Firm offers phone link to solicitors... for just €29 a session

SOLICITORS aren’t usually quick to undersell themselves but one company has come up with a way to provide cut-price consultations over the phone.

Legal Line, set up by solicitor Rachel McDaid, is from today offering a 10-minute talk with a practitioner for €29 — a fraction of the normal face-to-face fee.

Her company acts as the go-between, providing an automated phone system that allows a caller to select from one of 10 legal specialities and then putting them directly through to the nearest solicitor available to talk to them.
