What Firms do we Recommend?

We've written dozens of full-length, in-depth, and un-bias review articles on various UK law firms covering a wide range of case types and locations. They are all hosted on our main website where you will also find a solicitor search function to find someone local to help.

Please check out the new US Law Firm Reviews section on our sister site.


All Law Ltd: So it might be an idea to bookmark the site if you plan on coming back. The firm has some testimonials included on their website. class="infoquote "Our Client's are our number one priority."< div> The most common check people do when researching a service prov...


WYM Legal Ltd: That's because conveyancing is one of the services where people are usually upset about something. Either the length of time taken, delays that no-one will take the blame for, extra reports being ordered, and more. You can usually check this using websites such as The Law So...


Woodstock Legal Services: Make sure to actually read the comments though and not just flick through star ratings. Whilst there is a definite 'perfect professional' curve between experience and age, the fact this firm has qualified people from across the last five decades is clearly a good sign...


Wolf Law Solicitors: This is usually as a percentage of any compensation recovered. Sometimes just because an official-looking email came through saying to quickly change the bank details the deposit goes into. So the information doesn't actually help you separate this firm from the thousands of...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: This is very different from firms that claim ancient heritages such as 'established in 1881'. This one from the Wilford Smith site is very clear , indicating that they have been serving clients for over 40 years. Because you could get a 1-year newbie solicitor from ...


Wildcat Law Ltd: But a quick note on navigation. So such statements don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. They have a very useful user side offering of data regarding a firm's contact details, staff, languages spoken, and areas of law covered. Also note that if you are sea...


WH Solicitors: That is not always an incorrect use of the word. It's a far better provided resource than its counterparts in other parts of the UK, unfortunately. Just remember to read all comments and not rely on average star ratings. Sometimes based on nothing more than a single official...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: For example, for Waterstone they list solicitors Rayhan Ahmed who qualified in 2009, Akeel Hussain (2015), and others right up to Akaash Hussain who joined the profession in 2021. Keep safe. . For example if you see any firm stating 'established in 1881' or any other such a...


Walker Foster Solicitors: The Law Society of England & Wales has an amazing site rivalling anything their counterpart organisations currently offer. That's probably more to do with how clever marketing has become rather than our kids being more gullible. They also have example prices publicly dis...


UVS Law: It's often easy to check if a law firm or lawyer is valid in the UK by checking with the SRA and https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 32565 uvs-law-limited?Solicitors=True" Law Society< a> websites. However this can only be true if they have indi...


TWB Probate Solicitors: This is a group of advisors that have consultants on staff. The Law Society of England & Wales however has a wonderful site with a wealth of information on every firm registered including languages spoken, contact details, staff, links to regulatory associations, as...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our Solicitors offer personalised and caring legal services for individuals."< div> Most firms will make a claim about happy clients. Abdul Khan who qualified in 1999, and Rashminder Sarai in 1997. But let's take two extremes to highlight this...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: Here are some snippets: class="infoquote "The whole process was handled professionally, but at the same time in a friendly manner." "Alun and his team went out of their way" "They are professional."< div> However in a poll we ran a few years back only 8% of ...


Stephanie Heijdra: We did find Stephanie provided help opinions for various news articles about her area of law including to https: www.express.co.uk news politics 1380364 Brexit-2021-timeline-important-milestones-EU-latest-news-EVG" The Express< a> and on a https: eachother.org.uk marria...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: But gut choices don't always have to be without a solid foundation . We even have a list of the most 'problematic' firms based on the complaints databases. But we think it's even more important for Immigration because the laws involved are constantly changing and can ofte...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years so have met plenty on the way. class="infoquote "We have a team of highly experienced lawyers who have all either, worked for leading law firms, or held senior positions in law firms."< div> But a good...


Sternberg Reed LLP: class="infoquote "Our aim is to provide exceptional customer service, tailored to the needs of our clients."< div> The staff roster shows a wide range of seasoned heads (hopefully with plenty of fresh legs to keep things moving). Finding a product you want onlin...


Solidaire Solicitors: Also none of the variants we tried such as solidairelaw.co.uk or solidairesolicitors.co.uk were owned by the firm. If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 33660 solidaire-law-limited?Solicitors=True" the page for Solidaire< a> you'l...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: 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 areas, and staff qualification dates. But the main thing we want to cover in this piece relates to...


PCS Legal Ltd: So it might be an idea to bookmark the site just in case. Which is why we absolutely recommend reading through the comments themselves rather than relying on star ratings when it comes to legal services. Because property matters have been targeted by scammers more and more...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: A selection of seasoned minds with hopefully some fresh eyes mixed in? class="infoquote "kept fully informed at all times" "Very professional and to the point" "very professional and positive experience" "excellent service, communication and great results"< div>...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: It obviously does not mean there is a 200 year old solicitor at the firm jam-packed with experience . Here you can get clear answers about the experience levels of a firm AND their specialist case types. People make mistakes and can simply be idiots. For example, this snipp...


SG Murphy Solicitors: a results focused legal firm with clients across Northern Ireland."< div> Since all law firms seem to use language such as 'friendly', 'modern', or 'experienced' in their websites it sort of devalues the claim. So how do you tell them apart? Sadly, since the g...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Vincent and his father, Alan."< div> There are other mentions about the 'family run business' aspect of the firm too. The question of course is whether this can result in a firm being better when it comes to handling clients and cases or if it has no effect at ...


McCarthy + Co LLP: For example if you type 'mccarthy and co in clonakilty' you will see data for that office. Ampersands and plus signs cannot be in web addresses. McCarthy's site does state some of the awards won including a few from the Irish Law Awards. If they have won an award for 'bes...


Mark Croft Solicitor: Todays article will focus on the motor offence solicitor Mark Croft as there are some interesting things to point out regarding his services and website which can help when trying to find a way to distinguish one firm from another. But it does have necessary and useful inf...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: The Law Society of England & Wales is a site we've long praised for it's bountiful information and simple layout. If you check the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 455061 mackenzie-jones-solicitors-limited" pages on this firm< a> you'll be shown ...


Lyons Solicitors: The most common complaint we hear is that they all look the same. This is quite true though. That may sound like wasting time, but we've been doing this for over twenty years now and can tell you it is highly common to see people reviewing the wrong firm or complaining abou...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: For example managing director Liliya Scott qualified in 2007, Jasmin Bugg in 2018, Lubov Galyarnyk in 2006, right up to Olena Lux who joined the ranks of lawyers in 2022. All linked together in an easy to use database. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 5922...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: However our poll two years ago showed that there is very low trust for reviews provided by the company themselves. To clarify, you could think of the QS branding as more of a 'stamp of approval'? Any firm wishing to be part of the QS network must adhere to certain setups an...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: Their front page was a little more cluttered than we'd usually find on solicitors' websites. But that made some of the drop down menus and site text a little harder to single out and use. Certainly we've seen hundreds of legal professional sites with 'make a free enq...


Horsley Law: That's more important than you might think as not all websites that take your details for a legal case are actual solicitors. So checking for an SRA number is a good idea before filling in a contact form. class="infoquote "For a free and confidential discussion abou...


Hill House Chambers: Prior to access being available you had to pay a solicitor to hire a barrister to deal with certain court matters. The Law Society of England & Wales provides this information on all solicitors which is great. That's still very useful information though and something peopl...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: Some charge a fee for this service. In these days of options and everyone wanting things instantly on their own schedule - it may seem odd to hear that many law firms have not changed their opening hours at all. It's odd to imagine opening hours being a selling point, but wh...


HCR Legal LLP: Every firm will put amazing sounding sales-pitches on their websites: class="infoquote "Our passion for people is at the heart of everything we do ... HCR Legal LLP is the latter. The main website is www.hcrlaw.com however there are others like the medical accident gr...


Harrison's Solicitors: So what can you do to know the difference between one firm that says they are the 'leading firm' for their service versus the other 100 firms all saying they are the 'leading firm' as well? class="infoquote "Harrison's Solicitors will provide you with a professional...


Guardian Law: That shouldn't cause too much confusion . So what other resources are there? class="infoquote "Experienced employment law solicitors with empathy and loyalty for employers."< div> If you've been through a few other legal company websites today you'll probably h...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: However we see such claims as basic marketing ploys. class="infoquote "Specialists at Commercial Debt Recovery and Litigation"< div> We often get asked whether a smaller specialist firm is better than a large general practice firm. One thing to remember is...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: Big thumbs up. The main one is www.girlings.com which covers Family Law, Wills, Property, Commercial matters, etc. The second guarantees you won't have to pay anything if your case wins. Girlings point them out which is good to see. If a law firm with only two solicitors in...


Frei Solicitors: We enjoy working with our clients, and strive to build a lasting relationship."< div> A quick note on navigation. Founded by Hakan Doganci, this is a one-off firm on our network. It's time consuming and costly. This is where being a niche firm can sometimes cause a...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: This is simply not true any more. There are several similarly named firms such as 'foster & foster' and 'foster law' that popped up while we were searching. class="infoquote "With a reputation of providing prompt, practical and cost-effective solutions in a nu...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: Unlike divorce, criminal law, or a will - with a property sale, 99% of the time someone is frustrated with how it's going. Both of these types should be trained, regulated and insured . Serving clients nationally."< div> That's the tagline for the Eve Lake website whi...

Amy King Legal: It's always seen as if you have to make the choice between a) using a large firm with greater resources but you're just another case number, or b) using a smaller firm where each client is probably more important but they have less resources. For example, if you ever see a s...


EMD Law LLP: Ones that provide at least a little insight into the firm's dealings with customers, like these snippets above. That's not for the same reason many of you stated in our poll last year - i.e. Certainly for legal services it will be the case that people are more likely to leav...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: There is also a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section that addresses common questions and concerns clients may have. class="infoquote "Our core values are integrity and trust, the encouragement of innovation, teamwork and the continuing personal development of eve...


Eatons Solicitors: Never compare average star ratings for legal services. class="infoquote "Bradford-based Eatons Solicitors has merged with Bingley law firm Weatherhead and Butcher Solicitors, expanding its West Yorkshire presence. But it doesn't sound as grand put that way. You can lo...


Drummond Miller LLP: Clients also no longer had to visit a specific building to get their matter seen to. That may sound like something you would never fall for. Also keep in mind that even if a firm has an 'and' in the name, web addresses cannot contain ampersands. For example, www.drummond&mil...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: However, for ADR professionals there doesn't seem to be a solid organisation watching over everything to refer you to. 'dispute' and 'resolver'. Not least because it can cover every single area of law from family disputes to an argument with a shop keeper. Normally at ...


Defank Solicitors: Defank Solicitors https: defanksolicitors.com 1_21_fess-wills-probate.html" does list fees< a> for their Will Probate, Conveyancing, and Employment Law services which is actually more clarity than you usually see. Any big changes, you need to ring your actual solicitor t...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: Variants such as www.cwj.com are not owned by the firm and neither is any variation of clarkson-wright-jakes such as www.clarksonwrightjakes.co.uk Details such as this are extremely important to bear in mind due to the number of scammers targeting clients of law firm...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Compare that with the abundance of legal professionals waiting to help you online, and the change is astounding. It seems so long ago that you would have a handful of solicitor offices in your local high street that handled everything. As most fraud related to legal servic...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: Cullimore Dutton seem to be weathering the storm well so far. Sadly due to the volatile nature of property buying and selling, there is usually one side of it that comes away less happy than they expected. class="infoquote "Being specialists in specific areas of legal...


Calio Claims: You can also only view details as pop ups which gets very difficult on a mobile device. But make sure you get fees absolutely clear at the outset and talk to more than one legal professional before deciding which firm to go with. In all of our articles about law firms we try...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: it sounds great but doesn't actually provide you any information to help you separate them from any other firm. This is hugely important because of the immense number of scams involving property matters. class="infoquote "We are a long established firm of So...


Brown and Co Solicitors: Obviously we have checked out Brown & Co and ended up adding them to our list of firms so we must have had a positive experience . To check the individual experience amongst law professionals there is a great resource on The Law Society of England & Wales' website....

Backhouse Solicitors: We've stated many times in other articles how a firm promoting their 100+ year old brand name as some sort of definitive proof of their talents proves nothing. class="infoquote "Incorporating Duffield Stunt Solicitors, established 1799"< div> When we are researc...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: If firm says they have been established for over 150 years for example, that doesn't mean there is a 150 year old guru solicitor sitting behind the desk running everything. So you may look at this firm's claim of starting in 2009 as indicating much less experience. ...


A City Law Firm Ltd: We've seen a lawyer with a 5 star review for their 'new italian menu' and a 1 star rating for a Criminal Law specialist for refusing to handle someone's divorce. At this point we should also mention the firm's branding and navigation. However for business to bu...


Two Harcourt Buildings: Thankfully the legal industry is modernising and progress is speeding up in some areas.
