All Law Ltd: It's very difficult to work out which law firm is best for your case based on simply flicking through each firm's website. Common variants such as www.law.co.uk or www.alllaw.com are being used by other firms. getting you the best outcome possible and delivering a brilliant ...


WYM Legal Ltd: The official site we link to above is www.wymlegal.com and www.wymlegal.co.uk does not currently redirect there. According to the organisation's website, they 'deliver effective regulation of specialist conveyancing and probate lawyers ... The official site is HTTPS secure...


Woodstock Legal Services: Some law firms list hobbies, pets names, and even favourite colours which we think is not only pointless, but a little off putting on a serious legal services site. Woodstock Legal Services is a trading name of Woodstock Legal Services Limited so not too much confusion ther...


Wolf Law Solicitors: We don't recommend using this as a deciding factor on its own though. All personal injury firms should not charge you a penny up front or if your case loses. We've seen many firms with negative reviews from buyers telling them to 'hurry up' their selling client. Unfor...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: Those are merely claims about the firm's branding having existed for a really long time. that they are an 'outdated', 'inefficient', and 'unfriendly' firm). compared to testimonials provided by the company themselves. So for Wilford Smith to have such a high positive profile...


Wildcat Law Ltd: But a quick note on navigation. So what can? class="infoquote "When reviewing the performance of a firm or department we use various criteria; our focus is on the bench strength of the team"< div> That quote is from the website of https: www.legal500.com " ...


WH Solicitors: If there is only one or two solicitors in the practice and they say they specialise in three dozen types of law - certainly be cautious. People are just often far less inclined to publicly discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, or brain injuries on comment boards than they about...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: On top of that we've also seen a criminal law specialist receive a negative review for refusing to take on someone's divorce case, and many firm's getting 5 stars for services they don't provide (such as an amazing pizza). This can be incredibly useful because there ar...


Walker Foster Solicitors: The .com version is https-secure though for submitting your personal details on their contact form. That's more rare than you might expect. These are just some ideas on what to notice about a firm rather than relying on the sales-pitch. But the Law Society also provides con...


UVS Law: This includes Business Immigration such as Sponsorship Licences and Skilled Workers, Personal Immigration such as Partner Routes (e.g. The Act replaced previous immigration laws and introduced new regulations regarding immigration and citizenship. The Immigration Rules...

The Law Partnership Solicitors: That could still be a 'specialist' firm if each solicitor is expert in each case type. A site we've often praised and sadly without good counterparts in Scotland or Ireland yet. Common variants such as www.tlps.com or www.thelawpartnership.co.uk are currently owned by differ...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "As a forward-thinking law firm, we are continuously investing in new and innovative legal solutions and technology"< div> Another quick note on navigation. However this is something you can actually check up on if the firm is registered with t...


Stephanie Heijdra: She also has an LLM in Legal Practice."< div> You'll find that barristers are much more embedded in the legal process which is why their photos are often of them in wigs and robes whilst solicitor websites are more likely stock photos of people in various coloured sh...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: There are countless numbers of fraudsters https: www.telegraph.co.uk money consumer-affairs how-protect-property-fraud-landlord-bank-scam-2022-uk " attempting to coerce property clients< a> into handing over their house deposit. Sometimes, like many consumers, we j...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: This is a very good example of why. We've been hoping that for many years and it's getting there . Most firms will say they are modern with a unique setup. class="infoquote "Where possible we try to agree fixed or capped fees. We've written many articles on what to l...


Sternberg Reed LLP: Finding a product you want online is relatively simple. class="infoquote "We are one of the largest law firms in Essex & East London, with offices in Barking, Romford and Grays."< div> That snippet is a quote from the Sternberg Reed solicitors' website and encap...


Solidaire Solicitors: So a resource that gives you actual dates to compare is well worth keeping in mind. Be aware that the firm's official site is www.solidaire.co.uk and the .com does not redirect you there. One downside of the internet is there is often too much choice these day...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: Smith & Graham however seem to fit neither of these descriptions and look unscathed by the recent developments . If a firm has more than one office some sites like Google will only show reviews for each individual office names in the search. class="infoquote "...


PCS Legal Ltd: But at the time of writing the firm had an average star rating of 3.9 which might be confusing. Just remember that the larger the firm, the more likely it will have complaints. Again, many people end up picking the conveyancer they like without checking with their mortgage p...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: If you have access to the possible services of 100,000 solicitors nationwide rather than just the few local law firms around you - surely you are better off? Yes, there is more choice. If you want to look a little deeper into any firm in England & Wales though...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: The majority of scammers seem to target property firms where thousands of people https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" have handed their entire house deposit< a> over to fraudsters sometimes...


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. If they all claim to be that way, then it doesn't help anyone to tell them apart. When was the last time you saw a firm ad...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 595126 mjv-co-solicitors-ltd" check out the page< a> for this firm you'll be able to see any alternative business names they use, their specialist areas of law, alternative contact details, and the qualification dates of e...


McCarthy + Co LLP: Sometimes simply because they received an official looking email that said to change the bank payment details at the last minute. class="infoquote "At our last Q9000 quality assurance audit we were rated 99%."< div> They have accreditation from various organisat...


Mark Croft Solicitor: So just be careful anyway when visiting sites and always be aware of what site you're on, it's padlock status, and who's emailing you.. Another is the more useless of claims (in our opinion) such as 'established in 1881'. So if you see any law firm's website s...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: But also maybe some they don't, yet should. If you are searching for a lawyer in England or Wales you're in luck because there is a third party website providing independent information about most law firms in those regions. and recommendations"< div> A quick no...


Lyons Solicitors: that they are 'unfriendly' and 'outdated') then these great sounding words don't help in the pursuit of telling one firm from another. For example if a solicitor states they have 20 years of experience, that's great. class="infoquote "Specialising in Residential and C...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "we cooperate with our trusted partners who can assist with accountancy, investment management, legal funding, franchise and other services"< div> . But we were impressed by the fact that as they've grown they seem to have limited that growth only ...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: We are dedicated to providing the highest quality legal advice and expertise for our clients, but in a way that's far friendlier, more accessible and clear-talking than you might expect from a law firm."< div> That's the brief explanation on each firm's pages. Large an...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: Have you ever seen a legal practice saying they are outdated, lacking transparency, and unapproachable? Of course not. Hopefully one day the Scottish database will be as good as the English (which is a tough thing to say as a Scottish firm ourselves!) class="infoquote...


Horsley Law: So where can you regularly get useful information about lawyers and legal practices? For example today we're using Horsley Law: class="infoquote "A Law Firm With a Difference"< div> As they claim at the very top of their website. https: solicitors.lawsociety...


Hill House Chambers: Typically solicitors are not authorised to represent clients in actual court. The Law Society of England & Wales provides this information on all solicitors which is great. class="infoquote "I have barristers based in different parts of the UK and they are also more t...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: class="infoquote "we always offer an initial discussion* free of charge"< div> To Heritage Park's credit, they have asterix'ed this statement and put a clarification later on. Many amazing firms with a long histories have only a handful or even zero reviews. ...


HCR Legal LLP: Just keep aware of which site you're on and what you discuss by email as fraudsters are always looking for ways to https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conveyancing-scam-friday-afternoon-fraud-legal-sector-email-hacker" part you from your money< a>. The...


Harrison's Solicitors: One of the downsides of searching for a firm online is that you only see the website. However, this is more impressive than many might realise. You can also rely on our help in re-mortgaging, selling, or buying a home."< div> . class="infoquote "Harrison's Sol...


Guardian Law: That's because while many people are very happy to post about the great pizza or hotel stay, they are less inclined to publicly discuss their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or criminal convictions. They are an excellent resources and we absolutely recommend checking through th...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: The answer isn't completely black and white, but certainly there is enough anecdotal evidence from our 20+ years in the industry to make the claim that people have found better results with specialist Motor Offence, Divorce, and Medical Negligence firms. The idea being tha...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: But they also indicate a solid history, experience, and a sense of real pride in their work. That's much rarer than you might think. It is unrivalled by it's counterparts in https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 471969 girlings-personal-injury-claims-ltd" the useful...


Frei Solicitors: 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 try to find a range of professionals in various sections of law. But the thing about https: www...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: Whilst that may have been a good indication of a qualified firm during the last century, people move jobs now and create new firms much easier. So what can you use to separate them and find the firm that fits your needs best? class="infoquote "Foster & Coleman are ...


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. We've been writing in the legal industry for over twenty years and conveyancing firms with star ratin...

Amy King Legal: class="infoquote "We represent each claim individually and invest our very best minds in every case we take on."< div> < br> This is often the centre of the argument between using a large or small firm to handle your case. (Yes, even law firms use sneaky market...


EMD Law LLP: But all these changes and niche specialisations firms can now focus on thanks to being able to market their services online to a wider audience - has never negated the need for the standard 'high street' style solicitor's office. At least this sounds as though you will...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: The website also features profiles of the firm's lawyers , with detailed biographies and information about their areas of expertise. A quick note on navigation. Google has changed so that sometimes you have to enter in the full name of a firm and it's location i...


Eatons Solicitors: Also 'eatons solicitors leeds' will bring up different reviews to 'eatons bradford'. You don't see that for any other case type such as a disgruntled divorcee complaining their spouse's firm won. Property sales are the only area of law where we have seen people from t...


Drummond Miller LLP: That was until the internet came along. The official website follows the firm's name so www.drummondmiller.co.uk as the firm is not 'Drummond & Miller' as we've seen some people searching for on here. Any concerns, ring your actual solicitor to check. It's very common for so...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: While one may sound easier or more likely to succeed on paper, it may not work best for your particular problem. Many law firms have started offering this service and using this process but there are also a number of firms being created specifically to focus on this way of...


Defank Solicitors: The easiest way to spot the difference is by searching the bottom of the firm's website. The firm's official site is www.defanksolicitors.com but www.defanksolicitors.co.uk is not owned by them. We have seen notes about a Defank Solicitor in Croydon but that seems to be the ...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: The downside to having a wealth of choice is of course ... You can enter the name of a solicitor or a firm and https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 478054 clarkson-wright-jakes-ltd" see plenty of useful information< a> such as all trading names,...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: These details are then sold on to law firms, rather than actually going directly through to a solicitor yourself. However, some firms employ paralegals to do most of the work and interact with the client. class="infoquote "full authorization and regulation from the So...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: However you can easily end up with a 1-year qualified novice from a 200-year old firm, and a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old firm. So it's not as dramatic as on first glance. 'cullimore dutton solicitors chester'). Not so many firms are forthcoming with such details...


Calio Claims: The official website of the backing firm Lindsays is https: www.lindsays.co.uk" www.lindsays.co.uk< a>, with the official site of this branding being www.calioclaims.co.uk which is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via the contact form. But on the Law So...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: People have handed over https: www.lawsociety.org.uk public for-public-visitors common-legal-issues payment-diversion-fraud" tens of thousands of pounds< a> in house deposits to fraudsters over the past couple of decades.

Brown and Co Solicitors: Other variants such as www.brownandco.co.uk take you to completely different firms and you can't have ampersands in web addresses so a www.brown&co.co.uk entry in the browser bar for example will result in an error or a search results page being shown. People are handing ten...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: So what other factors can you use to distinguish between legal service providers? class="infoquote "Search our team of legal experts, and find the right person to discuss your needs."< div> That's a quote from Brodie's own website and brings us to our first reso...


Bridge McFarland LLP: 8 staff x 5 years experience = 40). There are many resources available to you though and many things you might not have considered when checking a legal professional's website. If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 621785 bridge-mcfar...

Backhouse Solicitors: etc. People have handed over tens of thousands in home deposits to fraudulent bank accounts sometimes based on nothing more than an official-looking email stating the payment details have changed. The founding date of a firm is utterly meaningless and usually tenous. ...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: So if anyone knows about law firm's websites, we're surely in that list . Absolutely, a firm that indicates potential pricing on their site is showing< u> a level of transparency rather than just claiming to have such. Even for property sales firms. We did see a few negat...


A City Law Firm Ltd: So for any firm you're able to see for yourself whether there is a decent amount of experience individually and collaboratory in the firm you're thinking of using. Their organisation provides an excellent range of user side data which is sadly not mirrored by their Scottis...
