Visit a solo and expect the unexpected - a small working area, a couple of assistants, limited IT, and an aspiring legal professional, beaming with confidence but worried about work. The general impression is that solo practitioners are out to grab any and all kinds of work, to make ends meet - and that lawyers in general are greedy, with an eye on the fees that they can charge off their clients.
Nothing can be farther from the truth, for the astute client.
The more cemented the relationship becomes, the more difficult it gets to cross this hurdle. Do appreciate that there could be a variety of reasons which led a legal professional to branch out as a solo - the desire of professional freedom, necessity, control over personal life etc. A well nurtured relationship with your solo will ensure that you receive first-rate legal service at a bargain cost.
