About Use a Paralegal
“Use a Paralegal” began with the idea that legal advice should be easily accessible and affordable for everyone. Our aim is simple – to provide good legal advice, quickly, easily and reliably at a low-cost.
Paralegals are law practitioners that are not solicitors or barristers but can perform many of the tasks where you would naturally think of using a solicitor but they are considerably more affordable.
Most solicitors hourly rates start at £200 to £250 per hour. They will typically require an initial deposit of funds in advance to review your matter and before doing so will need to set you up as a client which normally requires you to provide identification and to complete account opening forms so you can be on-boarded as a client.
“Use a Paralegal” has no lengthy on-boarding process and booking an appointment is easy. Use a Paralegal can advise you so you may represent yourself as Litigant in Person (LIP) or advise you to a point until you need a solicitor or barrister. Use a Paralegal can also help you use a public access barrister should you require representation at court. This means that you may not require a solicitor. All of this will help save costs..
