Asking for Advice from Solicitors Wirral
Article by Tracey Miller
You will have heard the phrase that there is no such thing as a free lunch and that someone always has to pay. Well this is true but even truer than this is that a solicitor will never give you even a small piece of free advice. This is what a cousin of mine discovered when she had to get some legal advice regarding a matter of adoption. She was seeking advice from solicitors, Wirral way last year when her common law husband wished to adopt her son from a previous marriage.
The first hurdle was to actually get an appointment to see someone within a week as they all seemed to have very full diaries. When she managed to get a time fixed, she was told of the exorbitant fee she would be charged to just get a very simple piece of advice. She tried to explain that her query would only take five minutes and that she could not afford to pay a lot of money, but there was no way around it.
As a way of getting her money’s worth, she spent a lot of time just skirting around the issues before asking the questions she needed answered. She told me that when it comes to solicitors and other people in the legal profession, it was good if you could find one decent person and then stick with them.
I have always used the same family law solicitors Wirral for many years and have never had a problem with them. They are courteous and efficient and I have always found them to be helpful and get fast results. Luckily I have not had to deal with solicitors for anything serious and I hope that I do not need to. At the moment I have only had to get some attestations witnessed and some contracts drawn up, plus some other routine things.
The end result for my cousin was that her partner did end up adopting her son on a legal basis and they are very happy about it. When it comes to family law, solicitors, Wirral and every other place, need to be more sensitive and considerate about other people’s feelings and problems. This is because in family law, you are dealing with emotional issues such as divorce, custody, visitation rights and bereavement.
Whenever you need to get advice from solicitors, Wirral or anywhere, it is good if you can get a personal recommendation from someone who has used them for something similar to what you need. There are even solicitors who will try to come and see you in your own home if you cannot get out for any reason. Maybe you are housebound by illness, have young children and cannot get a baby sitter or even if you are working so much that you cannot get to the solicitor’s office during normal working hours. This type of mobile service is not very common as most solicitors are too busy to put themselves out for business.
