I Need To Track A Solicitor Down

[phleb]

How can i find out if a person is a genuine solicitor?

[retrocop]

You could try contacting The Law Society I suppose.

stick a pin in him and see if he bleeds?

Or try this site

http://www.sra.org.uk/bogus-solicitors/

[Buenchico]

Search here:
http://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/

To see if the SRA has made any disciplinary rulings against a solicitor (or for other problems such as a solicitor owing you money or the firm closing down), start here:

Just don't choose the same ones that WONGA uses !

crockford's is still in print and is still the lawyers directory innit ?

try any large library in your county

or the law society

It took Wonga and the student loan co some time to realise what I thought everyone knew - it is against the law to represent yourself as a solicitor if you are not

so your fella Phleb probably is

he could also be a legal exec ( a sort of sub-solicitor - think amoeba compared to jaguar ) who is talking his role up

PP...Crockfords is for CofE clerics, not solicitors.

are you able to give any more info, phleb?
