    Hi,

    I used Solicitor A for a couple of issues I had, Family law, selling a house. Fully paid and nothing outstanding. Now I am looking to buy a house and also want to take a personal claim for an injury but I want to use a Solicitor B who was recommended by a family member and is in much more conveinient location.

    So the question is, Do i need to notify solicitor A to inform him i'm not using him anymore or is it okay to just go with solicitor B??

    You have no obligation to continue giving business to solicitor A, nor do you have to inform him that you are going to solicitor B, you might as well ask the same question about Dunnes and Tesco, you are a free agent and can take your business where you please.

    It happens a lot down the country by the way, if a local farmer is selling land to another local farmer or there is a dispute between them which is going to law and it happens that they both use the same local solicitor then they will be told that one of them has to go to another solicitor to act on his behalf just for that situation as one solicitor wouldn't be able to act for both parties to the same transaction so 'solicitor hopping' happens more often than you'd be aware of.
