No-Win No-Fee terms and guarantees

Progressive Solicitors works on a No-Win No-Fee basis. According to its own terms, a client who is honest and cooperative will not have to pay for the firm's services if the claim is unsuccessful, and any fees payable will be withdrawn. The firm also states that there will be no hidden fees and that clients who follow its advice will not be left with monies to pay in the event of an unsuccessful claim.

On representation, the firm guarantees that only solicitors, or lawyers with over 30 years of experience, will formally represent a client. It describes its combined experience in No-Win No-Fee personal injury claims as 105 years.

Client communication and case handling

The practice lists several channels for dealing with clients, including WhatsApp, online chat, text messages and email, alongside an online claim form and a mobile application for accident claims.
