Fixed Fee Divorces

King Street Solicitors LLP offer fixed fee divorces, designed to be a cost-effective way of providing legal advice and assistance.

We began to offer this service in response to client feedback, as many clients told us that they worried about how much their legal fees would be. Although this is a competitively priced service, we aim to provide certainty about legal costs coupled with excellent legal advice and client care. For more information about our firm, click here.
