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.


WYM Legal Ltd: Either the length of time taken, delays that no-one will take the blame for, extra reports being ordered, and more. Most will be cautious about what they say on a legal services website. You can usually check this using websites such as The Law Society for that area or htt...


Woodstock Legal Services: In most review articles we don't bother including them for the reasons just stated. They include direct contact information and work history details of each staff member which is perfect. So, do the independent review boards reflect this positivity? class="infoquote ...


Wolf Law Solicitors: We've seen many firms with negative reviews from buyers telling them to 'hurry up' their selling client. The majority of companies in any industry pay a content writer to fill their website pages. This is usually as a percentage of any compensation recovered. Unfortunately S...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: This is because the majority of people involved in a property transaction experience problems, delays, and general misery. Most legal professionals will provide a testimonials page and this firm https: www.wilfordsmith.com testimonials " does so here< a>. We think it's qu...


Wildcat Law Ltd: class="infoquote "We offer a 'Third way' service. This lets you gauge the amount of actual experience a law firm might have at its disposal. class="infoquote "We understand that our clients often need meetings outside the traditional Monday to Friday 9-5"< div>...


WH Solicitors: It may be a phrase we dislike resorting to, but it fits. Make sure you're on the correct site and only call answer numbers you know in relation to your case. . class="infoquote "We're flexible with our fees with most cases – our fees are competitive and you will...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: This is all the more important if you are looking for help with a conveyancing matter because conveyance clients https: monzo.com blog we-sent-our-house-deposit-to-a-fraudster-who-posed-as-our-lawyer" have been targeted mercilessly< a> by scammers in recent years. This is...


Walker Foster Solicitors: These are some snippets and they are clearly positive. Remember, at one point people believed smoking was good for you. The .com version is https-secure though for submitting your personal details on their contact form. You need to search for reviews on each individual offi...


UVS Law: The Act replaced previous immigration laws and introduced new regulations regarding immigration and citizenship. This includes Business Immigration such as Sponsorship Licences and Skilled Workers, Personal Immigration such as Partner Routes (e.g. However you need to b...


TWB Probate Solicitors: Not just for your chances of obtaining the result you want, but for cost as well. While we are concerned about the number of new firms springing up offering 'fast fuss free divorces' - the idea of completely ignoring the concept of advice and just filling in forms has been...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: The age of the firm's branding does not really tell you anything about the experience of the solicitor you'll get. The comments for TLP are very positive . For our example (as the title suggests) we're going to use The Law Partnership. But let's take two extremes to highlig...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: The .com and other variants such as www.thomasandthomas.co.uk also do not bring the correct firm up. This can be incredibly useful in sifting out those with real experience and real specialism versus those attempting a jack-of-all-trades approach to law. class="info...


Stephanie Heijdra: Usually we do not include company provided testimonials after the poll we took a few years ago indicated less than 8% of people trusted them. This is even more difficult for people working under their own name instead of a chambers because Google wants to match compan...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: But Immigration specialist firms are sometimes only https: www.gov.uk government organisations office-of-the-immigration-services-commissioner" registered with the OISC< a> (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) which provides much less. We've seen law firms wi...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Summerfield Browne are therefore a prime match of what we need on our own law network. Hopefully we will see all law firms offer free initial consultations in the future, even just 30 mins over video chat. Today's is going to discuss Summerfield Browne Solicitors as they h...


Sternberg Reed LLP: class="infoquote "... Each of those will bring up different reviews as well.. So what independent facts can you rely on to work out the best firm for you? class="infoquote "For the past 40 years, we have offered a wide range of legal services to both individu...


Solidaire Solicitors: 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 affordable rates."< div> One resource we always recommen...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: Make sure you're on the correct site and don't discuss bank details or payments via email.. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 20313 smith-graham" check out the page< a> for this firm you'll see a range of qualification dates spanning the past five decade...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: The website is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal information on the contact form. But most people never take them at their word and will always look up reviews left on independent boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. There are huge numbers of firms provin...


PCS Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "We are committed to ensuring all our clients receive the highest possible standard of advice and service in relation to their house sale or purchase, Remortgage, Equity Release, Transfer of Equity, Commercial transactions, Probate or Will advice."< ...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: People have https: www.thetimes.co.uk money-mentor fraud-and-scams the-email-phishing-scams-to-look-out-for-in-2024" lost their life savings< a> by going to a website which looked similar to the one they thought they were on. Google has also made changes so that reviews o...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: It doesn't help that so many law firms repeat the same sales pitches, use the same language and even seem to use the same stock photos. So how do they compare? class="infoquote "dealt with the case very professionally and promptly" "made everything easy for me und...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: Unfortunately there are a limited number of colours, images, and ways to express professionals doing a professional job. There are plenty of other sentences on law firm's websites that can help though, and you might be missing them. However for this piece the two are going t...


SG Murphy Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. But it often just takes a little bit of standing back and reasoning. Thousands of people have https: www.which.co.uk news article friday-afternoon-fraud-the-scam-that-wipes-out-your-house-deposit-in-seconds-aczyy9J2tFkK" handed their hous...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Some variants such as www.mjvlaw.com are owned by different companies. But it should be noted that some firms use less than clear language for such statements. The Facebook reviews were a bit disorganised and not matching up with the star ratings. It wasn't until we research...


McCarthy + Co LLP: Sometimes simply because they received an official looking email that said to change the bank payment details at the last minute. In the end, all it showed us was the address and phone number for McCarthy & Co. This is especially important since the firm handles property mat...


Mark Croft Solicitor: While statements such as these on some solicitor websites are meant to give the impression of extensive experience - it's pretty much meaningless. This statement is clear as it means Mark Croft himself has 28 years of experience . For some reason, the buyer doesn't bother c...


Lyons Solicitors: The most common complaint we hear is that they all look the same. Some people have https: www.bankofscotland.co.uk securityandprivacy protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" handed their entire house deposit< a> into a fraudsters ba...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: All linked together in an easy to use database. That's the difference to watch for. This becomes even more important for cases such as Immigration where the law is constantly changing, unbelievably confusing, and typically requiring some international knowledge. We ...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: So firms who specialise in these might have few or even no reviews, while property sales legal practices will always have plenty of people expressing their feelings. They have a wide range of user-side information such as alternate contact details, any different trading name...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: If you're trying to look for reviews on Google it is becoming more common to have to enter the location as well as the firm's name - e.g. Sadly, that resource is the Law Society of England & Wales which doesn't cover this Scottish firm. We have one niche firm on our network ...


Horsley Law: Their official site is at www.horsleylaw.co.uk but be aware that the .com version does not redirect you there. https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 595853 horsley-holdings-ltd?Solicitors=True" For Horsley Law< a> their main solicitor is listed as Ashley...

All Law Ltd: The firm has some testimonials included on their website. Most importantly it will tell you the qualification dates of any legal professionals within the practice. It's possible you may get a 1-year newbie solicitor from a 40-year old firm, or a 40-year veteran solici...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: As you can see the majority are positive . class="infoquote "we always offer an initial discussion* free of charge"< div> To Heritage Park's credit, they have asterix'ed this statement and put a clarification later on. In the statement above this firm states ...


HCR Legal LLP: We're not satisfied unless we're making a real difference to peoples' lives"< div> That's a snippet from the front page of the HCR site. That's a huge range of experience levels within the firm mixing wise old heads with fresh eyes - which can't possibly be a bad thing...


Harrison's Solicitors: This way you can check whether the firm does have genuine 'qualified' staff. It has levelled the playing field so that smaller firms offering great service can't be crushed out of the market by larger, bigger-budgeted firms. Their areas of law also show they special...


Guardian Law: class="infoquote "our specialist employment lawyers can advise and represent you"< div> Today's article is on Guardian Law, an Employment Law specialist based in Nottingham working on the businesses side of the aisle. This brings up an extra point about review...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: For example, if you see a law firm of two solicitors stating they cover a dozen different areas of law including Immigration - they are logically less likely to be able to keep fully updated on all legal guidelines for every case type versus an Immigration specialist firm....


Girlings Solicitors LLP: Girlings point them out which is good to see. It's not as if any firm is claiming to be 'one of the failing' or 'outdated' or 'ineffecient'. For all we know their 'award' might be for best logo design which doesn't really affect how good their legal services are. cl...


Frei Solicitors: So a lack of reviews is not a negative sign when it comes to companies that deal in legal matters. The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or maybe bookmark the site if coming back later? The site is HTTPS secure ...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: The official website for this firm is www.fosterandcoleman.com and currently www.fosterandcoleman.co.uk does not redirect you. There were some comments available when we looked: class="infoquote "they have made me and my family very happy" "Outstanding service" ...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: But most variants we tried such as the .com version or evelakeconveyancing.co.uk all returned domains owned by other companies or not at all. There are a lot of terms to contend with when searching for help with legal matters. We've even seen people leave reviews on the othe...


EMD Law LLP: We've covered https: www.directaccessportal.co.uk " Direct Access< a> barristers and even paralegal firms which both can result in lower costs. There was a chat feature on the site, but the two times we tried it we were simply asked for our phone number early on so ...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. The site also includes a blog section that features articles and updates on legal topics of interest, such as employment law, family law, and commercial law. This is an excellent way for potential clients to get to know the lawyers at EDC Lo...


Eatons Solicitors: You don't see that for any other case type such as a disgruntled divorcee complaining their spouse's firm won. So anything to help people not get misdirected or misled is a plus in our book . So a quick note on navigation is required. Firms will try to express experience in...


Drummond Miller LLP: For example, www.drummond&miller.co.uk could not exist, it would be www.drummondandmiller.co.uk The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your contact details via their form. That was until the internet came along. Many of our articles try to introduce you to so...


Defank Solicitors: The firm's official site is www.defanksolicitors.com but www.defanksolicitors.co.uk is not owned by them. class="infoquote "With a dedicated team of experienced solicitors, we are here to guide and support you through a wide range of legal matters."< div> On tha...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: The downside to having a wealth of choice is of course ... class="infoquote "We support a number of organisations and encourage everyone at CWJ to participate in community and charity projects."< div> A quick note on navigation. So the age of the firm's l...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: The importance of all this is because for many years now property sales have been the biggest target of scammers when it comes to legal matters. We've genuinely never seen another firm do that in the 20+ years we've been writing about the legal industry. If you've fli...


Cook Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "Cook Legal solicitors ... But law firms were genuine local fixtures for centuries before the internet arrived. Either way we always recommend reading the actual comments rather than flicking through star ratings. Now you may have to state the l...


Calio Claims: But, no-win-no-fee is not the same thing as 100% compensation . The first sounds like a modern firm whilst the second sounds like a crusty old high street building where the owners don't know a Tweet from an Insta. As the rules and regulations and guidelines flew around c...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: This snippet above from the website of Buchanan & Co Solicitors is one such statement - i.e. Either way though, always make sure to read actual comments rather than rely on average star ratings. Luckily there is a great resource online with The Law Society of En...


Brown and Co Solicitors: This is a hugely important thing to remember because the firm handles conveyancing property matters which have been https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1511097 property-warning-home-buyers-scam-conveyancing-fraud" targeted worldwide by scammers< a> due t...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: While a firm stating they are 'friendly' or 'experienced' sounds great - it needs to be noted that every single law firm will claim to have both those qualities. There is usually no background check or even effort to check they are a real law firm. Unfortunately, the ...


Bridge McFarland LLP: They state alternative company names, all office addresses, specialist case types, and most importantly - qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. Make sure you're on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. So what about the independent boards...


Brian Barr Solicitors: class="infoquote "97% compensation claims success rate achieved by Brian Barr Solicitors in 2021"< div> Obviously the first thing people usually check is company reviews when seeking to procure any service. It provides a wealth of information on any of the firms...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Some were complaining about third parties related to the case, while others simply left a negative star rating with no explanation. The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent user side database for people to research legal service providers. Compare that with the...


Backhouse Solicitors: As mentioned above Duffield Stunt Solicitors has merged into Backhouse Solicitors Ltd with the official site being the hyphenated and https protected www.backhouse-solicitors.co.uk However both www.backhousesolicitors.co.uk and the .com will redirect you there. Because if yo...


Amy King Legal: But always make sure you are on the correct website and do not discuss bank details or payments via email - no matter how official the email might look. Our staff have varied experience in courts, immigration centres, insurance claims, and we even have an ex-policeman. So d...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: While many will offer customer testimonials on their website, the overwhelming majority prefer to get their client feedback from the independent forums such as Google, Trustpilot and Facebook. All of these statements sound great. Always make sure you are on the correct websi...


A City Law Firm Ltd: But they certainly sound as if they take their role in consumer information seriously. So for any firm you're able to see for yourself whether there is a decent amount of experience individually and collaboratory in the firm you're thinking of using. We strive for innovat...


Two Harcourt Buildings: However before we get into that, we should probably share the opening line of this particular chambers' website. As you can see, each is still specifically about one particular barrister. Hiring a barrister can absolutely save you time and money compared to go...
