Finding the Right Solicitors in Rugby

Rugby, a well-known market town (since 1255) in Warwickshire, is only 11 miles from Coventry, where Ward and Rider have their main offices. The location is also well known as the legendary birthplace of Rugby Football, which was invented, so it is said in 1823 by the schoolboy William Webb Ellis.

Being the second largest settlement in the county, it is no surprise that there are a large number of legal firms offering their services 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 pick that much harder.

This is a more important issue than you may think, as regardless of which type of legal challenge you are having to deal with, for example, a dispute within your family or a claim for personal injury, finding the best legal counsel is vital.

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

Picking The Best Solicitor and The Factors to Consider

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

Expertise and Specialisation

Commissioning a lawyer who does not have the relevant experience in the type of case you are dealing with is not a good idea, as they are unlikely to be able to win your case. For example, if you wish to claim for personal injury, it is vital to work with a personal injury claims solicitor rather than a general practitioner. Expertise and specialised knowledge can make a huge 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 perfect match to your needs.

Experience and a Proven Track Record

It's also always best to consider a solicitor's experience in handling cases similar to your own. Search for one who has an established track record of success in your specific area of law, as this is a strong indication 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

It is always best to have a first exploratory meeting with a solicitor before agreeing to use their services. Here besides being able to gauge their abilities, you will also be able to see how well you can ‘get on with them’, this being vital as there no doubt will be a lot of communication during the time your case is being made.

Ask yourself whether they use 'normal' language or confuse you with legal jargon? Our legal professionals 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 fully 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 the law can be a costly adventure, so it is very important to fully understand how much the case could cost, and that all are known before you commission any works. At Ward and Rider we always ensure all potential costs are discussed at the very start, thus avoiding any surprises later. We also offer No Win No Fee arrangements where this is possible.

Location and Convenience

The location of the solicitor's office also needs some consideration, especially when your case requires frequent in-person meetings. Here again, Ward and Rider hit the mark. Our local office in Rugby provides the perfect place to meet and discuss matters.

Family Law and Divorce

Our experienced, specialised family law legal team can assist you with issues like divorce, child custody, adoption, and prenuptial agreements, offering the necessary compassionate support during these challenging and potentially painful times.

Personal Injury  and Medical Negligence Claims

If you have suffered injury at the hands of another, it is sometimes possible to claim compensation, the amounts of any award being quite considerable in many cases, especially if they are life changing.

Our personal injury lawyers can help you by discussing the merits of your case and gain the compensation you deserve. In many cases it is possible to fund these cases using a No Win No Fee arrangement.

Wills, Trusts, and Probate

Our wills, estate planning and probate lawyers can assist in managing your assets and ensuring your wishes are carried out after you have gone.

Then there is the importance of Local Knowledge

While most legal principles are universal, having a legal representative with local knowledge can be a great help. Our Rugby-based legal professionals have an in-depth knowledge of the local courts, judges, officials, and procedures, all of which can be advantageous for navigating the legal system in the most efficient manner, thus potentially saving time and money.

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