For: Anyone whose previous solicitor failed them
Has your solicitor let you down?
If you instructed another firm and they dropped your case, charged you fees you didn't expect, or just stopped replying, you don't have to start from scratch. Your evidence still exists. The clock on Awaab's Law isn't reset by a bad solicitor. We can pick up where they left off.
Complaints to the Solicitors Regulation Authority about solicitors rose sharply in 2024, and landlord and tenant work is one of the areas it has flagged for concern. You have the right to switch at any time.
