The Law Society offers good advice for people looking to choose a Solicitor.

Not least, your Solicitor should be conveniently located so that you can easily visit them for face to face consultations and, accordingly, should provide access according to your needs; All Solicitors will make reasonable adjustments for disabled access, in addition you may prefer to see a Solicitor of your own gender or you may have a particular language-requirement. You are advised to establish this during your appointment-making telephone call. If relevant to you, whether they do Legal Aid work will also need to be established.

Once the appointment has been made you are advised to make a list of the main points you want to cover and the questions you want to ask (tick these off as the meeting progresses) and gather together all the paperwork that is relevant.

During the meeting don't be afraid to ask if anything is said that you do not understand and ask your Solicitor to send you a letter after the meeting to summarise the advice you've been given.

Many licensing councils set a high standard for its licensed hackney carriage drivers with many requiring a pass rate of 90% or above in their local knowledge tests; private hire drivers may also have to demonstrate an in-depth local knowledge.

Add to this the fact that criminal convictions, medical tests, insurance and DSA Taxi Assessments are all taken into account on a regular basis then you can be sure that each drivers' badge has been hard-earned.

These badges, showing a photo of the driver, an ID number and expiry date are to be displayed in the vehicle and/or worn by the driver; please ensure that these are on display before traveling with that driver.

Once booked or hailed you'll find that your taxi journey is often quicker than the same journey taken by public transport or private car and is without any of the parking costs/hassle or onward journey tribulations that often crop up.
