How to use the service:
All Law Express advisers and call handlers are based in the UK (and cover all UK jurisdictions). When you call Law Express, a call handler will ask you some questions about the nature of your enquiry so that they can match you to the best adviser. An experienced legal adviser who specialises in the area of law that you need will call you back, usually within 2 hours. If you wish to speak to an adviser straight away the call handler will do their best to help you.
Will I be talking to a solicitor?
Advisers have at least five years post qualification experience as a practising solicitor or who hold a high-level legal degree and are experienced in providing legal advice. All the advisers at Law Express are recruited for their ability to explain the law in a way which is easy to understand.
