Thanks to our specialized knowledge, we quickly achieve good results. We often solve evidence problems in this way, with the right experts and specialists.

Legal expenses insurers often limit a client's freedom of choice. Legal expenses insurers have made fixed agreements with lawyers from their regular network. They often have to handle hundreds of cases at the same time for a fixed price. This can compromise the client's interests, partly because it compromises quality. Moreover, you cannot determine their expertise yourself. You choose quality over quantity.
The European Court of Justice for Human Rights has put an end to a more or less established practice among legal expenses insurers of requiring clients to be assisted by a lawyer from the legal expenses insurer's network. The European Court has ruled that clients are not obliged to follow the advice of the legal expenses insurer.
This right cannot be restricted by including in the policy that the insured is obliged to use the lawyers or attorneys of the legal expenses insurer.
The free choice of lawyer also applies if the client disagrees with the way in which the case is being handled. The client can then invoke the dispute resolution procedure (which is included in almost every legal assistance policy) and submit the case to a lawyer of their choice, at the expense of the legal assistance insurer.
