What Firms do we Recommend?

We've written dozens of full-length, in-depth, and un-bias review articles on various UK law firms covering a wide range of case types and locations. They are all hosted on our main website where you will also find a solicitor search function to find someone local to help.

Please check out the new US Law Firm Reviews section on our sister site.


WYM Legal Ltd: Obviously with a w right after the www. We've been in the legal industry for over 20 years now, but haven't had much dealings with the CLC so can't comment further. Tens of thousands of pounds being transferred to a fraudster's bank account simply because someone didn't chec...


Woodstock Legal Services: They include direct contact information and work history details of each staff member which is perfect. However on this occasion we have because they are not just hand-picked and solicited client remarks but actual comments from industry peers who have worked with the firm....


Wolf Law Solicitors: The majority of companies in any industry pay a content writer to fill their website pages. Sometimes the brief is to generate informative articles to educate consumers on a specific product or service. All firms can call themselves 'leading' in one thing or another. That's ...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: On that topic we should cover some notes about navigation. Todays article focuses on Wilford Smith solicitors. So for Wilford Smith to have such a high positive profile on review sites is very encouraging. We think it's quite a pointless claim which Wilford Smith and...


Wildcat Law Ltd: Although our services are often Barrister led, we use a range of lawyers and legal associates on a matter to ensure the most cost effective solution to our clients."< div> Another third party website we often recommend is that of The Law Society of England & Wales. Fo...


WH Solicitors: That's good. It's not enough to just say you are a specialist. A quick note on navigation should be made though because when looking up reviews on the public forums we did end up on the wrong pages sometimes. The amount of expertise and experience is a huge factor in select...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: Very often you can find more useful information from The Law Society of England & Wales than on some solicitor's own sites. It's not as if 'no site' means the company has shut down for a while. But we can't stress enough the importance of reading actual comments and...


Walker Foster Solicitors: But hopefully the information we provide is helpful generally. The official site is www.walkerfoster.com although there is a mirror site on www.walkerfoster.co.uk it is currently showing as not-https secure. The .com version is https-secure though for submitting your persona...


UVS Law: There are firms which will state they 'specialise' in a wide range of legal matters including immigration. class="infoquote "Opening up borders and welcoming diverse perspectives not only enriches cultures and economies but also fosters empathy and understanding among...


TWB Probate Solicitors: As you can see from https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 2235 twbprobatesolicitors-limited" the page on this firm< a> - solicitor Howard Brown has been a qualified solicitor since 1984. Just that it's not always crystal clear who you are hiring. class="infoqu...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: Something you just don't see elsewhere. (I know, it sounds simple now.) class="infoquote "We provide sound, practical advice in many aspects of the legal industry."< div> Luckily there is a great resource on the website of The Law Society of England & Wales. ...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: But more importantly you can look up the qualification dates and areas of law each individual solicitor specialises in. The firm does have testimonials on their website. Or 'founded in 1920' which makes the firm sound as though they have experience, but the solicito...


Stephanie Heijdra: Barristers are setup quite differently to regular law offices in that there typically aren't official physical law offices to go back and forth to. This is even more difficult for people working under their own name instead of a chambers because Google wants to match ...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: The latter being about the town with that name. This kind of offering demonstrates two things (to us at least). But Immigration specialist firms are sometimes only https: www.gov.uk government organisations office-of-the-immigration-services-commissioner" registered with ...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Hopefully we will see all law firms offer free initial consultations in the future, even just 30 mins over video chat. class="infoquote "We are a modern and progressive law firm, and operate a new legal services business model"< div> Unfortunately this statement...


Sternberg Reed LLP: Finding a product you want online is relatively simple. They offer a considerable amount of useful information to users. We've seen so many news headlines popping up about people https: www.bankofscotland.co.uk securityandprivacy protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-...


Solidaire Solicitors: Make sure any firm you are thinking of using has https: www.sra.org.uk " an SRA number< a> listed on their site. If you've come here after already sifting through a few dozen solicitor websites, you may have noticed most look the same with the same sales language and even...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: The first is the expertise of the staff, and more importantly - their experience. The best resource we've found is The Law Society of England & Wales website which is packed with useful details such as contact details, all office addresses, practice areas, and staff...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: Although people are quick to post a review of a movie they've just seen or a restaurant they've just eaten at - they are not as quick to jump online and discuss their messy divorce, child custody, criminal conviction, debts, etc. With this, you can always check the e...


PCS Legal Ltd: This is because unlike most legal services, much of the buying selling process for property is not in the control of the firm. It introduces a regulatory name many may not be familiar with . PCS conveyancing have customer testimonials on their website. The firm's bra...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: More from the Citizens Advice site: class="infoquote "The main advantages of solving a problem with ADR are: it's usually cheaper, more flexible, faster and less stressful than going to court, you might receive compensation and it's confidential ... Many law firms hav...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: If you want to look a little deeper into any firm in England & Wales though, we absolutely recommend checking out to see if The Law Society for your country has them on their books. But the age of the firm does not indicate the experience level of the solicitors wit...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: Unfortunately there are a limited number of colours, images, and ways to express professionals doing a professional job. Alternate searches such as 'njs law' or even typical mis-spellings such as 'nicholas jones sutton' brought up the correct firm. There is a wealth of data ...


SG Murphy Solicitors: In the last piece we wrote the firm had multiple complaints about feeling fobbed off onto junior staff. So how do you tell them apart? Sadly, since the giant push for marketing jargon to make things sound great no matter what, it can be difficult. If you want to ema...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Such as: class="infoquote "We have around 50 years combined experience of acting for people and businesses"< div> The length of time a firm has been running is pretty much always a prime positioned bit of marketing designed to grab the visitor's attention. As Na...


McCarthy + Co LLP: But every little helps. The official site is www.mccarthy.ie but domain attempts containing mccarthy&co or mccarthy+co will return an error or generate search results depending on your browser. It didn't even link to the secure version of the firm's website either. It's alw...


Mark Croft Solicitor: That's how uncommon it is. 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 any legal professionals within the firm. At the time of wr...


Lyons Solicitors: You could get a 1-year qualified lawyer from a 200-year-old firm, or a 40-year veteran from a 1-year-old firm. class="infoquote "Lyons is an established and Progressive Law Firm in Bristol providing a personal and cost effective legal service for individual and commer...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "The high standards of our personalised client care form an important part of our business."< div> Of course the first thing most consumers do when interested in a company is check out the public review boards https: www.google.com search?q=l...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: We should point out though, that if a firm only has a handful of reviews it does not mean they are not a good firm. Each firm also typically changes their own website to redirect to a profile section on the main https: en.wikipedia.org wiki QualitySolicitors" www.qualitys...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: But we can confidently state it's not. It also seems to show a bit more faith in their services , as they are not in control of all the reviews Trustpilot shows about them. But the claims are not unique. If you're trying to look for reviews on Google it is becoming more com...


Horsley Law: The snippets above are from testimonials posted on the firm's own site but many prefer to use independent boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. The firm is also registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great. Horsley's website is HTTPS secu...

All Law Ltd: However, there are no 200-year old lawyers out there waiting to take your case. The worst currently target property matters due to the large sums involved. The name they use on their branding however is just "Law". class="infoquote "We focus on ... Currently, we are h...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: Today we're going to highlight the firm Heritage Park Family Law Ltd. It's odd to imagine opening hours being a selling point, but when it comes to the worry of a court case - access to your legal team does become a consideration. For law firms there may be far less reviews ...


HCR Legal LLP: Everything from a one-person sole practitioner setups to multi-office practices with hundreds of staff. Every firm will put amazing sounding sales-pitches on their websites: class="infoquote "Our passion for people is at the heart of everything we do ... This above is...


Harrison's Solicitors: That includes any alternate business names (we'll come back to that), contact details, areas of law covered, and most importantly - qualifications of staff within the firm. For example, when we searched for "harrisons solicitors reading" the local listing simply would not po...


Guardian Law: There are several statements such as these two offering free help articles. To get the correct reviews to come up we needed to enter the full 'guardian law nottingham' but that is the case for many companies now if you're trying to find information reviews. that they a...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Therefore if you see a law firm has hardly any or even zero reviews online, that shouldn't necessarily be taken as a negative sign. class="infoquote "Our team of industry experts have been brought together to create a client focused business which understands o...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: Very rough example, but hopefully makes the point. You can read more about that phenomenon local here< a>. class="infoquote "Our specialist solicitors ... But they also indicate a solid history, experience, and a sense of real pride in their work. We're referring ...


Frei Solicitors: We also include specialist firms where we can for every area of law. As you may have noticed if you've flicked through the law firm listings pages of this site, we are not a directory listing every legal practice under the sun across the UK. We know of long establishe...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: This is the main way people judge a firm's 'reputation'. They have a huge amount of user side data about the firms and people registered with them. If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 630363 foster-coleman-limited" the page for any firm< a> you'll se...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: This is actually more significant than you might first think. Sadly that difference is often not explained well by either. Both deal with preparing contracts, land registry searches, local authority access checks, money transfers, etc. class="infoquote "Reliable Conve...


EMD Law LLP: Some people have https: www.telegraph.co.uk money katie-investigates thought-did-everything-right-100k-house-deposit-transferred " handed their entire house deposit< a> into a fraudster's bank account after receiving an official-looking email saying the payment details ha...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Therefore, it is extremely important to us that we provide an excellent service."< div> One of the standout features of the EDC Lord website is the detailed information provided on each of the firm's practice areas. Also you cannot use an ampersand in web addresses so ...


Eatons Solicitors: Firms will try to express experience in many ways. Flicking through the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 389365 eatons-solicitors" staff of this firm< a> you can see solicitors who have joined the profession in every one of the last five deca...


Drummond Miller LLP: Make sure to read the comments to see what kind of things might be being complained about or what things the firm seems to get right. There are usually easily spottable 'themes'. So any conveyancer with a high star rating is a rarity. They are all still mostly positive and ...


Defank Solicitors: There are thousands of stories online about people who have https: www.which.co.uk news article friday-afternoon-fraud-the-scam-that-wipes-out-your-house-deposit-in-seconds-aczyy9J2tFkK" handed their entire house deposit to scammers< a> sometimes based solely on a ...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: Underneath this snippet from the firm's website, it also states the firm was founded in 1875 before moving to Orpington, Kent in 1951. The Law Society also lists the qualification dates of each solicitor within any firm. class="infoquote "We support a number of...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: The importance of all this is because for many years now property sales have been the biggest target of scammers when it comes to legal matters. class="infoquote "Every day we change the lives of our Clients, Colleagues & Community through expert Legal and Fina...


Cook Legal Ltd: It wasn't too many decades ago that people's legal assistance choices included a handful of solicitors all with centre-of-town high street offices. The site is https: www.techtarget.com searchsoftwarequality definition HTTPS" HTTPS secure< a> for submitting your personal ...


Calio Claims: 'calio claims glasgow', which might show up different reviews than 'calio claims edinburgh'. It's just that the Calio Claims branding team focus solely on Personal Injury matters. The official website of the backing firm Lindsays is https: www.lindsays.co.uk" www.lindsays...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: This snippet above from the website of Buchanan & Co Solicitors is one such statement - i.e. We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years and have never seen a property law firm without such comments left. Also while the firm's branding uses an ampersand, suc...


Brown and Co Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 509558 brown-and-co-solicitors" check the page for this firm< a> you'll see contact details, case types covered, and most importantly - the number of years each qualified solicitor has been so. class="infoquote "Bro...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: With the birth of the internet, people can now choose from hundreds of thousands of legal service providers across the nation rather than being tied to their local high street law practice. Don't fall for this stuff. The Law Society of England & Wales will show you ...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Always bear these sorts of things in mind. They state alternative company names, all office addresses, specialist case types, and most importantly - qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. The first means the firm or the solicitor within the firm has been goin...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Both of the firms official sites are HTTPS secure for submitting your details in their contact form.

Backhouse Solicitors: We would have thought by now that all law firms would offer free consulations but it's still something many resist. would make researching and choosing the right firm for you far more simple and sure. Always check you're on the correct site and don't be afraid to call the ...


Amy King Legal: But how can a member of the public tell an experienced solicitor from a non-experience one? If a solicitor is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales you are able to look up alternate trading names, contact details, areas of law covered, and languages spoke...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: Little things like these can show a firm really interested in it's work, the people coming through their site, and that 'transparency' many claim to strive for. No variants we tried such as www.acslsolicitors.co.uk worked either. If you've just finished flicking through a do...


A City Law Firm Ltd: The Legal 500 is one name you might have spotted on a lot of legal professional websites. For example: class="infoquote "Named: Most innovative law firm, London"< div> class="infoquote "Voted top legal 500 family law firm"< div> These snippets from...


Two Harcourt Buildings: On the Bar Standards Board's site you can't always look up by overall firm name and even when you do find a page on an individual chamber's member the information is certainly not layman-friendly. Thankfully the legal industry is modernising and progress is speeding up...
