A barrister cannot be called as solicitors and a solicitor cannot be termed as a barrister. Both of them work differently. Let us discuss each of them separately.

Barristers are lawyers who work in split professions alongwith meeting all the legal procedures. Barristers are often called barrister London, since the name first generated from London. They are never in direct contact with clients. Infact, they will never deal with a client directly. Barristers are involved in cases when it reaches the court where their real advocacy skill is required which even a solicitor might not be able to perform with accuracy.

Clients usually contact solicitors who in turn will contact barristers to file a case. Only barristers get the authority to represent high court. Their dress code is completely different as compared to solicitors. They wear a long horse hair type wig, with stiff color & bands gown.

Barristers will provide expert legal advices on the outcome of any trial before a judge which even most people or for that matter even solicitors are unable to fulfill. Solicitors mostly gather information about a ...
... case from a client, but the real legal procedure and the outcome of the case finally depends upon barristers.

The main job of a solicitor is to contact clients who require legal help, gather evidence and do paper work, a bit of research about the whole case and than bundle all this information which is to be provided to a barrister. The barrister in turn will study each of the points carefully and come to a conclusion how to fight the case and in whose favor.

But in some severe cases such as building dispute, clients get a chance to contact barrister directly since these are delicate and critical issues which requires the client to contact barrister directly which can be marred if a solicitor comes in the picture. When we say marred, we are not trying to offend solicitors, but just in critical cases, a direct contact is very important and any information which is not properly passed can even lead to the case going in favor to the wrong person.

There is another type of solicitors known as benefit fraud solicitors. Usually, when a person is held for benefit fraud, he or she will be sent a letter via postal mail to attend an interview with the local council office. If they do not attend the interview, there are chances that they can get arrested. Hence, when such letter is received by anyone, they must immediately contact benefit fraud solicitors who will help them sort the problem. These solicitors will review the letter and will guide their client how to face the interview. They will also provide them with tips about what are the likely questions that will be asked and how do you tackle to answer these questions.

When someone receives such letters, it is always good that you have someone to contact and support you. Otherwise life can be a disaster when you find nobody supports you when you are held for benefit fraud.

Fraud Solicitors are expert in commercial disputes and barrister London ahs years of expertise in various fields.
