Common Questions

Legal Questions,
Plain Answers

We believe every client deserves to understand their legal position clearly. Here are answers to questions we hear most often.

Ask Your Question
During your free initial consultation, we assess the merits of your matter honestly. We will tell you clearly whether we believe you have a strong case, what the likely outcomes are, and what it would take to pursue it — before you commit to anything.
Our fees depend on the nature and complexity of your matter. We offer transparent, upfront quotes before any work begins. Some matters are billed on a fixed fee basis; others on an hourly rate. We never surprise clients with unexpected charges.
A standard property transfer in Kenya typically takes 60–90 days from signing of sale agreement to completion. Delays are often caused by the Lands Registry. Our team actively manages the process to keep your transaction moving efficiently.
Absolutely. Attorney-client privilege is a cornerstone of legal practice. Everything you share with us is strictly confidential. We have never and will never disclose client information to any third party without your express written consent.
Yes — we handle matters across all 47 counties in Kenya. While our offices are in Nairobi, we regularly represent clients in courts and land registries across the country. Many client interactions can also be conducted remotely for your convenience.
