For most of the cases we take on at Halton Law, your case will be handled by barristers from start to finish – from the initial consultation till your final hearing is concluded. No agents, case workers or paralegals will be involved. Our barristers attend Courts on a daily basis and possess sound expertise and experience in both litigation and court room advocacy.
Legal Expert All the Way Through
Multi-disciplinary Practice and Quality Service
We pride ourselves on the high standard of legal service we provide. Our practice is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and all our barristers are also regulated by the Bar Standards Board. You can rest assured your case will be in the safe hands of professionals rather than unregulated individuals or organisations.
Competitive Fees Structures
Have you been asked to pay extra fees for “counsel’s advice”/”counsel’s attendance fees for hearings” when you are already paying the solicitors? At Halton Law, as your case will be handled by a barrister directly and only that barrister, the fixed fees quoted to you at the beginning will include the hearing fees and there certainly will not be any fee for “counsel’s advice” as we are the counsels. Therefore you will be able to better budget your case right from the beginning.
For the areas where we can offer fixed pricing, please refer to the table below.
Multilingual Services
Our diverse team of barristers can speak Urdu, Pashto, Hindi, Farsi and Mandarin, so that we can best understand our clients’ cases without any language barriers.
FAQ
For all the areas of Law we practice at Halton Law, you will not need the involvement of a solicitor as you can instruct our barristers from Halton Law directly. All our barristers can conduct litigation for you just like a solicitor would do.
In some cases where the clients have tight budgets, subject to suitability, we can also attend hearings only during the proceedings while the clients litigate for themselves.
The Scheme enables the public to instruct barristers directly rather than though any solicitors. We often find our barristers will have a better understanding of the case at the final hearing through this scheme as they will have handled the cases all the way through. At the same time, clients will save costs as all stages. For instance, there will be no costs for “counsel’s advice” or “briefing counsel”
Very simple – once you contact us, either through telephone or email, one of our barristers will be in touch shortly (if they are not in the office) for a brief consultation so that you can briefly explain your case to them. For most of the areas we practice at Halton Law, at this point, we should be able to offer you a quote for your case for you to decide whether to proceed or not. Such quotes are likely to cover your whole case from start to the final hearing.
