These are all services you rely on at important or stressful times in your life and the costs to you or your business can be significant when things go wrong.

Contact our lawyers and explain your situation and the outcome you’d like to achieve.
Once our solicitors have assessed your claim, we will discuss the different options you may have and the strategy to achieve this.
We will explain the different options available to you. Once agreed, we will work on your case and keep you up to date throughout.
Hodge Jones & Allen will always explore all possible ways of funding your case. There are examples of funding below and our fee earners will be able to explain these funding methods in greater detail at the initial meeting and, if appropriate, during the running of your case.
We check with clients whether they have the benefit of legal expenses insurance (also known as before-the-event insurance). This type of insurance is normally to be found on household or motor insurance policies, but we would always advise you to check all your insurance policies, premium bank accounts and credit cards as these can sometimes provide it too. If you do have such cover then you should notify the insurance provider straight away.
If you cannot afford to progress your case we might be prepared to act on a conditional fee agreement basis (“CFA”). Before agreeing to fund your case with a CFA, we must assess your case carefully. If we agree to act under a CFA, and you win your case, a percentage deduction will be taken from any compensation you receive.
For privately paying clients we charge for work based on time spent on a case. At the outset of a case you will be provided with details of the relevant lawyers’ charging rates, as well as being provided with estimates of time and costs throughout the duration of your case for each specific stage of work.
We understand how difficult it can be to trust when you have already been let down by a professional. Our solicitors will endeavour to keep you up-to-date throughout your claim, putting you at the heart of the claim.
Our exceptional team of lawyers have a track record of challenging the most formidable opponents, and we have won claims against professionals of all kinds. We are here to help you correct the wrongs of professionals in any way we can, and get the best result possible.
Our dispute resolution team is committed to providing a first-class service at cost-competitive rates. Our philosophy is to firstly understand your personal situation, your requirements and what you would like to achieve, to then tailor our approach.
