WYM Legal Ltd: The official site we link to above is www.wymlegal.com and www.wymlegal.co.uk does not currently redirect there. So what things can be useful? First it should be noted that not all firms stating they deal with Property matters are actual firms of solicitors. cl...


Wolf Law Solicitors: That brings up the point to always be extra careful if you are dealing with a property matter. Wolf Law show a mix of abilities with solicitor Nadeem Akhtar qualifying as such in 1999 and Lyndsy Sword joining the profession in 2019. 'wolf law solicitors wirral'...

Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "For more information on our services please call 01274 652 555"< div> On that point we should cover some notes about navigation generally since leaving a review on the wrong firm is not the only problem that can arise if you're not careful onl...


Walker Foster Solicitors: So what can you do? There are several independent ways of checking up on a firm but you're going to have to do some leg work rather than rely on the firm to tell you what you want to know. That does not dismiss the great qualities of smaller or even newer firms that mi...


UVS Law: https: www.legislation.gov.uk ukpga 1971 77 contents" The Act< a> also exempts individuals who have the right of abode in the UK from immigration control. class="infoquote "Opening up borders and welcoming diverse perspectives not only enriches cultures and economi...


TWB Probate Solicitors: So what's the difference between using a firm like this and simply buying a "Will Kit" off Amazon? Certainly the immediate cost to you will be far less as it costs much less for one of these kits than to hire a professional. class="infoquote "TWB Probate Solicitors...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: To start with, Google is trying to be stricter on review searches, so these days you sometimes have to type in the city of the firm along with the name to get reviews to show up (e.g. With the firm having generic terms in the branding it does mean you're less likely to get t...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: They do use some of the wording we mentioned before, such as: class="infoquote "Our team of experienced solicitors who are specialists in their particular areas of law have a deep understanding of the legal system"< div> Most firms will claim the same. Conveyanc...


Sternberg Reed LLP: class="infoquote "The firm merged with David Charnley & Co in 2007, TNT Kelly Solicitors in 2009 and TNT Solicitors in 2011."< div> One thing to note if you are researching any firm is that Google has changed how it displays information and you typically have to...


Solidaire Solicitors: So a resource that gives you actual dates to compare is well worth keeping in mind. Google keeps changing how it displays reviews though. Above are some snippets from those. But if we entered "solidaire luton" the correct firm showed up because Google still have the ...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: For legal professionals such as solicitors, paralegals, or barristers chambers this is not always easy. With this, you can always check the experience and expertise of the solicitor you're interested in. Ideally what people want is a small personal firm, with the resources...


PCS Legal Ltd: If you look up the average star ratings for the top 10 property firms in the UK you will find most of them end up with that sort of number. We are a firm of Property Lawyers and Probate Practitioners regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers"< div> That snippe...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: The official website is www.oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk matching the branding which is also very helpful.

SG Murphy Solicitors: Those are all great things to be as a law firm, but certainly there are no firms claiming to be the opposite. 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. When was t...


MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: class="infoquote "MPG have developed an international capability to handle all the financial, commercial, contractual and engineering aspects of any project, from inception to completion and beyond."< div> Unlike the law firms we cover on this site, there are un...

Crockett & Co Solicitors: According to our poll a few years back, 91% of you would skip the company-provided testimonials and go straight to an independent comment board such as Google, Facebook, or Trustpilot. Google has changed how you find reviews though so if you can't see anything pop up when s...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: 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 a firm of Blackpool Solicitors working across the Fylde Coast, including Lytham, Cleveleys, Bispham, Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood who are ow...


McCarthy + Co LLP: That's terrible and we'll explain more about why later. McCarthy's site does state some of the awards won including a few from the Irish Law Awards. In the end, all it showed us was the address and phone number for McCarthy & Co. At the moment Google seem to have changed th...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: We will keep you updated every step of the way throughout your case and fully informed on the cost."< div> The claims about how well a firm does with their clients can also be checked up on independently.

Lyons Solicitors: Lyons do this as well, but the majority of people (in fact, everyone we know) prefers to read the comments left on public boards such as Google, Trustpilot or Facebook. But since there are no firms claiming the opposite (i.e. How old the brand name of a firm has zero bearing...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: These days you can find a solicitor specialising in anything from Criminal Law to Housing Disrepair. That's the difference to watch for. For example managing director Liliya Scott qualified in 2007, Jasmin Bugg in 2018, Lubov Galyarnyk in 2006, right up to Olena Lux who joi...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: They have a wide range of user-side information such as alternate contact details, any different trading names, areas of law covered, and even languages spoken within the company. Most of the time when firms are bought over or merge they also merge or drop one of the names...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: So if you have flicked through a dozen firms saying they are experts in family matters, how can you tell which is best - or at least best for you? For example, this quote above taken from the Kee Solicitor's website sounds great. The property conveyancing market has been p...


Horsley Law: Their official site is at www.horsleylaw.co.uk but be aware that the .com version does not redirect you there. Pay special attention if the firm you're looking into handles property matters because they are often targeting by fraudsters and https: www.ncsc.gov.uk collectio...

Harrison's Solicitors: We had to look up individual listing information and reviews for each individual office.

Guardian Law: https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 471765 guardian-law-limited" For this firm< a> you'll see the two principal solicitors Claire Scanlan and Nichola Elenor qualified in 2003 and 2002 respectively. Almost obsessed. At the time of writing we could only find a total...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: If you look up the reviews of some of the largest conveyancing firms in the UK, you'll see many have an average of only 3 or even just 2 stars. This is especially true when it comes to property transactions. This is because most people get frustrated with property sales. Als...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: This firm is covered by The Law Society of England & Wales which we have long praised for having the best user-side data offering. class="infoquote "Our team of industry experts have been brought together to create a client focused business which understands our clie...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: Obviously the first point of call for most people are the review boards such as Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, etc. When searching for information on Google these days you may need to enter a specific location such as 'girlings solicitors ashford' otherwise reviews ...


Frei Solicitors: Because when you target a very small market of individuals with your services, getting feedback publicly can take a lot longer. For any given area we might displays results for a general high street solicitor next to a direct access barrister or a specialist non-solicitor so...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: This isn't as big an issue for this firm as their case range focuses on business commercial law matters. The majority of scams the past several years have all focused on https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: 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 Regulation Authority (SRA). Every property firm will make a pr...


England & Derbyshire LLP: We did struggle with Google a bit when trying to find information. Therefore adding extra terms such as "solicitors" or "guildford" may be a good idea . If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591284 england-derbyshire-llp?Solicitors=True" check th...


EMD Law LLP: That's not for the same reason many of you stated in our poll last year - i.e. That of a sizeable, high street office with experienced professionals - but not in the old style of solicitors some of us might remember from the pre-2000s. So we would mark this one down as very...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: The comments and reviews seem mostly positive: class="infoquote "took the time to explain the entire process clearly and concisely" "exceptionally helpful and patient with us, there was a lot that we didn't understand" "about to use them again in a property sale" ...


Eatons Solicitors: But there won't be a 150 year old guru sat behind a desk monitoring everything. Firms will try to express experience in many ways. It's common for some of the largest, most popular conveyancing firms in the country to have 2 or 3 star average ratings. It's important to note...


Drummond Miller LLP: We can't even link you to a page with information, only https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=drummond+miller&Postcode=&type=firm" to a search results page< a> which at the time of writing was pushing information off the edges of the mobile device. Clients also...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: Not least because it can cover every single area of law from family disputes to an argument with a shop keeper. Pay attention to the site you're on and always ring the number you have if not sure. Although, you don't get much information from the latter. 'dispute' and 'resol...


Defank Solicitors: Their site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details in the contact form. It's much harder to find firms that list general costs for other matters because of how varied they can be. Defank Solicitors https: defanksolicitors.com 1_21_fess-wills-probate.html" doe...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: The downside to having a wealth of choice is of course ... Always be vigilant over which site you are on and always ring the official number you have if unsure.. If you look up a dozen or so law firms that handle property matters, you'll find most of them have negativ...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: You may have already noticed many of them use similar sales language and images. The official main site is www.bakerhardman.co.uk but the .com version does not redirect you there. But it can result in having to wait for callbacks as the paralegal goes between you and the sol...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: So it's not as dramatic as on first glance. The firm today is Cullimore Dutton Solicitors and hopefully we'll be able to enlighten you a little bit about firms that handle property matters as well. They've also ensured www.cullimoredutton.com redirects to the main site www...


Cook Legal Ltd: Google has changed how you find reviews of firms on their search though. People are always quick to post a review of the last pizza place they just ate at. Unlike the Scottish and Irish law societies, the Law Society of England & Wales provide a great user-side database incl...


Calio Claims: As the rules and regulations and guidelines flew around constantly changing - plus with government, law courts, and regulatory bodies constantly disagreeing with each other - it became easier for law firms to have a separate marketing brand. It's just that the Calio Claims b...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: But according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you put any stock in company provided reviews. But this is true for most reviews about law firms and is something you should bear in mind when trying to get an overview from review sections. If you've been through a few o...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: You need to find the things that set firms apart from each other, not what just sounds good on a webpage next to an image of lawyers smiling and shaking hands. That's why most people turn to the independent comment boards such as Google , Trustpilot or Facebook rather than ...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Photos of people in suits smiling and shaking hands with bits of paper in their hands are very nice, but they don't help you decide one firm from the other. Some people have handed over the entire deposit of their house to a fraudulent bank account simply because they receiv...


Brian Barr Solicitors: The majority of English and Welsh firms are listed on the site so it's a simple and quick way to check if the firm and it's solicitors are actually likely to be experienced and specialising rather than simply saying so on their website. There are plenty which simply string o...


Backhouse Solicitors: It's a firm we've worked with for many years but I hope that if you've read even just a few of our other review articles - you'll realise we don't let anything cloud the editorial reports of firms. Because if you see a rival firm with only 5 reviews that's actually 'normal...


Amy King Legal: Today's article covers an area of legal services there's probably a fair misunderstanding about. It's a good sentiment. Certainly when confronted with a very friendly 5-year experienced solicitor after just speaking to an incredibly curt 40-year veteran - you will be tempted...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: There are other sources you can use to get background information. If firm says they have been established for over 150 years for example, that doesn't mean there is a 150 year old guru solicitor sitting behind the desk running everything. So if anyone knows about la...


A City Law Firm Ltd: So for any firm you're able to see for yourself whether there is a decent amount of experience individually and collaboratory in the firm you're thinking of using. We've seen a lawyer with a 5 star review for their 'new italian menu' and a 1 star rating for a Criminal Law ...


Two Harcourt Buildings: class="infoquote "We welcome instructions from professional clients in both public and private practice to undertake privately funded, direct access and legal aid work."< div> Thankfully, Two Harcourt Buildings try to make up for this with plenty of descriptions...
