What our customers say about us
Valla genuinely cared.
Legal fees can be overwhelming, but Valla’s legal coaching is a fraction of the cost of a solicitor. More than that, they genuinely cared.
Valla’s platform made organising my case simple.
I could upload my evidence, store my emails, and structure my discrimination claim with references to legal documents. For the first time, I felt in control.
Valla isn’t just a legal resource — it’s a lifeline.
It gave me the tools, the knowledge, and the resilience to fight for what was right.
Why use Valla?
A law firm can cost anywhere from an initial consultation fee of £200 to £35,000+ plus VAT for Tribunal representation.
Valla offers users low-cost alternatives to pricey law firms. We can help guide you through the process and generate legal documents for your use.
Lawyers can be expensive. But access to justice doesn’t have to be.
