You only really need a Solicitor when you are in trouble, getting divorced, moving house, suffered an accident or injury or you have a serious legal problem – but whatever the reason, it is crucial that you find the right one to handle your case.

Here are some top tips on making sure you find the right Solicitor:

• Check that they are registered with The Law Society – this will ensure you are dealing with someone who is fully qualified.  Unqualified persons may well have a lot of knowledge, but they are not proper Solicitors and therefore any advice that they give cannot be relied upon with the same degree of faith as it would with a Law Society backed Solicitor

• Consider what you need a solicitor for, choose one appropriate to your case e.g. Criminal Law, Family Law, Conveyancing etc.

• Be aware that Solicitors can be expensive.

• Use a Solicitor that comes highly recommended.  There are several solicitors listed on The Best of Telford and Wrekin who come highly recommended by local people.

• Make sure the Solicitor provides you with the likely cost of handling your case.  Some Solicitors even offer a Fee free first consultation.

• Don’t be afraid to ask any questions and make sure you fully understand what the Solicitor tells you.

• Check that they will keep you regularly updated on progress.
