Frequently Asked Questions
Last Updated: 5 July 2025
How is this different from legal advice?
This is document preparation, organisation, and practical support—not legal advice. I don't tell you what the law says or what you should do legally. Instead, I help you get organised, write clearly, and prepare effectively so that when you do need legal advice, you can make the most of it.
How much do your services cost?
Fees depend on the complexity and scope of work required. I provide clear estimates upfront and work on either a fixed fee or hourly basis. Most engagements are priced transparently before any work begins.
How long does typical work take?
This varies significantly depending on the complexity of your situation. Simple document review might take a few days, while preparing comprehensive case material could take several weeks. I'll give you realistic timescales when we discuss your specific needs.
Can you work alongside my solicitor?
Absolutely. I often work in collaboration with legal teams, helping to bridge the gap between technical legal requirements and practical implementation. This can make your solicitor's work more efficient and potentially reduce overall costs.
What if I'm not sure whether I need a solicitor yet?
That's exactly when this service can be most valuable. I can help you organise your situation, understand what you're dealing with, and prepare material that will help you make an informed decision about whether and when to instruct legal representation.
How do you ensure confidentiality?
All client material is handled with complete discretion. I use end-to-end encrypted file transfers, zero-knowledge storage systems, and can work entirely offline when required. Your information is never shared with third parties or fed into AI systems without your explicit consent.
What types of situations do you typically handle?
I work with people facing family disputes, business breakdowns, tenancy issues, contract negotiations, and other situations where clear documentation and measured communication are crucial.
Do you work with businesses as well as individuals?
Yes, I work with both individuals and small businesses. For businesses, this might involve contract review, dispute preparation, or helping organise complex commercial situations before engaging legal counsel.
How do I get started?
Get in touch using the contact form on the homepage. I'll arrange a brief, confidential conversation to understand your situation and explain how I might be able to help. There's no obligation and initial discussions are always handled with complete discretion.
Still have questions? Every situation is different, and I'm happy to discuss your specific circumstances confidentially. Use the contact form to get in touch.
