McCarthy + Co LLP: In the end, all it showed us was the address and phone number for McCarthy & Co. A quick note on navigation should be made with the firm having an 'and' or '+' sign in it's branding. McCarthy's site does state some of the awards won including a few from the Irish Law...

Lyons Solicitors: You could get a 1-year qualified lawyer from a 200-year-old firm, or a 40-year veteran from a 1-year-old firm. But first you need to know a key difference in the types of wording some firms use to describe their levels of experience. This firm's branding is 'Lyons Solicitors...

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: There are still plenty of law firms charging people money before getting to sit down with an actual solicitor.

England & Derbyshire LLP: That's not actually as easy to answer as you might think. As you can see from this snippet from their front page, they use the words "law firm" and "solicitor".

Nero Legal Ltd: Of course, thousands of law firms get involved in charitable work as well. The property market is currently the biggest target for scammers amongst legal matters. While they can be a bit twitchy sometimes (we've seen Google return reviews for a pizzeria instead of a l...

EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: There is also a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section that addresses common questions and concerns clients may have.

Drummond Miller LLP: Scottish residents however have the Law Society of Scotland website which is slightly better than it was a few years back, but still provides only basic information that doesn't seem to help you learn more than you did before visiting the site. These snippets above are from ...


Defank Solicitors: There are hundreds of websites out there pretending to look like an official law firm when they are actually simply gathering people's case details to sell on to solicitors. The easiest way to spot the difference is by searching the bottom of the firm's website. As of writin...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: The official website is www.cwj.co.uk and it is HTTPS secure if you want to submit your personal details in their contact form.

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: Names, years of experience, any additional specialties and direct contact details.

Buchanan & Co Solicitors: If you've been through a few other articles or pages of this site you may have noticed that 1to1Legal tries to offer a range of service providers with flexible search options - rather than cramming 100+ of the same type of firm into a directory. We've been working in the leg...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: There doesn't seem to be any other firms popping up in the search with similar names. So what other factors can you use to distinguish between legal service providers? class="infoquote "Search our team of legal experts, and find the right person to discuss your needs....


Brian Barr Solicitors: Experience is also a massive part of a successful and swift outcome to your case. So how do you tell them apart? For example, the majority of compensation claim firms state they are 'specialists'. class="infoquote "Specialists in serious, catastrophic and br...


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.

Backhouse Solicitors: These redirects are an important service we think not enough lawyers pay attention to in order to protect their clients. Because whilst every word in that sentence sounds great - most firms say the exact same thing so it doesn't really help you distinguish one firm from a...


Amy King Legal: Some people have handed their https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1782733 scam-warning-home-deposit-hackers-online" entire house deposit< a> over to fraudsters based on just one email telling them the payment details have changed. . Also, you could very well...
