Our Promise to you

Many people often put off pressing legal matters because they are worried that as soon as they speak to a solicitor, a 'taxi meter' style bill is mounting up. By the time they do consult a lawyer, their legal situation has often got worse, resulting in a more expensive and drawn out legal process.

Hewitts commits to an initial free legal consultation. During this chat, we will clearly explain where you stand in the eyes of the law and what action could be taken. We will advise you against legal proceedings if we believe this is not in your best interests. If you do have a case and you want to proceed with legal action, you will receive a clear quote of the cost of your legal advice. If you are eligible for legal aid, we will advise you and arrange that for you.
