Why Choose Ellis Hass?

We are acutely aware of the sometimes unhelpful reputation of Solicitors firms as being ‘stuffy’ or ‘old-fashioned’ and the idea that solicitors will charge hundreds if not thousands of pounds for very little or overly academic advice - after all you don’t instruct a solicitors firm unless you have a problem! Ellis Hass & Co will work on a No Win No Fee basis and we will discuss the Success Fee deduction at the start of your legal claim so there are no surprises.
