WYM Legal Ltd: But 'leading' is one of those words that doesn't really give you a specific metric you can measure against another firm. It's not uncommon to see even some of the country's top conveyancing companies with 2 star or 3 star average ratings. and an unusual three letter start ...


Wolf Law Solicitors: Unfortunately Scottish and Irish consumers don't have a similar facility to rely upon so count yourselves lucky. All personal injury firms should not charge you a penny up front or if your case loses. If you are looking up the firm on Google such as for reviews, you may have...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: This is unusual though because the firm deals with Conveyancing. This one from the Wilford Smith site is very clear , indicating that they have been serving clients for over 40 years. compared to testimonials provided by the company themselves. This is very different...


Wildcat Law Ltd: The official website we link to above is www.wildcatlaw.co.uk which is https secure for submitted your details in the contact form, but www.wildcatlaw.com does not redirect you there. Also note that if you are searching for reviews on Google these days you often have to en...


WH Solicitors: There are firms out there that say 'we specialise in xyz' and list a massive number of areas of law. The number of reviews that are for the completely wrong firm (which we'll cover in an moment) are just ridiculous. you'll usually be able to pick up enough bits and pieces. T...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "competent, professional, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout" "available to us 24 7 and really went above and beyond" "kept me up to date with what's happening" "made sure I got the appropriate treatment, physiotherapy and medication"< di...


Walker Foster Solicitors: Why? Because a lot of law firms will state 'we are a large well-established firm' along with a bunch of other claims without actually indicating why that is so. Aside from verifying a firm's experience and comments on them, there are often some things which we think ...


UVS Law: These include work visas, business visas, study visas, family visas, tourist visas, and transit visas. It's often easy to check if a law firm or lawyer is valid in the UK by checking with the SRA and https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 32565 uvs-...


TWB Probate Solicitors: This is to let people realise and choose from more options than they might think are available. The first is the https: www.sra.org.uk consumers register organisation ?sraNumber=804571" Solicitors Regulation Authority< a> (SRA) which lists all firms registered with them...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: class="infoquote "Specialising in Conveyancing, Landlord & Tenant, Immigration, Family Law, Wills Probate Trusts & LPA"< div> It can often be confusing when law firms state long lists of 'specialist' areas of law . So a conveyancing solicitor with a high rati...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: This can be incredibly useful in sifting out those with real experience and real specialism versus those attempting a jack-of-all-trades approach to law. No matter how many offices it gets, most businesses in Wales tend to have a local feel to them. Or 'founded in 1920'...


Sternberg Reed LLP: For example just entering the words sternberg and reed will bring up no reviews. However we always recommend reading the actual comments when it comes to law firm reviews rather than flicking through star ratings. Neither of the variants such as www.sternbergreed.co.uk get y...


Solidaire Solicitors: This means you are able to verify the 'experience' level of any solicitor you might be thinking of using. Things like this are important to note as there is https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" a lot of fraud< a> targeting customers of law firms at the moment. Th...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: There's always a debate between using a large vs small firm for some legal matters. Ideally what people want is a small personal firm, with the resources of a large firm, with a specialism in their particular case. Although people are quick to post a review of a movie...


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. Just remember that the larger the firm, the more likely it will have complaints. However most people prefer the independent forums such as Faceboo...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: However it was difficult to find any on the public review boards such as Google or Trustpilot. They offer a 30 minute free consultation to discuss your issue and see if ADR can help get the matter resolved without the need for court. 'dispute' and 'resolver'. Google has al...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: However, our poll a few years back indicated that only 9% of people trusted company provided testimonials. This should mean everyone has a much wider range of choice when it comes to getting help. Modern technology has brought services from across the UK to our fingertips. ...


NJS Law Ltd: Take this one also from the NJS site: class="infoquote "With combined experience totalling over 60 years, they wanted to find a way to make exceptional legal advice more accessible for everyone."< div> Most firms will state a length of time in one way or anothe...


SG Murphy Solicitors: 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. class="infoquote "At SG Murphy Solicitors we want to provide a level of customer service that will exceed your expe...


MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: class="infoquote "Since 1996 MPG have been providing professional support to the construction industry worldwide with our specialities in Quantity Surveying"< div> Quantity surveying is one of those terms that everyone knows, but isn't always quite sure what it...


McCarthy + Co LLP: English and Welsh potential clients can check out all related trading names, contact information, areas of law specialised in, even the individual names and qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. So always make sure you're on the correct site. Independent mar...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger companies as far as we can see. Many companies offer testimonials on their website and Marsden Rawsthorn are no exception. Because this firm has multiple offices you may need to search individually for reviews. The...


Mark Croft Solicitor: The age of the firm's logo should not influence your decision. class="infoquote "I have been involved in the criminal justice system for over 28 years."< div> First is this quote above from Mark Croft's website. This statement is clear as it means Mark Croft him...


Lyons Solicitors: On the other hand, a law firm with one solicitor trying to deal with 20 different case types would clearly not count as a specialist. Lyons makes no such claim. Sometimes simply because they received an official-looking email telling them the bank details had changed. We hel...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: One major feature is they list the actual qualification dates and area of law specialties of each individual solicitor registered with them. We very rarely push out direct advice in our articles but we have no problem stating that if the solicitor you're looking at hi...


UK Divorce Coach: Many also support clients in post-divorce recovery , helping them transition into a new phase of life with renewed purpose. This assists with decision-making by helping individuals understand their options and set realistic goals. Unlike solicitors, who handle legal proceed...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: This can be very useful when trying to work out whether a firm has genuine experience or is simply claiming to have such on their website. Not QS as a whole. class="infoquote "Meet your lawyer face-to-face and speak directly to staff familiar with your matter."< div...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: So we know a lot of the changes that have occurred and Family Law representation has seen it's fair share of those. class="infoquote "Our experienced family lawyers will listen and understand your circumstances, before agreeing a plan to achieve the best outcome fo...


Horsley Law: So checking for an SRA number is a good idea before filling in a contact form. class="infoquote "For a free and confidential discussion about your claim complete the short contact form."< div> A quick note on navigation. Some are data collectors who then sell ...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: When it comes to online reviews though there are two things you need to remember. class="infoquote "We know family law"< div> Luckily there are independent sources to check whether a firm has actual experienced, qualified staff. In these days of options and ever...


HCR Legal LLP: 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 ... class="infoquote "As an award winning Top 60 UK law firm we provide the full range of services that you would...


Harrison's Solicitors: However, this is more impressive than many might realise. Unfortunately for conveyancing firms when things go wrong they will usually get the blame no matter what has caused the delay or issue. It will take you less than 30 seconds to have looked up that information bu...


Guardian Law: Especially those with multiple offices. class="infoquote "Get instant access to our FREE People Manager's Guide before you have your difficult conversation with an employee" "Access our FREE Guide to Employment Contracts to find out what's missing in your contract...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our intimate knowledge of East Lothian & Edinburgh makes us your number one choice when buying or selling a property."< div> That means the main source people will turn to in order to check up on a firm is the public review boards such as Go...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: This firm is covered by The Law Society of England & Wales which we have long praised for having the best user-side data offering. For example, this snippet from their website: class="infoquote "Specialist debt recovery, litigation, and Insolvency lawyers since 2010"<...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: But most importantly they list the areas of law covered and qualification dates of each solicitor registered with them. As I said, this became common practice after the law changes in the 90s which stripped the nation of many Legal Aid helps and dumped all the burden onto ...


Frei Solicitors: class="infoquote "We determine our client’s objectives during the initial meeting, and always work towards our client’s timetable. The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or maybe bookmark the site if c...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: The official website for this firm is www.fosterandcoleman.com and currently www.fosterandcoleman.co.uk does not redirect you. This can be difficult when looking up comments about law firms though. There were some comments available when we looked: class="infoquote "t...


Farah Family Law: That's when having a specialist firm could make the difference between achieving the result you want versus not. One firm in Preston demanded a £5000 retainer before having a consultation. A quick note on navigation. The client will therefore genuinely be bene...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: This is hugely important to note because for property matters you absolutely need to make sure you are on the correct site and only discussing the sale with your firm. The first thing people tend to do to check up on this, though, is read public review boards such as...


England & Derbyshire LLP: We would therefore recommend utilising the law society pages for this as well, because each solicitor will often have their case expertise listed. These days, for many services, you don't even need to go to a typical high street solicitor. The longest serving seems to have s...

Nero Legal Ltd: Our goal is to help people spot differences between firms . Most being local and relating to homelessness financial struggles such as http: www.scotlandswinterproject.org " Scotland's winter project< a>, H4TH (Help 4 the Homeless), and http: starterpacks.org.uk " Star...


EMD Law LLP: There are always different options available and sometimes you don't necessarily need a solicitor. That's because while everyone is very happy to shout out to the world about the pizza they just tasted, they are often less keen to announce their messy divorce, bankruptcy, cr...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: The official site uses only the edclord part which is important to note because the firm handles property matters. The site also includes a blog section that features articles and updates on legal topics of interest, such as employment law, family law, and commercial law. ...


Eatons Solicitors: Many firms have testimonials on their websites, but that's not what people want to see. So are you at the mercy of bright web pages, well-crafted sales pitches, and photos of people in suits (all smiling and shaking hands of course) when trying to determine which firm ...


Drummond Miller LLP: So any conveyancer with a high star rating is a rarity. The law is constantly changing , but law firms themselves didn't really seem to change for a few centuries. This is because in property matters, clients are very, very, very rarely happy with how things have gone and ...


Defank Solicitors: Their site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details in the contact form. If you see claims that they are 'award-winning' but absolutely no indication what the award was for - be wary. For today's example we're using the website of the law firm Defank: clas...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: Sometimes over a simple official looking email which stated the bank details had suddenly changed. We see many legal practices touting 'established in' dates with the obviously intention of implying they are more experienced and well-established than others. Always be vigila...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: 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 might help you make a decision about which firm to use. So the quotes above are taken from the usual public boards http...


Crockett & Co Solicitors: Even when Legal Aid might be applicable. Their official website is at www.crockettsolicitors.co.uk with the .com version currently being owned by someone else. For example the founding solicitor at https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 468290 crocketts-li...


Cook Legal Ltd: Google has changed how you find reviews of firms on their search though. class="infoquote "our solicitors in Wirral can provide clear, practical advice and work quickly and efficiently to help you"< div> One thing people may not know about is that for legal ...


Calio Claims: For legal help south of the border we always recommend people check out The Law Society of England & Wales' website to get a wealth of background information. class="infoquote "Calio Claims has helped thousands of people recover physically and financially following...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years and have never seen a property law firm without such comments left. class="infoquote "We're a family run practice with more than 25 years of experience"< div> This is a much more helpful type of clai...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: For example it states Christopher Dun qualified as a solicitor in 1990, Robert Bradshaw in 2003, Andrew Clarke in 2012, right up to Kirstyn Burke in 2022. Don't fall for this stuff. The official site is www.brodies.com and at the moment www.brodies.co.uk does not redir...


Brian Barr Solicitors: This firm, like many others, provides customer testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "Highly recommend this firm for their expertise in fibromyalgia" "made what was an extremely stressful time in my life easier to deal with" "found me a fantastic CBT the...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: class="infoquote "We are here for comprehensive premier choice for business & personal legal services. As most fraud related to legal services happens via email. But it can result in having to wait for callbacks as the paralegal goes between you and the solicitor in c...


Backhouse Solicitors: class="infoquote "Incorporating Duffield Stunt Solicitors, established 1799"< div> When we are researching a firm it's actually this sort of statement which catches our eye. It's a firm we've worked with for many years but I hope that if you've read even just ...


Amy King Legal: Also, you could very well end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200 year old law firm while there are plenty of highly experienced lawyers at brand new firms. But how can a member of the public tell an experienced solicitor from a non-experience one? If a so...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: That's a big plus in our opinion and rarer than you might think. 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. There are other sources you can use to get...


A City Law Firm Ltd: This is from the Legal 500's description: class="infoquote "These rankings reflect the result of months of extensive analysis by our research team, who conduct thousands of interviews with private practice lawyers and read through tens of thousands of submissions in ...


Two Harcourt Buildings: Coming back to the differences in setup mentioned before, a law chambers is not like a law firm of solicitors. Not least because they provide very little data on firms and a search function that is hard to find and harder to navigate. A chambers is more like an introd...
