If your claim for non-compliant bailiff action is a winnable one, then the cost of a solicitor will be met by the bailiff company or the creditor that instructed them.
First, check whether you have a winnable claim by setting up an initial telephone consultation. I can look over your case and evidence and make a referral to a solicitor usually straight away.
I also offer 'no-win no-fee' claims.
Once your claim has been accepted by a solicitor, then you are legally represented and a Notice of Acting is served on the bailiff company and the council (or creditor). You usually do not even have to go to court. We take care of it all for you.
If you prefer to find your own solicitor, then:
Citizens Advice keeps a list of solicitors that offer a free initial consultation and you need to find out whether he will apply for his costs from the other parties. If he can, then instruct him to start work and give a standing instruction to recover all his fees once the case is concluded.
Home insurance policies often have legal expenses cover and have tie-ins with law firms.
Pro-Bono solicitor. They work for free and are volunteers and looking to gain experience in law. You need to be referred by an advice professional or a solicitor.
The Law Society. They maintain a database of its members specialising in any area of law.
Note: You cannot reclaim solicitor's fees in claims under £5000 or any claim in the small claims court. This is because rules of court protect all sides from solicitor's fees of another party. We offer a low-cost paralegal service to prepare your legal arguments and statements.
