Connections Questions


When discriminating whom to hire as your No Win No Fee solicitors London, a friend once told me that I should pick those who were close with the judge, either because they are blood relations or friends. Whether we like to believe it or not, he said, judges are human beings too. We should not believe the crap others tell us that they are so rational that they will be deaf to the yearnings of their hearts. Go for broke, he added, You can never go wrong.

Well I think my experience in dealing with the courts and No Win No Fee solicitors London has falsified his claim. My case, an accident at work claim, prospered last year even though the defendant’s solicitor was the judge’s own brother. It’s strange, but it’s real. The main weakness of the argument of my friend, and which life all too eagerly brought up, was this—just because people are friends does not mean that they cannot be professional. Judges and lawyers are not too keen on applying undue influence to the outcome of the case for the simple reason that they know they can be sanctioned, even disbarred, if caught. Whoever thinks that victory in one case at the price of losing a lifetime’s worth of prestige and effort is a bargain is clearly out of his mind. Lawyers and judges are smart people, despite their ambition. They know they cannot act willy-nilly, especially when people are all too ready to suspect collusion between them.

Another thing my friend forgot to take into consideration is that more than the fear of disbarment and loss of honor, judges and lawyers may not be in good terms with people presume them to be close with. Relatives may quarrel with each other, friends may hold grudges, and the proof of this is provided by life itself. Unhappy families and broken friendships are all too common in the world today, but even more so in an extremely competitive environment such as the world of jurisprudence. That lawyer is close to that judge, some say. Therefore we must hire him. But I ask: how do we know that they are really close? And even if they were, how do we know that nevertheless they are presently in good terms?

    I agree with you, connections are not really that important in making claims. I suggest you choose a solicitor who has handled and won many cases similar to yours. And if they offer no win no fee agreement on it, I'm pretty you stand a strong chance of winning compensation.

  2. If a solicitor has accepted your claim under the no win no fee agreement then it possibly be a strong case. And the possibility of you losing your claim would be slim unless your representative commit mistakes. Which is unlikely to happen because it could mean not getting paid for the efforts they put on the claim.

    You just need to make a research on whom to hire and represent your claims. Look for someone who have won a lot of cases similar to yours. And read feed backs of other clients he/she have handled in the past.

  4. I also don't think that a lawyer or a judge would jeopardize their career by favouring a friend or a family just because they want to. They know that consequences would be great and could ruin their lives in an instant if they get caught.
