I would always suggest that you would be wise to want to access professional legal advice & assistance from an experienced, expert legal advisor that you can rely upon - such as an English Solicitor - while always ensuring that they are appropriately qualified and legally practising in England & Wales (part of the United Kingdom) via the Law Society's 'Find A Solicitor' service.
My firm and my personal details are at:-
http://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/office/545878/equitable-law-limited
http://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/person/9511/daniel-robert-johnson
If others who approach you don't trade under both of these registrations (individual & business entity) then they are likely to lack some element of competency and / or professionalism – most likely leading to them not being appropriately insured (whatever they may claim!).
Certainly - they are not able to call legitimately call themselves ‘Solicitors’, nor trade as such in private practice (without committing criminal offences under U.K. legislation!).
Describing yourself as a ‘lawyer’ or ‘legal advisor’ means absolutely nothing under English law, and there are a large number of un-authorised / un-regulated (largely / if not wholly un-qualified) individuals operating in the U.K. = Trust me, I often see the ‘horror stories’ after the event!
I do appreciate that legal advice & assistance from laymen / non-Solicitors (or people with less experience and/or expertise than me) may (at first instance) appear to be cheaper than my services - but I would encourage you to buy on 'cost-effectiveness' -v- not absolute price - since in life it is a general truth that 'you tend to get what you pay for' (and you may well not discover the deficiencies in others' advice & assistance etc. until it is too late!)
Forwarned is forearmed / You know where to find me!
