Hi can anyone give me a rough guess how much the solicitors will cost . Partner finally god a job now he didn't qualify for legal aid (he hasn't even started the job yet) but they want £500 for him plea hearing next week . But how much after this. Were broke . The cars broken needing fixed . It's bad news everyday
It really varies. But he should be able to ask for a quote now so you have some idea.
I believe representation at sentencing was around £1200 for us.

Thank you so if it's £500 for the plea hearing . Then we're looking at £500 for magistrates/crown . So basicly is it only the 2 costs / 3 xx
He starts a few days before the plea hearing not sure how it's come about . Solicitor said he needs the £500 then he can look over the evidence and attend ect . Xx
Sorry Lee didn't see this . The solicitor has emailed he has the evidence and he wants to meet tomorrow . Not sure what this means . Partners is worried he asked what's going on he said he will go though it tomorrow xxx
Yes it's the duty solicitor he got to begin with. He told him not to think of prison he doesn't think it will be but you never know xx
Okay thank you . He has been getting a help done a course and speaking to a therapist. What he said they would find they have ect so hopefully it's all straight forward. Xx
Solicitor meeting today. Sed he's looking at a years custody. No contact with under 16 no public places . Said he is best to tell PCR that he's interested in children . Otherwose the judge will think he's in denial. Can't remeber what else but that was the jisy of it. They notes down that he's tried to delete eveidance they could charge him for it but it's on the notes ect xx

Your partner needs to talk to his solicitor and the solicitor really needs to step up.
The draft shpo can be challenged, but the barrister needs to do it in court on the day. We challenged ours and got internet only restrictions.
if your husband isn't attracted then he definitely shouldn't say he is, this will always be on record and can never be taken back.
he needs a letter from any courses he's done, letter from his therapist, accountability letter. You need to do a character reference letter for him
the psr is after the plea and before sentencing, they won't talk to you. Your husbands solicitor can send all the above info to probation so they have it for their letter.
the solicitor is being paid to act on your behalf, you need to push for them to step up and do their job. If you feel that they aren't you need to find a new one, we got a new one just before plea hearing. We had to pay for the plea and got legal aid for sentencing.

Yes I will thank you . Always seems like there unavailable to call or email back and things . So hard to get chance to talk anything through with the kids always here . I can't go along to anything because of the children and to be honest I don't really want to . I will have a talk through tomorrow and get the full story . He said the solicitor seemed okay last time and he's done many of these cases so we'll see . Xx
