I am Garth Dallas and I am the founder and Legal Director of Dallas Legal. We are a Legal Consultant firm, not solicitors. We are not regulated by the SRA, though we work closely with solicitors who are. Personally, I have over 25 years experience as a Legal Consultant in Business & Commercial Law, Employment Law, Dental Negligence Law, Bankruptcy Tourism and International Trade and Disputes.
Difference between Solicitors and Legal Consultants
1. Solicitors charge terrifying hourly rates. Legal Consultants will charge highly competitive fixed fees.
2. Solicitors are stuffy, formal and governed by silly rules designed to protect them. Legal Consultants will be straightforward, approachable, and might even make you smile, even though you feel very down.
3. Solicitors writes and speaks unintelligible legal jargon. Legal Consultants will write and speak plain understandable English.
4. Solicitors usually cannot be your advocate in a higher Court and has to hand the case over to an expensive barrister. Legal Consultants can see the case right through with the help of a public access barrister, selected and briefed by the Legal Consultant.
5. Solicitor's service can be cumbersome and slow. With a Legal Consultant you will get a fast efficient service with every phone call, email and letter being replied to the same working day, often at a fraction of the cost.
