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.


All Law Ltd: The firm has some testimonials included on their website. So how can you discern one firm from another? As an example we're going to cover a firm called Law based in Preston. It's user-side offerings far exceed anything it's counterparts currently show. Here are som...


WYM Legal Ltd: If you've trawled through even just a handful of law firm websites today looking for one that stands out to you, you'll have noticed most have the same language and images. However, in this instance, CLC accreditation is not the only stamp of approval. So what thing...


Wolf Law Solicitors: (If that makes sense?) class="infoquote "You'll be given a representatives mobile number so you can call, even when the office is closed"< div> Little things like this are always a good indication of good customer service. class="infoquote "handled in a ...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: that they are an 'outdated', 'inefficient', and 'unfriendly' firm). 'Wilford Smith & Co' simply seems to be an older name still dotted around, not a different practice. This one from the Wilford Smith site is very clear , indicating that they have been serving clients for o...


Wildcat Law Ltd: If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today you'll probably have noticed a lot use the same sort of 'sales language'. However if you think about it no firm is ever going to claim to be the opposite - i.e. class="infoquote "The team at Wildcat Law c...


WH Solicitors: It may be a phrase we dislike resorting to, but it fits. class="infoquote "I received my settlement status within a couple of weeks even though it was a late submission application." "The outcome was very positive. We've seen law firms praised for their innovative ...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: There are other firms with 'waterstones' in the name such as Waterstone Legal in London. As some tend to pack their pages with nothing but sales pitches. Company websites can crash or require maintenance or updates that might require the original site to be taken down. Keep ...


Walker Foster Solicitors: class="infoquote "Walker Foster is delighted to have been awarded the Conveyancing Quality Scheme Accreditation for the twelfth year running."< div> The Law Society is the organisation that issues these accreditations. The official site is www.walkerfoster.com ...


UVS Law: Most firms will make claims about being 'exceptional' or 'committed' (certainly none will be claiming the opposite) but the thing to notice is that the firm specialises in immigration matters - i.e. Especially with everything going on at the moment. The Immigration Rules s...


TWB Probate Solicitors: The official site is www.twbprobatesolicitors.com which is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. The Law Society of England & Wales however has a wonderful site with a wealth of information on every firm registered includin...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: We did an entire article on Conveyancing reviews because the majority of firms that handle conveyancing in the UK will have an overwhelming number of negative reviews. We don't usually tell people what to do in our articles, but it's safe to say you can ignore such founding ...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: They all sound great descriptions, but as there are no firms claiming to be 'unfriendly', 'newbies', or 'out of date' - such terms don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. So what are they saying? class="infoquote "made a house sale process smooth an...


Sternberg Reed LLP: We've seen so many news headlines popping up about people https: www.bankofscotland.co.uk securityandprivacy protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" handing tens of thousands of pounds< a> of their house deposit to fraudsters just b...


Solidaire Solicitors: We've seen firms state phrases such as "20 years of combined experience within the firm". So how do you tell the firms apart when a website is pretty much all you have to go on? Solidaire are a law firm based in Milton Keynes. This means you are able to verify the '...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: My aim is to provide clear, practical, timely advice and services to my clients at a fair price."< div> Most companies will state their goal is to have satisfied clients . Another note on navigation. The main points seem to be that a larger firm will have more ...


PCS Legal Ltd: It introduces a regulatory name many may not be familiar with . We've also seen buyers leave negative reviews on the seller's solicitor, which simply does not happen with other types of legal matter. Again, many people end up picking the conveyancer they like without...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: The official website is www.dispute-resolver.com while the non-hyphenated www.disputeresolver.com is not currently in use. People have also handed their entire house deposit to a fraudster sometimes based on a single faked email. We found a website https: www.tradingstanda...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: It doesn't help that so many law firms repeat the same sales pitches, use the same language and even seem to use the same stock photos. Some firms will try to intimate experience with tag lines about having 'been in business for over forty years' or even ancient founding dat...


NJS Law Ltd: If you read '60 years of combined experience' on a law firm's website it could be that there are two veterans with 30 years' experience each. That firm was based in Macclesfield and some information review sites may still list some details for NJS Law under that firm name an...


SG Murphy Solicitors: There is also a case studies section detailing example cases for each case type along with the problems faced and timescales involved. Much of the language they use sounds the same and even the images on their websites look the same - professional looking people, smiling, an...


MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: They assume a lengthy procedure and high costs. But did you know some can help with disputes? How do you choose one firm over another? First we would recommend reading this article on the MPG website entitled https: mpgqs.com wp-content uploads 2022 05 Michael-Gall...


McCarthy + Co LLP: It's always a sad thing for us to admit with 1to1Legal being a Scottish firm, but The Law Society of England & Wales has produced a far better and more user friendly website than any of its counterparts. It didn't even link to the secure version of the firm's website eithe...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: Some people just flick through star ratings but that doesn't always give a good indication. This is incredibly useful for checking whether the solicitor you are speaking to or the one going to be assigned to your case has the experience and expertise to do the job. That's ...


Mark Croft Solicitor: The age of the firm's logo should not influence your decision. Another is the more useless of claims (in our opinion) such as 'established in 1881'. This statement is clear as it means Mark Croft himself has 28 years of experience . We've been working with law firms ...


Lyons Solicitors: That may sound like wasting time, but we've been doing this for over twenty years now and can tell you it is highly common to see people reviewing the wrong firm or complaining about something that is out of the company's control. The quote above is from the https: ...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: This isn't as much of a problem on this occasion due to the case range covered by the firm. If a firm has only 1-2 solicitors but handles every case type under the sun - then it's fair to assume they are not as experienced or up to date as a firm with several solicitors e...


UK Divorce Coach: Knowing you have someone who is 100% on your side could make the world of difference.. They offer strategic thinking, mindset shifts, and coping strategies to minimise conflict and ensure the best possible outcomes. Whether it's preparing for mediation, organising financial ...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: class="infoquote "Meet your lawyer face-to-face and speak directly to staff familiar with your matter."< div> One of the main reasons we recommend checking out a firm on the law society's site, though, is that they also display the qualification dates of any sta...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: Apart from that though, the site is happily concise providing the information you would want to read rather than hundreds of pages with bland articles simply for trying to get more pages into search engines. class="infoquote "Make A Free Enquiry A solicitor will cal...


Horsley Law: Their official site is at www.horsleylaw.co.uk but be aware that the .com version does not redirect you there. 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. Horsley's w...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: There are now specialists for Immigration, Motor Offences, and even really niche areas of law such as employer Regulatory Defence. A solicitor may not be able to represent you in court while a barrister can. As you can see the majority are positive . But if you've b...


HCR Legal LLP: We highly recommend reading through actual comments left rather than simply flicking through star ratings. That's a huge range of experience levels within the firm mixing wise old heads with fresh eyes - which can't possibly be a bad thing. For example, if you https: soli...


Harrison's Solicitors: But you can no longer see reviews for the company in general. There are no firms claiming to be unprofessional and bad value for money are there? So these statements don't help much. Never discuss payments via email. Unfortunately for conveyancing firms when things go...


Guardian Law: It raises the point that if every firm says they are 'experienced' (and no firm would admit to being 'inexperienced') then how can you know which one is better than the other? Luckily for the English and Welsh consumers seeking legal help, there is an excellent resou...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: There is a lot of jargon in the legal industry and not just related to the law. class="infoquote "The friendly team at Garden Stirling Burnet are always on hand to offer professional advice when you need it most."< div> Another quick note on navigation. The firm...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors have been on the network for a while now and we wanted to make a few points about researching firms in general. class="infoquote "Our team of industry experts have been brought together to create a client focused business which understands...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: But they also indicate a solid history, experience, and a sense of real pride in their work. class="infoquote "At Girlings we embrace change and are quick to adapt to meet the needs of our clients."< div> There are four office addresses mentioned including San...


Frei Solicitors: class="infoquote "extremely clear, concise, practical and courteous" "very happy with the company providing a tailored service for my company" "simplified the entire process for my matter"< div> Those are some snippets about Frei Solicitors from the public ...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: class="infoquote "They now bring that successful track record, as well as almost 40 years of experience, to their own practice."< div> This statement is part of a brief history of the setting up of the firm. Many even have the same images of people smiling and ...


Farah Family Law: The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details through their online contact form. The law is not something you can think your way around the problem. But when it comes to family law - it can be rare . The reason people like the word "specialist" so m...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: There are a lot of terms to contend with when searching for help with legal matters. There have been tens of thousands of people across the UK https: www.lawsociety.org.uk public for-public-visitors common-legal-issues payment-diversion-fraud" handing their entire house d...


England & Derbyshire LLP: This can be either the number of years the firm has been running, the number of years the longest serving solicitor has been working, or the number of years of the staff members combined together. From seasoned veterans to fresh blood. At the moment the main targets in the l...

Nero Legal Ltd: However, Google has changed how it displays reviews so you may need to enter the town name for any firm you're trying to research (e.g. Either they offer a unique type of service, handle a unique case range, utilise a unique setup, or stand out from the others in just their ...


EMD Law LLP: Originally starting under the name Baily Strickland and Bryant, the firm became Baily Bryant & Dumbleton in 2003, then finally EMD Law LLP in 2008. (Lots of people smiling, looking at paperwork, and the obligatory handshake snapshot.) class="infoquote "We believ...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Google has changed so that sometimes you have to enter in the full name of a firm and it's location in order to see reviews - e.g. Therefore, it is extremely important to us that we provide an excellent service."< div> One of the standout features of the EDC Lord websi...


Eatons Solicitors: The official site is currently www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk with www.eatons-solicitors.com redirecting you there. Never compare average star ratings for legal services. But we always recommend using The Law Society of England & Wales' website. Also 'eatons solicitors leeds' w...


Drummond Miller LLP: So what can you use? People typically rush to review forums when thinking about using a firm. Today's article however is on Drummond Miller. class="infoquote "We get to know our clients and understand the issues that are important to them so we can provide th...


Defank Solicitors: However that is not the way for things like Criminal Law. class="infoquote "Our firm is proud to serve the London community and beyond, delivering exceptional legal solutions"< div> A quick note on navigation. class="infoquote "With a dedicated team of ex...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: too much choice. While 'back in the day' most people ended up having to use the law firm near them, the internet has allowed people a wealth of options and to manage their case effectively without ever having to set foot in a solicitor's office. Always be vigilant over whi...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: The first is simple and should mean there is someone on staff with 40 years of experience working in this area of law. If you've flicked through a few of our articles already you'll hopefully have noticed that we try to mix reviews of any firm with general information that m...


Crockett & Co Solicitors: Google has changed how you find reviews though so if you can't see anything pop up when searching for the firm's name alone, try inserting the name of the office location as well - e.g. There are so many scams involving law firms the SRA has a https: www.sra.org.uk consum...

Buchanan & Co Solicitors: But according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you put any stock in company provided reviews. And they talk normal" "easy to get through to my solicitor and they replied to me promptly" "Put him at ease from the word go" "Everything we wanted was sorted promp...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: class="infoquote "Brodies LLP is a Scottish law firm. You need to find the things that set firms apart from each other, not what just sounds good on a webpage next to an image of lawyers smiling and shaking hands. The argument is often made that large firms can ...

ACSL Solicitors Ltd: We know this does happen alot with property matters, where clients of the other side start leaving negative messages about the buyer seller's solicitor. So how can you tell the actual experience levels within a firm if founding dates are meaningless? That's act...


A City Law Firm Ltd: This is something to watch out for though. Their organisation provides an excellent range of user side data which is sadly not mirrored by their Scottish or Irish counterparts. Don't make assumptions because for all you know it may be an award for best logo design and nothin...


Two Harcourt Buildings: As you can see, each is still specifically about one particular barrister. 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-friendl...
