+ How will I be charged? Is it no win no fee?

Patinos Personal Lawyers charges on a “no win, no fee" basis. This means that you are only required to pay our professional fees and outlays if we succeed by getting you compensation. This will occur either by negotiation of a settlement or by Court Judgement.

+ What happens if I don’t win?

If you do not receive any compensation then you do not have to pay our professional fees or outlays.
