Access expert legal representation without financial risk. You only pay if your claim succeeds.
No-win no-fee, formally known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), is a legal funding arrangement that allows you to pursue personal injury and negligence claims without paying any upfront legal costs. Simply put: if you don't win your case, you don't pay our legal fees.
This revolutionary approach to legal representation has made justice accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances. At Gary Matthews Solicitors, we're proud to offer genuine no-win no-fee representation for personal injury claims, professional negligence, and financial negligence cases throughout Dublin and Ireland.

Understanding how no-win no-fee arrangements work is essential before proceeding with your claim. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Your journey begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. During this meeting:
This consultation costs you nothing, whether you proceed or not.
If we believe your claim has strong prospects of success and you decide to proceed, we'll enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement with you. This legal contract specifies:
Everything is explained clearly in plain English before you sign anything.
Once the agreement is signed, we take care of everything:
You pay nothing during this entire process.
When your claim concludes, one of two things happens:
A success fee is an additional charge that applies only if your claim wins. This fee compensates us for the risk we take in pursuing your case on a no-win no-fee basis. Here's what you need to know:
In Ireland, success fees are regulated to protect clients:
At Gary Matthews Solicitors, we believe in complete transparency. Before you proceed with your claim, we'll clearly explain:
There are never any hidden surprises with our no-win no-fee service.
The most significant benefit is eliminating financial risk. You can pursue justice without worrying about legal bills if your claim fails. This is particularly important for people who have already suffered financial hardship due to their injury or the incident in question.
No-win no-fee arrangements democratize access to legal representation. You don't need savings or wealthy family members to pursue legitimate claims. Justice becomes available to everyone, not just those who can afford expensive solicitors.
Because we only get paid if you win, we're highly selective about the cases we take on. We only pursue claims we genuinely believe have strong prospects of success. This means when we agree to represent you on a no-win no-fee basis, you can be confident that experienced solicitors believe in your case.
Our success is directly tied to your success. We're fully invested in securing the best possible outcome for your claim because that's how we get paid. This alignment of interests ensures we work tirelessly on your behalf.
Traditional legal representation can create serious cash flow problems, especially for people recovering from injuries or dealing with financial losses. No-win no-fee eliminates this issue entirely – you pay nothing upfront and nothing throughout the process.
Knowing that you won't receive unexpected legal bills provides invaluable peace of mind during what is often a stressful time. You can focus on your recovery and rebuilding your life, not worrying about legal costs.

Unlike some firms that claim to offer no-win no-fee but have hidden costs or exclusions, our service is genuinely risk-free. We're completely transparent about all fees and costs from the outset.
We have a proven track record of successful claims. Our careful case selection and expert handling of claims means the vast majority of cases we take on result in compensation for our clients.
Our solicitors have decades of combined experience in personal injury and negligence law. This expertise ensures your claim is handled professionally and effectively, maximizing your chances of success and the compensation you receive.
We keep you informed at every stage of your claim. You'll always know what's happening, what to expect next, and what your options are. We're always available to answer questions and address concerns.
While many claims settle through negotiation, we're fully prepared to take cases to court when necessary. Our litigation experience means we're not intimidated by well-resourced defendants or insurance companies.
Accidents and injuries don't follow business hours, and neither do we. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide immediate advice and support.
If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay us nothing. We absorb all the costs of investigating and pursuing your claim. This is the fundamental principle of no-win no-fee representation – you take no financial risk.
The exact amount depends on the agreed success fee percentage, but in all cases, you keep the majority of your compensation. We'll calculate this precisely before you proceed, so you'll know exactly what to expect if your claim succeeds.
No. We're completely transparent about all fees and potential costs. Everything is explained clearly in writing before you proceed. There are never any surprise bills or hidden charges.
No. Under our no-win no-fee arrangement, if your claim is unsuccessful, you don't pay our legal fees. This is a binding commitment we make when we enter into the Conditional Fee Agreement.
Insurance companies often make early, lowball settlement offers hoping claimants will accept quickly without legal representation. Even if you've received an offer, contact us for a free assessment. We can review whether the offer is fair and, if not, negotiate for significantly higher compensation on your behalf – still on a no-win no-fee basis.
Yes! That's the entire point. No-win no-fee is designed specifically for people who couldn't otherwise afford legal representation. You pay nothing upfront, nothing during the claim, and nothing if the claim fails. Legal representation becomes accessible regardless of your financial circumstances.
Timescales vary depending on the complexity of your claim, the defendant's response, and whether court proceedings are necessary. Simple cases may settle within 6-12 months, while complex claims can take 2-4 years. We'll provide realistic timescales based on your specific circumstances and keep you informed of progress throughout.
Most personal injury and negligence claims settle through negotiation without needing court proceedings. However, if the defendant refuses to make a fair settlement offer, we're fully prepared to take your case to court. If court attendance is necessary, we'll prepare you thoroughly and support you throughout the process.
