Wolf Law Solicitors: That seems very unfair to us. Sometimes the brief is to generate informative articles to educate consumers on a specific product or service.

Walker Foster Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our vision is to always be the first choice for local legal expertise"< div> They also offer a range of downloadable https: walkerfoster.com downloads " information leaflets< a> which seems a nice touch . Sadly, the up and coming generatio...

The Law Partnership Solicitors: Abdul Khan who qualified in 1999, and Rashminder Sarai in 1997.

But let's take two extremes to highlight this example. class="infoquote "We str...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: But for their claim of being 'friendly and professional' most people will turn to prior client comments for evidence of that. Remember that ampersands can't be used in web addresses so www.thomas&thomassolicitors.co.uk will bring up an error or redirect you elsewhere dependi...


Stephanie Heijdra: Barristers may be part of a 'chambers' or simply be working on their own. class="infoquote "conscientious, approachable and methodical in her approach" "She was quick to turn the case around in my favour and the outcome was great" "Gained more than I was...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: But if you see a firm of 1 or 2 solicitors stating they handle every case type you can think of from Personal Injury to Family Law, Criminal Law and Immigration as well - chances are they are probably not able to keep themselves as well informed or up to date as a specialis...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: On the whole they are positive, however in the case of https: www.google.com search?q=summerfieldbrowne+cambridge&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsZgtAzd_li97ev6QBMxCnd-bir8EA%3A1661867136831&ei=gBQOY5WlMuyUhbIPkqSo2A4&ved=0ahUKEwiV5erC2e75AhVsSkEAHRISCusQ4dUDCA4&ua...

Solidaire Solicitors: The firm's site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via their online contact form. It's not always easy with Google. Be aware that the firm's official site is www.solidaire.co.uk and the .com does not redirect you there. Most solicitors within Engla...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: This is important because depending on the browser you use, entering an invalid address can send you to search results which can list the wrong firm at the top.

Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: The Law Society of England & Wales has an amazing amount of https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 93290 sarah-natalie-rostamlou-andrews" user-side information< a> on each firm registered with them. The main points seem to be that a larger firm will have more resource...


PCS Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "Welcome to PCS Legal. Barristers with the Bar Standards Council. It introduces a regulatory name many may not be familiar with . This is because unlike most legal services, much of the buying selling process for property is not in the control of th...

Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: An email like that surely deserves 30 seconds to call and confirm before transferring £50k? class="infoquote "We will always be honest about whether we can help you, what you can expect from us, and what it will cost."< div>. For example, this snippet from the f...


SG Murphy Solicitors: Much of the language they use sounds the same and even the images on their websites look the same - professional looking people, smiling, and shaking hands. So how do you tell them apart? Sadly, since the giant push for marketing jargon to make things sound great no...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: It wasn't until we researched MJV Solicitors that we realised there was a once-hugely-popular phrase now seemingly missing from the pages of most current law firm websites. The Facebook reviews were a bit disorganised and not matching up with the star ratings. While seeing s...


McCarthy + Co LLP: McCarthy's site does state some of the awards won including a few from the Irish Law Awards. One thing to bear in mind though is that while many firms claim to be award winning - not all of them seem to clarify which award that is. This offers huge advantages ...


Mark Croft Solicitor: This statement is clear as it means Mark Croft himself has 28 years of experience . If you look up the Law Society of England & Wales you can check the alternate trading names, contact details, other offices, languages spoken and most importantly the qualification dates of ...

QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: However, Quality Solicitors is not the parent company of Large & Gibson or any of the dozens of law firms currenly displaying that honorific. People simply aren't as quick to discuss their divorce, criminal proceeding, or child custody battle in a review forum. class=...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: But we can confidently state it's not. It was all relevant stuff such as a pop up box to click to see those Trustpilot reviews, a chat dialogue pop up, a scrolling intro header section, etc. www.keesolicitors.com does not redirect you there though and there are a few other f...


Horsley Law: We've long advocated people use this online resource when looking into hiring a legal professional because they provide a wealth of information about each firm's contact details, alternate trading names, languages spoken, and the experience expertise of individual solicito...

Harrison's Solicitors: Also note that the full name of the firm is Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP. It has levelled the playing field so that smaller firms offering great service can't be crushed out of the market by larger, bigger-budgeted firms. It did for "caversham" and "woodle...


Guardian Law: There is a backdated blog of articles with dozens of advice segments with titles such as 'Risk to employers of backdated holiday pay claims' , 'Restrictive Covenants – are they worth the paper they are written on?' , and 'How do you unfurlough staff?' . class="in...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: We did notice negative reviews for this company online but they seemed to be the same one copy pasted onto each forum. The opportunity for depth of experience is also with the former. However we see such claims as basic marketing ploys. For example, if you see a law firm of...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: But while those sales words sound good, they really don't help you distinguish one firm from another. The Government has continued to strip Legal Aid and reduced the amount of people it can help to almost sub-decimal point percentages. But as phrases such as No Win No...


Frei Solicitors: We try to find a range of professionals in various sections of law. The amount of legal work required to buy, sell and just own a house is huge. The majority of clients that would use such a service will want recommendations. This brings us to today's tip which is not to j...

EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: The home page provides an overview of the firm's services and areas of expertise, along with a brief introduction to the firm and its philosophy. class="infoquote "We have decades of experience providing high quality and bespoke solutions to cater for you distinct nee...


Eatons Solicitors: You can look up any firm registered with them and see alternative trading names, contact details, languages spoken, all office addresses, and so on. But there won't be a 150 year old guru sat behind a desk monitoring everything. Flicking through the https: solicitors...


Drummond Miller LLP: Solicitors could work from home, create their own startup firm, and build connections to grow their business without the need to spend a decade under someone else's brand first. We can't even link you to a page with information, only https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solici...

Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: But you can end up with a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law firm or a 1-year novice solicitor from a 200-year old brand name. So the age of the firm's logo will probably bear no relation on how well they will run your case. In particular - property sales clients...

Calio Claims: But on the Law Society of Scotland's website the https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=lindsays&Postcode=&type=firm" search function is very limited< a> and doesn't always match well. That's probably why only 8% of people clicked that they trusted company provi...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: In fact, they could probably do with updating their website content to reflect the extra years of experience gained since that statement was put on the site. Buchanan and Company do have a Testimonials page on their website. it sounds great but doesn't actually provide you...


Brown and Co Solicitors: You'll get a lot of opinions on social boards or 'help' articles about the pros cons of using a large law firm, a small local firm, a specialist, a general practice firm, etc. 'brown and co solicitors london' . On top of that there are useful staff profiles on their website ...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: That can't possibly be true of course. That's why most people turn to the independent comment boards such as Google , Trustpilot or Facebook rather than simply reading the customer testimonials provided by a company. The firm offers legal advice to private and public sector...


Bridge McFarland LLP: The other two mean they've simply added up the years of all the staff (e.g. They state alternative company names, all office addresses, specialist case types, and most importantly - qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. If you look up https: solicitors.law...


Brian Barr Solicitors: One of the problems when trying to find a law firm to help with a case is the similarities between each firm's website. So how do you tell them apart? For example, the majority of compensation claim firms state they are 'specialists'. So what are they saying about t...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Just always try to keep aware of which site you are on and who you are emailing back and forth with.

Backhouse Solicitors: Always read comments, not glance at star ratings. These redirects are an important service we think not enough lawyers pay attention to in order to protect their clients. etc. The most common are those https: www.itv.com news calendar 2021-12-16 ripon-man-scammed-...

ACSL Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "We are transparent about our prices – they're all listed here on the website."< div> These sorts of statements are not always placed front and centre, but they are the type of thing to watch for. We did see a few negative comments but they ...


A City Law Firm Ltd: They will all still be the positive comments, but https: acitylawfirm.com testimonials " they will also display< a> the name of an actual business willing to have their brand posted on that page next to those comments. So if you're having trouble finding them bear that i...


Two Harcourt Buildings: They do not travel into those official addresses every day for work. Especially if there isn't much extra independent information to base a decision on instead. . Coming back to the differences in setup mentioned before, a law chambers is not like a law firm of solic...
