As a modern & progressive business we have moved all of our engagements to a fixed-price agreement model.
The biggest issue with legal support in Family Law is hourly billing, and having no idea how much the job will be until the bill is received. We don't think that is fair on you.
With A Father’s Friend, you will always know how much you will pay for services in advance, and will always have the opportunity to discuss the agreement before we get started on any work.
If new work is required outside of the scope of our existing agreement we will issue a written proposal for you to accept (or discuss) before we start new services.

Time
Most solicitors and paralegals charge an hourly rate for their services, but the length of time required will depend on the type of service. Different legal services may take different amounts of time to complete until all parties are satisfied.
Many dads are left with unaffordable legal bills with little or nothing to show at the end of the process. Solicitors are part of the legal system and have a vested commercial interest in long, transactional legal cases and have little empathy with separated fathers.
What does this mean for you?
With our fixed-price agreements, It places the risk back on us. You don’t have to worry about paying for more hours than you thought it would take.
We have to focus on being more efficient to ensure our relationship is mutually beneficial. This means we can constantly improve the quality of the services we deliver to you.
All of our fixed-price agreements include support and regularly scheduled review sessions. In fact, we encourage constant communication. Becoming your trusted legal support is our mission and open communication is key.
