QualitySolicitors to put desks in 500 WHSmith branches

I think this is going to be one of the biggest things to hit the legal industry in a long time. I recently had some time off from work and went down to a local market and there were solicitors on the streets touting for personal injury business - the real world is this, not the swish offices we all sit in each day. I think its easy to forget that in the real world most normal people don't think about quality, they think about cost and convenience. It is easy for the average person to pop down the road and get legal advice like a "drop in" clinic. Cheap, affordable, convenient, transparent about costs etc. - thats what people want these days. The legal market has never offerred something like this and one firm will quickly become dominant in this area and swallow up all the smaller firms. There is a gap in the market and these guys are exploiting it. It will be like a supermarket opening up next to a row of small grocery shops.
