Legal Services Shop is exactly what it says: a shopfront where you can purchase legal services with clear, guaranteed prices and checks on quality of service. Our site works in two ways: First, it provides free legal information on thousands of topics using our freelawyer service. This is a vast database of law which is written by solicitors/barristers and provided on this website for free. Bear in mind however that there is no free follow-up service, if your particular query is not covered, or you need further explanation, or you wish to speak to a solicitor - these services will incur a charge.
Second, we offer quality-monitored legal services at prices that you can ascertain in advance. Where we are able to offer a fixed price for the particular service, for example uncontested divorce £360 plus vat, then that is what we do. Where we cannot offer a fixed price, then we will set out an hourly charge. If you are unsure as to which parts of the website are free, and which are not, just remember that unless and until you are asked to enter your credit card details, you will not have to pay for using the site. If you do elect to use our paid-for services, it is most important that you understand what our obligations are to you. Provided that a law firm is on our panel, and have agreed to our terms of service, we use two factors. The first and most important factor is that they be specialists in the particular area of law. In other words, a company needing trademark services needs a law firm specialising in trademarks. This may sometimes mean that the law firm which is allocated to your work may not the nearest to you (or in some cases in the same town).
Criminal LawWith the exception of motoring offences, the vast majority of criminal law work is financed by Legal Aid. We do not deal with Legal Aid work. Use this page if you have already been refused Legal Aid or sure that you will not be entitled to claim it.
Debt CollectionOur debt collection service is on a no-recovery-no-fee basis. If we succeed in collecting your debt we will take 10% of the amount collected plus vat. If we do not succeed in collecting any of the debt then you will not have to pay collection charges.
Free Power Of AttorneySometimes illness or travel abroad means that we cannot keep an eye on our own financial affairs. A Power of Attorney document allows you (the donor) to give legal authority to a trusted person such as your spouse or other family member to do it for you.
Immigration LawImmigration law covers areas such as visas, work permits, political asylum applications, representations at immigration courts and tribunals, marriage refusals from abroad and appeal rights.
Landlord & TenantThis service is appropriate only if there is a written Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement between the landlord and tenant. It is designed to repossess your property quickly with minimum fuss. You cannot claim for rent arrears or litigate other disputes.
Employment LawThis service is offered at a fixed, non-refundable fee of £45 including vat. You can pay online on the next page or on the telephone by calling our helpdesk. The service will take up to three working days.
