Youngs Solicitors: class="infoquote "Public Funding or 'Legal aid' is available for Care Proceedings and Domestic Violence Domestic Abuse injunctions (where financially eligible)."< div> This is actually a much more impressive statement than you might think. That doesn't mean we lo...
Woodstock Legal Services: Click on our profile pictures for more information."< div> A quick word on navigation. It stands to reason though. Clearly we ended up with a positive impression of their law practice otherwise we would not have added them to our network. However on this occasion we ...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: It has not kept up with the rise in regular inflation fees at all. Ever since the '90s the government has been stripping away what Legal Aid covers and the amount a solicitor can earn under it's scheme. For any firm listed you'll be able to see alternate contact details, all...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on giving the best support service available and are dedicated to delivering the right solution for you."< div> Experience and expertise don't automatically make a good lawyer. There is a whole section https: trustinheritance...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: For example, for many years now people have been able to hire a barrister direct through the new Public Access scheme. class="infoquote "Our aim is to build long standing relationships with everyone we work with and to ensure we take the time to listen, understand and ...
The Legal Practice Ltd: We therefore highly recommend that you bookmark the correct site if you plan on coming back. That's actually a much bigger deal than you might think. There is also a huge amount of people that leave negative reviews about the other side's solicitor during a house transact...
Stephanie Heijdra: We try to make sure you know about the different types of legal help you can get in your area including the typical high street solicitor but also things like will writers and accountants that can sometimes help with legal issues at a fraction of the cost. We did find Steph...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: You may be surprised in this day and age to learn that there are still hundreds of such firms about the UK with antiquated views on women in the workplace and even an aversion to the internet. On the whole they are positive, however in the case of https: www.google.com sea...
Thaxted Legal Ltd:
We don't often give out specific advice in these articles. But gut choices don't always have to be without a solid foundation . So what indications are there that this firm is a better choice than others?
class="infoquote "Our sole area of practice is immigra...
Taylor Price Solicitors: Taylor Price has a group of lawyers who joined the profession in every one of the last four decades. (No, really. Similar looking domains designed to mislead you and other phishing scams are still rampant.
The Taylor Price site is https secure though so will be fine f...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Testimonials always look different from third party review site comments because they are typically a page of positive-only messages from people the firm have hand chosen.
Quite often when a firm merges with another they will either merge the names too or simply drop o...
Stowe Family Law: So you can't just go on Google, type the firm name, and see all reviews in this instance. Some people believe they will be 'lost in the pack' at a large firm, whilst others think the weight of a large firm behind them will increase their changes of a successful outcome. It's...
Stenfield Solicitors:
Unfortunately when no feedback is left it's hard to know if that person was even rating the correct firm.
This helps to distinguish between those law firms that claim ancient establishment dates of their brand, compared with those that have actual real experience...
Springle & Co Solicitors: Increasingly so. Springle and Company have a page on their site https: springleandco.co.uk our-fees " listing itemised fees< a>. An estate planner needs to know all the new laws and taxes coming out year on year. This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are al...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: But it actually contains two of the main things we think you should look at when picking a firm.
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...
Simper Law Ltd: The firm name is Simper Law Ltd and most branding follows that style.
class="infoquote "outstanding, kind and compassionate"
"I received frequent updates and quick responses to questions"
"got to the heart of the issue and were able to resolve it swiftly and...
The Search Bureau: Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. It probably doesn't occur to employees of a firm to jump on the web to write a review about a service their company uses.
class="infoquote "Using our powerful IT systems we are able to streamline the w...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors:
. In fact the review on Yelp wasn't even about the correct firm, but the link to it still popped up in the top search results when searching for reviews about them. However if you search for the latter along with typical variants such as 'rm lawyers', 'rm legal', etc. The ...
Richmond Legal Ltd: Typically firms will handle a wide range of case types, or they will specialise. Therefore any legal professional still willing to help clients apply and then work under those provisions will always get some respect from us . This is especially true for Personal Injury and...
Rose Fendlen Law: Most people that end up on our site have usually already scrolled through a dozen or so law firm sites before getting here. This is important because there are many websites on the internet designed to look like a law firm, but are actually a marketing firm or data gatheri...
Bell Lax Solicitors: Luckily (again) you can use the Law Society website to look up whether the solicitor you've been chatting to does actually focus on your type of case. But absolutely no solicitor should charge you any fees for running the case or if the case loses.
Despite this, there a...
Pump Court Chambers:
Always make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments or bank details via email. Words such as 'modern', 'leading', 'top', 'award-winning' and so on are thrown around as if they have no meaning. They also state:
class="infoquote "we have pr...
Penerley Lawyers:
Penerley do have slightly longer opening hours than some firms and we saw one website listing them as having a half day Saturday open too. Whilst people are very happy to talk about their local hairdresser online - they are not so eager to discuss their divorce, ban...
Pacific Law: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty year experienced lawyer that joined a new legal practice starting up in their area.
class="infoquote "Here at Pacific Law, we have embraced the modern wo...
OneLaw Chambers: It also provides the qualification dates and specialties of each legal professional within a firm. Fortunately, the legal industry itself has managed to bounce back with alternatives to keep the rusty wheels turning and allow those of us who aren't multi-million taking foo...
My Law Matters: A good place to get information on this is actually a firm's local law society. But the main thing people tend to look for when researching any firm is their online reviews. It's quite common for law firms to create separate trading names. More so than even the clothing indu...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: We therefore turn to the same places most consumers do which is the public review board such as https: www.google.com search?q=mjv+law+Thornton-Cleveleys&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsalxGo7bn__bt5tCtdwUowu1oS7AA%3A1663791418678&ei=OnErY_-GKaWShbIP6JWx0Ao&ved=0ah...
Milners Solicitors: But less people are inclined to rush to tell everyone about their horrible divorce, criminal trial, or bankruptcy proceedings.
class="infoquote "It’s been the same throughout Milners’ 120-year history of delivering the best legal advice."< div>
We're not a big fa...
Michael Leighton Jones:
If you flick through each of the staff at MLJ you'll see some focus on Personal Injury, others on Property Matters, and others on things like Family Law. This is very different to a firm that offers a wide range of case types handled, but ALL of their solicitors try to ...
Mckie Legal: We're not sure about the Wigan office the law society is still showing, but www.mckielegal.co.uk is the official website which we link to above with www.mckielegal.com not currently being owned by anyone and most of the variants (e.g. So make sure to read actual comments o...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock Solicitors was an unusual situation for us when it came to deciding on whether to add them to our network. Mason Bullock don't have a company-made testimonial section on their site either.
There were obviously a few niggles in our research. Mason Bullock a...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: more than two decades later we have offices in Menai Bridge on Anglesey, St Asaph Business Park and Chester city centre with a vibrant team of twenty-three."< div>
The staff roster shows a range of experience with legal professionals from each decade over the past 40+ ...
Lefevres Law: There is another website at www.lefevre-litigation.co.uk which seems to be an individual site for their Aberdeen office. well, we think so anyway. It may sound like a lot, but bear in mind that a good lawyer taking 25% of a £5000 win is better than an inexperienced lawyer ta...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: So how can you tell 'good low-cost help' from simply 'cheap help'?
class="infoquote "I have vast, hands-on experience dealing with a variety of Wills, Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection work."< div>
Most Will and Probate company websites wi...
Khan Law: Some firms may take a cut of your compensation if you win. But we have seen many firms calling themselves specialists simply because they don't handle absolutely everything. However we believe that should never be a dealbreaker.
class="infoquote "Our Personal Injury ...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: Unfortunately, though, when it comes to law firms you will often find they don't receive as many reviews as other service providers.
class="infoquote "I would just like to thank you for all your efforts in getting my claim settled."
"I am really satisfied with the...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: www.jacobs-law.co.uk (for Jacobs & Co Solicitors) shows up high in the search results and has a similar domain. There are no 200-year-old solicitors sitting behind desks at these anciently established firms imparting guru knowledge to the rest of the staff. That's because "e...
HooperHyde: Certainly the language across the rest of the company's website also focuses on that mentality of long-term business relationships. Hooper Hyde state each lawyer has at least 10 years' experience. The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen...
Hill House Chambers:
One of the bigget moves was when the goverment started to allow Direct Access to barristers. At the moment of writing www.hillhousechambers.com wasn't owned by anyone and other variants such as hillhousebarristers were also available. As Hill House Chambers puts it:

Hawkridge & Company: Frankly many issues are totally outside your solicitor's control such as land searches, mortgage applications and so on. No unsubstantiated claims, just clear examples of their status showing good immersion in the industry as a whole. Because we spotted a few negative commen...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Even though it wasn't the law firm's decision to pull out of the deal. Despite not being overly 'nationalised' about most things, this is something we do feel a little frustrated at. For example, if a solicitor has a client who pulls out of a deal last minute, the person th...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: But when you start reading through more resources and even just the pages on their site - they really do come across as an unusually encouraging firm when it comes to their staff. qualified as a Solicitor in 2020"< div>
That's the two ends of the experience bookshelf ...
Fair Result Ltd: We did ask around our own office if anyone might want to get a divorce in order to test out this firm's claims.
A quick note on navigation. In other words if you want a fight and to make each other suffer as much as possible on the way out of a marraige - they can't...
Education Law Service Ltd: It was still very positive :

One lesser known area of litigation is Special Education Needs work (SEN). and in phone contact throughout"< div>

Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: It may be a sad side-effect of the Facebook Instagram age we live in but many people do make decisions about whether to use a solicitor or not much easier if there is a photo. So whilst someone might be very quick to jump online and talk about a pizza they just ordered - th...
DV Solicitors: If you've used our site before or read through any of our articles, you may have noticed that we're not a regular directory just cramming in every high street firm.
People have https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-h...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: To fix those missing floor boards. If a firm is regulated properly then they will state so along with their number on their website.
class="infoquote "Our highly experienced Housing Disrepair panel of solicitors can bring forward a claim against your landlord to ensure...
David Stinson & Co: The official name is David Stinson & Co but variant searches such as "david stinson solicitors" or "david stinsons kent" all brought up the correct firm. The official website is at www.davidstinson.co.uk, and at the moment www.davidstinson.com is a different firm. This is ca...
Cooks Solicitors:
Of course, the first point of call for most people are the prior customer reviews when they are checking out any service provider. She has a friendly and sympathetic approach.
class="infoquote "We are a strong believer in explaining things simply and fighting for...
CEL Solicitors: The article we wrote yesterday was about a firm that had a negative review because the person felt the firm's office was a little 'hard to find'. It may seem a pedantic thing to do, but we're quite fed up of how much companies in the UK get away with when it comes to advert...
Catteralls Solicitors: We did see the name 'Catterall Pell & Moxon' popping up, a branding that no longer operates. If you look up reviews for Catteralls though on the third party sites, they also reflect the same very positive sentiments :
class="infoquote "Efficient, professional and empa...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: Whilst most of our articles are about individual firms along with the pros cons and things that stood out, today's piece on Burton & Co LLP will have to cover some new ground.
One of the best resources for finding out the specialties and experience of the individual sol...
Brown and Co Solicitors:
If a firm states they have a certain number of years' experience 'within the firm' this usually means they've added up all staff's experience together to make the number bigger. It's clear someone didn't do that because one of the law firm's reviews states 5 stars and:...
Bridge McFarland LLP: Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site.
class="infoquote "Our solicitors are ...
class="infoquote "The firm ... Photos of people in suits smiling and shak...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: Being the names of founder partners, the name is quite unique despite 'branch' being a generic term related to people searching for office locations. So how can you tell if a firm has specialist or jack-of-all solicitors?
class="infoquote "Our team has extensive exp...
BLZ Solicitors: So to specialise in them most likely means they have a specialist knowledge they want to use or that they have a personal relationship with the process. On https: blzsolicitors.co.uk meet-the-team " the BLZ staff page< a> it initially looks as though they are doing the ...
Bilkus & Boyle: Another line on their site that probably sticks out to us more than to regular consumers would be:
class="infoquote "Our firm provides Legal Aid for a number of services."< div>
Since the cuts and changes to Legal Aid over the past couple of decades, the number of...
Beers LLP: That is not the case. Very positive with many of them quoting and praising the staff member involved by name. The only negative comment we saw was a complaint about a solicitor called 'Monty'. A lot of comments about friendliness and speed. It's true the majority of firms ...
Argue & Co Legal: And even a one star rating for a firm having moved offices to a place where the person had to pay for street parking instead of it being free. On one hand they imagine a larger firm will have larger resources to draw on and bigger 'clout' against third parties . Despite the...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: Something you'd want in any company really. Those are the obvious targets for fraud. There are several others within that range creating a good mix of seasoned experts partnered with fresh legs. Antony Hodari's claims in the snippet above were taken from their front page a...
ABS Lawyers Ltd: That means they've added up the experience years of everyone within the firm. Sometimes based on just a couple of official looking emails telling them to suddenly switch to paying their huge house deposit into a completely different bank account. There should therefore be n...
Two Harcourt Buildings:
However before we get into that, we should probably share the opening line of this particular chambers' website.
