ECCOnoob Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hi I need some free advice from a litigation solicitor that also deals with property law Thanks for reading "litigation" is far to broad a description. It covers too many areas. To be honest, unless you are looking for injury advice there is no such thing as a "free service" these days. You might be able to track down somewhere that could have a brief initial consultation but anything beyond that is likely to incur a charge. Briefly what sort of issue do you need help with?

Wouldnt the fact they were asking for property expertise as well point towards property litiigation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Wouldnt the fact they were asking for property expertise as well point towards property litiigation? not necessarily, they may want to explore the litigation options on some issue and conclude a separate issue regarding property law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 not necessarily, they may want to explore the litigation options on some issue and conclude a separate issue regarding property law I stll think its reasonable to assume the two are connected, but the OP can clarify. If they wnat a specialist then then contentious property lawyers are much rarer than non contentious ones. Its unlikely a solicitors would book them an appointment without some preliminary streaming as to what their issue was and make sure they see the right person. As they seem to be after free advice, then its going to be very limited the advice that will be given, even fixed fee. If its L&T stuff and they are the tenant then they can go to CAB, Shelter or the Law Centre for free. Legal Aid is available for certain housing disputes. the OP should also check her insurance and credit cards as soemtimes they provide access to free legal advice.

999tigger Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks for the discussion guys some really helpful comments. If you have stated what the issue was in broad terms then it would be easier to direct you to the right help. There are some areas that can be handled by CAB or the Housing charities and there are others that they will not. However your right to keep it to yourself.

You say you want advice for free. You may not get it for free, but you cna asked for a fixed fee interview, which might get you an hours advice for a small fee. Be warned if you engage a solictor afterwards then litigation is expensive and you will be spending hundreds if not thousands of £s in a short space of time. You need to get estimates of costs, which they should give you anyway. They are businesses. If you want to make the most of your hour then you should write everything down on one page so they can get up to speed quickly and take along the relevant documents. Once you start suing someone then their attitude will change, so be certain you are unable to resolve your issues with them. Heres the Law Societys list for firms that might deal with neighbour dipsutes. Some of them wont be interested as your case will be too small. You will need to ring around and see if they can give you initial advice on a fixed fee basis. It might be 1h and youd be lucky if they write a letter. they arent oing to tell you much unless the answer is obvious. Irwins Howells Taylor and Emmett Thompsons Ring and see what they have to say there are plenty of others on the list. http://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/search/results?LocationId=sheffield-south-yorkshire&Location=sheffield&Pro=False&UmbrellaLegalIssue=LIUPRE&LegalIssue=LINDI&Language= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
