in the Crown Court as we are able to provide one figure to cover both Solicitor and Counsel to include all preparation and trial advocacy. Please speak to us about this. 

For Crown Court cases we will need to discuss fees once we have reviewed your case and provide you with an estimate or fixed fee and so you should please contact Sharon Waggott at the office for this purpose. 

Emergency Conference with Counsel in London or at our Offices

We can in the first instance arrange early conferences with specialist Barristers in London before your first appearance in the Crown Court to discuss your case with fees starting from £1000.00 plus VAT (depending on Counsel's experience) to include Solicitor and Counsel.
