Working With Warlows Legal
At follow up appointments
- Make an appointment ahead of time if you would like to have a Teams meeting with us. We may not be available to see you or be able to prepare properly for a meeting if you make a direct call to one of our solicitors.
- Write down any questions or comments you have and bring them to meetings with us rather than emailing or contacting us by telephone when you think of them. This will save you money as each phone call and email takes time for us to respond to which we will charge you for.
- Give us reasonable prior notice if you are unable to attend any appointment. Failing to attend an appointment may cause delays in the running of your matter and cost you money or prejudice your rights.
- Tell us before recording our conversations with you and give us a copy of the recording if we ask for it.
During the course of the matter
- Read any material we send you, including emails, letters and reports, and retain it in an organised format.
- Give us your instructions within a reasonable time when we request them. Your instructions should be in writing by email or post. Instructions by text message will not be accepted.
- Give us all information we request within a reasonable time. Any delay in providing all relevant material may cost you more money as we will have to spend time making further requests for the material and may prejudice your rights.
- Tell us promptly if your current address, email and telephone number changes.
- Tell us straight away if you are unhappy with the service you have received from us so we can improve it. You are welcome to contact Stevan Vujovic our Office Manager if you do not feel comfortable speaking directly with the person handling your matter.

- Pay our accounts within the time specified. You should tell us immediately if you are experiencing financial difficulties and/or are unable to pay our accounts in a timely manner.
