FDC Law
FDC Law:
At FDC Law, we are proud to deliver trusted, client-focused legal services to individuals, families, and businesses across Somerset and Bristol. Formed in 2002 through the merger of two long-standing local firms—Faulkners and Daniel & Cruttwell—we trace our rich regional history back over 400 years.
Operating from our three dedicated local offices in Midsomer Norton, Frome, and Keynsham, we offer a truly hands-on, face-to-face service. As an entirely independent firm, we never pay or receive referral fees, ensuring our advice remains strictly focused on achieving the best possible outcome for you.

Transparent Fee & Funding Options
We believe that high-quality legal support should be accessible and financially transparent, which is why we break down our options into distinct, predictable funding models:
Free Initial Consultations
• Free 30-Minute Assessment: For many legal issues, we provide a free initial consultation of up to 30 minutes.
• Flexible Formats: This initial assessment can be conducted face-to-face at our offices or over the telephone, allowing you to discuss your case with a specialist lawyer before committing to further action.
2. Fixed-Fee Arrangements
• Fixed-Fee Divorce Packages: We offer an undefended Fixed-Fee Divorce Option as an alternative to an hourly rate. This provides a structured framework that includes a formal 1-hour instruction meeting, petition preparation, and court filings, giving you clear budgeting certainty upfront.
• Property Estimates: For home sales and purchases, we provide a free upfront estimate of costs, detailing exactly what is owed to third parties without hidden surprises.
• Tailored Pricing Letters: For all other matters, we supply a detailed written cost estimate in your client care letter to match your precise budget requirements.
3. No Win No Fee Funding
• Personal Injury & Accident Claims: If you have been injured or received inadequate medical care through no fault of your own, we can assist. Where a claim shows strong prospects of success, our team operates on a Conditional Fee Agreement (No Win No Fee) structure to protect you from upfront financial risks.
