FeesWe recognise that seeing a solicitor often comes at a difficult and stressful time in our clients' lives. We aim to provide high quality legal advice combined with value for money, and believe our rates are very competitive. Our location in Tottenham in north London means that we are conveniently placed for our clients, yet do not have to pass on the high costs of working in Central London. Our costs commitment to our clients is:
Our fees are calculated on an hourly basis, depending on the seniority of the lawyer working on the case, and the complexity of the matter. For straightforward and routine cases, our hourly rates are:

and expenses. Complex litigation cases will attract an uplift on the hourly
rate, but this will be discussed and agreed with you in advance. Wilson & Co also acts for Legal Aid clients. To see if you are eligible for Legal Aid, check the eligibility calculator. Diagnostic Interview
We have been offering the diagnostic interview since early 2004 and have found it very popular with prospective clients. Some use it as an opportunity to simply get a second opinion from an expert. Sometimes people proceed to make the immigration application themselves on the basis of advice in the diagnostic interview and incur no further legal costs. Others instruct us to do further work and we agree fees with them. Fixed Fees In straightforward cases, we can offer fixed fees for the following applications:
Our fixed fees exclude VAT, Home Office application fees and disbursements. For an additional fee of £150 we can arrange for your application to be taken in person to the Home Office to be processed under the premium same day service. Our fixed fees only cover the cost of preparing and making the application. Should an appeal or challenge be necessary, we will agree separate fees with you. Diagnostic Interview
