Hartnell Chanot: Divorce/Family Law Solicitors Exeter, Devon
Agency Appointments
We offer a comprehensive agency service in all areas of family law, at all levels.
Imagine - not having to spend hours of your hard pressed day travelling at minimal charging rates, knowing that back at the office your recorded time would be 3 times what you can charge for sitting in a car, and when the only chargeable time you may spend at court will be a few minutes for a short hearing.
Imagine - not having to park far from the court and having to carry heavy bundles.
Imagine - detailed attendance notes, an account for every minute spent and an e mailed report on the outcome of any hearing and any negotiations or important information being on your desk before you could have travelled back to the office.
Imagine - an awareness of the financial pressures of running a legal aid practice so that you do not have to pay agency charges until you receive the normal 6 monthly payment on account, with charging rates being those allowable for the appropriate level of fee earner.
Imagine - having at your fingertips the ability to use fax, phone, e-mail, copying, the internet, a comprehensive library and conference and refreshment facilities.
Imagine - having your own family law department on the door of the court, from which you can select from a range of 12 fee earners to deal with any family court matter, from conducting the advocacy to sitting behind counsel, for both private and legal aid clients, supplying support for clients and a professional service to you on which you can rely.
Imagine – not making the best use of such facilities? Wouldn’t you be mad not to?
