    In my experience CAB aren't very good at a lot of stuff. I hasten to add that I am a corporate lawyer and so have very few dealings with them
    Thanks for your response Tozer. Obviously different people will have different personal/ professional experiences but I feel I have to stand up for the CABs: many people will have a more positive view on the sterling work that their trained volunteers do. (The advice that the CABs provide was the first within the advice sector to undergo auditing for quality.)

    Many of the CABs have close working relationships with local community solicitors for the more complex cases, but they also have their own specialist caseworkers whose knowledge & experience of the current laws relating to housing, benefit, debt and employment matters may, in some cases, be more up to date than that of your average high street solicitor . :smiley:

    More good points. I have to say that I don't actually rate very many high street solicitors at all.

    Some are great. Others - not so great.

    OH had a phone call yesterday from a solicitor. "What should I do with this counterclaim you've sent me?"

    OH - "file and serve it"

    IS - "What does that mean?"

    OH <banged head on desk>
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
