Solicitor fees.

Hi,

Is 1650 GBP for solicitor fees (not including home office 1093 GBP) helping with ILR via domestic route a little too much than the average price?

Just need to know. Cheers

And, in addition to the above. How do you check a lawyers experience? Any government website that keeps account of every case taken in by a particular lawyer?

I worry my lawyer ain't as good as I hoped she is.

Thanks in advance

The the option is open to you to discontinue her services.

Already paid over half of the amount. I'm having to pay the last instalments. Just made me think when I saw another on here for 1000 GBP.

Won't be worried if the experience and skills justifies it.

The fee seems about right although costs vary. If they are a solicitor they should be registered with the law society and if an immigration advisor, OISC registered.

Thanks for clearing this out. Just realised she is an adviser not a solicitor. Hopefully this is not a bad thing.
