Our fees are competitive and we offer fixed prices for Schools, Case Managers and insurers as well as working within Legal Aid rates for Expert Witness cases.

This varies according to the complexity of the assessment and the individual’s abilities, but on average the assessments takes from 2-4 hours to complete.
