Most people who need legal advice in the UK automatically turn to their local solicitor. They do so because that is the way their family has also got their legal advice. In the past that would have been the only option open to most people.
These days people have far more choice. The internet has made it far easier for people to find a solicitor and seek help. Some legal advisors will even give advice via a video call. Now that they can communicate about some aspects of the case via email or text things move faster.
There are many advantages to not automatically using your local solicitor for advice.
Here are a few of them.
Get More than One Opinion
For a fixed fee, some solicitors and legal advisors will take a brief look at your situation or case and give you an overview of your options. This makes it possible to sound out more than one advisor and get several legal points of view. This increases your chances of making the right decision about how to proceed.
Expertise
Being able to use a legal advisor from another part of the country allows you far more choice. It makes it possible for even ordinary people to find someone who has the right expertise for their particular case. This is vital because it increase the chances of your winning your case.
Lower Costs
Having a wider pool of legal advisors to choose from makes it possible to shop around for the best deal. You are no longer forced to pay by the hour.
It is now possible for most people to be able to afford to hire someone as experienced as Rodney Hylton-Potts of Hylton-Potts Legal Consultants in London. This experienced team offers a range of fixed fee services or a simple pay as you go service.
