Having read this article I strongly agree with the thought that solicitors costs have become out of proportion with the damages awarded.

I personally act for a small firm who see cases where the claimant has been awarded damages and the costs have been up to three times the level of those damages.

This is a cost on all of us irrespective in which sector of business worked. It is about time that certain solicitors be stopped from racking up these costs – sometimes even bullying claimants to keep the case going in order for the solicitors to make vast profits.
