They usually charge you for their services. Some charge upto £25 for answering your question over the phone but most solicitors are legally binded to give you 30 minutes free legal advice before they charge you. My nans friend is a solicitor and he says that they charge for things such as answering the telephone and also writing letters and responding to letters and be glad your not hiring a barrister as they charge a minimum of £95 an hour.
