I posted a
blog, a few weeks ago, about the growth in comparison web sites, and my own
dedication to Trip Adviser.
I talked
about the Law Society’s proposed site to menable clients to rate their lawyers.
We are now
hearing about the ultimate in legal ratings – The Super Lawyers!!
According
to Legal futures this is an idea imported from the USA. It seems to be focussed on
lawyers rather than law firms. And the emphasis is very much on high end
commercial law. The pilot of the UK
scheme is going to be in London.
Now we all
like to think of ourselves as the next generation of super heroes. But to
qualify as a Super Lawyer we will have to be based in London, nominated by another lawyer and do a
particular type of work.
So if you
are looking for a good lawyer to do you house purchase or accident claim then
this may not be for you. If you are looking for someone to do your million
pound company take-over then it may be worth a try.
So where
should you look for a good lawyer? I have mentioned Solicitors-Info
last time and that is useful reference point. Otherwise it is back to the good
old recommendation from friends and family who have used the firm before. It
brings us back to the need for a full blown, ratings site; a sort of Brief
Adviser! And hopefully this will see the light of day, sooner rather than
later.
These developments are good news for consumers.
There was a time when lawyers expected work to come thought
the door because that was the way it had been. Some acted for generations of
the same family. The modern lawyers will see clients return because they done a
quality job. If they don’t clients will just Google another! Comparison sites
will ensure an even greater focus on quality to ensure and maintain a good
rating.
Will sign off there as it is tiring having to do a day job
when you are up all night being a super hero!
Get a picture of the accident. Ask for the insurance company/card from the other party and get your lawyer fast. Macon Lawyers
