The study of law is considered as one of the most prestigious professions that offers great return on investment owing to its lucrative salaries as well as prestige status.

However, in-order to be regarded as a lawyer, one needs to have undergone extensive educational training and testing before being granted a license to pursue their various areas of practice.

Since the Kenyan law does not permit lawyers to advertise their services, it can be difficult sometimes to know who to hire.

Nevertheless, this should not be a problem anymore as it is now easy to search the credentials of various Kenyan advocates online.
