How to choose the correct Solicitor for your legal case

Part 2

Once you have worked with a particular solicitor and are happy with the service they have provided, it's often wise to develop a long-term relationship with them. If they understand the needs of you or your business, they will be more effective.

You can find a solicitor on the Law Society website.

How does No-Win-No-Fee work?

• You keep the entire compensation claim and all the costs awarded. The no win no fee solicitor who accepts your claim recovers costs from the third party and insures against losing. That way you keep everything without paying anything.
  This is not always the case.
• A conditional fee arrangement may release you from all liability to pay any money should the case lose, but it will require you to pay an amount should the case win.
• The phrases ‘no win, no fee’ and ‘receive 100% of your compensation’ do not mean the same thing. Check with the person who is taking the details of your claim that there will be nothing to pay if you lose and nothing to pay if you win.

Before launching a compensation claim ask yourself the following:

• Was the accident someone else´s fault?
• Did it happen within the last three years?
• Did the injury cause you un-necessary suffering?

Do I really need a solicitor?

Solicitors are not the only people who can provide legal advice:
Legal help may be available from:-

• other professionals, for example, an accountant who can give advice on tax and company law
• advice centres, such as the Citizens Advice Bureaux, housing advice centres, money advice centres, law centres
• other organisations, such as trade unions and motoring organisations
