With today’s technology, it is as easy to communicate with someone in Liverpool, Delhi or New York as it is our next door neighbour. Replying to advertisements on TV, national press or a pop up on a web page couldn’t be simpler. However, buying a product is one thing; is it always such a good idea to use people you don’t know and will never meet for more complex services?

Talk about the problem

For example, if you were ill, would you want to discuss your condition with someone maybe hundreds of miles away by email or would you want to see a local doctor?

Similarly with legal advice, the benefits of using local experts can far outweigh the initial convenience of the internet and can be just as cost effective.

Meet the experts

You will have the advantage of face-to-face meetings where you can ask questions, get immediate replies and ask for clarity where necessary.

You have the convenience of calling in to a local office or if you telephone you will speak to the person handling your case, not a call centre.

Conveyancing

If you are buying a home, local solicitors will know a lot more about the local area and services. They will explain each step to you and be on the spot to resolve any issues quickly.

Personal Injuries

With Personal Injury claims, a meeting is essential so that your solicitor can see the effects your injury has on your life, not only medically but financially and socially. They can also visit you at home or in hospital.

Family issues

Family issues including Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Divorce are other areas where it is vital that you discuss your case in detail so that your solicitor can recommend what is best for you based on your individual circumstances. In this way solutions can be found to problems you may not have considered.  Such detailed appraisals cannot be done effectively by telephone or over the internet.

Treated as a person

In all legal matters where you need reassurance, professional advice and a resolution that is right for you, a call to your local lawyer should be your first step; you will be treated as a person and not a file number.
