Finding the Best Solicitors in Northampton

Northampton, through which the River Nene flows and just 50 miles from Birmingham, was designated as a new town in 1968 and has since grown in status and population. This growth has, in turn, led to a rise in the number of legal professionals operating in the area.

Whilst having a long list to select from can be a good thing, it also makes the choice of which one to choose that bit harder.

This is more important than you may think, as regardless of whether you're dealing with a dispute with your family, a claim for personal injury, a matter of medical negligence or perhaps needing assistance with a will or have issues with probate, finding the best legal counsel is crucial.

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

Key Factors to Consider When Picking a Solicitor

Selecting the right solicitor is a decision that needs some consideration as it can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Here, you need to consider a range of factors.

Expertise and Specialisation

There is little doubt that the solicitor you pick must specialise in the area of law relevant to your case. For instance, if you're dealing with a divorce, you must work with a family law solicitor rather than a general practitioner. Expertise and specialised knowledge can make a massive 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 also always necessary to consider a solicitor's experience in handling cases similar to yours. Look for one who has an established track record of success in your specific area of law, as it 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 that 'gut feeling' you will experience when you have that all-important first meeting with a solicitor, perhaps what matters the most is how well they communicate. Do they use 'normal' language or confuse you with legal jargon? Our solicitors are very different, as besides constantly communicating with their clients, they always break things down and explain 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 legal firms are very good at.

Fee Structure and Transparency

Pursuing matters via any legal channel can be costly, so it is very important that all the costs are known. With this in mind make sure to 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 possibly not the most critical factor, the location of the legal firm's office can be important, especially when your case requires frequent in-person meetings. Here again, Ward and Rider hit the mark, our local office in Northhampton providing the ideal place to meet and discuss your case.

Family Law and Divorce

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

Personal Injury Claims

If you've been injured due to a someone else's negligence, our personal injury lawyers can help you gain the compensation you deserve, 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 Northampton-based legal professionals have an in-depth knowledge of the local courts, judges, officials, and procedures, which can be advantageous for 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.
