Woodstock Legal Services: It stands to reason though. Whilst there is a definite 'perfect professional' curve between experience and age, the fact this firm has qualified people from across the last five decades is clearly a good sign. Commentaries from other businesses willing to stamp their...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: That in itself is a positive sign not to be dismissed . We've seen a sad trend for solicitors to start listing their favourite foods and pet's names in their profiles. It has not kept up with the rise in regular inflation fees at all. ULA list positive quotes from peers on ...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: 'trust' and 'inheritance'. For many case types people absolutely want a niche firm such as for Motor Offences, Immigration or Debt Recovery.

Richmond Legal Ltd: A quick note on navigation though as when we tried searching for information around the web about this firm, Google wasn't the most helpful. Sadly the tradition of 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours for solicitors still holds true today for many firms in the UK. At the ti...


Rose Fendlen Law: None of the variants we tried such as www.rflaw.co.uk or www.lroselaw.com seemed to be owned by the firm. However whilst there may be a multitude of case titles within an area of law - it is still one area of law . Housing Disrepair & Other Litigation"< div> Statement...

Penerley Lawyers: If they do open later and at least some weekends, that's a bigger deal than you might think. Even helping you register as a limited company is not the sole discretion of lawyers. For some reason, thousands of people have easily fallen for this. The official site we link to a...


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...

My Law Matters: class="infoquote "Our head office was established in 1986"< div> Compared to the huge number of legal offices claiming 'established in 1881' or even older dates, this claim of '1986' seems almost new. There's also frequent bad comments from people who's case was ...

Lindsays Solicitors: Lindsays are under The Law Society of Scotland, but we're sad to say the Scottish site is far outdone by English Welsh version. So in true internet-style, those people came onto the review boards to bad-mouth the firm assigned to sell the property. Their own website is...

Fair Result Ltd: The legal industry is awash with firms boasting 200+ year old histories. So is Fair Result's claim just vague sales jargon? Well, no. yet. That's where we saw that the firm was pretty new. For example many firms claim to be 'one of the leading ...' whatevers in ...

Bridge McFarland LLP: Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site.

Bilkus & Boyle: You can then click the links of solicitor's names to see some more personal details such as case expertise. The forty years Bilkus Boyle quote is therefore very reasonable and an understandable sort of figure. Quite often it's the fault of the buyer seller or the other par...


Bell Lax Solicitors: Cards on the table - we obviously like Bell Lax Solicitors , otherwise we wouldn't have added them to our database of searchable solicitors. Bell Lax don't do this, which is probably just as well because in our poll last year only 8% of you said you trusted company-provided...

Aspire Licensing: Much more than a firm that only covers a handful of such cases each month as part of their general commercial legal work. Whilst we often discuss the pros and cons of using specialists, we usually are talking about firms that handle Business Law compared to a firm that tries...


Argue & Co Legal: i.e. Be clear though: no win, no fee only means that if you lose there are no fees. (And I'm missing a couple of those.) It's just that unlike reviewing the food or service at a restaurant - people are not nearly as quick to share their experience of being defended in crimin...
