Personal Legal Expenses
You may think that you are unlikely to ever end up in a legal dispute and even if you did Legal
Aid would cover the costs. However, a dispute with a neighbour, faulty goods or a holiday from
hell could leave you with no means of enforcing your legal rights or gaining compensation.
Consulting a solicitor can cost anything from £75 to £150 an hour; even more if the case is
specialised. Falling back on Legal Aid is not an option any more as it is only available to a small
minority. The prospect of becoming involved in complicated legal disputes and appointing a
solicitor can be daunting and often deters people from bringing a legal case.
