We can advise whether the amount is too high and help you challenge the bill if we think you have been overcharged. You may find yourself being sued for unpaid fees and we can help resolve the situation and negotiate a reasonable settlement. In certain circumstances, your solicitors won’t be able to charge you at all if they haven’t finished the job.
