Fixed Fee Consultations - an hour with a specialist solicitor.

Our fixed fee consultations give you up to an hour with our specialist lawyers to discuss your legal question with them.

We cover a wide range of business, individual and family legal issues.

Book a Fixed Fee Consultation

Why choose a Fixed Fee Consultation?

Unlike many legal firms who offer a ‘free’ 20 or 30-minute consultation, we think it is important that you are given enough time and attention to discuss your own, specific circumstances, rather than be given generic advice that could just as easily be obtained on the internet. That’s one of the reasons why we charge for these types of consultations.

In many cases, we offer an initial consultation at a fixed fee of £149. There are some instances where this may not be the case though. For example, a Will consultation is free of charge.

What if my legal query is more complex?

If your enquiry requires detailed and/or complex advice, we may, at our discretion, offer an initial consultation at a higher fixed fee. However, this will usually still be less than it would be to instruct us on our standard hourly-rate basis. We will, of course, always discuss and agree this with you before your consultation takes place.

Call us on 01284 701131 to discuss your fixed fee consultation options.

No strings attached & no hard sell

After hearing our advice, you may want to take further steps.

Of course, we’d be happy to continue helping you but you’re free to choose us or any other lawyer you wish.

If you do decide that you want us to help further, we’re able to do most types of follow up work for a fee agreed with you in advance.

If multiple steps / options exist, we can often do work up to a certain stage/step for a fixed fee.

A few words from our clients

“

The team has been extremely helpful in giving advice relating to a property dispute. My fixed fee consultation meeting was very relaxed and helpful. Such a contrast to old-school stuffy solicitors and good value into the bargain.

I have only good things to say about Burnett Barker Solicitors. All the staff have been so helpful. They really do care about their clients and will try keep costs as low as possible.

I have used Burnett Barker several times for house purchases, Wills and other matters. I have always found them most helpful, courteous and their fees reasonable.

I was given sage and honest advice and opinions, which allowed me to make the best decisions for my particular matters.

For help and legal advice, call Burnett Barker Solicitors on 01284 701131. You can also send us a message via this website, or pop in and see us at 20 Whiting Street, Bury St Edmunds – we have free parking on site!
