Testimonials

Woodfines were excellent
Having not come from the area we hadn’t used Woodfines before. We found them to be fantastic, timely and very diligent. Claire was really helpful and took away a lot of the stress by providing great advice.
Excellent service
Woodfines were a great choice of solicitor to sort out the litigation that had been going on for around 4 years. I was very impressed with the service I received from Claire, she kept me informed of what was happening at all stages and dealt with the issue effectively. I was genuinely impressed. I can't thank Claire enough for finally sorting this out for me!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can a personal dispute solicitor help me? 

    They can provide expert advice, help resolve your dispute cost-effectively, represent you in court proceedings, and negotiate on your behalf to protect your best interests.

  • How much does it cost to hire a dispute resolution solicitor?

    Woodfines is transparent about pricing. Our experienced solicitors provide a personal service tailored to your needs. Costs will depend on the complexity and value of your matter, but we’ll discuss everything with you upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Do I need a solicitor for a personal dispute?

    It will depend on the complexity of the dispute; whilst it’s not impossible to represent yourself, it’s good to receive professional advice.

  • How long does dispute resolution take?

    The timeline for resolving a dispute can vary significantly depending on its complexity, actions of the third-party involved in the dispute and the chosen method of resolution. While some matters may be settled within a few months, those involving court proceedings can take a year or more.

  • What’s the difference between meditation and litigation?

    Mediation is a form of resolution where a neutral third party helps those involved in the dispute to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Litigation is the formal legal process of resolving disputes through the court system.

  • Can I resolve a dispute without going to court?

    Yes, methods including mediation and negotiation can resolve disputes without going to court and are often faster and more cost-effective.

  • Is there a time limit for bringing a dispute case?

    Yes, there are time limits for bringing a dispute case. These vary depending on the type of claim. For example, breach of contract claims must typically be brought within 6 years, while property-related disputes may have a limit of up to 12 years.
