Youngs Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our specialisation in our key areas make us experts rather than 'jack of all trades'."< div> Areas of law that a firm handles is also something you can usually confirm on the Law Society website, right down to each individual solicitor's chosen a...
Woodstock Legal Services: But please read on and see if you would agree. There was also only one similarly named firm of Woodstock Solicitors. class="infoquote "You will find us approachable, straight-forward and responsive."< div> Unfortunately there is often a lot of sales-pitchy langu...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: That in itself is a positive sign not to be dismissed . Reading between the lines, it's probably safe to assume they have confidence in their expertise and experience to handle such tasks. The simplest way to check on the expertise, experience, and 'specialist' status of an...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: So why might you pick a niche firm like Trust Inheritance Ltd over your local high street firm that covers estate matters as well? If you want to get more solid figures about the actual experience of solicitors within any law firm, you can usually get it from their lo...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: So when you see very few or even zero reviews for a law practice - that's not a negative sign. For Trojan they list Agnieszka Tomasikiewicz as having qualified in 2012 and Rameez Dar in 2017. class="infoquote "In the fast changing, increasingly complex and highly polit...
The Legal Practice Ltd: Today's article uses a firm actually called 'The Legal Practice' which is based in Wembley Park, Greater London. There is also a huge amount of people that leave negative reviews about the other side's solicitor during a house transaction which seems incredibly unfair becaus...
Stephanie Heijdra: class="infoquote "She went on to study for a Degree in Business Management at BPP University London in aid of her thriving immigration practice Winvolved Consultancy Ltd."< div> So far the obvious indication is Stephanie is both well educated and entrepreneuri...
Taylor Price Solicitors: We've seen them get one star ratings from people who are angry at a criminal defence firm refusing to take their divorce case. (No, really. But there are still plenty of lawyers charging fees right from the start for other case types. . Well give you some tips on how to tel...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Also be aware that ampersands cannot be in web addresses so there will never be a www.swain&co.com .co.uk address. For a start there are hardly any law firms left willing to work under Legal Aid. Young and Co have their own branded location though so any research is p...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Many still might prefer that official office visit when it comes to legal matters, but for businesses that might need to check in with their solicitor several times a year over various commercial law matters - utilising the time-saving technology of video chat is not j...
Thaxted Legal Ltd: We've written over 200+ articles on legal service providers in the UK with tips on what to look for when trying to get legal help, resources you can use, and things to avoid. You never know what scammers will think of next..
So if there are no official good places to ...
Stowe Family Law: A large firm that gives you a free interview to discuss your case and costs before making you sign the dotted line is actually rarer than you might think . The official site we link to above is www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk with www.stowefamilylaw.com not currently showing any f...
Stenfield Solicitors: The majority preferred to read comments on third party forums such as Google Reviews, Yell, Trustpilot or Yelp.
class="infoquote "83% of new clients are recommended to us through word of mouth"< div>
A quick note on navigation because although we link to the offic...
Springle & Co Solicitors:
At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without leaving a will . This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are already dealing with the death itself.
Best of luck in your search!
. The first port of call we usually recommend to he...
Smith and Graham Solicitors:
That's becomes even more important to remember due to the firm handling property matters which have been hit but huge amounts of fraud in recent years.
A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'. We've seen law firms with 5 star reviews for their f...
Simper Law Ltd: There are others as well in between those dates providing a good mix of seasoned experience alongside fresh legs and ideas. It also has a few quirks that will allow us to discuss important things to pay attention to when researching the best firm for your specific needs. ...
The Search Bureau: After more than twenty years of working in the legal industry, we've built up quite a network of connections, followers, and business partners. There are some testimonials printed on the firm's website of course:
class="infoquote "Very prompt and efficient service es...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: It boggles the mind. So despite the firm only have a decade and a half of existence, the firm itself has just over fifty years worth of experience within it. Reynolds Macdonald are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have the mo...
Richmond Legal Ltd: The most common typos we'd expect would obviously be www.richmondlegal.co.uk and the .com and neither of them are owned by this company either. Our first impression of Richmond Legal was a curiousity regarding their chosen case range. 'Jack of all trades, master of none' spr...
Rose Fendlen Law: Personal Injury ... Only actual solicitors will be regulated by the SRA so if a firm does not have a statement such as this one on their website then you need to check further as to whether they are a genuine law firm or just a call centre who will take your details and sell...
Pump Court Chambers: Again, though, a little thing like this impresses us because so many law firms don't bother spending the extra £5 to buy related domains to help protect their clients from easy fraud (which we'll cover in a second).
class="infoquote "Chambers are groups of barristers...
Penerley Lawyers: 'Less-stuffy' is a phrase we're seeing pop up more and more in newer firm's sales pitches about their services. Obviously during lockdown though everything is a bit haywire. But so far we've not seen anything too extreme such as beanbag chairs in the conference room. We've b...
Pacific Law: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty year experienced lawyer that joined a new legal practice starting up in their area.
class="infoquote "Here at Pacific Law, we have embraced the modern wo...
OneLaw Chambers: Prior to this, if you needed a barrister to represent you in an actual court you would need to hire a solicitor who would then hire one on your behalf. There are several independent review boards online such as https: www.google.com search?q=onelaw+chambers&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-...
My Law Matters: It's certainly something to bear in mind. Bad firms will tend to just close down and start up a brand new operation to make sure they get completely away from the negative press. My Law Matters do display customer reviews on their website:
class="infoquote "They are fa...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: The last two though could mean a range of things but usually that they've added up all the years of experience of all the staff together. As Natalie isn't mentioned on the law practice's site or on the Law Society website at the time of writing this, we hope the firm at leas...
Milners Solicitors: After more than a week of reviewing specialist firms, we're getting back to a more regular general practice setup with Milners Solicitors.
class="infoquote "with our combined strength and determination we are always committed to delivering the results you need."< div>...
Michael Leighton Jones: Others include Peter FitzGerald who joined the UK legal system in 1996, right up to Sarah Price in 2003. What can you use?
class="infoquote "With offices in Bargoed and Tredomen, Ystrad Mynach, near Caerphilly in South Wales, the firm has over 40 years experience in ...
Mckie Legal: Freqently there are phrases which sound good like 'we're friendly' - but then you think, 'well, what firm is going to say anything different?'.
Knowing the correct name for a firm is also useful when background checking about them as that will be the name registered wit...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: The most obvious mistake people might make because it's a law firm is to try searching for 'Mason & Bullock' instead. This can be compared to a Will and how it is worded and the way the finances are passed on in order to ensure your family receive it rather than the bulk goi...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Put that all together though, and it backs up the firm's claim on their website:
class="infoquote "with the vast majority of our work being generated from returning clients ... The things we use to evaluate a firm are probably things most potential clients do as wel...
Lindsays Solicitors: To get a wider view that includes negative opinions. But also several more recent additions such as Ben Doherty (qualified in 2004) and Douglas Roberts (2008). People who take your details and sell them on to actual firms to do the work. However on Google we saw the firm onl...
Lefevres Law:
The only reason this might cause concern to some people is because of the huge number of law firms still making ancient founding date claims such as 'established in 1881'. Here is what they said about him:
class="infoquote "A Fellow of the Association of Personal...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: You are only getting what you pay for.
The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen from such organisations. The official site which we link to above is www.krsep.co.uk with www.krsep.com not redirecting there. Such as:
class="in...
Khan Law: But the number of firms being clear about what that means is far fewer. People have lost £millions over the past decade
Jacobs Law Solicitors: However www.jacobslaw.co.uk is owned by a different firm (not an existing legal practice) and www.jacobslaw.com is owned by a law office in the USA. Which also means having worked with thousands of professionals within that industry during that time.
class="infoquote "...
HooperHyde: Motoring Offences and Divorce clients have tended to be that way for many years. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 164931 catherine-louise-hyde" check the page for< a> Catherine herself as well, you'll see a qualification date in 2011. There are national, ...
Hill House Chambers: As Hill House Chambers puts it:
class="infoquote "The Direct Access (or Public Access) scheme allows members of the public to instruct an authorised barrister directly ... they are qualified to ...
A quick note on navigation. If you weren't aware - we are now qui...
Hawkridge & Company: That's because whilst people are quite happy to jump online and rave about their new toaster, they aren't so quick to discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, debts, or criminal defence case.
class="infoquote "you will be able to talk through your options with a knowledge...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: For all we know they called Fultons about a divorce case and was refused representation.
The firm does cover Wills, Probate and Power of Attorney matters as well. For example, if a solicitor has a client who pulls out of a deal last minute, the person that got 'gazump...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: This statement:
class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans encourage staff to gain their full potential"< div>
at the very end of their About Us page might also sound like a throwaway bit of sales jargon. You can get a 1-year novice from a 200-year old firm.
With so ma...
Fair Result Ltd: You could get a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 200 year old company and a 40-year experienced expert working at a 1-year old law firm. But maybe it's a very, very convincing fraudulent email lacking the usual African General hallmarks. There will be no cost to you for thi...
Education Law Service Ltd: Therefore the number of firms helping in those areas are much fewer . However for Special Needs Education Law absolutely the sooner you're talking to someone with the expertise and experience to guide you - the better.. One last point made on the firm's website:

Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent site for this and Dylan Nair & Co just happen to be registered with them.
If you too have already been through dozens of websites today looking for a solicitor to help you with a legal matter, you may have noticed ...
DV Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our top-notch legal services are not limited to UK residents, but we are also delivering superior legal affair services for Pakistani citizens."< div>
As just mentioned, we were looking for firms with international reach. But those are all very...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk:
DisrepairClaim.co.uk specialising in this particular area of law therefore means we're very happy to have them on board . In fact, solicitors themselves https: www.legalfutures.co.uk latest-news solicitor-sanctioned-for-dealing-with-unregulated-cmcs" can be fined an...
David Stinson & Co: That way the solicitor can get their fees costs covered. The main difference between firms on the matter of fees is how they reclaim their own costs should the case win or lose. It can also be to capitalise on the brand name the firm has locally even after merging with a...
Cooks Solicitors: Fortunately all of Young and Co's offices The Law Society of England & Wales which is an excellent resource with a wealth of user side data . Unlike other ser...
CEL Solicitors: We therefore searched the various publications to check up on their claim. Quite often negative ratings are left by the side the law firm beat in court.
So whilst there are negative reviews about this firm too (and some with what sound like very valid complaints) - the...
Catteralls Solicitors: In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk issuing sage advice. You'll note that they have solicitors that have qualified in every decade from the past 40 years including Philip Lisle who qualified in 1981, Julie Burgess (1996), R...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co:
So Yates and Co became QualitySolicitors Yates and Co. The official website for all QS firms is www.qualitysolicitors.com but you need to go to the www.qualitysolicitors.com burtonandco page to see information and contact details for this specific firm. To start off...
Brown and Co Solicitors: So what are people saying about the firm on the independent boards:
class="infoquote "answer phonecalls and reply emails almost immediately and even on weekends"
"never had to call him as he always kept me updated via email or text"
"license was granted on that ve...
Bridge McFarland LLP: has held the Law Society’s quality standard accreditation mark, Lexcel, since 2008 demonstrating its high standards, excellent client service and cost efficient advice."< div>
This sentence on the Bridge McFarland site is much more useful. So what are previous client...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: If you've read any of our other articles before, you'll know that we don't put a lot of stock in 'established in ...' ancient date claims by law firms. So how can you tell if a firm has specialist or jack-of-all solicitors?
class="infoquote "Our team has extensive e...
BLZ Solicitors:
One thing we have frequently quoted as a dislike on law firm's websites is the new wave of them sharing likes, dislikes, hobbies and favourite colours. That's why we have general practice firms along side specialists - as well as alternate solutions such as mediation co...
Bilkus & Boyle: A two hundred year old brand name doesn't have a two hundred year old solicitor dealing with cases. The opposite is also true as Bilkus & Boyle have a 5 star review for serving excellent food and being a dog friendly restaurant. By that we mean they handle conveyancing whi...
Bell Lax Solicitors: That's the type that has several specialist solicitors under one roof. It all depends on the set up. Surely an enviable staff selection for any firm to have? It should hopefully mean wise, seasoned heads but with eager, fresh ideas bouncing around. The public review system...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: Prior to this date the law firm was called JPS Legal Ltd. No win, no fee means there are no fees should your case lose. We aim to maintain our traditional values whilst offering an effective and first class no win no fee service."< div>
Again these statements from the J...
Beers LLP: However, we ran a poll last year and only 8% of you responded that you trust company provided testimonials. But you can always end up with a 1-year-qualified lawyer from the 200-year-old firm in the same way you could be provided a 40-year-guru lawyer from a 1-year-old legal...
Argue & Co Legal: So when you see firms offering such on their website, don't just flick over it like it's nothing . But they really don't. Also some cases such as medical negligence will always have success fees due to their complexity. We've seen a criminal defense firm insulted for not ta...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: The firm we covered yesterday were very explicit about how their divorce experiences had led them to create their alternative mediation service. To us that's a bit of a cheat.
