Instructing a Solicitor

We try to keep things as simple as possible. However, as with all other things legal, instructing a solicitor is not a simple process.

There are a number of options available to you as to the basis on which you can instruct a solicitor.  Before doing so you should check your house insurance policy to see if it covers the dispute in question and whether there is legal expenses insurance attached.  You should have a copy of the policy to hand to provide to the solicitor in any event.

If you have insurance the solicitor may be able to act under it.  If not then you are probably looking at either paying privately (you pay win, lose or draw) or a conditional fee agreement (CFA - also known colloquially as "no win, no fee"). 

We can be instructed at any stage of the case. We will generally agree to accept instructions at any stage up to 1 month from trial, but seek to encourage earlier instruction as the sooner we are instructed the more assistance we can give. You may think that you are saving money by leaving things to the last minute, but the reality is that this may turn into a false economy and it end up costing you more.

To instruct us you should contact us with your details or ring us on 01525 373322 to discuss the matter.
