How it works

1

Email me the details of your situation. I'll reply in writing — free of charge — with a clear explanation of your legal position.

You decide whether that's enough. Often the free email is all you need — you can forward it to your solicitor for their own assessment.

If a formal letter is needed, we go from there. I'll quote you a fixed fee before any paid work begins.

Start with step 1. No commitment, no cost — just email me your situation and I'll clarify the legal position.
