ULA Solicitors Ltd: ULA Solicitors https: www.ulasolicitors.com news-and-cases" showcase several such case studies< a> on their site if that also helps give you a sense of the firm. That in itself is a positive sign not to be dismissed . ULA list positive quotes from peers on their site, w...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on giving the best support service available and are dedicated to delivering the right solution for you."< div> Experience and expertise don't automatically make a good lawyer. class="infoquote "excellent professional, pr...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "In the fast changing, increasingly complex and highly politicised area of Immigration Law ..."< div> Again as a new firm who have chosen to handle immigration issues we would therefore expect Trojan's lawyers to be very diligent and kept up to da...


Stephanie Heijdra: https: www.barstandardsboard.org.uk barristers-register 82AFCBA73880BBA6DA5EB034D07EC4B1.html" The Bar Standards Council< a> website only shows whether someone is an active barrister on record and whether there have been any complaints. As you may have gathered from...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: Sadly the government body doesn't even provide a good advisor search function and when trying to look up a firm there is a mountain of reading involved just to find the link to take you to the page that takes you to the link that takes you to the search box etc. The latter b...

Smith and Graham Solicitors: The first is the expertise of the staff, and more importantly - their experience. A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'. We've seen companies claim 150-year origins simply for moving into the old premises of a much older firm. We've seen law firms wi...


Taylor Price Solicitors: Surely an ideal mix for any legal service provider? class="infoquote "Our team members have been ranked as leading lawyers, recommended counsel and individuals to watch in Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, and IFLR."< div> One thing we're constantly going on about a...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Then the article before that one was on a huge network of firms that still retained independence but all were placing a matching two-word branding before all their names (i.e. Young and Co have their own branded location though so any research is probably best served using...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: class="infoquote "We have a team of highly experienced lawyers who have all either, worked for leading law firms, or held senior positions in law firms."< div> But a good setup isn't even half the battle when finding the best firm for you. With the number of typ...


Stowe Family Law: The official firm name actually does have those generic industry terms of 'family law' in it, but search engines seem to return the correct firm without them e.g. But more importantly there are details about the staff including their speciality areas of law and the number ...


Stenfield Solicitors: class="infoquote "Stenfield Solicitors is a multidisciplinary law firm serving national and international clients from its offices in London and Norwich."< div> Stenfield Solicitors therefore certainly fit that description , but it can be difficult to tell the va...


Springle & Co Solicitors: The big difference though, is that a wedding planner doesn't need to know how to make a cake. Another phrase concept we seem to have imported from the US. Always keep aware of what site you're on and who you're chatting with - either by email or phone. By reducing wasteful o...


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. So what are previous clients saying about the firm? The snippets above are from testimonials posted on the firm's own websit...


The Search Bureau: Have they done so? We've found that most companies that service actual law firms tend not to have publicly available reviews about them online. After more than twenty years of working in the legal industry, we've built up quite a network of connections, followers, and busine...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: In the same way that a Family Law specialist will handle divorce, child custody, and more; most cases involving claims against a third party for compensation (i.e. This may sound like a lot and you may find a solicitor that agrees to run the same case with a 100% compen...


Richmond Legal Ltd: A last word from the company's site: class="infoquote "Our litigation team has the wealth of experience in dealing with all types of litigation matters, whether these are civil or commercial"< div>. The official site we link to above is www.richmondlegalltd.co.uk and a...


Rose Fendlen Law: Most people that end up on our site have usually already scrolled through a dozen or so law firm sites before getting here. On that last one: class="infoquote "Specialising in: ... Discrimination Cases ... We've covered the differences between the various types of lit...


Pump Court Chambers: They have offices in London, Swindon, and Winchester covering a wide range of case types and a wealth of resources behind them. class="infoquote "Cordelia was very friendly and put things into words that I could understand. class="infoquote "Recent changes in t...


Penerley Lawyers: Whilst people are very happy to talk about their local hairdresser online - they are not so eager to discuss their divorce, bankruptcy or probate litigation. There were all positive , but none of the reviews had left any useful comments. But at the moment, Google is listi...


Pacific Law: This is because whilst people are very happy to jump online and give praise about their new toaster - they are less likely to rush to a public forum to discuss how their recent divorce, will writing, criminal defence, or bankruptcy went. Our technology takes care of the stuf...


OneLaw Chambers: It also provides the qualification dates and specialties of each legal professional within a firm. OneLaw certainly has at least one other independent body backing up their claims as well, being https: www.legal500.com firms 232573-onelaw-chambers 232407-london-engl...


My Law Matters: The largest conveyancing firm in the country has over 1500 reviews on Google and just a two star rating. The client then handed tens of thousands of pounds over to the fraudster without bothering to check with the law firm whether the change was correct. That's a fair enough...


Milners Solicitors: They have three offices in Leeds, Harrogate, and Pontefract. For example, it looked like one was by a law student who got turned down for a job. That may be confusing to use the word 'specialist' to describe both a firm that handles a single case range and one that cove...


Michael Leighton Jones: Whilst we try not to offer direct legal advice on our site, it is probably very fair (almost obvious actually) to comment that a solicitor that works in a small niche area of law may have more experience and be better kept up-to-date about the legal changes for those types...


Mckie Legal: That means more than you might think. Scammers convince people selling their house that they need to pay the deposits into fraudulent bank accounts. It's just far less likely that someone will rush online to discuss how they feel about their criminal law case or messy divor...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: There are far better paying areas of law which is probably why so few firms get involved. The situation was at least slightly covered in https: www.dailymail.co.uk news article-3784457 Huge-rise-debt-judgements-against-families.html" this news piece< a> on the Daily Mail ...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Always make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments or bank details via email. 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. That...


Lindsays Solicitors: But also several more recent additions such as Ben Doherty (qualified in 2004) and Douglas Roberts (2008). By that we mean there are many websites out there set up to look as though they are a legitimate personal injury or conveyancing firm - when in reality they are a front...


Lefevres Law: (We're based in Peterhead so, if anything, we should be bias the other way on this.) Rather than the Law Society having individual pages on each firm containing a wealth of information about each, there is simply https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=lefevres&Po...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: Kamlesh Ratilal Samji (the K.R.S. There are a few other things that stand out about this firm over others as well. In the quote above the amount of experience is being attached to the actual person you will be dealing with - i.e. The Law Society of England & Wales ha...


Khan Law: We wouldn't class that as 'specialist'. Khan Solicitors is a different firm as well using www.khansolicitors.com (www.khansolicitors.co.uk is unowned). In fact the number of firms claiming to be 'award-winning' seems to far exceed the number of awards we could think possib...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: The firm does come up top for common variant searches such as 'jps and walker solicitors' or 'jps walker legal'. The difference is that a solicitor may take a cut of your compensation under a no win, no fee guarantee. This can make spotting differences between them to ...

The Legal Practice Ltd: 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 because out of all the law societies available, they have the best user-side data by far . So whilst The Law P...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: The practice of claiming an "established in 1881" foundation is something common to such professional areas including law, accounting, and journalism. But that's simply not true. This firm is registered with https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 546047 jacobs-law-soli...


HooperHyde: class="infoquote "worked tirelessly for me to win my case and I am extremely grateful" "really understands business risks" "has represented us in many cases including debt recovery, mediation, and litigation"< div> Those are snippets from testimonials on...


Hill House Chambers: However on this occasion many of the reviews on the firm's own website and on third party boards are from peers who are also 'clients'. A chambers is more like a collective of individuals so whilst there will be a main office monitoring everything, you will typically be m...


Hawkridge & Company: Hawkridge & Company are another firm which may appear like a regular high street firm, but they actually tick a lot of boxes for us that you typically don't get from many other legal practices. This firm is signed to The Law Society of England & Wales which is great beca...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: The full branding of this firm is Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents with the official website being www.fultons-scotland.co.uk which we link to above. (10x3=30) So do pay attention to wording. Why people fall for that, we don't know. Many low ratings can simply be from p...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: With so many high street solicitors to choose from though, how do we at 1to1Legal decide which firms to include in our search database and which to skip over? Below are some criteria and resources we use. They provide alternate contact details, other trading names, lan...


Fair Result Ltd: Again that sounds like it means something but if that firm's office has a bright pink upward sliding door painted with purple Spongebob characters - that would technically count as them providing a 'unique' experience to people. As mentioned before, we've been at this f...


Education Law Service Ltd: One lesser known area of litigation is Special Education Needs work (SEN). Some are less obliging offering just 15 minutes over the phone to help decide if it's a case they can handle and quote you for doing the work. and in phone contact throughout"< div> If you ...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: The main points people most want to see are typically a photo, case specialties, and relevant work history. Of course some firms have started putting their pet's names and favourite foods in profiles. However, this can sometimes make it much easier to spot something that re...


DV Solicitors: Far better than most others we've used. Such as: class="infoquote "have gone beyond and above in all areas of our transaction" "an immense pleasure to acquire your proficient services" "carried out all the required responsibilities efficiently"< div> Tho...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: That means they do not have solicitors on staff but will take your details, discuss your case, then find a solicitor from their own panel of firms to process the matter on your behalf. In fact, solicitors themselves https: www.legalfutures.co.uk latest-news solicitor-san...


David Stinson & Co: 9 times out of 10 they will just be variations of 'I would recommend them highly'. However for smaller more simple cases such as a two week whiplash injury as a passenger in a car accident - we would not expect the lawyer to take any part of your compensation. Unlike other s...


Cooks Solicitors: But if you would like to look up the individual experience and expertise of a solicitor within any firm, you can often get the information at the local law society website. It can therefore be a good idea to bookmark the site or use a search function instead just in case. ...


CEL Solicitors: It can also be hard to tell the various options apart at first glance with so many firms using trading names or practically identical looking websites. Today we're covering the firm CEL Solicitors. The C-E-L part stands for Cheshire Estates and Legal Limited if you see any r...


Catteralls Solicitors: In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk issuing sage advice. The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. Sometime...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: www.burtonlaw.co.uk did redirect there at one point but we haven't seen that for a while. Whilst most of our articles are about individual firms along with the pros cons and things that stood out, today's piece on Burton & Co LLP will have to cover some new ground. So why i...


Brown and Co Solicitors: However it's amazing just how similar law firm websites look these days with similar language and similar images of people smiling - all shaking hands. So what are people saying about the firm on the independent boards: class="infoquote "answer phonecalls and reply em...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Not least so because it means they are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which we have long praised as an excellent user resource for background checking law practices. Just typing 'bridge mcfarland' currently shows nothing on Google, you have to type in t...


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. But make sure never to discuss payments via email. . class="infoquote "always available, professional and friendly and speedy" "Extremely ...


BLZ Solicitors: For example, many immigration solicitors are in fact immgrants themselves or saw the struggles of family friends trying to come over to the UK. That's not the case though and there are hundreds of firms out there that still charge full rates just to meet with them. That's wh...


Bilkus & Boyle: 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. But there are plenty of good indicators you may not have noticed between the l...


Bell Lax Solicitors: But absolutely no solicitor should charge you any fees for running the case or if the case loses. Again, the fact they bought both domains and made sure they were linked is actually something rare for a firm to do . Typically the 'Blog' or 'News' section of a law firm's web...


Beers LLP: Whilst most of the time people may think of specialist firms as handling only one area of law such as Criminal or Divorce matters - these days it is very common for a firm to cover a wider range of case types but simply have individual solicitors within the group assigned ...


Aspire Licensing: However even then there are options such as hiring a barrister through the new Direct Access scheme instead of going through a solicitor. For example you don't always need a lawyer to deal with your Tax HMRC problem. In fact, an experienced accountant could cost much less y...


Argue & Co Legal: We promise to make the process as easy and efficient as we possibly can for you."< div> It's true that even with the huge range of options available to people these days such as Direct Access barristers or no win no fee arrangements (plus a host of television adverts ov...


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. Something you'd want in any company really. One we saw last week was particularly odd because the complaint was about a criminal law firm that refused ...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: In this case, the solicitors certainly aren't 'green'. There are other options provided by non-solicitor backed companies, or charities, either independent or goverment set up organisations. That means we try to provide a range of various solutions AND firms that can provi...
