Are No Win, No Fee Lawyers Good?

If you're thinking about making a personal injury claim, you’ve probably come across the term "No Win, No Fee". It might sound too good to be true—but is it? Can you really trust a No Win, No Fee solicitor to do a good job?

The short answer: Yes—if you’re working with a properly qualified and regulated solicitor.

At Inson Legal, I support injured people across the North West—including many in Bolton—to get the justice and compensation they deserve without paying anything upfront. Here’s what you need to know.

What Does No Win, No Fee Actually Mean?

“No Win, No Fee” is the everyday term for a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). In simple terms:

• You don’t pay any legal fees upfront.

• If your claim is unsuccessful, you don’t owe us anything.

• If you win, our legal costs are paid by the other side and from a capped portion of your compensation.

This approach exists to give everyone—regardless of income—the ability to pursue a valid legal claim.

Choose a Properly Regulated Solicitor

Before committing to any legal help, make sure you’re dealing with a qualified solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

Unfortunately, many injury claims start with unregulated call centres or claims management companies. These are often just middlemen—not legally trained, not insured, and not professionally accountable.

Some websites and companies look and sound like solicitors. Read the small print at the very bottom of a website and it will tell you if they are solicitors regulated by the SRA.

Solicitors, on the other hand, are bound by strict duties:

• Years of legal training and qualifications

• Mandatory continuing professional development (CPD)

• Indemnity insurance for your protection

• Regular compliance audits

When you instruct a solicitor, you’re getting someone with the knowledge, credentials, and legal obligation to act in your best interests at all times.

Why Would a Solicitor Work With No Guarantee of Payment?

It’s a fair question. Solicitors like myself—Chris Hutchinson—have invested years in training and ongoing professional development. We’re heavily regulated and carry significant responsibility. So why take on cases without upfront payment?

Because it matters. I’m from Bolton and I’ve seen firsthand how many injured people can’t afford legal fees. If it weren’t for No Win, No Fee arrangements, many would simply go without justice. For me, helping people who genuinely need support is a reward in itself.

There’s also a sense of satisfaction in taking a claim through to conclusion—navigating all the hurdles and seeing a grateful client at the end.

No Win, No Fee: Support Throughout Your Claim

A good No Win, No Fee solicitor helps you at every stage—not just when the case settles:

• Interim payments: If liability is accepted, we may be able to secure an early payment to help with things like lost earnings or treatment costs.

• Faster progress: We only get paid when your case settles, so we’re motivated to keep things moving.

• Local understanding: At Inson Legal, we regularly help injured people in Bolton and understand the regional challenges they face—whether that’s in dealing with local hospitals, insurers, or loss of earnings from regional employers.

So, Are No Win, No Fee Lawyers Good?

Yes—when they’re qualified, regulated, and acting for the right reasons.

At Inson Legal, I combine professional experience with genuine care. Whether you're in Bolton, Oldham, Bury, or anywhere in the North West, you’ll receive expert legal help with no upfront cost—and the peace of mind that comes from working with a solicitor who’s legally bound to act in your best interests.
