About Feakes & Co

​At Feakes & Co, we are quick, efficient and responsive, and if we’re unavailable when you call we will always return a message. With us, you won’t be waiting for weeks to find out what’s going on with your file or case – we will update you and stay in touch by email and phone (or letter if you prefer).

We also have a transparent charging structure, so there won’t be any nasty surprises about fees.

If you instruct us, you can always speak directly to your lawyer – we don’t hide behind receptionists and secretaries! We are also happy to come to see you in your home or office – or meet you in a café! – whatever suits you best.
