All Law Ltd: Common variants such as www.law.co.uk or www.alllaw.com are being used by other firms. It's very difficult to work out which law firm is best for your case based on simply flicking through each firm's website. If you see a website claiming 'established in 1881' or ancient ...


WYM Legal Ltd: Obviously with a w right after the www. class="infoquote "We are a leading firm within the conveyancing sector, driving up standards to improve the service that clients receive."< div> This sounds great. Since both sides always blame the other person's solicito...


Wolf Law Solicitors: We've seen many firms with negative reviews from buyers telling them to 'hurry up' their selling client.

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. M...


TWB Probate Solicitors: Unfortunately, in the UK there are no good guidelines blocking people from calling themselves a 'lawyer' considering most are not aware it does not mean the same thing as a 'solicitor' or 'barrister'. It's always best to try and stay safe online and not take any unnecessar...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our Solicitors offer personalised and caring legal services for individuals."< div> Most firms will make a claim about happy clients. Then there are firms that state useless dates such as "founded in 1881". Abdul Khan who qualified in 1999, an...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: It can be very confusing trying to navigate the world of 'marketing jargon'. That's actually a bigger deal than you might think.

Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: Alternatively a smaller firm is imagined as providing a more personal service with an interest in your specific legal issue, but they may not have the same resources or experience within the firm. The official website is www.sarahandrewslaw.co.uk but the full name you see ...


PCS Legal Ltd: Solicitors may work with The Law Society. Especially when it comes to property matters where one side is usually unhappy. It looks as though they also list some details about whether they have ever received complaints about each firm. Some only act as go-betweens and outsour...

NJS Law Ltd: Keeping such things in mind is always important no matter which firm you use. If you read '60 years of combined experience' on a law firm's website it could be that there are two veterans with 30 years' experience each. class="infoquote "We will always be honest...

MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: But the RICS do not supply the level of consumer help we see on sites such as The Law Society of England & Wales. They assume a lengthy procedure and high costs. It not only provides greater insight into the process itself, but also highlights where you might be able to save...


SG Murphy Solicitors: So how do you tell them apart? Sadly, since the giant push for marketing jargon to make things sound great no matter what, it can be difficult. Those are all great things to be as a law firm, but certainly there are no firms claiming to be the opposite. cla...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: In 20+ years we've never seen the contrary. Plus any firm that deals with property will always, always have negative comments about delays. It dawned on us straight off the bat with this statement on the front page of the firm's website: class="infoquote "MJV Co is ...

Mark Croft Solicitor: So that could be 5 members of staff each with only 4 years of experience. So if you see any law firm's website saying they are willing to take on Legal Aid cases - don't just pass that over as if it's something every law firm does. class="infoquote "I have been ...

EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: This is especially important in today's digital age, where many people rely on their smartphones and tablets to access information online.

ACSL Solicitors Ltd: All of these statements sound great. There are other sources you can use to get background information. Absolutely, a firm that indicates potential pricing on their site is showing< u> a level of transparency rather than just claiming to have such. class="inf...


A City Law Firm Ltd: That's very different to a firm having a 10 or 15 year experienced lawyer on staff. That last bit of data is hugely helpful when it comes to working out if a firm is experienced or not. The most obvious way to check up on those claims is through the public review b...
