Transparent Legal Fees

I offer an initial fixed fee meeting at an inclusive cost of £150. You need to find out your options and to meet me so that we can be sure that I am the right person to help you.

My costs will be transparent.

In some cases there may be a fixed fee element (for example if you are the party bringing a divorce, the Petitioner, the charge will be £1,270 including third party expenses, plus VAT where appropriate). In other cases there will be a standard hourly rate of £250 plus VAT (£300 in total).

In all cases we will discuss the likely cost at the outset and I will keep you regularly updated. I will also provide advice on how to keep your costs to a minimum and will invoice you on a monthly basis.

Unlike most law firms I will not seek an initial payment on account and in return will ask you to pay my invoices within 14 days.

You may also incur costs to third parties, including the court, independent experts or barristers. In all cases I will discuss the necessity of such expenditure with you in advance in order to help you budget.

I do not offer public funding.

‘Many many thanks for all your help. It was very reassuring to have the process explained with such clarity and I really appreciated the guidance as to what was a reasonable position to take. You have been wonderful at keeping the process moving forward….with tact, diplomacy and good humour.’
Collaborative Client

'At a time when my marriage and family had broken apart, the thought of further agony as a result of bitter and expensive divorce proceedings was not something that I relished. I fortunately spoke to Lynne Passmore, who explained about the collaborative process and this certainly appealed to me. Although this was still a very apinful process, it was not exacerbated by arguments between myself, my ex husband and our solicitors. We sat around the table and decided amicably how the marital assets were to be split and also importantly about the arrangements for our children.
It was not a long drawn out affair and has allowed my ex husband and myself to begin to forge a new and amiable relationship. Most importantly our children have not been embroilled in a bitter and twisted battle.
I would highly recommend this process'.
