Our Service Is Simple
We help you to find the right lawyer, solicitor or mediator for you by matching the details of your case and your particular needs to lawyers who are able to best meet your needs and the requirements of your case. Why is this so important? Because engaging a lawyer that is not appropriate to your case and your particular needs can be a painful experience that may result in an outcome that does not fit with the merits of your case. Moreover, by choosing the right lawyer, solicitor or mediator, you maximise your potential for the outcome that protects your rights.
Our Service Is Free
We do not charge you for the use of this service. This is because access to justice is already difficult and out-of-reach for many. Furthermore, we believe that our service allows you to have the best chance of finding the right lawyer, solicitor or mediator for you.
