When should a lawyer be instructed?
Depending on the legal issue it is sometimes best to seek professional advice, guidance and representation. Some situations require expert guidance due to possible legal complexities surrounding the issues.
The best way to determine if you need to instruct a lawyer is to ask, if you can deal with the issue yourself.
First meeting: Some lawyers may charge a fixed rate or an hourly rate for your first meeting. Some lawyers offer the first half hour for free.
Fixed Fees: This is a contract that offers a fixed fee.
Hourly Rate: This kind of an arrangement is where the lawyer charges you a an hourly rate depending on their year of experience.
Conditional Fee Agreements ('CFA' or 'no win no fee'): This is a fee agreement where the lawyer only charges you if they win the case and if the case is lost, you pay nothing.
Payment on Account of Costs (sometimes called a 'retainer fee'): This is when the lawyer is paid a set fee upfront, Normally based on the lawyers estimate of how much initial work would cost .The retainer is then placed in your client account and the cost of your lawyers legal advice is then deducted from that account as and when they accrue.
