'WHICH ?' legal

aife

Firstly that's 'Which?' as in the magazine/organisation , not a request for recommendations for law firms
Secondly , I'm not sure if this is the right board to post on...

Anyway - Has anyone used the Which Legal subscription service ? I'm considering it because I have some fairly complicated issues relating to my housing and employment , as well as debt. I can't afford to go to a lawyer and I don't think I can get all the answers I need through online research/forums etc
If anyone has used this service can you tell me what area your problem was - don't need details , just whether it was housing , work etc - and were you satisfied with the advice you got ?

If you have some 'fairly complicated issues', can you afford not to go to a lawyer?

Such services are limited and will never be a substitute for proper legal representation. Certainly, they'll help you decide if legal action is a required or suitable solution.

The Which? line might be able to give you a nudge in the right direction, but I doubt they will be able to actually move things forward.

The CAG forum is a good place to get guidance on more complicated issues, though obviously no substitute for a solicitor.

I doubt you'll be able to take out a Which subscription and get serious costly advice for a pre-existing problem.

If you have "fairly complicated" housing and employment issues you probably need to see a solicitor - some offer a 30 min free consultation.


As steampowered says the general legal forum on CAG might be able to offer advice, but a lot of posters on there who "go it alone" get bogged down in the legal process because they don't understand it.


Can't comment on "Which?" as never used that service of theirs. Would imagine it's restricted to straightforward consumer issues, not "fairly complicated" ones.
