Disbursements (additional costs that may arise in your case)


Occasionally we may have to pay third party expenses when preparing your case for court, we refer to such costs as disbursements. You will be responsible for the payment of disbursements in addition to any fees that we charge (unless we have agreed to cover these costs in the fixed fee). Wherever possible we will notify you in advance of any disbursements being incurred. Disbursements that can arise during criminal proceedings are:


  • Written advice from your barrister  (variable dependent on the seniority of the barrister and the complexity of the case).  Some clients, particularly those in complex cases, benefit from a written advice prepared by a specialist barrister. Where this applies an additional fee will be charged.
  • Conferences with your barrister during the preparation of your case. This is a variable fee dependent on the barrister. Your barristers fee will be made clear at the outset of your case.

Time Scales for Delivery of Service


It is difficult to be precise about how long your case will take to be resolved. It depends on a number of factors which include how quickly other parties respond, how quickly you respond to us and whether some resolution procedure is required via a court. At this stage our best estimate for dealing with your case is approximately 6-12 months, but external factors beyond our control may increase this time.
