A safe pair
of hands.
DMD Costs is a specialist costs practice that exists to do one thing exceptionally well: recover standard-basis costs for claimant solicitor firms — and keep your fee-earners on the claim while we do it.
We're drafting-only support — no advocacy, no lay clients. Decades of combined experience across Housing Disrepair and MoD NIHL mean we know where bills get cut, and how to protect entitlement before it's challenged.
Our fee is fixed and agreed before instructions are accepted. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due when your firm receives its recovered costs from the paying party.
Three things we never compromise.
Accuracy
Clean phase coding, correct rates and narratives that hold up under the closest scrutiny. Every figure is defensible.
Proportionality
We build bills and budgets that read as reasonable — so the conversation is about recovery, not reduction.
Speed
First drafts normally within five working days of complete papers. Predictable turnaround means better cash flow and fewer write-offs.
Illustrative view. Item names and outcomes are fictional.
We don't just draft bills. We build the argument for recovery into every line — before the paying party ever sees it.
