TERRIBLE SERVICE - EXHORBITANT FEES
Having used Birkets twice previously I approached them to handle a small, but urgent legal issue. Without any proper or constructive consultation, with no evidence of hourly fees nor the estimated time likely to be taken I was told to pay an initial £3000+VAT before anything further would be done. This was a small piece of legal work by ANY definition.
To be clear: I used Birketts twice previously, had no issues, paid bills on time without question. So no negative history.
Therefore, to receive dismissive, finger-in-the-air fees not backed up with any data to demonstrate how those fees were calculated was appalling service.
£4000+VAT to write a one paragraph letter - literally.
I have found a direct access barrister at one third of Birketts' costs and an international London lawyer firm even less.
Shop around.
