Sadly in Scotland the Law Society website covering legal professionals is not as good as their English Welsh counterpart. Sometimes even all the images look the same. Either way, just be aware of which site you are on when searching the web and never discuss payments vi...
www.lslegaluk.com: Unlike it's Scottish and Irish counterparts, they provide a wealth of consumer information such as alternate contact details, number of qualified staff, languages spoken, case specialties, and even any other brand names used. So what are the independent forums saying?
