Whatever legal service you need, you have the right to be treated professionally and with care by your solicitor. There is one interesting responsibility straight from the SRA (body that regulates solicitors): make sure your solicitor explains things clearly using words you can understand and using as little jargon as possible. This is an amazing advance from what the profession used to be. You need not feel threatened about going to see your solicitor. Obvious point but in the end it’s coming out of your pocket. I am happy to say that all my clients are happy with how I explain things. I have had clients instruct me because their solicitor was not explaining things clearly. Strange but it does happen.

March 25th, 2011ONLY WINNERS IN LITIGATION ARE THE LAWYERS
March 5th, 2011I attended mediation yesturday and I was very pleased to note the parties settled. Mediation has to be attempted with an open mind. Parties need to try and put aside their differences and look at the costs of litigation. The only winners in litigation are the lawyers. All I care about is my client was happy with the outcome and has told me that he would recommed my firm.
