Youngs Solicitors: They list related trading names, all office locations, languanges spoken, case types handled, and even the years qualified and areas of law targeted by each individual solicitor within a firm. As we've said before, that should really provide a best-of-both-worlds situation ...


Woodstock Legal Services: We highly recommend checking any firm you're considering against their information. They brag about their ancient foundation dates and the number of offices. The current official website is www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk but www.woodstocklegalservices.com does not curren...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: We recently found out consumers also actually enjoy such articles about previous cases a firm has handled. We've seen a sad trend for solicitors to start listing their favourite foods and pet's names in their profiles. The most important figure we think people should focus o...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: The article we wrote just before this one was about a solicitor with 5 star reviews for being an excellent dog-friendly restaurant. 'trust' and 'inheritance'. Unfortunately the temptation to utilise marketing language on any company's site always seems to be too much for t...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: Agnieszka is listed as an Immigration specialist and has extra accreditation for such matters from the Law Society as well. For example, if you've just been through a messy divorce, sued your employer, or declared bankruptcy - your first thought isn't going to be abo...


Stephanie Heijdra: She also has an LLM in Legal Practice."< div> You'll find that barristers are much more embedded in the legal process which is why their photos are often of them in wigs and robes whilst solicitor websites are more likely stock photos of people in various coloured sh...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "We are a member of the Immigration Law Practitioners Association (ILPA)"< div> So with Thaxted Legal immigration services being overseen by the OISC, members of the ILPA, registered as a limited company with https: find-and-update.company-inf...

Smith and Graham Solicitors: A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'. They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see . Smith and Graham have 'Team' pages with profiles of their staff including experience and areas of practice which is g...


Taylor Price Solicitors: TaylorPrice Solicitors https: taylorprice.co.uk our-team.html" tick all those boxes< a> and have avoided going over the top such as listing their pet's names and favourite film titles. These should ideally - according to us - have a photo, brief work history, a list of sp...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: They usually include words like 'modern', 'friendly', or 'one of the leading' which all sound great but actually don't tell you anything about the firm itself. Retaining a smaller local brand name for each area can make a huge difference. So if a firm accepts Legal Aid clien...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are a modern and progressive law firm, and operate a new legal services business model"< div> Unfortunately this statement on the Summerfield Browne website is one that you'll probably have already seen on a dozen others you've flicked throu...


Stowe Family Law: class="infoquote "Whatever you’re facing as a family, in whatever shape yours is, was, or will be, we’ll be here to listen to what you have to say and help with what you need to do."< div> To verify claims of whether a firm really does listen to clients, mo...


Stenfield Solicitors: That was across all companies and some stated product testimonials as being untrustworthy as well. class="infoquote "Specialising in a wide range of practice areas including commercial litigation, company commercial, residential property, commercial property, insolvenc...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Apparently it seems to be quite easy to https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud invoice-scams.html#:~:text=Fraudsters%20can%20send%20scam%20emails,rush%20you%20to%20pay%20up." convince people to hand over their whole house deposit< a> to a f...


Simper Law Ltd: (Something companies tend not to include in their own testimonial section!) Negative reviews can be a great way to spot general themes of complaint. These issues only tend to become problematic when the law office in question handles things such as property matters whe...


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. Whilst the majority of articles we write are aimed at informing general consumers about legal practices or available resources to h...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: It's very common. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 464412 reynolds-macdonald" check out the page< a> for any firm on their site you should be able to see all office locations, any alternate trading names, languages spoken, case specialties, and the q...


Richmond Legal Ltd: It also states fluency in Urdu and Punjabi as well as English. So whilst it's easy to find the confirmation of expertise and experience from places like the law society - it's unfortunately not been long enough for a good amount of public reviews to be available on the web...


Rose Fendlen Law: On that last one: class="infoquote "Specialising in: ... class="infoquote "your case will be handled diligently, sensitively, and with the care and compassion it deserves"< div> To check up on statements such as this one, people usually turn to the public...


Pump Court Chambers: secretaries and other support staff."< div> That brief but good description found https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Barristers_in_England_and_Wales" on Wikipedia< a> indicates that, much more than with a solicitor, you are working with an individual barrister within a gro...


Penerley Lawyers: The quote above is from the website of a Commercial Law specialist called Penerley , based in Islington. 'Less-stuffy' is a phrase we're seeing pop up more and more in newer firm's sales pitches about their services. Unfortunately this has not really spread to law fir...


Pacific Law: However, to state 'pay no attention to this reviewer, they are just a sore loser' has never felt like something they could pull off and look good doing. Always check. Being able to communicate through Whatsapp or other text services has been seen. But sadly the confusion ove...


OneLaw Chambers: Direct Access, or Public Access as it's sometimes known, allows members of the public to skip that step and hire a barrister directly. Personally, we think people leaving negative reviews for those reasons completely undermines the whole goal of review forums. Ac...


My Law Matters: Sometimes they operate using both the original and new trading names simultaneously. This can sometimes cause search issues but the variants we tried such as 'my legal matters' still brought up the correct firm . The titular Nicholas Fentiman qualified in 1979, with various...


Milners Solicitors: If you saw someone posting a negative review about Pizza Hut saying 'they wouldn't sell me a Big Mac!' - you'd think they were a little nuts. class="infoquote "At Milners solicitors we offer a free initial consultation where you can speak to a member of our specialist ...


Michael Leighton Jones: When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people are far less likely to share their feelings about their messy divorce than they are about the restaurant they just ate at. Because the firm deals with conveyancing matters we would recommend bookmarki...


Mckie Legal: It's very common even for firms with decades of history to have less than a handful of online reviews about them. We've covered many firms that proudly start off their website's sales pitch with 'as a large city firm ...' or something similar. That may sound like a v...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock Solicitors was an unusual situation for us when it came to deciding on whether to add them to our network. Mason Bullock have also tried to raise awareness of the terrible injustice of CCJs in recent years ever since an online claims process has allowed ...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: The full www.mackenziejones.co.uk and .com are both for a recruitment firm so no mixups expected there. Please remember to forgive law-related websites that use a lot of the same language or that make claims that practically every other law firm is making as well. The ...


Lindsays Solicitors: Whenever we consider a firm for adding to our network there are several checks we perform to ensure we're not recommending a fraudulent or fake firm. But in recent years law firms that deal in property matters https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1251363...


Lefevres Law: Scammers typically target law firm clients that are intending to send large sums of money such as a deposit in a house purchase. The age of the firm's branding is irrelevant and often a very tenuous claim anyway. That can make them sound a little more formal: class="in...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: As the firm we're talking about here deals exclusively in Estate Planning matters , this isn't as much of a concern. But they are not a cheaper version of the same service. where the majority are all like this and very positive . So how can you tell 'good low-cost help' fr...


Khan Law: So Khan Law clearly stating the actual award is therefore quite a rarity and should not be overlooked. The majority of people would imagine there's a significant difference between a Motor Offence specialist and a general practice solicitor trying the same case. 100% com...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: One of the best resources we always recommend people use when researching law offices and solicitors is any available local law society website. Prior to this date the law firm was called JPS Legal Ltd. Rather than delve into a few specific topics at length, today's article ...

The Legal Practice Ltd: The majority were clearly positive and a huge number focused on praising clear communication from the staff. This firm https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 453772 the-legal-practice-ltd" is registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is wonderful ...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: The largest property firm in England Wales currently has a rating of just under 3 stars on Google with over 1,000 reviews. class="infoquote "worked tirelessly in what turned out to be a very complicated sale" "we felt supported and informed throughout the whole p...


HooperHyde: class="infoquote "Ultimately, we want you to be fully satisfied with the service we provide and if you're not, we want to know about it so that we can understand how we can do better."< div> The main thing people tend to focus on when researching a firm online is...


Hill House Chambers: On some occasions this can mean you're paying two firms for the job one could do. But it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the scam of ' https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" phishing< a>' and maybe read a few articles about https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org...


Hawkridge & Company: class="infoquote "We are a specialist legal firm providing a range of services in the Medway town of Gillingham"< div> This quote from the firm's website is a selection of words that sound good but are almost meaningless to consumers because every single law firm'...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: (10x3=30) So do pay attention to wording. class="infoquote "With our estate agency and property conveyancing teams under one roof, we offer a seamless transition from initial valuation and marketing through negotiation and conclusion of the contract to the conveyancin...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: The most common typo we'd expect of www.frasercoogans.co.uk .com also does not seemed to be owned by the firm either. If you look at the last quoted positive review above you'll see that there were problems with the house sale but the client did not lay all their fru...


Fair Result Ltd: As if on seeing 'established in 1821' on a law firm's site, the general public will believe a 200 year old solicitor is sat on a throne somewhere in the office imparting sage advice to junior members. Typically we haven't used any of the services of the firms we write articl...


Education Law Service Ltd: and in phone contact throughout"< div> If you typically like a bit more before parting with any cash though, luckily there is a growing trend amongst legal practices to offer free consultations. One last point made on the firm's website: class="infoquote "We adv...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: That's a decent offer by comparison. John Houghton at this firm qualified in 1975, Rajesh Nair in 1999, right up to Abhishek Benjamin in 2014. Unfortunately such terms are actually unhelpful because no firm is going to claim to be 'draconian', 'novices', 'in-experience...


DV Solicitors: For example their Blog section is not just another excuse to push out extra sales pitches. A few articles back we covered a law firm that had a 5 star review for being such a great dog-friendly restaurant. However these ancient establishment date claims are mostly ju...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There are plenty of things we might change about the legal industry, but all in all - CMCs still have a place in it just as much as search engines, directories, and even small local referral setups like ours in order to get people legal help. . Then there are firms that h...


David Stinson & Co: class="infoquote "David Stinson & Co is a trading name of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd"< div> A quick note on navigation for this brand as well. No win, no fee means that if the case loses you have nothing to pay. We've already covered two branding options wi...


Cooks Solicitors: The experience levels of the solicitor running your case is the most crucial number out of the two. As in the previous article, Cooks Solicitors are also a trading name of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd . Whilst many firms provide testimonials on their websites, these are not ...


CEL Solicitors: The C-E-L part stands for Cheshire Estates and Legal Limited if you see any reviews about that firm, company data, or https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 598341 cheshire-estate-and-le...


Catteralls Solicitors: We're not a fan of is this idea of ancient establishment dates because it can so easily be misleading. No seriously. Thousands of people have lost millions of pounds to these fraudsters. class="infoquote "very polite and explained everything to us in detail" ...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: With all this going for them, it was therefore strange to see the firm having an absolutely huge amount of negative reviews on the regular boards such as https: www.google.com search?q=qualitysolicitors+burton+%26+co&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=QualitySolicitors+B...


Brown and Co Solicitors: So hopefully from all this you'll see our decision to have Brown&Co added to the network was not without merit. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 509558 brown-and-co-solicitors" check the page for this firm< a> you'll see contact details, case types cover...


Bridge McFarland LLP: If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today looking for a good match for legal help , you'll probably be frustrated by the similar sounding sales language and even similar looking images. Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly v...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: Why people fall for that and don't call their solicitor to check before sending tens of thousands of pounds - we don't know. There were also several comments about how fast the process had been whether for a property sale or immigration matter. We've been reviewing law firms...


BLZ Solicitors: If you look at the page for https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 6833 blz-limited" this firm< a> you'll see there are only two solicitors working within it, with just over a decade's experience between them. www.blzsolicitors.co.uk is the official site we link to ab...


Bilkus & Boyle: Never discuss payment or bank details via email. Be aware that no genuine web address can have an ampersand such as www.bilkus&boyle.com and none of the name-only variants such as www.bilkusboyle.com or the .co.uk's seem to be owned by anyone. We always advise reading actu...


Bell Lax Solicitors: In fact for most of them no comments were left at all - just a low star rating which we always think is just plain unhelpful. The majority of people want to check out public review boards such as https: www.google.com search?q=bell+lax+solicitors&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB92...


Beers LLP: But we didn't see such a solicitor named as working at this firm. This is understandable because seeing any negative reviews can often reveal a lot about a firm . The official website we link to above is www.beersllp.com but www.beersllp.co.uk does not redirect you there. I...


Aspire Licensing: Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. They are therefore not registered with the Law Society of England & Wales or the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). class="infoquote "We can take your initial instructions,...


Argue & Co Legal: It was only five years ago that a solicitor said to me 'that internet thing? no, we don't do that'. we will correspond with you using whatever platform suits you best ... You can read an article here where we cover the 'why' on that one. if you would rather correspond via ph...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: One we saw last week was particularly odd because the complaint was about a criminal law firm that refused to handle a 'simple injury claim!'. class="infoquote "Our solicitors will keep you up to date with the progress of your claim throughout and will answer any quest...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: That doesn't mean we're just another directory with hundreds of high street firms competing for space on our pages. But you may get some useful extra bits of info nonetheless. Plus alternative legal assistance such as barristers through the new Direct Access scheme. There ar...
