Information about our charges

Pengillys are committed to providing transparent and realistic estimates when it comes to costs and timescales. In accordance with our Lexcel accreditation we will provide you with a formal estimate at the beginning of any instructions and keep this estimate updated throughout the case.

Whilst it is of course difficult to give estimates that cover each and every unknown possibility we endeavour to provide as accurate estimates as possible. If circumstances change throughout the course of a matter which may have an impact on costs or timescales we will contact you to advise of the change as soon as we are able to. That said, we feel that our wealth of experience means that we are confident in providing realistic estimates at the outset.

We are obliged to advise you of the potential risks when receiving instructions, especially when it comes to litigation matters. Again, these will be explained to you prior to any work being commenced on your behalf. If this causes you specific concerns then of course we are happy to discuss them in depth with you at the outset.

We have a reputation for providing a high level of service to our clients, both existing and new. We always strive to continue those standards and our charges reflect the tailor made service we provide. We consider our charges to be competitive within the local and national market.

Where we offer a fixed fee service those costs are noted in the drop down menus below along with our fee earners’ hourly charge out rates. This includes details of any available legal aid provision within “Family & Relationships”. These are designed as a rough guide and will be tailored upon enquiry.

Please use the enquiry form or contact us for a specific tailor made estimate for our services.

We welcome all clients to our offices in Weymouth and Poundbury and whilst it is preferred if you are able to make an appointment of course in the event of an emergency we would be pleased to assist.

Payments are welcome via cheque, debit/credit card or bank transfer to the firms client account noting the correct client reference.
