What happens if a loved one loses mental capacity and does not have an LPA?
If no LPA is in place, you may need to apply to the Court of Protection for the legal right to manage their affairs, which can be a lengthy and costly process.
What evidence do I need to support my claim?
Strong evidence includes medical reports, accident reports, witness statements, photos of injuries, and any relevant financial losses (such as medical expenses or lost wages).
What does No Win, No Fee mean?
A No Win, No Fee agreement means you don’t have to pay legal fees unless we win your case and secure compensation for you.
What does divorce involve?
Divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage or civil partnership. You no longer need to prove fault – you simply confirm that the relationship has broken down.
The process includes:
- Submitting a divorce application
- A 20-week reflection period
- Receiving a Conditional Order
- Receiving a Final Order to legally end the marriage
Our approachable divorce solicitors will guide you through every stage, making the process clearer and less stressful.
What are the requirements for a Skilled Worker visa?
Applicants must have a job offer from a UK-licensed sponsor, meet the skill and salary threshold, and prove their English proficiency. Our team ensures compliance with all visa requirements.
What are the penalties for drink or drug driving?
Penalties for drink or drug driving include fines, driving bans, and even imprisonment in severe cases. Our legal team can explore possible defences, such as procedural errors or mitigating circumstances.
What are the eligibility requirements for British citizenship?
To apply for British citizenship, you must meet residency requirements, pass the Life in the UK Test, demonstrate English language proficiency, and have a good character record. Our solicitors can guide you through the process.
What are Right to Work checks?
Employers must verify an employee’s legal right to work in the UK. Failing to conduct these checks can lead to penalties. We help businesses stay compliant with employment laws.
What are dilapidations, and how can I avoid disputes?
Dilapidations refer to the condition of the property at lease end. To avoid disputes, tenants should understand repair obligations and document property conditions before moving in.
Should I sign a settlement agreement without legal advice?
No.
A settlement agreement is only legally binding if you have received independent legal advice from a qualified solicitor, so you cannot validly sign one without it.
Legal advice also protects you because a solicitor can identify unfair terms or an undervalued offer before you agree to anything.
