Civil Litigation covers a wide variety of civil work including personal injury claims, unfair dismissal, debt recovery etc.
Such work does of course require specialist knowledge and ought to be dealt with by practitioners fully experience in dealing with such work.
Peter Howard is our Civil Litigation Expert. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives and has in excess of 25 years experience of dealing with such work.
He has dealt with many high value and complex claims, including group actions
such as the claims against ICI by Weston Village Residents. He is also a member of the Law Society Personal Injury Panel and a Member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
You may know that the Government has revised the Legal Aid system, resulting
in Legal Aid for Personal Injury Claims being abolished (except for extreme
exceptions).
However, at Byrne Frodsham & Co we do offer Clients the opportunity to instruct us under a "Conditional Fee Agreement" - better known as a "No win - No fee" arrangement. Such arrangements are of course becoming more and more popular with the public.
Some Clients, understandably, are a little reluctant to consult Solicitors particularly about civil litigation matters as they fear that they will incur huge expense even at the initial stages.
At Byrne Frodsham & Co we are prepared to see Clients for a free 30 minute consultation to enable us to discuss the case and its merits before committing you to giving us instructions.
Very often Clients do not pursue claims which ought to be pursued for fear of incurring legal costs etc. and do not even get to the stage of making initial enquiries. Under our initial free interview scheme we can put Clients at ease without charge so as to enable Clients to make an informed decision as to whether they would wish to proceed with the matter.
Where Legal Aid is available, we are willing to act under Legal Aid. Indeed
we do hold a Legal Aid Franchise in respect of Personal Injury work, (where now
available following Government changes to Legal Aid).
We are also willing to see Clients at home if this is more convenient to the Client.
Of course, success can never be guaranteed in any legal case but one thing is for sure - if you are involved in a legal case or considering bringing one, then the best person to consult would be a Lawyer. If you have the peace of mind of knowing that you can have an initial free interview, then you have nothing to lose by telephoning us and making an appointment.
Should you wish to discuss any aspect of civil litigation please do not hesitate to contact
Peter Howard.
