We have now hit over six-figures in refunds for our personal injury clients in just over two years, recovering £102,247.20 across 140 clients with an average refund of £730.34 per client.
We have successfully challenged many leading firms of personal injury solicitors who have been forced to refund the cash, following excessive 'success fee' or other fee claims.
In these types of cases the solicitors have already been paid their fixed costs by the other side and it is wrong that they hold onto this extra cash from the damages, without fully explaining why. They are often deducting from people's compensation double the amount that they should, and sometimes more.
Kerry-Anne Moore, Costs Lawyer and CMLF Director
Many of our customers don't know precisely how they have been stung by their solicitors, they just know that something seems wrong when they receive a much smaller proportion of their damages then they expected. That's when they come to us and we get the extra cash back for them, sometimes up to as much as 25% of their original compensation claim
A list of firms who have agreed, or been ordered, to refund legal fees to our clients following accident / injury claims is set out below. If your solicitor is on this list, it does not necessarily mean that there has been overcharging in your case, but it may be worth asking us to check.
By the same token, if your solicitor is not on this list, it does not mean that you do not have a potential claim.

We have a proven track record of helping people get reductions in fees or even cash refunds from their former solicitors following accidents at work, divorce, employment tribunals, litigation, probate, crime, judicial review, Inheritance Act claims, charging orders and even a petition to the Election Court (!), as well as road traffic accidents and personal injuries.
Anywhere a solicitor attempts to deliver a bill to their client, CMLF can help to assess (for free) if you have been overcharged, even if you have won your case.
