So you’re looking for a Solicitor in Wigan.

How do you choose? Where do you look? How do YOU make contact? How do you know who is best? What should you look for?

Well it is true to say that there are lots of solicitors in Wigan. There are lots of solicitors firms in Wigan and there are lots of firms of solicitors who have offices in Wigan but who are based elsewhere.

Perhaps the first and most important thing to look for is someone who specialises in the area you are looking for.

It is true that a great many solicitors in Wigan will tell you that they have a particular area of expertise. So how do you choose? How do you know who is telling the truth? How do you know who will understand you and your problems and be able to find the best outcome for you? Perhaps a good start is to look for people with a reputation, perhaps look at local forums, look at people who are based locally, look at people who have a website, look at people who have experience in the kind of case that you have. You might think that you should be able to take for granted the fact that a solicitor will know and understand a particular area of law that you are concerned with.

Whilst this is true, all solicitors are regulated by the Law Society, it is true to say that knowledge in itself is not enough. The ability to apply the Law in certain circumstances, the ability to understand people’s unique problems and the ability to listen, understand and progress the cases forward is something which is perhaps a little bit more specialised, Facebook, Twitter and the internet are all good places to start but the truth is the best solicitor for you in Wigan is the one who will listen.

The best solicitor for you is the one who will understand your problems, understand that they are unique to you and one who will steer away from Jargon and Legal gobbledygook and explain in words of one syllable exactly what the problem is and exactly what the best route forward is.
