Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions clients ask most. If yours is not here, get in touch. We are glad to help.

Do I need to pay for the first consultation?

The initial consultation is where we understand your matter and set out your options. Get in touch by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form and we will explain any consultation fee clearly upfront. There are never hidden charges.

How are your legal fees calculated?

Fees depend on the nature and complexity of your matter. For many services, such as conveyancing, fees follow the prescribed Advocates Remuneration Order. For others, we agree a clear fee or estimate before any work begins, so you always know where you stand.

Where is the practice located, and do you serve clients outside Nairobi?

The practice is based in Nairobi and serves clients across Kenya. Much can be handled by phone, email and WhatsApp, and we are happy to arrange meetings for matters that require them.

How long does a succession or probate matter take?

Timelines vary with the size of the estate and whether the matter is contested. An uncontested grant typically moves faster, while disputes take longer. We give you a realistic expectation at the outset and keep you updated throughout.

Can you help me recover money owed to my business?

Yes. We handle debt recovery from the initial demand letter through negotiation and, where necessary, litigation and enforcement, aiming to recover what you are owed while protecting your commercial relationships where possible.

What should I bring to our first meeting?

Bring any documents relevant to your matter: contracts, title documents, correspondence, court papers or identification. If you are unsure what is relevant, send us a message beforehand and we will guide you.

Is everything I share kept confidential?

Absolutely. Advocate-client communications are privileged and your affairs are handled with the strictest confidence and discretion.
