Fees

Reiss Edwards pride ourselves on delivering a transparent service to our clients, we understand the difficulty in budgeting finances. In order to make costs clearer, our firm works primarily by way of fixed Fee. Our cost will be defined and fixed after we have been able to assess the time at which we anticipate your case may take. Once we fix our fee for the relevant service, it will not be varied upwards or downwards once instructed.

All client care letters and quotes sent have a validity period of 14 days and are subject to change if instructions are not received within the 14 days of the client care letting being sent.

The only way that we can fairly fix the fee for a service is after understanding the facts of the case in question. We offer such consultations over the phone or in person if resources permit. This typically can be done free of charge, although may be chargeable depending on complexity and resources.

After our initial free over the phone consultation, we will be better placed to determine the amount that you will be charged for the service in question, excluding disbursements, which primarily will be Home Office Fees (examples of potential disbursement list are provided below).

We have provided the below table in relation to what you may expect the cost of our service to be. If the facts of your case are complex and/or there are unforeseen circumstances, the cost may exceed the fees specified in the table below.

Disbursements

The Home Office fees and any associated expenses for third parties are paid by you directly to the relevant authority/company. The table below relates to our legal fees only. An example of disbursements for immigration cases may include, but are not limited to;

• Visa application fees;
• NHS fees (known as the IHS surcharge);
• Translation of documents;
• Postage costs;
• English language exam (and preparation if relevant);
• UK Naric;
• Expert reports; and
• Photocopying documentation;

Many of the above example disbursements may not apply to your case and are listed to give an indication of typical immigration related costs. As these fees do not relate to fees set by Reiss Edwards, we are unable to confirm the cost until we are formally instructed to act for you in your immigration case.
