Youngs Solicitors: Of course, as they have been added to our database of firms we already clearly think they have considerable merit . So because Young and Co deal with conveyancing, it is hugely important to make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. Tha...


Woodstock Legal Services: It stands to reason though. A mix of seasoned heads on fresh legs. Some law firms list hobbies, pets names, and even favourite colours which we think is not only pointless, but a little off putting on a serious legal services site. Commentaries from other businesses willin...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: ULA list positive quotes from peers on their site, which is something we would consider to be much better than customer testimonials. The simplest way to check on the expertise, experience, and 'specialist' status of any firm is through their local law society. The main re...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 495611 trust-inheritance-limited?Solicitors=True" check out the page about< a> this firm on The Law Society of England & Wales' website, you'll be provided with a wide range of data including alternative tradi...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: However you'll also see they handle a few other case types including Family Law and Civil Litigation. For example, for many years now people have been able to hire a barrister direct through the new Public Access scheme. As mentioned before - when it comes to Immigration the...


The Legal Practice Ltd: Indeed at the time of writing this, The Legal Practice's website opens with: class="infoquote "Over 50 Years of Legal Experience. For example searching for both Rickmansworth and Wembley London could provide a better overview. Reading negative reviews may not always pu...


Stephanie Heijdra: studied for a Law Degree at the University of Liverpool and was awarded her LLB (Hons), enabling her to start her bar professional training course (BPTC) whilst simultaneously studying for an LLM in Human Rights Law at Manchester Metropolitan University. We did find Stephani...

Summerfield Browne Solicitors: How do you check that? The best resource we've found so far online is the website for The Law Society of England & Wales. If you check the information https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 546848 summerfield-browne-limited?Solicitors=True" for thi...


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. So how do Thaxted fare on these independent forums? class="infoquote "very thorough and kno...


Taylor Price Solicitors: Word like 'friendly', 'efficient' or 'modern' pop up constantly but don't really help to distinguish that firm from their competitors. that handles nothing by those case types in the hope this gives them the best chance (i.e. class="infoquote "Emails have been sent mis...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. Now we come to a firm with several separate offices but different names for some of them. Young and Co have their own branded location though so any research is probably best served using the actua...


Stowe Family Law: However this statement alone should qualify our decision. Another quick note on navigation would be the website. You have to search for your specific local office to see reviews about it only. Some firms have very little writing with massive images of people shaking h...


Stenfield Solicitors: It's not uncommon for a firm claiming 'founded in the 1800s!' to consist mostly of solicitors with only a couple of years' experience. That was across all companies and some stated product testimonials as being untrustworthy as well. class="infoquote "Our key objective...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Always keep aware of what site you're on and who you're chatting with - either by email or phone. This allows you some insight into whether a firm at least has some genuine experience in that area of law. The first port of call we usually recommend to help start telling th...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: As we only review the legal industry and it's professionals from our experience working with them over the past 20 years - that's the only thing we can comment on. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 20313 smith-graham" check out the page< a> for this firm y...


Simper Law Ltd: But if you want to find out how many years your actual solicitor has behind them, the best resource is their local law society. class="infoquote "outstanding, kind and compassionate" "I received frequent updates and quick responses to questions" "got to the ...


The Search Bureau: That's not the sole basis for us promoting The Search Bureau across our network (check the https: www.searchbureau.co.uk community" page on their charity work< a>). However, as already mentioned at the outset of this piece, there often isn't as much to go on when it comes...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are a firm of Solicitors who specialise in civil litigation. So when a firm lists several case types from workplace accidents to cyclist injury claims - it can seem strange that they refer to themselves as specialists. It's very common. On this occ...


Richmond Legal Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 2503 richmond-legal-ltd" check out the page for a firm< a> you can typically see alternative contact details, staff details, office locations, any alternate trading names, and most importantly - the expertise and qua...


Rose Fendlen Law: The official site we link to above is www.rf-law.co.uk and the old address of www.lrose-law.com redirects there. So what are the third party forums https: www.google.com search?q=Rose+Fendlen+Law+wigan&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsaA6UiOROI_I98lFuvy3JwpYFg0Ag%3A...

Bell Lax Solicitors: To be honest, we didn't read more than a couple and even then we skimmed. This can be very confusing, but 9 times out of 10 the firm is well within it's rights to use the word. class="infoquote "we offer, no win, no fee for all types of Accident & Injury Claims and Me...


Pump Court Chambers: The Pump Court Chambers site is https secure for submitting your personal details online with their contact and callback forms. class="infoquote "Recent changes in the law mean that members of the public, commercial organisations and non-commercial organisation...


Penerley Lawyers: Penerley do have slightly longer opening hours than some firms and we saw one website listing them as having a half day Saturday open too. But so far we've not seen anything too extreme such as beanbag chairs in the conference room. The most common typos we'd expect w...


Pacific Law: We've also seen dozens of negative reviews followed by comments from the firm stating 'this person has never been a client of ours'. But these days we would say that if the firm can't offer video-chat services they are now getting behind the times. At the moment www.pacificl...


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. A https: www.legal500.com how-it-works " list of the qualities and standards< a> each firm on the Legal 500 list has to meet as a b...


My Law Matters: class="infoquote "we always strive to maintain consistently high standards throughout our work and aim to provide the best legal advice available."< div> . However there were some negative comments that really need to be read. My Law Matters do display customer review...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: It wasn't until we researched MJV Solicitors that we realised there was a once-hugely-popular phrase now seemingly missing from the pages of most current law firm websites. We've also seen some sites refer to the firm as MJV & Co Solicitors. Sometimes due to just one officia...


Milners Solicitors: They also handle commercial matters including Business Disputes, Commercial Property, GDPR and Construction Litigation. class="infoquote "Our partners have amassed some seriously heavyweight legal experience working for bigger, more expensive, law firms. So how do the...


Michael Leighton Jones: Some even use identical images of people in suits smiling and shaking hands. MLJ Solicitors are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they are the best out of all such organisation websites we've seen . However this offer seems to be for ...


Mckie Legal: class="infoquote "Ive been asked a few times already 'which Barrister did you use?'"< div> This is a quote from the firm's website relating to a review from another law firm (Scott Rees). We like to see firm's bragging about being a stalwart local fixture. Not v...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: There always are. There are far better paying areas of law which is probably why so few firms get involved. However nothing that reflected negatively on the firm's actual potential services. It's not just a side project either with the firm stating very clearly that ...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: (More on that later.) Staff profiles are something we always recommend law firms to provide and these are excellent examples of the information consumers really want. Because whilst a fairly new legal practitioner can be bolstered by a good support team - there's nothing q...


Lefevres Law: In the same way, under the umbrella of Family Law there is the related case titles of Divorce and Child Custody. For example, Lefevres are listed in the Legal Aid board database. www.lefevres.co.uk brings up nothing and www.lefevres.com is an accountancy firm. The firs...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: There's also Alternative Business Structures (ABS) allowing companies to run law firms rather than it having to be actual solicitors. A quick note on navigation as we're dealing with an acronymed company name and non-branded web address. Only just a couple of decades a...


Khan Law: 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. There is also a Khan Mather, Aina Khan Law, Ali Khan Law, and more. So how can you research a law firm or solicit...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: This can make spotting differences between them to evaluate very difficult. If you've been through several law firm websites already today trying to find one you think might be best for your issue , you'll probably have noticed that many of them use the same sort of languag...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: Again, you would think this to be common practice amongst all firms. The practice of claiming an "established in 1881" foundation is something common to such professional areas including law, accounting, and journalism. Sadly buying or selling a house in England Wales is fra...


HooperHyde: Sometimes you do. The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen across them all. Certainly the parent company CLP has considerable resources behind it and a huge number of well experienced solicitors . HooperHyde obviously stood out t...


Hill House Chambers: At the moment there are only names and the year the person qualified as a barrister. Prior to access being available you had to pay a solicitor to hire a barrister to deal with certain court matters. Why it took so long to make this available to the public in the UK - who kn...


Hawkridge & Company: This includes all known offices, with alternate contact details, any related trading names, staff information, languages spoken, and more. The official website we link to above is www.hawklaw.co.uk with www.hawklaw.com being about some WWII land renovation project. Beca...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: (10x3=30) So do pay attention to wording. They can also arrange to meet you in their sister firm's Gildeas' offices in either Glasgow or Edinburgh city centres if that's better.. Don't just flick through star ratings. Someone wrote that as a review. But we would have thought...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: The LawScot site only provides search results with a for the basic bits of info. It's certainly something to bear in mind. If you see a firm st...


Fair Result Ltd: At the moment https: www.halifax.co.uk aboutonline security protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" most scams involving law firm clients< a> tend to revolve around property matters such as buying and selling a home. The offic...


Education Law Service Ltd: But just as with the NHS constantly providing a poor service, cutting corners, and even causing deaths by negligence - the special needs system within education is also run by fallible humans. The official website we link to above is www.educationlawservice.com and www.educa...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: Legal issues are very personal. That's a decent offer by comparison. But again if not available on a firm's site, it is often listed in the law society database. A good mix of seasoned pros and fresh blood within any company must surely be a good thing. If a solicito...


DV Solicitors: For example their Blog section is not just another excuse to push out extra sales pitches. The Law Society of England & Wales is a simply excellent resources for background research . Not just in the legal industry either, but generally. This is important because the firm...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: class="infoquote "Our highly experienced Housing Disrepair panel of solicitors can bring forward a claim against your landlord to ensure you have suitable living conditions."< div> A quick note on navigation. The main aim (we would hope) of housing claims is to ge...


David Stinson & Co: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 31408 david-john-christopher-stinson" look up the page< a> for David Stinson himself for example, you'll see he qualified as a solicitor in 1982. The first means you will have nothing to pay should your case lose. The latt...


Cooks Solicitors: All trading names, office locations, languages spoken, case types handled, solicitors' qualification dates, and more are usually available. class="infoquote "We are a strong believer in explaining things simply and fighting for clients who have a good case."< div> . ...


CEL Solicitors: But it's really, really not. So to see CEL stating something that turned out to be both true AND not jargon-twisted - is a much bigger deal for us than you might think! class="infoquote "Our services include: data breach claims, fraud claims, housing disrepair claims,...


Catteralls Solicitors: That's surely a very good sign. No seriously. We did see the name 'Catterall Pell & Moxon' popping up, a branding that no longer operates. In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk issuing sage advice. At the moment nearly e...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: The QS site is https secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms. . We've always said that you can end up with a 1-year-experienced lawyer from a 200-year-old firm the same as you can get a forty-year-experience expert from a 1-year-old firm. We can on...


Brown and Co Solicitors: Plus dozens of review pages both monitored and unmonitored. However there are two very important aspects to deal with from that sentence. With each focusing on different areas of law those numbers do stand out to us, and we've been working in the legal industry for over t...


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. The first means the firm or...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: yeah. well ... Why people fall for that and don't call their solicitor to check before sending tens of thousands of pounds - we don't know. Can Branch Austin McCormick back this up? Well, certainly they are https: www.legal500.com firms 235872-branch-austin-llp 235274-lond...


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. One tip though is to make sure the free consultation is with a qualified professional. But on scrolling through the pe...


Bilkus & Boyle: But the client will generally blame their own solicitor. it almost makes them meaningless. This is important because the firm deals with property matters. The number of scams relating to conveyancing and property in general have been increasing for years. A qui...


Beers LLP: However, we ran a poll last year and only 8% of you responded that you trust company provided testimonials. We would really recommend reading the reviews through, though, rather than just relying on star ratings when it comes to law firms. Sadly https: www.lawgazette.co.uk...


Argue & Co Legal: You will find it more likely for an actual solicitor to answer the phone and talk to you at a smaller firm which clients tend to feel better about . This splinter naming isn't nearly as prolific amongst other areas of law such as divorce or crime. We promise to make th...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.antonyhodari.co.uk but at the moment www.antonyhodari.com doesn't redirect there. Housing disrepair on the other hand are cases we've always understood to require considerable work for the amount of pay off for the solicitor. That'...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: This brings us to one of the main reasons we were very keen to have ABS Lawyers Ltd on our network . class="infoquote "if someone wants to fight for compensation, their help will be a good choice" "the topic was already closed and nothing could be won, but under ...


Two Harcourt Buildings: They do not travel into those official addresses every day for work. As you can see, each is still specifically about one particular barrister. But of course they will all say that. Such as one law firm we saw claiming a 150 year history in their town simply for moving into ...
