In that I don't believe in them, yes.
As a body, they are nepotistic and self serving.

Individually, like most professions, there are some good 'uns but also like most professions the stuff at the top of the tree is the least accessible.

All these firms advertising on daytime TV are primarily staffed by McDonalds rejects, quite legitimately. I forget the figure, but the Law Society says that a qualified solicitor may supervise x number of clerks, and these untrained uneducated clerks will deal with your compensation claim.

That's pretty much the way it works
Your injury will be put into a program and a value will be generated.

The insurer will put the same information into a similar program.

The award will be somewhere between the two values.
