Stephanie Heijdra: Even reviews are hard to come by which we'll cover in a moment. This is despite her working in the industry since at least 2014 according to the BSB certificate. You may see Stephanie listed on other related networks such as Clerksroom as well. They also will be far more ...
Taylor Price Solicitors: class="infoquote "Taylor Price Solicitors LLP was established in 2015 and currently operates through two offices based in Manchester and Leeds."< div> In the face of these long-establishment claims by other firms, being a law firm that started in 2015 can make it ...

Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Summerfield Browne are therefore a prime match of what we need on our own law network. Plus, errors in the web bar may take you to a totally different site.

Stowe Family Law: But you've probably come across a dozen law firms that claim to be the 'best', 'specialist' or 'largest in' such-and-such on their website as well. The reviews are mainly positive from what we saw with several comments about fair pricing and time effort put in. We always re...

Smith and Graham Solicitors: So the fact Smith and Graham solicitors have a wide range of seasoned professionals alongside fresh blood is something much more of note. People have ended up https: www.walesonline.co.uk news homes-property home-buyers-warned-scam-could-21957792" handing over tens of t...
Simper Law Ltd: The age of the firm's brand name is pretty much meaningless and often tenuously worked out to begin with using the wife's-cousin's-dog's-next-door-neighbour approach to linking up the current firm with an older name. Last year we ran a poll asking people whether they paid at...
The Search Bureau:
They've partnered with some of the leading industry firms such as Landmark Information Group who ensure conveyancers meet their regulatory requirements. It probably doesn't occur to employees of a firm to jump on the web to write a review about a service their compan...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: A 200-year-old firm might still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. However the term is being used correctly in this instance. On this occasion there are two main solicitors: Michael MacDonald who qualified as a solicitor in 1993, and Thomas Reynolds who joined the l...
Richmond Legal Ltd: That's because not all Immigration firms deal with clients the same. Law societies can be national, countywide, or attached to a large population city. Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to cover a multitude of services, there are some that clearly go well beyond ...

Pump Court Chambers:
Now whenever there are various court matters where you will need a barrister - you can usually hire one yourself directly. We trawl through dozens of law firm's websites every day. Statements like the one above are displayed on practically every legal firm's website. T...
Penerley Lawyers: But so far we've not seen anything too extreme such as beanbag chairs in the conference room. This is because some people's complaints can be ridiculously petty, and some can be attached to the totally wrong firm. They naturally want to point out - that's not them. As mentio...
Pacific Law:
The official website we link to above is www.pacificlaw.co.uk, however recently they changed this www.pacificlaw.org - but either will get you to the correct website. will probably continue for some time. In fact there seems to be a very clear split in the industry, wit...

Milners Solicitors: Add to that people messing with things like using Milner's instead and we think it's a good idea to bookmark the correct site or using a search instead when coming back. For one thing, there will often be far less reviews of law firms. For example, it looked like one was b...
Michael Leighton Jones: The most common being Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Facebook, Yelp, etc. The official website is the full www.michaelleightonjones.com but at the moment the full site also pops up on www.michaelleightonjones.co.uk as well. We've seen bad ratings for firms that had to close o...
Mckie Legal:
Most scammers target law firm clients that will be making a payment to their solicitor. Hence the popular no win, no fee slogan across all their websites.

Lindsays Solicitors: Their website also isn't plastered with carefully selected testimonials, boasts about awards won, or how wonderfully charitable they are. It's quite refreshing to see. So is this positivity reflected on the third party forums as well?

Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents:
Being a Peterhead-based firm ourselves it's a tough thing to see even the basics such as Law Society databases being so much clearer and informative south of the border. Of course many firms post testimonials themselves on their site. The full branding of this firm is ...
Frazer Coogans Ltd:
The official site we link to above is www.frazercoogans.co.uk but www.frazercoogans.com does not redirect you there.
A quick note on navigation. Sadly, that is very rare . (Very, very, tenuously worked out in most cases.)

Fair Result Ltd: But maybe it's a very, very convincing fraudulent email lacking the usual African General hallmarks. We did ask around our own office if anyone might want to get a divorce in order to test out this firm's claims. 'One of' - out of how many? A thousand firms? 'Leading' - le...
Education Law Service Ltd: Another statement on their front page that stands out is:

Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: But it's really not a negative sign if a law firm you're looking up has few or even zero online comments about them. That's not something we are so keen on.

DV Solicitors: Far better than most others we've used.

Catteralls Solicitors: No seriously. That's surely a very good sign. In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk issuing sage advice.

QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: But the independent boards were also packed with positive comments as well. The idea being that they all work together to grow each other's businesses and each member firm is meant to get a positive buzz from being attached to the name.
