Second legal opinion

Asking for a second opinion is not distrust of your lawyer: it is what people do in medicine, for the same reasons. We review where your matter actually stands and explain it in terms you can follow, without telling you what you want to hear.

What we do

  • We read the whole file and tell you what stage it is really at.
  • We explain which options remain open and which deadlines are still live.
  • We point out, where they exist, the points worth raising with your current lawyer.
  • We give you the review in writing.
  • We take over the matter only if you decide so afterwards.

What people usually bring us

  • Proceedings with months of silence and no explanation.
  • Advice received that you neither quite understand nor quite believe.
  • A settlement offer to accept or reject this week.
  • A doubt about whether the matter is being handled as it should be.

The review is independent and does not mean changing lawyer. If the work being done is sound, we will say so: that is the most common outcome of a second opinion, and the most useful one.
