White Collar Legal: Typical Rate: £44 per hour, inc VAT."< div> It's written in large print, right at the top of the main page. class="infoquote "Philip also attends Court representing both Claimants and Defendants on average 53 times a year."< div> This is another standout s...
The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: You never know what these scammers are going to think of next though so just make sure to pay attention to the email addresses you send receive from and never discuss banking details over email. The case was a success." "would always answer calls nomatter how many times...
Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: No matter what firm you're researching though, we always recommend reading comments rather than relying on general star ratings. There are also links to each staff member to see their own individual case focus, qualification dates, and roles within the firm. Sadly in the leg...
Thompsons Solicitors Scotland: There is a www.thompsons-solicitors.co.uk website but it is the home of a non-affiliated firm in NI. The solicitor will often judge 'mental anguish' of their client without any training to do so. Thompsons Scotland was only set up as recently as 1979 in Glenfinlas Street, Ed...
The Johnson Partnership: However, with some firms the solicitor you choose will not always be the person that represents you in court should the matter go to trial. It's not just Google though. This time we spent hours flicking through stuff as usual, but everyone working on this research c...
Taborns Legal Business: For example, this could be a requirement for a specialist member of the UK Bar (Barrister), premium investigatory services, litigation funding or eDiscovery."< div> However the gist of it is probably exactly how the name makes it sound. We either try to provide those b...
Serious Law LLP: Typically if the firm's website does not have 'Serious Catastrophic Injuries' as a specific case title on the front page of their website along with at least one full page about their abilities and experience in that area - we would suggest moving on to the next firm. We man...
SBW Law Ltd: The official firm name of SBW Law Ltd is quite unique so even commonly expected variants such as 'sbw solicitors' or 'sbw legal' brought the correct firm up in the search results for us. But there are some statements which may say more than you think. It doesn't mean non-l...
RSR Law Ltd: Hopefully you'll now see why we thought this firm would be a good addition to the 1to1Legal network - e.g. Accident Book. If we believe there is a strong possibility of success we will offer No Win No Fee ... Timescale. All will be explained prior to entering into an...
Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Originally you would have to hire a solicitor and spend time and money informing them of your case. class="infoquote "Robin is a direct access barrister, mediator, investigator and arbitrator who has been involved in over 1,000 cases spanning more than 19 years"< div> ...
Reid Black Solicitors: We've also seen many people searching for 'reid and black solicitors' or 'reid black & co solicitors'. We only started reviewing and writing about law firms in Northern Ireland about half a dozen years ago. So by showing reviews from a third party site and linking to that si...
Redwood Collections Ltd: Some are set up to send threatening letters and do some doorstep visits. So if you do see negative reviews of any debt collection company - pay attention to whether they just happen to be the person that ended up having to pay the debt - i.e. I say oddly because quite often...
RD Costings: The compensation settlements are also not purely based on lost wages or an individual injury such as you'd get with a whiplash claim after a car accident. class="infoquote "RD Costings ... For example most people will want a specialist for Criminal Defence or Mot...
Penn Chambers Solicitors: However, if you see 'established in 1883' that doesn't mean there is an 150-year-old solicitor sat behind the desk running things. The fact Penn Chambers offer this is therefore a good sign of their interest in ensuring clients' peace of mind, feeling of involvement, and...
OJ Solicitors Ltd: A one-year-old firm might have twenty-year-experienced solicitors on staff and a twenty-year-old firm might stick you with a one-year-experienced solicitor. This is something we've said repeatedly elsewhere. The most common tld variants of www.oj-solicitors.com and www.ojsol...
NV Legal Ltd: Your claim will NOT [sic] be handled by a non-qualified, unskilled person or paralegal ..."< div> This is another statement to keep an eye out for and something which often pops up in negative reviews of firms. Hence, why we have already included them on our network. ...
Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: The firm's official website that we've linked to above is www.sr-law.co.uk with www.sr-law.com being owned by a different company.
This idea that the firm isn't consumed by fees and time-monitoring is also reflected in their website where you'll find https: www.sr-la...
Murray Hay Solicitors: To finish it off, we spotted this statement:
"The firm is made up of both male and female staff of varying ages,religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds. Luckily, the website is the firm's name, the name is simple, and it's a regular tld with the .co.uk - however the w...
MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: It happens to firms all the time where a cold-caller states they are from a certain company in order to seem genuine if the person wants to quickly look them up. However, you may be asked to sign a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) which allows the solicitor to take a cut of...
MGBe Legal: This is reflected on the firm's website where the blog section contains actual help articles. If someone is not quite experienced enough for your personal injury claim, you might be a few hundred pounds less-better-off in your compensation settlement. With generic terms in t...
Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors: I certainly was not prepared for the levels of false information and types of deception I encountered. As you can tell from the links, this is information we spotted on some third party websites that specialise in locating such discounts. At the moment, many law firms are st...
McEwan Fraser Legal: Whilst MFL are mentioned in the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 6448 mcewan-fraser-legal" England & Wales database< a>, they are not actually based down there so full information is sadly not provided. The official site is www.mcewanfraserlegal.co...
Alexander JLO Solicitors: This is always a useful tool to see what real resources are available at most law firms in the UK. If you read the actual comments alongside ratings, you'll be surprised at how many "they only had tea and I drink coffee!" type of negative reviews exist.
The site does ha...
Linkilaw Solicitors: Granted it's definitely taken alot more time than in other industries. Many people can also get it entirely wrong. A few new types of business law firm have started emerging to fill this perceived "gap". However typically scammers https: www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk main-ne...
Levins Solicitors: Certainly we've had similar problems and it took six months to get a response out of Google. The official website of the firm is www.levinslaw.co.uk as linked to above. They provide a huge amount of data user-side for consumers and businesses. But the solicitor will always g...
Leech & Co: There are some error addresses that the firm own and which redirect you to the correct site such as www.leechsolicitors.co.uk but definitely don't rely on this . However, as I said, we had not seen them mentioned openly on any other solicitor's website before now.
cla...
Lawcomm Solicitors: Usually when we write an article on a firm that handles conveyancing, people are often confused to see us promoting and praising a firm that may have hundreds of complaining reviews. If you needed to speak to someone in particular and they were busy you always got a call bac...
Kudos Legal Ltd: However, during our 20+ years working with law firms we've come across all sorts of dubious versions of this. We would hope that the firm's ethos carries across the company as a whole though:
class="infoquote "Our commitment to our clients is what truly sets us apart f...
Kings View Chambers: As an experienced barrister you can be confident your case will be presented professionally."< div>
The firm's website does have a news section with actual news in it (rather than simply lots of extra sales pitch-y pages) For example, Stephen has been https: www.step...
Kings Court Trust Ltd: Usually late at night on their tablet. This apparently lets you check the progress of your case at any time through a password protected admin area. But they also highlight their online case tracking service - Insight. The Guardian newspaper lists KTC as one of their https:...
Joanna Connolly Solicitors: They also deal with setting aside statutory demands over consumer credit agreements where goods and services have been purchased using credit.
On top of that, they offer advice and services relating to Will Disputes, Inheritance Act Claims, Personal Insolvency, Employme...
Jarmans Solicitors Ltd: Either way, it reflects well on their general setup.
class="infoquote "We have the strength and breadth of service and expertise of the large London and Kent firms but provide exceptional service at better value. When we first started reviewing law firms 20+ years ago,...
IWC Probate & Will Services: It's certainly very common for law firms to create different brands for promoting different case types or locations. So, do we have any negative points to raise? Well, they could use a really good search function for the help articles rather than just the drop down category...
Ian Mallon Solicitors: Unfortunately today https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 591362 ian-mallon-solicitors" the page for this firm< a> on The English Welsh Law Society's website wasn't working properly.
So right off the bat it's obvious that we already have a high opinion of Ian M...
R James Hutcheon Solicitors: Clear communication and speedy work seem to be the most talked about.
If you've read any of our other review articles, you'll know that any firm we add to the 1to1Legal network has something about it we like that made them stand out. They all have the same address, an...
Howe + Co Solicitors: Let alone the actual people trying to get in. One of our staff worked in immigration (Liverpool) for about a year and confirms it can be a very emotionally strenous environment, and that's just for the workers. They have over 100 staff, cover a wide range of legal matters, a...
HJA Solicitors:
On their website you'll find a full list of staff with photos, basic histories and specialities for each. Whilst most online scams relating to solicitors tend to revolve around property sales, you never know what people are going to come up with next. Please note th...
Helix Law Ltd: Why is that of note? Because any effort to provide free information to people is a good indication of a firm's general mindset. Or they may actually copy paste positive comments made on other forums such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com or Yelp. So yes, the fact Helix Law...
Hampson Hughes Solicitors: But there really are issues that need to be dealt with by mental health professionals. (Pause to raise an eyebrow.) We didn't see any of such fishy goings-on for Hampson Hughes though.
Do Hampson Hughes Solicitors do well in this area? Their own website testimonials...
GloverPriest Solicitors: The official site is www.gloverpriest.com and not even the normal www.gloverpriest.co.uk variant redirects people to it. This may be reserved for house purchases sales only though. However we did spot:
class="infoquote "We give you peace of mind through a free 30 minut...
Frank Rogers Law Ltd: Unfortunately most companies, not just in the legal industry, use the Blog section to create a dozen extra sales pitches disguised as news or thin information.
class="infoquote "Having the right support and representation at the earliest opportunity can significantly i...
Fieldfisher LLP: However, there was a weird selection of negative comments spanning a one month period on one of the independent review sites.
Normally when a firm gets that big, they move into practically every area of law and push out smaller clients in favour of big corporate clien...
Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors: Much more than your typical law firm. Therefore, if a firm is strongly pushing clients towards their social media profiles on the actual website - we can only wonder why.
Their case range is just as wide, with help offered in Conveyancing, Right to Buy, Remortgaging, P...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors: So sure enough, we sought out a specialist to start recommending to people. But not Mr Loophole.
class="infoquote "We are without doubt, the country's leading motoring lawyers."< div>
Martin Hammond and Philip Trotter qualified as solicitors back in 2005 and 1999 ...
Driscoll Kingston: For example when we see that their website states 'established in 2011' but every company check website says they started in 2018 - we want to know why. But the fact it's not simply a pile of extra sales pitches disguised as articles - speaks volumes. Things you probably d...
DFA Law LLP: If you've been through quite a few solicitor's websites already you'll have noticed that their Blog News section is usually just half a dozen extra sales-pitch articles. Our experienced lawyers have the knowledge and expertise that can help you."< div>.
A last word from...
Davey Law: But until I actually sat down to write about Davey Law, it didn't hit me that we had just secured the services of a stereotypical solicitor's practice. Any company that can't offer something special, is believed to be risking failure. Why did I feel like mentioning that numb...
CSL Law Ltd: But even then it was one of those "Eh?" negative reviews where the complainant gave the firm a 1☆ because they don't handle her case type. If we see a lot of people using our internal search to seek a review article on a particular firm - we write one.
Yet despite...
CFG Law: Obviously we've linked to the main site www.cfglaw.co.uk but www.cfglaw.com goes no-where, which usually ends up with people trying their luck with other names. Again, bias may come into play but I've been injured twice by negligence in the NHS and once had to grab the hand ...
Briffa Legal Ltd: He speaks fluent German and French and still works in the music industry on the side.
There are many solicitors out there that deal with Intellectual Property having studied law at University. Do you?) Briffa's staff profiles are actually quite revealing as to why the f...
Balfour+Manson LLP: Insurance companies, supermarkets, even plumbers can just overhaul their company and websites to be modern with modern language. They have clickable phone numbers for mobiles and an adaptable site to display on desktops, tablets, or mobile devices. The whole site looks prof...
AWH Solicitors: www.awhsolicitors.com does not redirect to it though and www.awhlegal.co.uk is just an information site about the company background. Whilst most scammers tend to target conveyancing firms, you never know what's around the corner..
When researching this firm yourself ar...
Avery Walters Solicitors: The Harrogate office has it's own website at www.powell-eddison.co.uk, most of the variants such as www.powelleddison.co.uk don't redirect you so the same bookmarking advice there. Just something to be mindful of when choosing a firm. In our last article we unfortunately had...
Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd: They are something different and sharing some of our near-twenty-years-worth of experiences with accidents and legal cases has hopefully provided you with more useful information than if we'd simply shared the firm's history. No bake sales for charity covered in the local ne...
APS Legal & Associates: But still pay attention to the links you click and remember that email addresses can be faked quite easily. There are hundreds of will writing service providers advertising on the web that have never even attended a course, much less attached themselves to even a self-regula...
Apprise Legal Services: Quite often we've seen reviews about a firm that have clearly been put under the wrong company and even one star reviews with very positive comments (meaning someone has made a clicking error). Therefore it's perfectly understandable that the number of firms that specialise ...
Allsop Durn Solicitors: A good mix of 'wiser heads' whilst still having some fresh blood in the mix.
A quick note on navigation. However this is something you can often check yourself with independent sources . You'd think this would be common practice but out of the last dozen or so sites w...
Aina Khan Law Ltd:
class="infoquote "It is amazing that you were able to advise on my complex Surrogacy case while I was working abroad"
"My husband thought he could dismiss me with nothing after our divorce. 35+ countries covered."< div>
Another thing we see alot is firms stat...
Aconveyancing Ltd: They also handle Remortgages, Transfer of Equity, Lease Extensions, Equity Releases and Landlord Tenant matters. Search for articles on using budget firms to hear of such situations and see if they might fit with your expectations. Especially in England and Wales where thing...
The Injury Solicitor Ltd: But we also add firms that are large, small, niche, general practice, or just an alternative resource such as Direct Access barristers or Mediation Providers. There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting wisdom to the rest of the staff.
The Law Society...
5 Essex Court: However it's not uncommon for random adverts to appear under this or related keywords.
class="infoquote "One phrase crops up repeatedly when describing the work at civil law chambers 5 Essex Court ― 'high-profile'."< div>
That's the opener of a review by ht...
33Legal Ltd: The maximum a solicitor should take though is 25% of your compensation to help cover costs as not all case types result in the solicitors fees being covered by the third party. But we've also been in the legal industry for over 20 years now and some firms can get way too inv...
