Compare fee arrangements
You will need to compare the fees, the expertise, the length of time they would predict for your case. What is also important but sometimes overlooked is your intuition and personal chemistry with the solicitor. Communication is an extremely important factor between a solicitor and his or her client. We’ve all heard of calls not being returned or answered. How frustrating is that? Solicitors are in demand. Their work is also demanding. How can you secure your time needs with a solicitor?
Solicitors use a range of methods by which they charge fees. Some charge by the hour, others rely on a fixed fee and or conditional fee arrangement where the final cost depends on the success of your case. You should consider how you are going to pay for the fees. Some people may need a legal insurance arrangement. A good solicitor will explain the options available to you regarding paying for the services.
Solicitor specialist skills
Some solicitor firms are known for their expertise in certain legal areas, whereas others prefer to provide a range of services. High street solicitor practices are mainly service the local community. They need to be flexible in the range of services to tailor to their community focussing on local issues.
Nowadays, people are increasingly using the internet to find solicitors that would most closely match their requirements. Thus it is possible to instruct a solicitor that works a long distance from you with a few in-person visits.
