During your case we will

- Estimated costs remaining
This calculation is provided to estimate the amount you will receive or pay if the case is settled in accordance with the offer to settle.
You will receive an itemised account covering the date, description and cost of each activity carried out in your matter. The account will also make clear the amount you have already paid, any advance payments and any outstanding payments owed.
If you are seeking legal representation other than Armstrong Legal and you receive an account that states only a summary of work done and you are given a lump sum amount and you require an itemised account ask for one. To receive an itemised account you must request the person send you an itemised costs account within 28 days of you receiving the non itemised account. The person must then provide you with an itemised account within 28 days of receiving your request.
