Peace of Mind
We’re all used to getting second opinions when it comes to medical opinions, but slow to do it when it comes to legal opinions. On matters relating to disability rights litigation I have an increasingly busy practice in fixed fee advice reviewing decisions taken by other lawyers.
I can provide a discrete and fast opinion which can validate and give confidence in the way that your case is handled, make suggestions based on my experience, and in some cases can save significant amounts of time, energy and money.
Pricing
Before I undertake any work, I will need to know how much material I will need to review and will then provide a quote. My Hourly rate in accordance with MoJ Guidelines is £255 per hour.
I offer a fixed fee service based on a 3 hour review of documents and a 1 hour consultation with advice and Q&A’s for £1,000.00.
More complicated cases will be quoted at bespoke rates and approved with you.
I am also able to offer a 0% interest payment plan to spread that cost over 3 months.
“I came to Chris for a second opinion because my Trade Union Solicitors had advised me that my claim for reasonable adjustments would fail. Chris came back to me quickly with a couple of strategies which ultimately led them to change their mind, giving me free legal support and optimism that my work issues will resolve.”
—Lou McCourt

"As a LiP and feeling utterly let down by the legal process, I reached out to Chris at Scott-Moncrieff who very quickly got me the support of a barrister and within a very short time-frame and being flexible with fees helped me to negotiate the appeals process. I'm very thankful for the team's support when I needed it most."… Steve Shoker
