It is nice that the consultation is free, but are you sure that you're gonna be consulted by a professional. The services of lawyers are expensive, and I don't think a good lawyer with a lack of time will give thirty minutes of free consultation to new people. Better find a good solicitor on waymanandlong.co.uk. You will need to pay money for the consultation, but at least you will be sure that the solicitor who consulted you is a professional and person who works in the juridical domain for a very long time.
Hi! I completely agree with you, I had a case when I was advised by a novice who introduced himself as a professional, and the issue that was being solved was very serious, it didn't do anything good :)
This service is so helpful! I’m a student, and I’m going to be a lawyer. It’s hard sometimes to finish some projects and find and memorize all the terms. But luckily, there exist such services and many other sites with helpful information (like https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/6-fda-audit-defense-strategies-2189158/ helped me to finish my project about audits defense). I’m so happy to live in the internet era, and I can’t understand how people used to live before, using only books. So hard to imagine!
Oh my God, I don't want to know anything about lawyers' ethics anymore because I've been dealing with them for a very long time, and I'm already tired of it.
Oh my God, I don't want to know anything about lawyers' ethics anymore because I've been dealing with them for a very long time, and I'm already tired of it. In one unfair case, I am grateful that I was saved by lawyers from this company -- https://ucmjdefense.com/navy-military-defense-lawyers-court-martial-attorneys.html. Still, I am glad that we won, but it is always difficult to work with lawyers because I have the impression that they are robots without feelings. All they have in their head is work. This is correct from the point of view of professionalism. I'm not saying anything. Well, I just want to minimize contact with such people and contact them only in special cases.
