Initial Advice and Case Planning

A clear overview of your position, practical next steps, and what to prepare before speaking to a solicitor.

Guidance without jargon or pressure, so you can make decisions with confidence.

Get Clarity on What Matters Most Right Now

When you are unsure where you stand, the first step is a clear plan. A solicitor can help you understand your position, what to prioritise, and what to do next.

This service is designed for early stage guidance, where you need a calm, practical overview of your situation and a short list of next steps. Where relevant, a solicitor can also explain whether Legal Aid may apply and what information is needed for an assessment.

Note: Legal Aid depends on the type of matter and eligibility rules. A solicitor will assess your circumstances and explain what support may be available.
