We at Kempsons provide a special service to clients who are unhappy with their accounts rendered to them by their lawyer. Legal fees are expensive, but we provide a service to check their accounts and if you are unhappy to negotiate a reduction.

Kempsons provide a legal fee review service for businesses and individuals who face large legal fees. Clients of lawyers have redress through a variety of channels, but often it is merely a matter of negotiating a fair and reasonable settlement of outstanding bills and this is the service that we offer.

If you are not happy with your legal bill, we will review the work performed, and evaluate the same, and if we are of the opinion that the costs are too high, we will endeavour to negotiate a fair and reasonable compromise.
