Claims against Solicitors or Barristers
When somebody comes to a solicitor they are doing so because they need help with a specific legal situation. As we should know, they expect a competent service to help them get the result they want, and put all of their trust in their solicitors to perform to the best of their ability.
Unfortunately, sometimes solicitors fall short of these expected high standards and either get something wrong or give incorrect advice. If this occurs, they are liable to be pursued for professional negligence claims, just like every other profession.
If you feel like you have been badly let down by your solicitor or barrister, and have made a financial loss as a result, then you may be eligible to make a claim. Call Colemans-ctts today on 0808 155 9070, for a confidential chat about your situation.
Our Process
Our first step will of course be to ascertain whether you have a case and if you do then what chances it has of leading to a successful claim. We will need to have proof that you suffered a financial loss because of the actions of the solicitor(s) and that the service they provided to you was below the standards you would expect from a lawyer or barrister who is “reasonably competent”.
You will be told honestly about the progress and chances of the case and we will need to look over all of the paperwork to get a full understanding of what has gone on as it is rarely simple in these cases. In many situations we can deal with your case on a no win no fee basis, taking the risk of pursuing away from you.
