Services
We act for privately paying clients and do not undertake publicly funded work. We are prepared to discuss funding options and payment plans based on each individual case. We also offer up to 30 minutes advice for a fixed fee starting from 50 plus VAT and free initial interviews are available for personal injury claims and under the "Lawyers for Business" scheme.
Once you have instructed Percy Short & Cuthbert LLP to act for you, a specific fee earner will be allocated to your case and will be your main contact within the firm. We will provide you with the fee earner's contact details in our initial letter to you. If the fee earner dealing with your matter is not available you will be able to leave a message, speak with his or her secretary or, outside office hours, use our 24 hour voicemail service.
We endeavour to provide you with a costs estimate as accurately and as early as practicable and will inform you at the outset of the hourly rate of the fee earner handling your case. There are rules governing the fees solicitors can charge and in accordance with those rules we take into account factors such as the complexity of the work, its urgency, its value and the time spent on it.
We are easily accessible by public transport (see Transport for London's journey planner for directions). On street parking is available on Alexander Road (around the corner from our office) but restrictions apply from Monday to Friday between 10 AM and 2 PM. However, parking restrictions on the side streets on the opposite side is between 10 AM to 12 noon.

I do NOT recommend this firm, since I have been treated shoddily by TWO different solicitors/paralegals. Oh and by the way, when any of these firms or solicitors say on their website or literature that they are “regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority”, don’t take any notice of that since that is thinly veiled self-regulation, since the SRA is a part of the Law Society, which is the lawyers own representative body and is absolutely notorious for doing next to nothing to help so many victims of solicitors. In 2012 they rejected a staggering 94% of complaints about solicitors, gave

Very unprofessional! I went there to get my passport application witnessed and the lawyer said my picture didn’t look like me! What a joke! I was so furious I have travelled so many times with my passport etc and never had this issue.. I left immediately and went to another solicitor luckily not far from where I lived and he signed it without any worries . The black lawyer there is absolutely useless! Don’t go in there waste of time!!!!! Wish I could give 0 star ! Unbelievable

I had a terrible experience here. My lawyer I was assigned did nothing for me as I tried to evict my tenants, he did absolutely nothing and was charging me very unreasonable amounts. The lawyers here will not advise you whether you have a chance of winning a case lr not, they tell you at the last second after having paid thousands of pounds and i then complained to then be completrly ignored bg everyone from this firm.
