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: For example, with Law (aka All Law Ltd) it says solicitor Jeffrey Garland qualified 1982 while Christopher Mccrudden joined the profession in 2016. It's very difficult to work out which law firm is best for your case based on simply flicking through each firm's website. Peop...

Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: If they are not on your mortgage lender's panel then there could be an extra fee required (at the very least) so it's something to check on before signing on the dotted line with any conveyancer. class="infoquote "Over 10 years post qualification experience, gained...


WYM Legal Ltd: You must take extra care when dealing with house selling buying these days as so many people https: www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk lifestyle homes-and-gardens you-need-to-know-about-this-scam-if-youre-house-hunting-in-leeds-103355" have handed their entire deposit<...


Woodstock Legal Services: Click on our profile pictures for more information."< div> A quick word on navigation. The current official website is www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk but www.woodstocklegalservices.com does not currently redirect. Clearly we ended up with a positive impression of th...


Wolf Law Solicitors: (If that makes sense?) class="infoquote "You'll be given a representatives mobile number so you can call, even when the office is closed"< div> Little things like this are always a good indication of good customer service. This is usually as a percentage of any ...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: So they could have 10x staff members with only 4 years of experience each. Those are merely claims about the firm's branding having existed for a really long time. We think it's quite a pointless claim which Wilford Smith and many others thankfully do not make. Or more prec...


Wildcat Law Ltd: So such statements don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. A good mix of seasoned minds with fresh eyes. However if you think about it no firm is ever going to claim to be the opposite - i.e. For example thousands of people have handed their entire house de...


WH Solicitors: Plus Google sometimes only returns reviews for a firm if you put in a location so you'd need the full 'wh solicitors woking'. Sometimes based on nothing more than a single official-looking email saying to do so. That's good. class="infoquote "WH Solicitors is a spec...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: But even if the firm you're checking on does have a website, we still recommend https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 606048 waterstone-partnership-solicitors?Solicitors=True" taking a look at< a> the law society's site. Keep safe. . We've known ...


Walker Foster Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. class="infoquote "extremely happy with the efficient and excellent service" "We appreciated her prompt replies to any of our queries" "very kind, supportive and efficient" "kept up to date at all stages of the process"< div> ...


UVS Law: So how do you find the best immigration service for your particular needs? class="infoquote "We are committed to providing exceptional legal services to individuals and businesses seeking immigration solutions."< div> That's a quote from the UVS Law website. U...


TWB Probate Solicitors: We try to cover a wide range of law firms on our site including alternative legal professionals and companies who might provide related services. While we are concerned about the number of new firms springing up offering 'fast fuss free divorces' - the idea of completely ign...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: It's a difficult thing to judge. That could still be a 'specialist' firm if each solicitor is expert in each case type. class="infoquote "Specialising in Conveyancing, Landlord & Tenant, Immigration, Family Law, Wills Probate Trusts & LPA"< div> It can often be...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: The same for anything in Scotland above the Edinburgh Glasgow line. class="infoquote "As a forward-thinking law firm, we are continuously investing in new and innovative legal solutions and technology"< div> Another quick note on navigation. So what are they s...


Stephanie Heijdra: We try to make sure you know about the different types of legal help you can get in your area including the typical high street solicitor but also things like will writers and accountants that can sometimes help with legal issues at a fraction of the cost. So if you've spen...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: The absence of negative information isn't the best indicator of a positive choice. Sometimes, like many consumers, we just have to go with our gut. class="infoquote "Immigration is our business but we strive to provide our services with integrity and care, and ...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: A mix of seasoned professional alongside fresh legs. Many still might prefer that official office visit when it comes to legal matters, but for businesses that might need to check in with their solicitor several times a year over various commercial law matters - utilis...


Sternberg Reed LLP: You have to enter 'sternberg reed solicitors romford' or 'sternberg reed grays office'. The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your details on their contact form. So what independent facts can you rely on to work out the best firm for you? class="infoquote "For t...


Solidaire Solicitors: Certainly, I can't imagine any firm stating the opposite. So what phrases can you use to separate one firm from another? What resources are available to help you? class="infoquote "We are experienced in what we do and aim to offer outstanding representation at affor...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'. We've seen law firms with 5 star reviews for their food and 1 star reviews for the bad haircut they got. The first is the expertise of the staff, and more importantly - their experience. But overall the weight o...


PCS Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "We are on the Legal Panel for most major banks, building societies and lending institutions and can therefore deal with all mortgage security work on their behalf."< div> Another thing to bear in mind when deciding between conveyance providers ...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: Oakwood have a https: www.oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk all-things-oakwood the-oakwood-solicitors-team " staff information< a> section on their website which is great. Some firms will try to intimate experience with tag lines about having 'been in business for over forty years'...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: So NJS don't just have 'experience', they have a range of experience levels. There is a theme of 'listening' and 'caring' repeated throughout many. It obviously does not mean there is a 200 year old solicitor at the firm jam-packed with experience . If you visit the N...


SG Murphy Solicitors: As we've pointed out in other articles, firms that are involved in buying and selling properties tend to have lower star ratings simply because hardly anyone thinks their sale is going fast enough and each side is always blaming the other. class="infoquote "Average t...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: We therefore turn to the same places most consumers do which is the public review board such as https: www.google.com search?q=mjv+law+Thornton-Cleveleys&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsalxGo7bn__bt5tCtdwUowu1oS7AA%3A1663791418678&ei=OnErY_-GKaWShbIP6JWx0Ao&ved=0ah...


McCarthy + Co LLP: If they have won an award for 'best logo design', we don't think that really counts towards them being a decent legal practice. But every little helps. Never, ever discuss payments via email and call the person you normally deal with to ask if any change is valid. c...


Mark Croft Solicitor: class="infoquote "I am available to undertake criminal legal aid agency work."< div> Again this is another statement that you might let slip by , but since the '90s there have been increasing efforts by each goverment to decrease the number of people that can q...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: There are a considerable number of reviews for each office on Google and dozens of others across the other independent boards. in public as they are about the local pizza place. The majority are very positive and (unusually) very long and well written with plenty ...


Lyons Solicitors: class="infoquote "We have a long-established local client base as we pride ourselves on providing a first class personal service to all of our clients."< div> Clearly the firm must have a considerable amount expertise and experience based on that information....


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "The high standards of our personalised client care form an important part of our business."< div> Of course the first thing most consumers do when interested in a company is check out the public review boards https: www.google.com search?q=l...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: Obviously they will not have a 120-year-old solicitor on staff - so that number doesn't help you work out whether they will provide a competent legal professional with the skills you need. That's also how they are displayed on the website of The Law Society of England and Wa...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: That can certainly be a bit more helpful than the highly rose-tinted and hand-picked testimonials some firms choose to post on their site. www.keesolicitors.com does not redirect you there though and there are a few other firms with 'kee' in the name such as the Kee Law Firm...


Horsley Law: So where can you regularly get useful information about lawyers and legal practices? For example today we're using Horsley Law: class="infoquote "A Law Firm With a Difference"< div> As they claim at the very top of their website. class="infoquote "worke...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: You sometimes need to search for the firm name and city they are in to see that information pop up - e.g. A solicitor may not be able to represent you in court while a barrister can. Some charge a fee for this service. It is a great resource providing a wealth of backgroun...


HCR Legal LLP: Both sites are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details in their contact form. As you can see they are generally positive. For example, while www.hcrlaw.co.uk redirects you to the main site, other variants such as www.hcrlegal.com are not currently owned by the f...


Harrison's Solicitors: The most common way to check up on this is the public review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. www.harrisonssolicitors.co.uk is not currently owned by the firm and there will be plenty of variations like it also un-owned. That includes any alternate business ...


Guardian Law: https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 471765 guardian-law-limited" For this firm< a> you'll see the two principal solicitors Claire Scanlan and Nichola Elenor qualified in 2003 and 2002 respectively. class="infoquote "Get instant access to our FREE People Mana...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Always remember though that ampersands cannot be in web addresses (e.g. The idea being that the older the firm, the more experienced it is. Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors have been on the network for a while now and we wanted to make a few points about researching firms in g...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: As mentioned there are two sites. You can make a claim if your symptoms are triggered or made worse as a result of an accident caused by someone else’s negligence."< div> Some other things of note we spotted on the Girling's websites (they have two) were statements s...


Frei Solicitors: class="infoquote "We work with law firms in other jurisdictions, where we have close links and strong personal relationships, in order to achieve our clients’ objectives."< div> However this means the regular tips and rules which we advise people such as htt...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 630363 foster-coleman-limited" the page for any firm< a> you'll see other names they might go by, contact details, staff names, languages spoken, areas of law covered, and even qualification dates of the solicitors...


EMD Law LLP: That's because while everyone is very happy to shout out to the world about the pizza they just tasted, they are often less keen to announce their messy divorce, bankruptcy, criminal charges, or personal injuries. Today's article covers EMD Law LLP which, from appearances, ...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "EDC Lord takes its name from our founder Edwin David Charles Lord who began his legal practice in 1919"< div> First and foremost, the website is easy to navigate, with a clear and concise layout that makes it easy to find the information you ...


Eatons Solicitors: Domain names are only around £10-£15 a year, so we don't understand why so many property firms don't buy at least a few of the variants to avoid their clients getting tricked too easily. But it doesn't sound as grand put that way. It's common for some of the larg...


Drummond Miller LLP: This is because in property matters, clients are very, very, very rarely happy with how things have gone and especially with the speed it has gone. On top of that, property buying selling is the only legal service product we know where the opposite side consistently leaves n...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: Our goal is simple: to provide our clients with the service and experience in alternative dispute resolution as they would expect of seasoned legal professionals."< div> Summing up the wide range of alternative options involved in this process in a few sentences is d...

Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: If you look up a dozen or so law firms that handle property matters, you'll find most of them have negative comments. We see many legal practices touting 'established in' dates with the obviously intention of implying they are more experienced and well-established than other...


Defank Solicitors: Ancient founding dates are often touted to make people think the firm is well established and therefore that must mean they have plenty of experience. class="infoquote "Our firm is proud to serve the London community and beyond, delivering exceptional legal solution...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: However you can easily end up with a 1-year qualified novice from a 200-year old firm, and a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old firm. But they do specialise in legal areas that relate to family life including Divorce, Wills, and Property. So they are involved in some o...


Cook Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "kept us well informed the whole time" "answered all of our questions promptly and with full clarity" "extremely supportive and incredibly efficient" "we received regular communications and advice"< div> Those are a few snippets from thir...


Calio Claims: For anything else you'll probably be under the Lindsays departments. class="infoquote "Wherever possible, we aim to deal with claims on a "no-win, no-fee basis" which means that you are only liable for legal fees where we are successful in making your claim."< div> ...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our friendly and approachable team are here to help you deal with whatever legal issue you have"< div> Of course the first port of call for most consumers whenever checking out a company is the public comment boards https: www.google.com sear...


Brown and Co Solicitors: So hopefully from all this you'll see our decision to have Brown&Co added to the network was not without merit. All that said, we'll give the firm one last pitch-y quote on this page: class="infoquote "We aim to provide practical solutions to real-life problems."< di...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: With the birth of the internet, people can now choose from hundreds of thousands of legal service providers across the nation rather than being tied to their local high street law practice. But these days, the majority of law firms we work with are at varying points on tha...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Just typing 'bridge mcfarland' currently shows nothing on Google, you have to type in the full 'bridge mcfarland llp lincoln' or whatever office is nearest you. Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing...


Brian Barr Solicitors: Many use similar wording, similar images, and make similar claims. However, if a firm is also dealing with family law, wills, criminal defence, and house sales at the same time - can they really be 'specialist' at anything? Certainly there are plenty of large firms that have...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: So when a firm states you have 'direct access to your solicitor', that's actually a useful thing to note. There is a separate website for the Scottish branch at www.scotlandinjurysolicitors.co.uk which uses the branding of Scotland Injury Solicitors as well. class="in...


Backhouse Solicitors: These redirects are an important service we think not enough lawyers pay attention to in order to protect their clients. Always read comments, not glance at star ratings. At the time of writing this firm had 295 reviews on Google alone. This is because of the huge ...


Amy King Legal: Many don't work for an established brand name at all and strike out on their own. https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 6540 amy-jane-king" In this case< a> you can see Amy King qualified in 1995. "< div> < br> The main thing is to feel confident in the professi...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: So when it comes to legal services you really need to actually read the comments rather than flick through just the star ratings in order to get the full picture. You can easily end up with a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 150-year-old firm. Most importantly they will s...


A City Law Firm Ltd: They will all still be the positive comments, but https: acitylawfirm.com testimonials " they will also display< a> the name of an actual business willing to have their brand posted on that page next to those comments. So such testimonials might be worth a browse in tho...


Two Harcourt Buildings: A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible representation. class="infoquote "We have specialist Direct Access trained barristers available in the following practice areas: Fraud and Financial Crime; Criminal Defence; Regulatory; Pro...
