Our approach
We give you a clear, honest view of your case, including likely costs and timelines, so you can make informed decisions at every stage. Where a settlement is in your best interest, we pursue it; where it is not, we prepare thoroughly and advocate firmly on your behalf.
Act promptly
Strict time limits apply to many civil claims, and responses to court documents often have short deadlines. If you have received a claim form or letter of demand, or believe you have a claim, contact us as soon as possible.
Frequently asked questions
I have been served with court papers. What should I do?
Contact an attorney straight away. Court documents usually require a response within a short, fixed period, and missing a deadline can result in judgment being entered against you.
Can you help me recover money I am owed?
Yes. We can send a formal letter of demand, negotiate payment and, if necessary, bring a claim and enforce any judgment obtained.
Do all disputes have to go to court?
No. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation. We always consider whether an early settlement is in your interest.
Is there a time limit to bring a claim?
Yes. Limitation periods apply to most civil claims and vary by type of claim. Seek advice early so that your rights are protected.
