Being charged introducer fee
Hi,
I found my solicitor through a referral agency and I have received the completion statement from my solicitors. In the client care letter received when we contracted them it mentions the referral fee as I believe they are required to and says it is inclusive in the legal fees (fixed price). On the completion statement the fee is the same as on the client care letter but they have also billed me for the introducer fee. Having queried this they say that this is a separate fee I have to pay on top of the legal fees but I was under the impression that this was expressly against the law society code of conduct which appears to say that referral fees can be included in legal feesbut cannot be charged separately to the client... Any thoughts? Thanks Jon
