Are you a disappointed claimant? Did you lose at trial? Have you been ordered to pay the other party's costs? If so, you may have a claim against a solicitor.
It will be of no surprise to anyone that solicitors have certain obligations to their clients. One of those obligations is to provide certain information with regard to costs to include advice about all the various options that are available to fund the pursuit of your claim and, in particular, the possibility of obtaining insurance that would pay your opponent's costs in the event that you were unsuccessful in your claim and thus ordered to pay your opponent's cost.
If you were not advised about such matters or not advised sufficiently fully, you may have a claim against your solicitor for the costs that you will now have to pay your opponent.
It should be relatively simple for a firm with expertise in claimant professional cases to determine whether you do have a claim and the amount of that claim. If, therefore, you think that you might, please contact Robert Johnson (direct dial: 020 7822 4106, e-mail robert.johnson@healys.com) for further free advice and preliminary assessment of your position.
If there is a claim, it is likely to be relatively straightforward both in terms of liability and quantum and hence it should be possible to persuade your previous solicitor/their insurers to settle at an early stage. That will reduce the delay and stress of you being involved in a further dispute.
In addition, we will (if you have a good claim which we should be able to assess at no charge) we will act on your behalf on a no-win no-fee basis. For further information on no-win no-fee agreements and this firm's expertise in such matters, please call Robert Johnson on 020 7822 4106.
