Finding the Best Legal Representation in Leicester

Leicester, a vibrant city in the heart of England, is home to numerous legal professionals in a wide range of legal practices, all ready to assist with various legal matters. Whilst having a long list to select from is useful, it also makes the choice of which one to choose more difficult.

This is all the more important, as whether you're dealing with a family dispute, a claim for personal injury, a matter of medical negligence or need help with wills and probate, finding the right legal counsel is crucial.

The good news is that Ward and Rider have over 70 years of experience in these fields, experience that will make all the difference to winning your case.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Solicitor

Selecting the right solicitor is a critical decision that can significantly impact the outcome of your case, there being a number of factors that you need to consider.

Expertise and Specialisation

There is little doubt that you need a solicitor who specialises in the area of law relevant to your case. For instance, if you're dealing with a divorce, you need to work with a family law expert rather than a general practitioner. Expertise and specialised knowledge can make a substantial difference in the handling and outcome of your case. Here, Ward and Rider have a range of legal experts available, and of these, one will be a firm match to your needs.

Experience and Track Record

It's always necessary to consider a solicitor's experience in handling cases similar to yours. An established track record of success in your specific area of need can be a strong indicator of their capability to handle your case effectively. Ward and Rider have been winning cases for decades now and are sure to be able to offer the very best chance of success.

Communication and Accessibility

Apart from the 'gut feeling' you will experience when you have that all important exploratory meeting with a solicitor, perhaps what matters the most is how well they communicate with you. Do they speak your language or confuse you with legal jargon? Our legal specialists are very different, constantly communicating with their clients, breaking things down, and explaining things in a way that a non-legal person can understand.

Not only that, but when you work with Ward and Rider you can be assured of being kept up to date with the progress of the case, something that not all solicitors are very good at.

Fee Structure and Transparency

With legal costs being so high, it is vital to understand the fee structure of any solicitor before engaging their services. At Ward and Rider we always ensure all potential costs are discussed upfront to avoid surprises later, whilst also offering No Win No Fee arrangements where possible.

Location and Convenience

While not the most critical factor, the location of the solicitor's office can be important, especially if your case requires frequent in-person meetings. Here again Ward and Rider hit the mark, our local office in Leicester providing the ideal place to meet and discuss your case.

Family Law and Divorce

Our family law legal team assist with matters such as divorce, child custody, adoption, and prenuptial agreements, offering compassionate support during these challenging times.

Personal Injury Claims

If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, our personal injury solicitors can help you seek compensation and justice, it being possible to fund these cases using a No Win No Fee arrangement in most cases.

Wills, Trusts, and Probate

Our estate planning and probate lawyers can assist in managing your assets and ensuring your wishes are carried out after your passing.

Then there is the importance of Local Knowledge

While many legal principles are universal, having a solicitor with local knowledge can be invaluable. Our Leicester-based legal professionals are familiar with local courts, judges, and procedures, which can be advantageous in navigating the legal system efficiently.

Moreover, we have established relationships with other local professionals, such as estate agents, surveyors, and financial advisors. These connections can prove beneficial when dealing with complex cases that require a multidisciplinary approach.
