If you discuss it here, it could be free advise.

To discuss legal issues on a social media platform would not be , in my opinion , very wise

I am after a ballpark figure for a solicitor consultation

Think some solicitors offer free 30 mins consultation if that’s any use.

Citizen Advise may hold some decent solicitors who they view would help in a way that doesn't hurt ones pocket , and can offer up those solicitors who are prepared to allow an hour or 30 minutes of free advise

Re: Solicitors fees

Usually 30 mins free as as been said...then around £150/hour thereafter.

Depending on what the issue is.....debt......??? there are very many forums out there that CAN help fight these issues well BEFORE a solicitor is needed.
Also...does your House Insurance contain Legal advise cover??? Often available at a miminal extra cost. I used that route around 12 years ago in a case that I won.

It's a family mediation issue , need a solicitor trained in family mediation , but 150 quid will be nothing in the grand scheme of things

I spoke to one of their legal advisers over the phone and he suggested either I go into one of the branches for a consultation or do what he would do and see a qualified solicitor

See all sorts of stuff on there, you may be able to get an answer, or at the least get a better understanding of the issue and you may get away with half hour then for a free consultation.

Citizens Advice may be able to book a free initial consultation in their office with external solicitor but it's nothing you can't find yourself. As pointed out, there may be more you can do without needing a solicitor, although in this case that seems to have been checked.

A bit extreme asking them to overturn the result of that pool match with TLG.

After which the bill will rocket uncontrollably even if you ask for updates at certain price points.

Worse than mechanics in that they even manage to look down on you whilst fleecing you.

Too precious to regulated. Nauseous.
