Youngs Solicitors: As our poll last year indicated - only 8% of people seemed to take company provided testimonials into account when making up their minds about a firm. But even variants such www.youngandco.co.uk are owned by different firms. The whole firm and all staff can focus on a single...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: We are a firm that puts people first."< div> Again, claiming the customer comes first is something mentioned by practically every single law firm's website. It has not kept up with the rise in regular inflation fees at all. If you've read any of our other articles you'l...

Words like 'modern', 'fresh', and 'friendly' appear pr...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "The delivery of our services is centred on specialist practice areas ensuring our clients receive an expert and excellent service."< div> So even though Trojan Solicitors state a range of case types being handled, they are not all handled by all ...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: If you're ever in doubt, the various Law Society databases are a great resource. 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. Most are and new firms know it can ...


Taylor Price Solicitors: For example, if you saw a negative review for Burger King saying 'they wouldn't sell me a pizza!' - you'd think the reviewer was nuts and ignore it. Another was a finalist for Best Professional in Business at the https: www.asianimage.co.uk news 17695705.8th-english-asian-...

Stenfield Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our key objective is to provide solid, reliable and cost effective legal advice delivered in an efficient and friendly manner."< div> Every firm makes a claim like this quote from the firm's website. class="infoquote "very impressed with th...

Simper Law Ltd: That's something to watch out for as www.simplelaw.com is owned by a different firm. (Something companies tend not to include in their own testimonial section!) Negative reviews can be a great way to spot general themes of complaint. An easy mistake to make if typing thing...


The Search Bureau: But that's the case for most related service providers such as this conveyancing searches company or others such as law costs drafting firms. If you've read some of our other articles where we research solicitors, barristers and law practices across the UK - you'll prob...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Originally you would have to hire a solicitor and spend time and money informing them of your case. If you've read some of our other review articles on firms, this is usually the point where we direct you to various online resources to help research the company in more...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Apparently people really are sending tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters without bothering to check with their solicitor about the payment change first. Reynolds Macdonald are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have the ...


Richmond Legal Ltd: One good way to check up on a law firm or an individual solicitor's expertise and experience is through the local law society. Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to cover a multitude of services, there are some that clearly go well beyond their capabilities. ...


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. ...


Reid Black Solicitors: Northern Ireland, like much of here in the celtic-relative land of Scotland, has a couple of large population centres with most others spread out about. We only started reviewing and writing about law firms in Northern Ireland about half a dozen years ago. they don't even me...


RD Costings: For example most people will want a specialist for Criminal Defence or Motor Offence work. The site also states: class="infoquote "You may be entitled to compensation if you have been a victim of a violent crime."< div> The "may" being in bold is how it's w...


Pump Court Chambers: If you flick through the reviews on regular haunts such as Google, Yell, Trustpilot, Yelp, etc. Prior to this you would have to hire a solicitor, tell them all about your case, then they would go hire a barrister and get them to handle court side of the matter. These are not...


Penerley Lawyers: Obviously during lockdown though everything is a bit haywire. class="infoquote "Penerley provides first-rate legal services to businesses and private individuals."< div> We're now at a stage on the web where people typically have access to online reviews about eve...


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...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: OTS Solicitors state being listed in https: www.legal500.com " The Legal 500< a>, which unfortunately is probably more known amongst other legal industry professionals rather than general consumers. There are many wonderful firms without a single drop of publicity ink. ...


OneLaw Chambers: The official site we link to above is www.onelawchambers.com but www.onelawchambers.co.uk does not redirect you there. A https: www.legal500.com how-it-works " list of the qualities and standards< a> each firm on the Legal 500 list has to meet as a bare minimum is a...


My Law Matters: So what are third party boards like Google, Facebook, Yell.com, etc. We've even seen a divorce client leave a one star rating on a criminal law firm for not handling divorces. class="infoquote "we always strive to maintain consistently high standards throughout our wor...


Milners Solicitors: In this new generation ruled by Facebook and Instagram, we know that seeing such information can make a difference in a potential clients selection process. We did see a few negative ratings but the comments were not particularly helpful as to why such a rating had been left...


Michael Leighton Jones: There is a firm call 'MLJ Legal Ltd' based in Hull, but at the moment searches including MLJ acronyms also brought up the michaelleightonjones website. This is very different to a firm that offers a wide range of case types handled, but ALL of their solicitors try to handle ...


Mckie Legal: This is usually marked very clearly and carefully on each firm's website of course. Knowing the correct name for a firm is also useful when background checking about them as that will be the name registered with organisations and government agencies. That may soun...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: There are far better paying areas of law which is probably why so few firms get involved. Some people are handing over entire house deposits to fraudsters based solely on an email asking them to change the bank details they pay to. To make sure you don't think we fast-tracke...


Lindsays Solicitors: The English Welsh law society's site provides a wide range of details on each firm such as alternate contact details, trading names, qualified solicitors at the firm, and even their qualification dates. Preferrably with reasons commented next to any rating. Please note tha...


Levins Solicitors: We did find though that when you start typing 'levins solicitors' into Google it sometimes displays a totally different firm in the drop down suggestions. We're sad to say that even our own local law society (The Law Society of Scotland) does not come close in matching the ...


Lefevres Law: The obvious inference being that the older the company, the more experience they must have. But it certainly sounds impressive and from such a reputable, reliable source it's probably safe to assume it is so. Since the 90's the government has made an increasing effort to s...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: At the moment most scams in the law industry are aimed at property sales purchases with fraudsters https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" managing to convince people to send tens of thousands...


Khan Law: So, yes. That's fair enough. Normally a firm obtains testimonials for their site through direct questions or specific feedback questionnaires. That's because we've seen law firms with five star reviews for their dog-friendly restaurant and others being criticised for simply...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: JPS Walker Solicitors don't just provide regular testimonials on their website, they actually https: jpswalker.co.uk case-studies 6500-award-for-scott-after-drill-injury-at-work " have a few case studies< a> detailing the incident, an overview of the issues, and the outco...

Jacobs Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on offering our clients the very best advice in specific areas of expertise. A great feature is being able to see the qualification dates of any solicitor at a firm. The practice of claiming an "established in 1881" foundation ...


Howe + Co Solicitors: So with so many variants such as www.howeandco.com being available and www.howeandco.co.uk being owned by someone else - make sure you're on the right website and never discuss payments or bank details via email . Other companies such as John Howe & Co Solicitors are using ...

Hill House Chambers: Biggest things to watch for are emails about money, payments, or bank details as that should never happen . But the Bar Standards Board is far less consumer oriented. The main website is at www.hillhousechambers.co.uk which we link to above. Hill House Chambers have be...


Hawkridge & Company: This firm is signed to The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473274 hawkridge-company-llp" they offer a huge range< a> of information about the firms they list. However for this you are usually able to check...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: So what about the staff at Fulton's Estate Agents themselves? Well according to the site's About Us page the firm started off as Hamilton, Burns and Moore back in the 1970s with the titular solicitor Mr Fulton joining the firm in 1978. For all we know they called Fultons abo...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: That's why the majority of law firms that deal with conveyancing and related property matters will most likely have a big chunk of negative reviews. But enough about what we think, what are previous clients saying about the firm? class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans alwa...

QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: The age of the branding though whether pre or post QS signup is really unimportant though (in our opinion). There are negative reviews from people who were told they didn't have a case. Whilst most of our articles are about individual firms along with the pros cons and thing...


Fair Result Ltd: The key is agreeing the financial settlement in the form of a consent order, this is where we believe we are unique."< div> In the same vein, many firms also state they have a 'uniqueness' just like Fair Result have done. So there is a massive difference between a firm ...


Education Law Service Ltd: For example: class="infoquote • "Making formal written representations to persuade a Local Authority to carry out an assessment" • "Challenging a refusal to assess before the Special Educational Needs Tribunal" • "Reviewing a draft Education Health a...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: John Houghton at this firm qualified in 1975, Rajesh Nair in 1999, right up to Abhishek Benjamin in 2014. Often by simply emailing to tell say the bank details for their deposit have changed. Don't ever discuss payments or bank details via email is therefore one good r...


DV Solicitors: They have a range of articles clearly meant to help out people with the basics. Debt recovery is another area where using a specialist non-solicitor-based company could be a better solution for your particular needs. Not every case requires a solicitor at a huge law firm. ...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: They are a Claims Management Company specialising in the very niche case focus of Landlord Tenant disputes about https: www.itv.com news 2021-04-13 investigation-launched-into-disgusting-damp-and-mouldy-council-housing-after-itv-news-report" disrepair matters within rente...


David Stinson & Co: But the solicitor may take a cut of your compensation should you win. For a name that's been around for a while, it may appear as though the number of reviews doesn't reflect that. A lawyer who is expert in one can usually handle any of the others just as well. Written like ...


Cooks Solicitors: Whilst that might mean you'll need slightly more concentration to make sure your researching information about the actual office rather than the group as a whole - most of the time everyone else has not bothered to do the same. There are other law firms with 'cook...


CEL Solicitors: This may sound like it should be the standard for most companies across all industries by this point. There were a few things that we thought crossed the line in trying to be modern though, such as describing their staff as "a pretty cool gang" and stating their Liverpool ...


Catteralls Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our highly skilled team are specialist solicitors who cover family law, child-care, wills & probate, litigation & disputes, as well as employment law, and many more."< div> These sorts of statements are the ones we usually advise people to pay cl...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: The legal industry seems to be treated quite differently to others. On this occasion the firm we're talking about doesn't list any testimonials on their own website. Can Branch Austin McCormick back this up? Well, certainly they are https: www.legal500.com firms 235872-bra...


BLZ Solicitors: These four case types are not exactly the easiest or the best paying in relation to lawyer earnings elsewhere. www.blzsolicitors.co.uk is the official site we link to above and currently www.blzsolicitors.com doesn't seem to be owned by anyone. For example, many immigration ...


Bilkus & Boyle: We usually can't find specific pages on a firm but if you https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=bilkus&Postcode=&type=firm" search a firm's name on their website< a> some information should pop up. But can you actually find out the expertise and experienc...


Bell Lax Solicitors: Bell Lax don't do this, which is probably just as well because in our poll last year only 8% of you said you trusted company-provided testimonials. class="infoquote "dealt with my case in a very supportive and informative manner" "all the staff are incredibly fri...


Beers LLP: class="infoquote "We have specialist lawyers in areas such as Commercial and Residential Property, Employment, Personal Injury, Dispute Resolution, Health and Safety Management, Wills, Wealth Management and Tax Planning and Family and Relationship Breakdown."< div> ...


Aspire Licensing: There are certainly more quality, cost-effective, and quicker solutions to legal problems these days. The same is sometimes true of debt matters. class="infoquote "Our advisors have over 10 years' experience of dealing with licensing and gaming applications and have a ...


Argue & Co Legal: You'll just see auto search results from your browser.. Normally there is just a few bits of basic inforation in some https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=argue&Postcode=&type=firm" search results< a>. We've seen conveyancing firms with over a thousand reviews...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: Housing disrepair on the other hand are cases we've always understood to require considerable work for the amount of pay off for the solicitor. class="infoquote "We specialise in acting for tenants where their landlord has failed to repair their property or protecti...


Aconveyancing Ltd: providing some extra time for people to call with questions. None of that seemed to apply to Aconveyancing's reviews. Aconveyancing on the other hand, has completely bucked this trend. Some of the largest and most popular firms that we've worked with have a 2-3 star r...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: In this case, the solicitors certainly aren't 'green'. They really actively target and can properly communicate with (and therefore surely better represent) Polish speaking claimants. Just narrowly beating Welsh. Or two solicitors with 40 years' experience and one with 5. ...
