Our fees depend on the complexity of each case and the amount of paperwork that is involved. We agree the workplan, including reading background court papers, undertaking assessments, interviews and observations, writing reports, discussing findings with other significant experts involved in the case, time for travel and time for attendance at court. We also charge a mileage fee for journeys taken and for cost of assessment and other necessary materials at cost, plus 10%. There are no hidden extras, no expenditure without your prior approval and no surprises. |
