How to find a lawyer

There are many different areas of law. You only want to use someone who specialises in your particular area of need - be it divorce, copyrighting or whatever.

However if you can't locate a suitable lawyer this way we have found a great new service which connects you to three law firms. You submit some basic details once and they then have to "fight it out" to give you the best quote and service. This should save you a lot of time, effort and stress in finding one by yourself.

To use the service simply submit the basic info below. (Please note this is for an obligation-free initial chat. You do not have to proceed with anything).
