Omega Solicitors & Advocates offers a niche legal service with very reasonable fees and flexible payment terms for all our clients.

On initial consultation, we charge a one-off initial consultation fee of £100, which is non- refundable. This fee is regardless of continuation or discontinuation of your instructions.

Any fixed fee as in the Fees Table, will cover our services on your instructions in respect of your immigration matter. This includes all attendances and written and telephone correspondence, checking on the progress of your matter and informing you about the progress.

The money you pay to us is treated as office money and will be paid into the office account. However, our agreed fee and hourly rates are exclusive of Value Added Tax, disbursement, court fee, the counsel fee and printing, photocopies and postage fees, costs of instructing experts, i.e. medical experts or interpreters. You will be advised about any additional disbursements when necessary.

These fees also do not cover the cost of submitting a new application, and appeal or a judicial review in the event that the application has been refused, or ad hoc support and advice.

For fixed fee arrangements, payment must be made fully at the outset, unless a separate arrangement for the payment has been agreed. If you cannot afford to pay our fee in full at the time of instructing us in relation to your matter, you may be able to pay part of the fee at the time of instructing us and the rest of the fee should be paid within 3 months.
