Firm profile and services

In the firm's own words

If you need legal advice, we believe that the understanding and client care you receive along the way are just as important as the advice itself. We work in some of the more emotive areas of law such as Medical Negligence, Child Care, Mental Health & Capacity and many more. Our success in these areas owes a great deal to the empathy and compassion that we demonstrate to our clients every day. This is borne out by our clients and also through our professional accreditations. We were established by Stephen Switalski in 1993.

Originally we were focused simply on Child Care Law and Criminal Law and operated from one office in Wakefield. We now have 12 office locations, over 250 staff and handle a wide range of specialist legal services. What hasn’t changed is our focus on first-class client care. We help even the most vulnerable clients to achieve positive outcomes and move forward. On this site you can find out more about our services, our locations, our lawyers and keep up with the latest news from Switalskis.

In the firm's own words

We’re frustrated and delighted by the same things as you. The perception that solicitors are distant and difficult only prevents the most vulnerable people from seeking help – and that injustice troubles me deeply. Since 2001, Best Solicitors has grown from 3 founding partners to a team of over 30 legal experts -all committed to delivering a fair, compassionate, accessible service.

Whether you’re buying your first home, experiencing marital/parental difficulties or wish to ensure your family’s security by drafting your first will, you will receive guidance, support and of course, industry-leading expertise. Thank you for considering us. Whether you are at the police station or before the Magistrates’ or Crown Court, we can guarantee that you will be seen by, advised by and represented by an experienced solicitor throughout.

In addition to this, we are able to offer experienced advice, representation and support for families in matters before the Coroner’s Court. Free independent legal advice is a right everyone has during a police station interview. When the police wish to speak to you, the decisions you make may influence your case and affect the future outcome. Regardless of how minor you think the matter is.

It is crucial that you make the right decision at the earliest stage. At Best Solicitors, we are available to represent you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We will attend at the police station as soon as the police are ready for interview. Our experienced family team are here to help you resolve family difficulties and disputes of all types.

SSB Law is a leading UK dispute resolution firm. Our proven negotiation and litigation skills achieve outstanding outcomes for our clients. Challenging the traditional outdated and expensive law firm approach, we focus our attention on providing modern, accessible, easy-to-understand, cost-effective legal services which achieve outstanding results. SSB Law represents people in honest and pragmatic ways, negotiating where possible and litigating where necessary.

We have amazing litigators, having taken cases through the Court of Appeal, Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights. Everyone at SSB Law is passionate about litigation. We achieve fabulous outcomes for our clients. We use our knowledge of law and procedure and wrap them up into the particular skills of our team to always achieve the best we can. A No Win No Fee claim could be arranged as Conditional Fee Agreement, Contingency Fee Agreement or Damages Based Agreement.

The vast majority of the claims we handle are on a no win no fee agreement, meaning that you won’t need to pay anything upfront and will only be required to pay your legal fees if the claim has been successful. We normally take out an After The Event (ATE) insurance policy on your behalf when we make a no win no fee claim. If your claim is unsuccessful, this insurance policy covers you completely. It also means you can file a claim for compensation without having to pay anything up front.
