If I wanted to get a solicitor how much do they charge a day. Anyone know

Depends what your requirement is perhaps email a few, outline what you want and ask…. They are the people to ask and change the cost as they see fit….. They are not a one size fits all I wouldn't think ...

Too much for too little anyway, the same all over the World!

Having asked around a lot lately, all I can say is......... think of a number and double or even treble it. There are one or two who appear to have better reputations than others, but the best advice I have been given appears to be " Avoid ALL advocates in Girne and go to Lefkosa, making sure he or she does not have a branch in Girne.

Be clear what you want them to do, get it in writing and the cost. Ask around and check them out: many profess to be able to handle everything and they cannot to a satisfactory standard or positive outcome for you. There is no duty of care and liability insurance as far as i know.
Make sure if there are two parties involved, they are not connected to or associated with the other party.

They are NOT solicitors in the same way as they are legally qualified and under Law Society rules as in England & Wales. As pointed out, they do not regard themselves as owing their clients a duty of care ("You didn't ask the right questions") nor do they have as far as I'm aware, any client liability insurance.

I totally agree with laptawrinkly re not associated with one another, but as a local said the other day, when the chips are down and push comes to shove, we're all cousins and you (me) won't win.
