Make a Payment
Pay an Invoice or Consultation Fee
This page explains how to make a payment to Hopkins Solicitors for an outstanding invoice or a pre-booked consultation.
Before making a payment, please check the amount due and ensure you use the correct payment reference.
All payments must be made in pounds sterling (GBP).
Existing clients
If you are paying an invoice or making a payment towards your legal fees, please include your “OUR REF” number as the payment reference.
You can find this number near the top-left corner of correspondence from Hopkins Solicitors.
If you cannot locate your reference number or are unsure of the amount due, please contact your solicitor or our Accounts Team before making a payment.
New clients
If you have booked a consultation and have been asked to pay in advance, please include the date of your appointment and the name of the solicitor you are meeting in your payment reference.
If you do not know the solicitor’s name, please include the office location instead.
If you are unsure what reference to use, please contact our Accounts Team for guidance.

Protect Yourself from Payment Fraud
Payment fraud can occur when criminals impersonate a solicitor or intercept communications to provide fraudulent bank details.
To help protect your money:
- Verify bank details independently. If you are uncertain, call Hopkins Solicitors using a telephone number you know is genuine.
- Be suspicious of changes. Treat unexpected requests to change payment details as a warning sign.
- Check before transferring. Do not rely solely on email replies or a small test payment as proof that an account is genuine.
- Take action quickly. If you believe you have sent money to a fraudulent account, contact your bank immediately and notify Hopkins Solicitors.
If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from us, please contact the firm before taking further action.
