META: Free initial consultations are offered by many firms of solicitors, but take note that some of these will only give over the phone free consultations. Once you find a firm that offers such a service what information should you look to ascertain from them?

Most firms of solicitors will provide potential clients with the facility to call them and take advantage of at least half an hour’s worth of free advice. However, is this helpful? Not as much as you might think. You will, throughout the half an hour consultation, be being assessed by the firm too, as they consider whether your case is worth taking on themselves. Solicitors, unfortunately, are all to keen to turn this type of situation into something for their own advantage.

With this in mind, it is always far more helpful if you can find a solicitor that will offer you a face-to-face free consultation. You may struggle to find a firm of solicitors in some areas of the country, that being said. You may tend to find that the largest cities and the areas where there is a lot of competition between different firms is your most likely location to find such a service.

This is because you can see, in person, how they work and meet the solicitor that would be taking your case on and representing you throughout your all-important legal matter.

If you are only able to secure an over the telephone free consultation, it is important to remember that this is YOUR opportunity to ascertain whether or not you wish to instruct them and not just theirs. Do not let them utilise the full half hour determining whether or not they feel there is potential business there for themselves. As they will if you let them. Use this time, instead to focus on your situation, after all the free consultation is for your benefit.

Of course you will have to set out the merits of the case, but you don’t have to take all day over this. If you are likely to go ahead and instruct them, then move on to finding out what the costs are to you. So that you don’t get any nasty surprises later, ask the solicitor to confirm the charges in wriitng. How they intend dealing with your case and the cost of each element are questions you should be asking your solicitor.

If you do not like the way in which your free consultation has gone, do not be afraid of declining this firm of solicitors’ service. There are plenty of other firms that should strike the right chord for you and you will find the solicitor that you feel will represent you the best.

Firms that get away with offering a poor service can be really annoying, so this to you is invaluable. Solicitor.info is one such site that will be of definite assistance to you in this regard.
