I received legal advise on a tenancy issue which as good advise, however, I had to wait three-days before I was able to speak to someone. This was ongoing every time I wanted legal advise.
I'm not sure what other legal advise they offer as When I wanted legal advise on purchasing a property, they told me they not handle these kind of cases.
I signed up for almost £30 and then a monthly subscription after that of approximately £9.00. This is on top of the separate subscription to their consumer magazine and review site.
I asked a legal question. I asked several times if this was correct. The young man on the end of the phone assured me it was correct. WRONG!!. Upon ringing up to complain and cancelling my subscription I was informed it was only for consumer issues ie shops, faulty goods etc. and that the person I spoke to was just a call handler!
After a complaint I received calls from someone else who informed me they had a law degree or something but wasn't actually legally trained and the information was very "well yes, but it could be this or it could be that".
Be aware and don't be taken in by the sales pitch. You aren't talking to real solicitors and their advice isn't very accurate. Save your money.
Having been a magazine subscriber for many years I found myself needing legal advice. I subscribed to Which?Legal Services under the impression that I was only eligible for this service because I was a magazine subscriber. I found the legal advice limited and insufficient for the task in hand and within a couple of months was so disappointed with the whole "Which" service that I decided to unsubscribe from both magazine and the legal service. I did this by cancelling subscription payments at the bank and by ringing the Which customer service. However I have recently discovered that Which? Legal Services continued to take their £9 monthly subscription from my other bank account for 18 months without my knowledge or approval. I guess I used that account for the initial payment and inadvertently missed the monthly outgoing.
I have now been informed by Which that the magazine and the Legal Service are separate entities and cancellation of one does not mean cancellation of the other.
Having discussed this with Which? Legal Services they will not give me the £153 refund I feel would be the honest and decent thing to do. Granted it is allegedly in the small print of the 'agreement' that you have to ring Which? Legal Services up to cancel but honestly how many people read every line of the terms and conditions. SO BEWARE.

How much do legal consultations cost?
Initial consultations are typically offered at a reduced rate or sometimes free for new clients, depending on the complexity of your matter. Our standard hourly rates vary based on the attorney's experience level and the type of legal work required. We provide transparent fee estimates upfront and offer flexible billing arrangements including flat fees for certain services.

Do you handle cases on a contingency fee basis?
Yes, we handle certain types of cases on a contingency fee basis, particularly personal injury claims and some business disputes. This means you don't pay attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you.

How long does it typically take to resolve legal matters?
The timeline varies significantly depending on the complexity of your case and whether it involves litigation, negotiations, or transactional work. Simple contract reviews may take a few days, while complex litigation can take months or years. We'll provide realistic timeframe expectations during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Please bring any relevant documents related to your legal matter, including contracts, correspondence, court papers, or other materials that help explain your situation. A list of questions you'd like to discuss and any timeline constraints you're facing would also be helpful. Don't worry if you don't have everything – we can work with whatever information you have available.
Do you provide services remotely or only in-person?
We offer both in-person and remote legal services to accommodate our clients' needs and preferences. Many consultations, document reviews, and routine legal work can be handled effectively through video conferences, phone calls, and secure document sharing. Court appearances and certain complex matters may require in-person attendance.
Anyone can write a CrowdTrust review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they'll be displayed as long as an account is active.
Excellent service, did an amazing job with my long-standing tenancy agreement problem. They pointed me in the right direction and even my landlord is now as happy with the outcome as I am.
I have only been member for a short time and my first Contact made me aware that this service is for consumer issues not and not for general legal advice.
Having said that some advice was forthcoming which did prove useful.
