Could you claim against your landlord?
Damp, mould, leaks or a repair that never gets done — answer five quick questions and we’ll tell you whether you look like you have a disrepair claim, and what to do next.
- Council, housing association or private landlord
- Add photos and we can assess before we call
- No obligation, and nothing is shared
Not sure which visa you need?
Tell us what you’re trying to do — join family, work, settle, become British, or challenge a refusal — and we’ll point you to the route to look at, with the income and residence rules that apply.
- Covers family, work, settlement and citizenship
- Checks the current gov.uk thresholds
- General guidance, not a decision on your case
Both tools give general guidance only — they are not legal advice, and they don’t make a decision about your case. If you’d rather just talk it through, call 03300 430 197.
Our Approach
Five principles behind every matter
Every client is different, and every legal matter deserves individual attention.
Instructing a solicitor shouldn't feel like stepping into the unknown. From your first call to the final outcome your case stays with one solicitor — and the way we work rests on five simple principles.
01
Listening first
Before we advise, we take the time to understand your objectives, concerns and priorities.
02
Clear communication
Legal terminology can be confusing. We explain the law and the process in straightforward language, so you understand your options at every stage.
03
Practical advice
Our advice is focused on practical solutions — the most effective route to resolving your matter, keeping you informed throughout.
04
Professional standards
As a regulated firm of solicitors, we hold ourselves to high professional and ethical standards in everything we do.
05
Long-term relationships
Many clients return to us as their circumstances change. We value those relationships and the trust behind every recommendation.
Ready when you are — no obligation, no jargon.
Every matter starts with a straight conversation about cost.
Our Promise
Why Jefferson Clarke
Built for how clients want law to work now
e started Jefferson Clarke because too many people leave a solicitor's office more confused than when they walked in. We do it differently: modern systems, direct communication, and pricing you understand before any work begins.
i.
One solicitor, start to finish
Your matter isn't passed around a department. The person you meet is the person who runs your case.
ii.
Fixed fees wherever possible
For most immigration and housing work we quote a fixed fee up front — and hold to it. Where we can't, we estimate honestly and update you before costs move.
iii.
Plain English, always
Every letter, every call, every piece of advice in language you can act on. If it isn't clear, we haven't finished writing it.
iv.
Responsive by design
Enquiries answered within one working day. Updates when something happens — and when it doesn't, so you're never left wondering.
Why You Can Trust Us
A firm you can actually check
We’re a new firm, so instead of reviews you can’t verify, we’d rather earn your trust with facts you can check for yourself.
Authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, SRA number 8012711. You can look up our record on the SRA’s own register at any time.
Your matter is run by a named solicitor. Our Head of Firm, Talat Jabin, has been a solicitor since 2001 and is listed on the Law Society’s Find a Solicitor register for you to check.
Clear advice in plain English, and a fixed fee agreed before we start wherever the work allows. No surprises when the invoice arrives.
