Two Harcourt Buildings Chambers - 2HB Barristers in London: So whilst The Direct Access scheme is a major, massive, and immensely helpful shake up to the legal system allowing members of the public to deal direct with their representation rather than paying a solicitor to be a go-between - there is still a long way to go. Hopefully...


ABS Lawyers Ltd Solicitors in Corby & Maghull, Liverpool: For example legal matters such as a wills or debt recovery or bankruptcy don't always result in a solicitor as being your best first point of contact.

David Stinson & Co Personal Injury Solicitors in Aylesford, Kent: The first means you will have nothing to pay should your case lose.
