Your first consultation is always free. We also do not charge for any police station advice, or for our solicitors attending with you at a police station interview.

 

At court, if Legal Aid is not available or appropriate in your case, you can still enlist the expertise of our team at rates which are fair and transparent. While the cost of representation will depend upon a number of factors, including the complexity of your case, we are always happy to provide you with the certainty of a fee agreed in advance, and, if you prefer, usually the reassurance of a fixed fee arrangement, rather than fees based upon each item of work.

 

Payment plans can always be agreed in advance, should that be required.

 

For road traffic matters, please note that you have might have a motor insurance policy which provides you with cover for the legal costs of defending a motoring prosecution in Scotland. We would always be content to discuss acting for you on this basis. If you are in any doubt as to the terms of cover under any such insurance policy, again, we would be happy to examine the terms of any such policy at your first free consultation.

 

While a motor policy might cover you for road traffic cases, equally a home insurance policy might cover you for other legal expenses relating to other types of prosecution.

 

In short, the justice you want depends on access to the lawyer you need, and we, at Patterson and Company, are proud to provide access to justice through our commitment to representation via funding arrangements which are clear and manageable.
