Does everyone feel the same way? Why pay them when I have to read and highlight issues

Not me. Got divorced and came to a sensible agreement with my ex and never a lawyer bothered the issue.

But we were both intelligent reasonable people. Lawyers are for those who can't handle their own shit.

I got married to somebody who wasn't an idiot and separated the same way. Amicably.

Your OP doesn't really make plain what the problem is, other than clever people making money off of less clever people?

Sorry I don't agree.

They advise not decide.

They often deal with less than ideal or lose lose situations.

Not sure you can write them all off.

If yours isn't helping then highlight the issue and or change.

Same here, why do I have an odd feeling they feed off discord emotions.

Have the same feeling about dentists and doctors/drugs companies,

Is the "can't handle their own shit" statement just relating to divorce law, or across the board?! I'd argue my 18yo did require professional representation when giving evidence against someone who attacked him and broke the bones in his face. The Police certainly were not a shred of help and would have dropped the case if he hadn't pushed and pushed, aided by legal advice from one of his friend's mothers. The assailant was eventually convicted....

Use lawyers a fair bit in my business.. Principally regulatory and normally in a consultative manner. But when I've needed them to step up they've been brilliant. Unfortunately they seem to be an exception to the rule and the rest, divorce, employment and ambulance chasers aaggghh!

But rest assured they wind each other up too. I witnessed said regulatory lawyer utterly loose his shit with his conveyancing solicitor... Made me feel a heap better lol

When we've moved we have always had to chase on the paperwork, it's really annoying. It was awkward as my brother in law was our conveyancer. Can't really complain though he done it for a couple of hundred quid and a curry!

The best lawyer is the person in question who knows and understands what has occurred then it's following the procedure getting enough knowledge and defending their own position and adds a edge to it as you say what you intend on not what the other thinks of saying or using...

OP, you seem to be tarring all lawyers with the same brush. There are lots of different lawyers, and a range of ability (as with many professionals). Seems a bit unfair. Many people do not fully appreciate the reason why we have laws and particularly why they are so complicated. This leads to a sense of contempt for lawyers and/or a sense of begrudging when paying their fees for something that is actually quite complicated.

I'm with you Is... There is a huge range of skills and abilities. As you move into more specialist arenas so the complexity and (hopefully) competence increases. These guys and gals also tend to be aware that their business is repeat and they are only as good as their last job.

Not in every court no. That would depend on the grade of the solicitor and the type of court. I suggest you do your own research.

From Slater + Gordon (solicitors!)

What is a solicitor?

A solicitor is a qualified legal professional who provides expert legal advice and support to clients. A solicitor's clients can be individual people, groups, private companies or public sector organisations.

What does a solicitor do?

After taking instructions from clients, solicitors will advise on necessary courses of legal action depending on their areas of legal expertise. Most solicitors in the UK are primarily litigators, although many solicitors specialise in specific areas of law and some do their own advocacy cases.

solicitors work directly with clients and although specific work activities will naturally depend on the solicitor’s area of expertise, they typically involve conversing with clients to establish their firm’s suitability to provide the necessary legal advice and services, taking the client’s instructions and then advising them on the law and legal issues relating to their particular case.

Solicitors deal with all the paperwork and communication involved with their clients' cases, such as writing documents, letters and contracts tailored to their client’s needs; ensuring the accuracy of legal advice and procedure, and preparing papers for court.

Solicitors will also negotiate with clients and opposing parties to secure agreed objectives, gather evidence, supervise the implementation of agreements, calculate claims for damages, compensation, loss of earnings, maintenance etc., and co-ordinate the work of all parties involved in the case. Their work ranges across the whole spectrum of legal work from high value commercial work to personal injury cases, family law issues such as children law and divorce, criminal law and wills probate and the general administration of estates.

Solicitors represent clients in disputes and represent them in court if necessary. In complex disputes however, solicitors will often instruct barristers or specialist advocates to appear in court on behalf of their clients.

If a case goes to court, it is unlikely that a solicitor will represent their client although certain solicitors can appear in court as advocates. Instead, a solicitor will generally refer the work to a barrister or specialist advocate for expert advice or to instruct them to appear in court to represent the client.

What is a barrister?

A barrister generally provides specialist legal advice and represents individual people and organisations in courts and tribunals and through written legal advice.

What does a barrister do?

In general, barristers in England & Wales are hired by solicitors to represent a case in court and only become involved once advocacy before a court is needed. The role of a barrister is to "translate and structure their client's view of events into legal arguments and to make persuasive representations which obtain the best possible result for their client."

Barristers usually specialise in particular areas of law such as criminal law, chancery law (estates and trusts), commercial law, entertainment law, sports law and common law; which includes family law and divorce, housing and personal injury law.

Although a barrister’s work will vary considerably depending on their level of expertise and the area of law in which they practice, they will typically advise clients on the law and the strength of their case and provide them with a written ‘opinion’. Barristers will advocate on behalf of their clients and the client’s solicitor in court, presenting their case, examining and cross-examining witnesses and giving reasons why the court should support the case. They will then negotiate settlements with the other side.

Out of the estimated 15,500 barristers practising in England & Wales, around 80% are self-employed. Other barristers are employed, for example, in solicitors' firms advising clients directly, or in agencies such as the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), or in specialist legal departments in industry, commerce, charities or central or local government; advising only the organisations they work for.

On the whole, self-employed barristers work in offices known as Chambers which they may share with other barristers. After completing their training, many gain permanent positions known as tenancy in a ‘set’ of Chambers.

As barristers within a chambers are all independent from one another they can often act on different sides in the same legal dispute. In contrast, solicitors working at the same law firm would be prevented from doing the same as there would be a conflict of interest.

Barristers are kept independent and prevented from picking and choosing the cases they want to work on by what is known as the Cab Rank Rule. The Cab Rank Rule prohibits a barrister from refusing a case if, for example, they found the nature of the case objectionable or if they think the client has unacceptable conduct, opinions or beliefs or simply due to the source of the funding.

Generally self-employed barristers cannot be instructed directly by clients as they first need to be briefed by a solicitor. However, the exception to this is if the barrister is a member of the Public Access Scheme which enables a member of the public to go directly to a barrister for legal advice or representation.

"So what's the difference between a lawyer, a solicitor and a barrister?

Solicitors and Barristers are both lawyers but barristers have higher advocacy rights and do more specialised representations in courts. totally wrong.

How so?

One simple one. One stands up in court. The other days nothing

Incorrect.

So the barrister isn’t the one standing up in court and presenting his case and questioning? That what you’re saying? I’d do some research "

Yes, good idea. Do some research and report back tomorrow morning by 9am sharp. Cheers

A barrister isn’t a lawyer though

True, lawyers are money grabbing people with questionable parentage.

Barristers help them feel less guilty, m’lord.

Oh can’t wait for this. Can you elaborate "

‘Twas tongue in cheek, there are massive differences in in all levels and types of areas and people who represent the law.

To return to the OP, yes, dealing with conveyancers (solicitor or otherwise qualified person) can be excruciating yes. Anything that involves two sets of legal bods, plus the need for searches into other areas like the Land Registry, coal mining authority, water boards, local council building control perhaps. Then you're always going to hit delays. Some property is harder to fathom the legal status of than others.

Does it creat complexity, yes it does, does that increase prices, to me it does.

Sometimes it makes a mockery out of common sense.
