WYM Legal Ltd: Unlike most other organisations, this one provides a wealth of information on any firm registered with it. It's not uncommon to see even some of the country's top conveyancing companies with 2 star or 3 star average ratings. It's a curse that comes with the job. If you've ...

Summerfield Browne Solicitors: For many the term 'Solicitor' still brings up the image of an old building in the centre of town and old men in old dusty wigs. Most of the variants we tried brought up the correct site in the top search results spot but many brought up adverts for other firms. ...

QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: As mentioned before the firm's own website www.largeandgibson.co.uk currently redirects to a section on the main QS site - www.qualitysolicitors.com largeandgibson so you need to make sure you go to that specific web address.

Eatons Solicitors: They also seem to have bought other variants such as www.eatonssolicitors.co.uk which is actually much more helpful and security conscious than you might think. One thing to watch for when researching though is that Google can often return zero reviews for a firm if you mi...
