Advice you can act on
Plain answers about what is likely to happen, what it will cost, and how long it will take — including when the answer is that court is not worth it.
You deal with the advocate, not a queue
You will know who is running your file and be able to reach them. No switchboard, no being passed to whoever is free.
Three offices
Nairobi, Mwea and Embu — so you are not travelling to the city for something that can be handled closer to home.
Fees agreed before we start
Hourly, fixed or a retainer — put in writing at the outset, so the bill is never the part of the matter that surprises you.

Meet the able teamQuestions people ask us
How much does it cost to see an advocate in Kenya?
Our first consultation is a fixed fee, agreed before you attend, so you know the cost in advance. After that, fees depend on the work — hourly, fixed, or a retainer. We put the basis in writing before we start.
How long does a land transfer take in Kenya?
A straightforward transfer usually takes eight to twelve weeks from agreement to registration, assuming the title is clean and consents are obtained without delay. Land Control Board consent and rates clearance are the two stages most often responsible for delay.
What happens if someone dies without a will in Kenya?
The estate is distributed under the Law of Succession Act. A family member applies for letters of administration, the grant is advertised, and after six months it can be confirmed and the estate distributed. Without a will the process takes longer and the family has less say in the outcome.
Do I need an advocate to buy land in Kenya?
You are not required by law to instruct one, but the transaction cannot be registered without a properly drawn transfer, and the searches and consents are where deals go wrong. An advocate who does the official search before you pay a deposit is the cheapest insurance in the transaction.
What does an advocate need from me at the first meeting?
Whatever you have — the letter, the title, the contract, the charge sheet, the messages. You do not need to have it organised. Bring your ID and, if the matter involves a company, its registration documents.
