Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Direct Access is something barristers have to apply for and be qualified to offer. Therefore if they don't use it, they won't state it on their site.

Don't...

Pacific Law: There is no 200 year old solicitor imparting guru-style advice at the long-established brand. However, to state 'pay no attention to this reviewer, they are just a sore loser' has never felt like something they could pull off and look good doing. Versus the other side procl...

Linkilaw Solicitors:
You never know where the next scam might come from though so pay attention to the web address you are on and be aware that it's very easy to fake the "Sender:" box of an email. Sadly there is a large chunk of business owners who will whole heartedly accept what a YouT...
Lindsays Solicitors: Lindsays deal with many cross border issues so have to deal with English law when it comes to things such as property sales. But one thing that impressed us about Lindsays is the same sort of lack-of-boasting as we saw with their testimonials page before. New blood with a ...
Levins Solicitors: We always recommend to never judge a general practice firm by it's conveyancing reviews though. The experience of the staff is the most important thing and we'll cover that later. But the solicitor will always get the blame. Most reviews are about their Criminal Law help and...

The majority...
Hawkridge & Company: So what should you look out for?
One thing that often bugs us is when a firm says they are 'award-winning'.
One thing people do comment on readily though when it comes to legal services - is property matters. However for this you are usually able to check this i...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Despite not being overly 'nationalised' about most things, this is something we do feel a little frustrated at.

Fair Result Ltd: When we searched for 'fair result', 'fair result divorce' and 'fair result leicester' we got back mostly news stories about random high profile celebrity divorce cases. FairResult state that if you do decide to go ahead at that point a fixed fee will be agreed upon. Not eve...
Education Law Service Ltd: That's still much better of course than charging you full price just for an introductory discussion about whether they can even help you.
class="infoquote "We offer a free thirty minutes remote virtual consultation"< div>
A nice respectable middle offering that ...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: We obviously read through dozens of law firm's websites every day and the similarties between the content and the claims each make to set themselves apart as 'unique' can often end up blurring for us. Unfortunately such terms are actually unhelpful because no firm is going t...
DV Solicitors: The official website we link to above is www.dvsolicitors.com and at the time of writing www.dvsolicitors.co.uk also redirects you there. You may get a forty year experienced solicitor from a law firm brand that started up yesterday.

DisrepairClaim.co.uk: The second means that there are no fees to pay whether you win OR lose. There are firms and even individual solicitors that cover a wide range of case types, sort of 'jack-of-all-trades' solicitors. If you see that sort of post alongside no stated company name, no logo, no w...
DFA Law LLP:
A last word from the DFA Law website which hopefully now sounds little more sincere after having checked through the extra bits and pieces above. So be careful, and we even recommend never giving bank details to someone that rings you. If you've been through quite a few...
David Stinson & Co: This can often be misleading because if the firm has 5 solicitors with just 4 years experience - that equals a total of 20 years. 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 tak...
Cooks Solicitors: People to scammers simply because they received an email pretending to be their solicitor to say the payment details had changed. You can get a 1-year newbie ...
CEL Solicitors: For all we knew, by claiming to be 'featured' in these publications the firm could simply have purchased ad space in all of them.
If you've read any of our other articles about law firms in the UK, you may have noticed that we consistently try to hammer home that peopl...
Catteralls Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.catteralls.co.uk but note that www.catteralls.com does not redirect you there. Catteralls are signed up with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have a fantastic website full of consumer information on fi...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: As mentioned before, such a huge range of seasoned professionals mixed with fresh legs and ideas has not been seen by us in over twenty years of working with law firms.

BLZ Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation.
One thing we have frequently quoted as a dislike on law firm's websites is the new wave of them sharing likes, dislikes, hobbies and favourite colours. One tip though is to make sure the free consultation is with a qualified professional...
Bilkus & Boyle: So where else can you search?
class="infoquote "... 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. By that we mean they handle conve...
Beers LLP: The only negative comment we saw was a complaint about a solicitor called 'Monty'. A lot of comments about friendliness and speed. Obviously alternatives such as www.beers.com or .co.uk bring up beverage related websites and none of the beerllp variants were owned by anyone....

APS Legal & Associates:
The main website is www.aps-legal.com and www.aps-legal.co.uk will redirect you there. So how as a front end website browsing consumer can you tell which claims are potentially true?
If the will writing service you're looking at is run by or at least backed by a ...

Aconveyancing Ltd: The idea of course being that people will assume a 200-year-established firm will do a better job than a 2-year one.
