Schedule a free consultation, or contact me via email, or a phone call.
During your free consultation, we will have a look at what you have at your hands, identify the key issues, explore potential solutions, and understand how I can best support you. You’ll leave with a clearer idea of your options and the next steps for moving forward.
To make the most of our first meeting, please prepare any relevant documents related to your situation, a brief summary of your legal issue, and any questions you might have about the process or what you hope to achieve. This will help me understand your needs better and provide you with the most tailored advice.
I understand that a lack of timely updates can make you feel anxious, isolated, or even fearful. That’s why I ensure you're kept informed about the key developments in your case, providing all the information you need to feel secure throughout the process.
Fees vary depending on the complexity of the case. I offer transparent billing practices and will discuss all costs upfront during the initial consultation. Book a free consultation to receive an estimated quote for your case.
The timeframe for resolving legal matters can vary greatly, depending on the nature and complexity of the case, as well as whether it can be settled out of court.
Here’s an overview:
Litigation and Disputes: Straightforward disputes that are resolved out of court typically take around 3 to 6 months. More complex litigation cases, especially those that proceed to trial, can take 12 to 24 months or longer.
Legal Arbitration: Arbitration tends to be quicker than litigation, with most cases taking 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity and the willingness of parties to cooperate.
Defence Cases (including Fraud Investigations): The duration of fraud investigations and defence cases can vary widely. Some cases might be resolved within a few months, while more complex investigations can take 1 to 3 years, especially if regulatory authorities are involved.
Reputation Management and Crisis Defence: Matters involving reputation management and crisis defence often require swift action, but the overall process can take 3 to 12 months depending on the severity of the issue, the need for media management, and any legal actions involved.
After an initial consultation, I will provide you with a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific situation.
