Serious & Complex Cases

Stephen Fidler & Co were admitted onto the Legal Services Commission’s Very High Cost Cases Panel soon after the Panel was created.

We have extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with a range of serious and complex cases, ranging from large scale international fraud, through to murders.

We are able to call upon our own in-house solicitor advocates, in order to retain the continuity of cases and a higher level of client contact.
