Be Your Best Lawyer gives you three ways to get the support you need, from free articles through to direct expert consultancy. Start where it makes sense for you.
The blog has 38 free articles covering family law, employment tribunal, and court procedure in England and Wales. They are written by a solicitor, specific to English law, and designed to give you a clear understanding of your situation before you spend anything.
If you have just been dismissed and are wondering whether you have a claim, start with the unfair dismissal article. If you have just been served with a C100, start with the FHDRA and CAFCASS articles. If you are about to sign a settlement agreement, read the settlement agreement article first.
The guides are where the real preparation happens. Each guide is written to give you everything a solicitor would give a paying client: the legal framework, the procedure, what to say, what to avoid, and what to do at each stage of your case.
They are specific to England and Wales, specific to your situation, and written in plain English without jargon. They are instant downloads -- no waiting, no subscription, yours to keep and refer to throughout your case.
For family law, start with the guide most relevant to where you are: child arrangements, financial remedy, protective orders, or representing yourself. For employment tribunal, the Complete ET Claim Guide covers the entire process from time limits through to the hearing.
If you want more than a guide -- a second opinion on your position statement, a frank assessment of your case, or expert support through proceedings -- the consultancy service gives you direct access to Eugene Pienaar, non-practising solicitor.
This is not a paralegal service or a McKenzie Friend referral. Eugene is a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales who has been in the courtroom himself as a litigant in person, defending a £40 million High Court claim against leading City counsel. He knows what preparation looks like when it matters.
Document reviews from £97. Case consultations at £197. Litigation support fees are agreed after an initial conversation -- every case is different and complexity varies.
A practising solicitor brings expertise, insurance, and regulatory protection. Be Your Best Lawyer brings the same expertise at a fraction of the cost, with the directness that regulated advisers cannot always offer.
