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.

Youngs Solicitors: Of course, as they have been added to our database of firms we already clearly think they have considerable merit . Normally we also praise The Law Society of England & Wales for their incredibly useful website (which is definitely is) but they seem to have dropped the...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: It states Julian Groombridge qualified as a solicitor in 1998, Mohammed Ullah in 2004, Ines Azreyek-Diab in 2013, and others. Having a mix of seasoned, older heads with fresh legs can surely only be a positive asset for any legal service provider? class="infoquote "...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: Related domains such as www.trustinheritanceltd.com or the .co.uk do not currently exist. We do ou checks just as much as you should before moving forward with a company. Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. We've talk...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: Agnieszka is listed as an Immigration specialist and has extra accreditation for such matters from the Law Society as well. A quick note on navigation. The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old fir...


The Legal Practice Ltd: Law firms can get so boastful of their ancient start dates that it makes TLP's claim of 1964 sound almost in it's infancy. Today's article uses a firm actually called 'The Legal Practice' which is based in Wembley Park, Greater London. We therefore highly recommend that you...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 2505 the-injury-solicitor-ltd" check the page for a firm< a> you'll be presented with contact details, addresses, alternate trading names, and links to check the individual details of staff at the office. This is quite jus...


Taylor Price Solicitors: Taylor Price is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which has the best user-side offering we know of amongst such organisations. One last cut from their website that you may have missed: class="infoquote "Visit us for a free no obligation consultation!"<...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: For a start there are hardly any law firms left willing to work under Legal Aid. For example in Havant (near Portsmouth) they list a range of staff including Samantha Lee who qualified as a solicitor in 1995, Kelly Applegate in 2000, Tina Smith in 2013, right up t...


Stenfield Solicitors: Whereas a new brand legal practice that popped up last month could have several well seasoned lawyers with dozens of years' experience between them. It's very important these days to keep fully aware of what site you are on and the legitimacy of the emails you receive. ...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Plus more and more people are owning their own business which brings an entirely different set of issues to consider. I didn't. This should not be taken as a bad sign though, for at least three reasons. At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without ...


Simper Law Ltd: The firm name is Simper Law Ltd and most branding follows that style. That's a big reason to make sure you're on the correct site and bookmark places instead of accidentally typing the wrong web address into your browser. . They even kick off their website with a self-des...


The Search Bureau: That's not the sole basis for us promoting The Search Bureau across our network (check the https: www.searchbureau.co.uk community" page on their charity work< a>). The lack of easily available reviews shouldn't be viewed negatively in these cases. So sadly there i...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: When it comes to individuals rather than large 100+ staffed firms handling your case, we absolutely think the solicitor barrister should stick to a more niche area of law. Direct Access is something barristers have to apply for and be qualified to offer. class="infoquo...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: In the same way that a Family Law specialist will handle divorce, child custody, and more; most cases involving claims against a third party for compensation (i.e. However the term is being used correctly in this instance. A quick note on navigation as the firm b...


Richmond Legal Ltd: 'Jack of all trades, master of none' springs to mind. That's plenty of time to have gotten to grips with the chosen areas of law. Of course, you should never discuss payments or bank details via email . So for Richmond Legal to cover both these quite specialist areas togeth...


Reid Black Solicitors: We'd like to share some bits and pieces that stood out. We've also seen many people searching for 'reid and black solicitors' or 'reid black & co solicitors'. Whilst not actually based in England Wales, Reid Black will inevitably deal with a lot of other law firms, insu...


RD Costings: class="infoquote "The level of fees applied is dependent on complexity and resources required. When you see firms stating "no win, no fee" across their site, that doesn't necessarily mean there are no fees at all. It's not something most place high priority on...


Pump Court Chambers: class="infoquote "Recent changes in the law mean that members of the public, commercial organisations and non-commercial organisations can now instruct a barrister directly without the need to go through a solicitor or intermediary."< div>. Again, https: www.pumpcour...


Penerley Lawyers: Penerleys only had three online reviews that we saw after digging through Google, Yell, Yelp and Trustpilot. The quote above is from the website of a Commercial Law specialist called Penerley , based in Islington. Their site is https secure for submitting...


Pacific Law: class="infoquote "We listen ... But the major mobile players we checked all direct 0800 for free now. We put you first."< div> The most common piece of research people do over any service provider is check for reviews on the common forums such as Google Reviews, Y...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Each part of the process was explained clearly. Most people know how to spot fake reviews, but the main thing to remember is to actually read comments - don't just glance at star ratings. (Wherever that expression came from.) class="infoquote ...


OneLaw Chambers: That may sound like a large number of firms to be in a 'best of' list. Be careful when researching law firm reviews though. A solicitor that helps you with your immigration application may still have to hire a barrister when it comes to fighting the matter further. They ofte...


My Law Matters: We've been writing law articles for over twenty years now and have therefore worked alongside hundreds of law firms in that time. Either way we would still recommend bookmarking the correct site because the firm deals with property which has become a huge target ...


Milners Solicitors: The best way we recommend to research any legal service provider is through their local law society website if possible. class="infoquote "with our combined strength and determination we are always committed to delivering the results you need."< div> The big...


Michael Leighton Jones: This includes the partners Hugh Thomas (qualified as a solicitor in 1977) and Michael Jones (qualified in 1985). They are good words. The most common being Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Facebook, Yelp, etc. When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people ...


MGBe Legal: There are actual standards set that have to be achieved . That in itself is a reliable bit of industry recommendation . Certainly you can usually find some comments from previous clients across the popular forums such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp, etc. Here are a...


Mckie Legal: Not vice versa. We cover the reasons why solicitors do this in our article McEwan Fraser Legal: But considering they cover pratically everything else we really like a firm to do: transparency over claims such as awards, out of hours services, proper staff profiles, engaging with online forums, a range of contact methods, etc. But that's something we're not total...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: There are far better paying areas of law which is probably why so few firms get involved. The reason we were so keen though, was simply from one opening line on their website: class="infoquote "When you want fast, convenient and savvy advice on employment law or settin...


Lindsays Solicitors: After reading through the comments we saw three one star messages all regarding the same thing - with comments such as "Don't sell 20 stanley Road!" Apparently some of the local people wanted this particular property to be protected due it's history and their request was...


Levins Solicitors: This is complete marketing jargon. class="infoquote "Levins are still the biggest provider of legal services in Knowsley"< div> An online resource we always highly recommend is The Law Society of England & Wales' website. You can always hang up and call ba...


Lefevres Law: The obvious inference being that the older the company, the more experience they must have. Even the most cursory search on the web will show that Lefevres only just became https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company SC683368 officers" listed with co...

David Stinson & Co: But note that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation guarantee' are not the same thing. Plus they focus on a single area of law - personal injury. The official website is at www.davidstinson.co.uk, and at the moment www.davidstinson.com is a different firm. Written like t...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: The official site which we link to above is www.krsep.co.uk with www.krsep.com not redirecting there. Thanks to creation of the internet, law firms are able to select the case types they are good at and then find clients from further afield - rather than having to cate...


Khan Law: Some review forums had zero negative comments . However we believe that should never be a dealbreaker. In fact the number of firms claiming to be 'award-winning' seems to far exceed the number of awards we could think possible. class="infoquote "Our Personal Injury...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: 100% compensation means there are no fees whether your case wins or loses. But coming back to the original statement we're continuing to expand on: class="infoquote "offering an effective and first class no win no fee service"< div> This is another important state...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: We know what we do best ..."< div> Coming back to similar names, this also means if you want to see reviews of the firm you need to be very careful what terms you use. There are many other overly used marketing terms such as "friendly", "traditional", and everything bei...


Howe + Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "Howe + Co Solicitors are a leading London law firm specialising in complex litigation both in the UK and internationally"< div> Unfortunately the word 'leading' can be used to mean a variety of things such as the best firm, or simply a firm that ...


HooperHyde: HooperHyde obviously stood out to us enough for them to become included on our site. That's very clear and easy to understand. But it can sometimes be difficult to get the information due to many firms using trading names. We try to provide a range of possible soluti...


Hawkridge & Company: It's therefore not uncommon to see zero reviews for even established firms on Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, etc. Most firms around the UK are signed up to at least one law society. Some examples, for this firm you'll see David Johncock qualified in 1981, Tristan Alder in 2004, a...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Obviously there will be people trying a wide variety of close-but-not-quite attempts such as fultons-solicitors or fultonssolicitors. Many low ratings can simply be from people who wished their house sale had gone faster. class="infoquote "Our experienced team is both...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: Unfortunately, the Law Society for Scotland's website is nowhere near as good as it's English Welsh counterpart when it comes to user side data. Always kept us informed. He went on to do a law degree whilst working there, did his solicitor training there, and is now a ...


Fieldfisher LLP: This is not an offer unique to Fieldfisher or firms that state such on their website. For some, just seeing the "more than 30 years" will help. class="infoquote "We are renowned for our expertise in handling mesothelioma and other asbestos related disease claims."< div...


Fair Result Ltd: On the plus side though, the people working at the firm have both professional and (according to their About Us page) personal experience of divorce proceedings . It sounds absurd that people are falling for it. However if both sides simply want to get it over with an...


Education Law Service Ltd: If you've already been through a dozen law firm's sites today looking for one to help and didn't notice - just try typing a few of their company names into Google and see the opening hours that pop up. Criminal Injury and Uninsured Driver cases are often like this because th...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: The problem is mostly with property matters and conveyancing as https: www.clc-uk.org watch-out-for-conveyancing-fraud " fraudsters have managed to scam multi-millions< a> out of people buying selling a home. That's not something we are so keen on. They have a simil...


DV Solicitors: A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside new fresh blood. So it's an unusual but good sign. class="infoquote "We create value for our clients, our people and our community"< div> If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 529702 deo-volente-legal-llp" ...


Cooks Solicitors: Such as the firm that claimed a '150 year history' in an area simply because they moved into the building an older legal practice originally owned. But if you would like to look up the individual experience and expertise of a solicitor within any firm, you can often get the ...


CEL Solicitors: That just a couple of the reasons many general practice firms which would normally cover most litigation issues such as personal injury, medical negligence, and so on - may refuse to take on these specific types of cases. We've seen someone leave a negative review about a ...


Catteralls Solicitors: The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. More importantly, which solicitors are actually well established with experience in your matter. class="inf...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: It's meant to convey 'quality' services with minimum levels expected amongst all members such as flexible hours for appointments, free initial consultations , and so on. We are now part of a national network of firms under the QualitySolicitors Brand."< div> The firm i...


Branch Austin LLP: We wouldn't expect many common typos causing issues either but would recommend either bookmarking the website or searching for it just the same. So don't take any negative ratings as meaning anything unless there are explanatory (non-stupid) reasons given. That's just ... An...


BLZ Solicitors: That's something to watch for especially with property matters as scammers contact clients telling them deposits need to be made to different bank accounts. class="infoquote "Your case will be handled personally by a Partner from start to finish with expert advic...


Bilkus & Boyle: The opposite is also true as Bilkus & Boyle have a 5 star review for serving excellent food and being a dog friendly restaurant. The forty years Bilkus Boyle quote is therefore very reasonable and an understandable sort of figure. A two hundred year old brand name doesn'...


Bell Lax Solicitors: There were several other things about Bell Lax Solicitors we saw as positive or just plain interesting that made them stand out a bit more in our minds. However Bell Lax's news section has a wide range of well written articles . Bell Lax don't do this, which is probably jus...


Beers LLP: The Law Society database also lets you see if a firm really does 'specialise' in your case type. class="infoquote "Whilst we have maintained our core value of outstanding client service, the use of the most up to date technology enables us to deliver innovative a...

DisrepairClaim.co.uk: So whilst we still are not keen on the whole CMC thing as a general rule, in this instance using a company like DisrepairClaim.co.uk may be the only available option for many. To sum up, working with a CMC is an aberration for us but we wouldn't do it unless we thoug...


Aspire Licensing: provide advice and guidance should a contested hearing need to be arranged and assist with representation ..."< div> The list of services Aspire state on their website is extensive. Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact f...


Argue & Co Legal: And even a one star rating for a firm having moved offices to a place where the person had to pay for street parking instead of it being free. Any half decent solicitor will explain if there are any success fees early on though. However it's easy to imagine getting lost in t...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: class="infoquote "Founded in Manchester in 1984, we have over 35 years experience of helping the public with their legal claims and have recovered well over £100 million."< div> Quite often on law firms sites you see unhelpful and sometimes quite tenuous founding ...


Aconveyancing Ltd: Having just an "a" in front of "conveyancing" did cause some minor issues when trying to research the firm. They cover a good range of matters including Right to Buy, New Builds, Shared Ownership, Help to Buy and Part Exchanges. However from experience we and many oth...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: They're comfort with and use of the language extends to their responses to the comments people have left on review boards. Thousands of people have simply handed over millions of pounds to fraudsters. Second the firm can state they have been 'providing legal services for ove...
