McCarthy + Co LLP: Even this quote above from the McCarthy & Co site about being award-winners is a claim made by so many of its rivals. That's tens of thousands of pounds at a time. Never, ever discuss payments via email and call the person you normally deal with to ask if any change is val...


Mark Croft Solicitor: The age of the firm's logo should not influence your decision. It's like finding a dentist that still accepts NHS patients!

Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: This is actually more significant than you might first think. For today's article we will be talking about Conveyancers who are regulated by the https: www.clc-uk.org " Council for Licensed Conveyancers< a> (CLC), and Solicitors who are regulated by the Solicitors ...


EMD Law LLP: We've also seen some search results for this firm under 'Hastings' and 'Maidstone' as those are much larger cities near their offices. We tend not to quote any provided testimonials in these articles. (Lots of people smiling, looking at paperwork, and the obligatory handshak...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Google has changed so that sometimes you have to enter in the full name of a firm and it's location in order to see reviews - e.g. The website offers a comprehensive overview of the legal services the firm provides, including commercial law, employment law, family law, litig...


Eatons Solicitors: The negative comments seem to be mostly related to house purchases. We don't think the age of the brand should sway you. So a quick note on navigation is required. Domain names are only around £10-£15 a year, so we don't understand why so many property firms don'...


Drummond Miller LLP: These snippets above are from a Drummond Miller testimonial page and whilst all the comments are clearly going to be positive (we've seen only one firm that posted both positive and negative reviews on their own site) they don't actually tell you much about the past client...

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: We have noticed that Google has been switching to more local targeting so if you can't get reviews to show up for a firm try entering the town name as well (e.g. The firm's branding is Cullimore Dutton (not Cullimore and Dutton) which are two unique names so nearly all missp...


Crockett & Co Solicitors: So what are people saying on those forums? class="infoquote "still helping me to this day" "very professional, helpful and efficient" "made the process less stressful through excellent communication" "supported me through the hardest times"< div> The maj...


Cook Legal Ltd: But as they typically only post the positive comments - you don't get to see any potential negative themes if they exist. Like when a new food item is trying to go viral, they'll push the idea of it belonging to a certain area. With todays video chat and secure online docume...

Bridge McFarland LLP: Always bear these sorts of things in mind. One thing to remember though is that when a firm has multiple offices you often have to type in the company name and location to see any reviews. class="infoquote "Our solicitors are ... So what are previous clients saying? C...


Brian Barr Solicitors: Google has been moving towards a more local setup for reviews though, so sometimes you have to enter the location of the company as well as the name - e.g. class="infoquote "Funding your case may well be very straightforward through your existing legal expenses cover ...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Over the past few decades the number of law firms merging, changing branding, or increasing the number of brands they work under has grown considerably.

Backhouse Solicitors: etc. (That's mighty praise from our Scottish firm!)

Two Harcourt Buildings: A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible representation. Clarity for the public should be just as important to the Bar Standards Council but, at the moment at least, it does not seem to be. These variant firms are separate teams of barris...
