Before you tell us anything ineedalawyerto.com is a trading name of Rooney Family Law Limited, a Scottish solicitors practice regulated by the Law Society of Scotland. If you send an enquiry, we read what you tell us, work out which area of law it belongs to, and pass it to one firm we work with. We never send an enquiry to more than one firm.
Some enquiries, such as an injury or medical treatment that went wrong, involve information about your health. The law treats that as a special category of personal data, so we ask you to confirm twice what you want us to do with it: once now, in general terms, and once at the end, before anything is sent.
You may stop at any point. Nothing is sent until you press the button on the final step. Sending an enquiry does not instruct anyone to act for you.
I have read the statement above and I want Rooney Family Law Limited to read my enquiry, including any information about my health, so that it can be used to identify the relevant area of law and passed to one Scottish solicitor practice that handles this type of work.
