CIVIL CLAIMS

We can deal with a variety of civil claims, including the following:
  • Property disputes
  • Contentious probate and will disputes
  • Mortgage possession proceedings
  • Actions against the police
  • Judicial review
  • Debt collection

We can act for you in court proceedings, and also assess the claim and advise in relation to settlement with a view to avoiding expensive legal proceedings.

In deciding to make a claim it is important to appreciate the following:

  • Is the other person worth suing, and will you be able to enforce an order if you succeed in your claim.
  • Even if you win, you are unlikely to recover 100% of your legal costs.
  • If you lose you will be responsible for paying your own legal costs and the majority of the successful party’s legal costs.
  • If the claim is a money claim less than £5,000 it will be dealt with in the small claims court where the court is only limited costs can be recovered.
