Youngs Solicitors: Each branding has it's own local office and website too. This is something we've covered before in our articles and is one of the main reasons we urge people to read through the actual comments rather than simply check average star ratings. The whole firm and all staff can f...
Woodstock Legal Services: But please read on and see if you would agree. It's not as if any firm is going to claim the opposite - i.e. class="infoquote "Our lawyers are highly skilled specialists in their areas. Commentaries from other businesses willing to stamp their approval have more wei...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: We've always been a fan of case studies but we've been working in the industry for over 20 years now. Some firms post testimonials on their sites, but according to our poll last year only 8% of you trust company provided testimonials. We are a firm that puts people firs...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: "Estate Planning" firms on the other hand do much more. Unfortunately the temptation to utilise marketing language on any company's site always seems to be too much for them to pass up. With Wills & Probate though, this idea of specialism goes an extra step further. Cer...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: There is a firm called 'trojan law ltd' also based in London, however we saw no apparent website for them to confuse matters. For example, they claim to be "award-winning" on their front page but there was no real clarity about what those awards are. class="infoquote "...

Taylor Price Solicitors: that handles nothing by those case types in the hope this gives them the best chance (i.e. Obviously we can't possibly try out the legal services of each firm we cover, but there are plenty of public review and rating forums out there already. The emails may contain a link t...

Stenfield Solicitors: However you will need to enter one of the office locations such as 'norwich' or 'london' to get the popup box with all the specific reviews, opening hours, etc. Not to mention that Trustpilot's rating calculations mean that a firm with four 5 star reviews will end up with ...

The Search Bureau: With just a few fake emails the scammers can seem to convince home owners to hand over tens of thousands of pounds to a completely different bank account. Whilst most general consumers will use a service and then happily go online to inform others about their positive or n...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors:
In the same way that a Family Law specialist will handle divorce, child custody, and more; most cases involving claims against a third party for compensation (i.e. So if a legal service provider has few or even zero reviews, don't take it as a negative sign . Whilst ma...
Richmond Legal Ltd: It's pretty bleak though and only getting worse. It's also become more of a pain to organise.

Rose Fendlen Law: https: www.lawsociety.org.uk public for-public-visitors common-legal-issues payment-diversion-fraud" Payment diversion fraud< a> where scammers convince clients they are the law firm with new bank details to pay into has been a growing problem for well over a decade.

Pump Court Chambers: you'll see that many of the reviews are about specific individuals rather than a whole firm. We trawl through dozens of law firm's websites every day. That should make communication far easier , clearer, and provide a more personalised experience throughout the case. The of...
Penerley Lawyers: Never discuss bank details via email with anyone. Whilst people are very happy to talk about their local hairdresser online - they are not so eager to discuss their divorce, bankruptcy or probate litigation. There were all positive , but none of the reviews had left any u...

Milners Solicitors: People are very quick to jump online and praise complain about a restaurant they've just been to. But it is fair to use it that way as long as the lawyers working within the firm are focused on their own niche areas of law - i.e. Now, through Milners, you can get your hands ...
Michael Leighton Jones: The most common being Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Facebook, Yelp, etc. However it would still be fair to call this firm a group of 'specialists' as well. That's a bigger deal than you might think. This is very different to a firm that offers a wide range of case types h...

Lefevres Law: For example Lefevres list Medical Negligence, Employment Disputes, Product Liability, Slips Trips, and more in their drop down Legal Services menu. But it certainly sounds impressive and from such a reputable, reliable source it's probably safe to assume it is so.

Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: No, really. The worst comment in our opinion though, was a 3 star review for the company because the client believed the firm's offices were Hard to find" . But if a firm states 'we have thirty years of combined experience within the firm' - that could mean ten members of s...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: Alternative Dispute Resolution or Mediation companies can be fantastic too for hopefully taking the inherent confrontational aggressiveness out of a Divorce matter. Unlike tech companies , food outlets, streaming services, or practically any company these days where the new...

David Stinson & Co: However for smaller more simple cases such as a two week whiplash injury as a passenger in a car accident - we would not expect the lawyer to take any part of your compensation. That should mean a considerable amount of experience to draw on. But you never know what scammers...
Cooks Solicitors: As in the previous article, Cooks Solicitors are also a trading name of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd .

CEL Solicitors: We know firms that don't have a website or won't accept email communications, and the amount of printing and letter posting is simply absurd in this day and age. The legal industry struggles badly with catching up with the times. We use technology to be as green as possible"...
Catteralls Solicitors: Potential clients tend to rely more on the independent public offerings such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yell, Yelp etc. A last word from Catterall's own site:

Bridge McFarland LLP: The other two mean they've simply added up the years of all the staff (e.g. One thing to remember though is that when a firm has multiple offices you often have to type in the company name and location to see any reviews.
This is hugely important because the firm dea...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: The legal industry seems to be treated quite differently to others. What we don't like is when solicitors go too far and start listing their favourite foods and pet's names. So giving the impression they are well established and experienced is their last gambit for impress...
BLZ Solicitors: Not spending hours re-writing their website content. So never underestimate the value of free consultation statements on a solicitor's site. Here's a few of the things we noticed and hopefully some things you might be able to use as a bar to measure between others in the f...
Bilkus & Boyle: However the whole ancient-history-boasting across the legal industry is really just a marketing ploy to make a firm seem as though it has a huge amount of experience which it may not. The Law Society of Scotland on the other hand is not nearly so forthcoming with such detail...
Bell Lax Solicitors: The majority of them were very positive with helpful insights into what parts of the service they felt Bell Lax staff excelled at. This can be very confusing, but 9 times out of 10 the firm is well within it's rights to use the word. Then the third is simply them adding u...
