Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
A solicitor is a qualified legal professional who gives advice, prepares documents, and represents you in legal matters. We help individuals and businesses with issues such as buying or selling property, family matters, wills and probate, employment disputes, and business contracts.
You can call us on [+91 – 90510 21963], email [admin@closeyourcase.developer.com], or use the enquiry form on our website. We will arrange a consultation at our office, by phone, or by video call, whichever suits you best.
Bring photo ID (passport or driving licence), proof of address (such as a recent utility bill), and any documents relevant to your matter, such as letters, contracts, or court papers. A short written timeline of events can also help.
Yes, we offer a free 30-minute initial consultation. We charge ₹2,500.00 for an initial consultation, which is deducted from your fees if you go on to instruct us. We will confirm this when you book.
Costs and Fees
It depends on the type and complexity of your matter. Before we start, we will give you a clear written estimate or quote and explain how we charge. We will tell you if the cost is likely to change and will not carry out work beyond the agreed scope without your approval.
Depending on the matter, we may offer:
- Fixed fees, common for conveyancing, wills, and powers of attorney
- Hourly rates, based on the seniority of the person handling your case
- Conditional fee agreements (“no win, no fee”) for certain types of claim
Disbursements are costs we pay to third parties on your behalf, such as court fees, search fees, Land Registry fees, or expert reports. These are separate from our fees, and we will explain them upfront.
In some cases, yes. Please speak to us early and we will discuss what options are available.
Working With Us
Timescales vary. A straightforward property purchase might take 8 to 12 weeks, while a contested court case can take a year or more. We will give you a realistic estimate at the outset and keep you updated if anything changes.
We will agree a preferred method of contact with you, whether phone, email, or post, and will update you at key stages. You can always contact your case handler directly with questions.
You will have a named fee earner responsible for your matter, supported by other team members where appropriate. We will confirm who they are, and who supervises them, in your client care letter.
Yes. Solicitors are bound by strict duties of confidentiality, and what you tell us is protected by legal professional privilege. We will only share information with others with your consent, or where the law requires us to.
Solicitors are legally required to carry out anti-money-laundering and identity checks on all clients. This is standard practice and protects both you and us.
Common Areas of Work
It is not a legal requirement, but it is strongly advisable. We carry out searches, review the contract, deal with the Land Registry and any lender, and make sure your money and ownership rights are protected.
If you die without one, the law decides who inherits your estate, which may not match your wishes. This can be especially problematic for unmarried partners, blended families, and those with dependants. A properly drafted will gives you control and can make things far easier for your loved ones.
It is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the ability to do so yourself. There are two types: one for property and financial affairs, and one for health and welfare. It must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used.
We will explain your options, including reaching agreement through mediation or negotiation, and guide you through the application process, finances, and arrangements for any children. We aim to resolve matters constructively wherever possible.
Keep copies of relevant documents and emails, and note key dates. Time limits for bringing employment claims are short (often three months less one day from the event), so contact us as early as you can.
Concerns and Complaints
Please tell us straight away. We have a formal complaints procedure, which we will provide on request, and we will investigate promptly. If you are not satisfied with our final response, you may refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, subject to time limits.
