Our Philosophy – What We Can Do For You
Our Role
It is a well known fact that during their lifetime the majority of people have very limited contact with lawyers and the law. The few occasions that contact is made is probably to make a will, buy a house and maybe for a minor traffic matter.
On these occasions clients are often intimidated by the legal surroundings, the practitioners legalistic manner and appearance and the legal mumbo jumbo associated with the matter being handled.
Coupled with this is the horror story the client may have heard of legal fees and costs thus creating an atmosphere which is far from relaxed.
Plus Law has been established to offer shop-front law at affordable prices in plain English without the mumbo jumbo so that the clients will feel relaxed and no different to that of discussing repairs to their television or ordering steak from their friendly butcher.
By the use of modern electronic technology and shop-front face to face practice Plus Law offer a premier legal service at affordable prices.
Plus Law are The affordable lawyers with the common touch.
Our role as lawyers is to apply our cross section of legal experience to your problems and your business to provide cost effective legal advice that allows you to solve your legal problems in a timely and friendly manner and move on with your business and your life.
There is no doubt that solving legal problems or settling them in a timely fashion should be the absolute objective of all solicitors.
Value for Money
Very few law firms explain their hourly rates in their website’s. Too many staff working at high hourly rates is the cause of over servicing and over charging. Before any step is taken or advice given, we turn our mind to the cost and benefit to the client. This is reflected in practical advice which includes the cost of implementing any advice given.
Our hourly rates are competitive and set per hour depending on the complexity of the matter. We believe our rates are more than competitive with other law firms and the advice and service of our staff equal to none.
Our cost effectiveness arises from our legal experience which leads to prompt assessment of tasks. The quality of our work means that things are done once and done correctly, without the cost of the frills and button up boots so often associated with a law office.
Quotes
We are more than happy to provide quotations on legal fees wherever possible. and prior to commencing a matter will provide a cost agreements and cost disclosure to the client.

This efficiency results in reduced costs. Only with our high standard of legal knowledge can we pledge to undertake matters with such a quick turnaround without the quality of work suffering.
