Youngs Solicitors: Currently the Stoke on Trent entry for Young & Co lists staff who joined the profession in each of the last four decades: including Phillipa Connolly who qualified in 1987, Nadine Forrester (qualified 1992), Nazia Zubair (2008), right up to Mary-Anne Beedle who because a sol...


Woodstock Legal Services: People have been handing tens of thousands of pounds in deposits to fraudsters simply on the basis of one official-looking email stating the bank details for payment have changed. Make sure to actually read the comments though and not just flick through star ratings. In most...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: The official site we link to above is www.ulasolicitors.com with www.ulasolicitors.co.uk not currently redirecting you there. The branding is quite unique and the various alternate searches we tried such as 'ula lawyers', 'ula law firm', etc. A quick note on navigation....


Trust Inheritance Ltd: The most common reason is the expectation of more expertise, more experience, and therefore a knock on effect of less time and cost required. But after checking up on the credentials of a firm and looking up whether the 'award-winning service' they tout has actually won s...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our aim is to build long standing relationships with everyone we work with and to ensure we take the time to listen, understand and do our utmost to achieve the outcome you require."< div> The most popular tools people use when researching a firm...


Stephanie Heijdra: This is even more difficult for people working under their own name instead of a chambers because Google wants to match company names and locations with each local business search. This is despite her working in the industry since at least 2014 according to the BSB ...


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. class...

Smith and Graham Solicitors: The number of large multi-office firms only seems to increase due to some smaller businesses merging to survive the difficult years we've had. class="infoquote "always available when we had questions" "Fair priced and transparent in their dealings" "responsive an...


Taylor Price Solicitors: It's also true that reading the positive comments can be enlightening as well. One last cut from their website that you may have missed: class="infoquote "Visit us for a free no obligation consultation!"< div> Two things stand out about this sentence. But t...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. "swain and co havant reviews". Our last article was about a firm that used different trading names from the same office address. We have over 200 firms in our database at the moment and only 22 of ...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: For example whilst Cambridge has a full 5 stars, the London office has only 3.5 stars at the time we checked. Plus, errors in the web bar may take you to a totally different site. We've always said to ignore average ratings and always read comments . They provide far, far ...


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. It explains the firm's reach and capabilities with specifics which we always like to see. However this statement...


Stenfield Solicitors: Of course even in these days of 'modern' legal setups offering online case tracking and many matters being resolved without the client even actually meeting with their solicitor face to face - there are still a huge number of people that prefer the idea of a larger fi...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Although that's probably not too much of a concern because typically scammers target property matters - not wills. That's because people are less likely to jump online and write a review about their divorce, will, or criminal offence compared to praising the pizza they just ...


Simper Law Ltd: They even kick off their website with a self-description of being "a small law firm of Norwich solicitors". Which makes it far more believable that a self-proclaimed "small firm" can have a decent level of expertise and experience in all of them. Simpler Law https: ...


The Search Bureau: SDLT.co.uk help stop stamp tax form rejections by pre-populating the forms and providing a printed SDLT5 certificate - they've handled over 3.6 million submissions to the HMRC already. There are some testimonials printed on the firm's website of course: class="infoqu...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: However if a single solicitor says they are a specialist in Family Law, Litigation, Criminal Law, and Conveyancing - that's when the term is not being used fairly. So if a legal service provider has few or even zero reviews, don't take it as a negative sign . Whilst many pe...


Richmond Legal Ltd: This is especially true for Personal Injury and Immigration cases. The information provided user-side rivals anything we've seen from other Law Societies across the UK. The most common typos we'd expect would obviously be www.richmondlegal.co.uk and the .com and neither of...


Rose Fendlen Law: Many companies have created Testimonial pages on their website. Because the actions needed for each of the case titles quoted can follow the same general direction and court proceedings if necessary. So the information doesn't really help you spot a difference. Make sure to ...


Pump Court Chambers: We trawl through dozens of law firm's websites every day. class="infoquote "Pump Court Chambers is one of the UK’s premier common law chambers"< div> There is an ever growing number of such barristers qualifying to represent people under Direct Access. secretari...


Penerley Lawyers: class="infoquote "At Penerley we are committed to providing the best possible level of service to our clients."< div>. Unfortunately this has not really spread to law firms as much as everywhere else. You don't actually have to be a qualified solicitor to sell someone...


Pacific Law: class="infoquote "We listen ... However we have worked with some of the key players in the past. But these days we would say that if the firm can't offer video-chat services they are now getting behind the times. Don't just rely on star ratings. Even one extra Saturday...


OneLaw Chambers: Something to keep in mind when researching or trying to find the firm again. class="infoquote "outcome was successful and the solicitor Aejaz Mussa I dealt with was helpful, honest and a subject matter expert" "Very professional, very reliable." "I'm happy w...


My Law Matters: We've been writing law articles for over twenty years now and have therefore worked alongside hundreds of law firms in that time. class="infoquote "we always strive to maintain consistently high standards throughout our work and aim to provide the best legal advi...


Milners Solicitors: People are very quick to jump online and praise complain about a restaurant they've just been to. They have lawyers on staff that joined the industry during all of the last three decades - such as Simon Bass who qualified as a solicitor in 1993, Victoria Barraclough in 2008,...


Michael Leighton Jones: There are still plenty of firms out there that will charge a consultation fee or even full hourly rates for the first meeting.. Here at 1to1Legal we've been reviewing legal companies for over twenty years and have written hundreds of articles on them and the subject o...


Mckie Legal: But whether a solicitor charges a success fee or not shouldn't be the end-all of your decision to use them. There are plenty of things you might not have thought of though that can identify a firm as offering more than another. Normally we would have a mini-rant about '...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales and about this firm you'll see Andrew Crisp's stated areas of expertise and that he ...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: class="infoquote "Our legal service team have extensive experience"< div> One thing to be aware of when you're reading website text is that 'expert' and 'experience' are different things and you ideally want a firm with both . But hopefully you'll be able to ch...


Lindsays Solicitors: consistently exceeds everything I ask of him"< div> The majority of reviews were very positive indeed. Their own website is https secure for filing in contact forms with your details which is great . But also several more recent additions such as Ben Doherty (qua...


Lefevres Law: The second means there are no costs to you at all throughout the entire case, win or lose. People are https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-deposit " handing tens of thousands of pounds over to fraudsters< a> somet...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: The Direct Access scheme allows members of the public to hire barristers themselves rather than having to pay a solicitor who would then hire one for certain types of court work. You are only getting what you pay for. KRS are focused on a specialist case range with their ...


Khan Law: 100% compensation means there are no fees to you whether your case wins or loses. There is also a Khan Mather, Aina Khan Law, Ali Khan Law, and more. That's because we've seen law firms with five star reviews for their dog-friendly restaurant and others being criticised for ...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: Especially when you consider no firm is going to claim the opposite (i.e. No win, no fee means there are no fees should your case lose. Again, a very rough example but to make a geniune point. As a (ridiculously basic) example - it would obviously be better to use an expert ...

The Legal Practice Ltd: But let's be honest. If someone calls saying they are from your solicitor's office and you don't recognise the person - never feel uncomfortable about saying you're going to hang up and ring them back on the official phone number you have. That's actually a much bigge...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our lawyers are friendly and approachable, an important trait when dealing with client matters."< div> Again, this is something practically every law firm will say. class="infoquote "Based in the heart of Birmingham’s City Centre, we offer ...


HooperHyde: Hooper Hyde state each lawyer has at least 10 years' experience. People are absolutely happy jumping online after a good or bad meal to review the restaurant they've just been to. Unfortunately that's not always easy when it comes to law firms. There are many case type...


Hill House Chambers: Does that mean a much better experience overall? Normally we completely ignore testimonials on company websites. A solicitor's firm will have all staff working as if it's one big company together. A quick note on navigation. Typically solicitors are not authorised ...


Hawkridge & Company: class="infoquote "With highly trained experts on hand to advise on your particular case, you will always receive a fully informed, clear and professional service whatever your circumstances."< div> Again, all law firms will claim to have staff with the necessary ...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: The research people do to confirm company statements about customer care usually involves public review boards such as Google, Yelp, and Trustpilot. class="infoquote "approach was both professional and personal throughout the whole process" "Numerous complication...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: The largest property firm in the UK just now currently has over 1500+ reviews on Google and a rating of just over two stars. This statement: class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans encourage staff to gain their full potential"< div> at the very end of their About Us page...


Fair Result Ltd: The key is agreeing the financial settlement in the form of a consent order, this is where we believe we are unique."< div> In the same vein, many firms also state they have a 'uniqueness' just like Fair Result have done. But maybe it's a very, very convincing fraudulen...


Education Law Service Ltd: You never know what scam will be next though so always make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments or bank details via email . Whilst ELS do display a few testimonials on their website e.g: class="infoquote "highly professional, advice was tho...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: The problem is mostly with property matters and conveyancing as https: www.clc-uk.org watch-out-for-conveyancing-fraud " fraudsters have managed to scam multi-millions< a> out of people buying selling a home. Dylan Nair state being able to communicate in English, Hu...


DV Solicitors: Something you'd like to see in any legal practice you're thinking of using. Not every case requires a solicitor at a huge law firm. You may get a forty year experienced solicitor from a law firm brand that started up yesterday. We've also seen negative reviews against a c...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: To fix those missing floor boards. DisrepairClaim.co.uk specialising in this particular area of law therefore means we're very happy to have them on board . There are plenty of things we might change about the legal industry, but all in all - CMCs still have a place i...


David Stinson & Co: Often you will be asked to sign an 'After The Event' insurance document which insures the against losing. It seems to be a unique name in the industry. Even if someone calls you claiming to be from the firm and you don't recognise them - don't be afraid to say you'll call...


Cooks Solicitors: a genuinely local firm but with a much larger firm's resources behind it. class="infoquote "We are a strong believer in explaining things simply and fighting for clients who have a good case."< div> . No really, firms claiming they are three hundred years old as if th...


CEL Solicitors: That's because legal professionals and law firms are not quite the same as your local restaurant, supermarket, or hairdresser. We also love case studies and know that potential clients do to. The official site we link to above is www.celsolicitors.co.uk with www.celso...


Catteralls Solicitors: In our opinion, long term existence of a firm's brand is not nearly as important as the experience and expertise of the individual solicitor you are going to work with. Never discuss bank details via email and just try to keep aware of which website you are on. The ...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: There are negative reviews from people who were told they didn't have a case. That's quite something unique to see. All cards on the table - we like Burton & Co . An enviable group of staff to have at any firm surely? Legal-based or not. Each Saturday we offer a drop in se...


Brown and Co Solicitors: To check the individual experience amongst law professionals there is a great resource on The Law Society of England & Wales' website. A quick note on navigation due to the number of firms out there with 'brown' in the name. This snippet from the Brown & Co website...


Bridge McFarland LLP: 8 staff x 5 years experience = 40). The most common place people go to when looking up any firm is a search for reviews. There is also a huge difference between a firm that claims to have 40 years of experience and 40 years of experience 'within the firm' or 40 year...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: It's always been said to never ask a lady her age, but I hope the female staff of Branch Austin McCormick will forgive us posting their qualification dates in this instance to showcase their firm. class="infoquote "We offer a full service, including commercial property...


BLZ Solicitors: So to specialise in them most likely means they have a specialist knowledge they want to use or that they have a personal relationship with the process. That's something to watch for especially with property matters as scammers contact clients telling them deposits n...


Bilkus & Boyle: Sadly so many firms use terms such as 'modern', 'friendly', 'established', etc. As a Scottish business ourselves, we hope our national Law Society can catch up and provide a bit more in the future . For example, we have three 5 star reviews on Trustpilot but due ...


Bell Lax Solicitors: But the basic checks we use when judging a firm for inclusion in our database can easily be used by potential clients as well to filter out non-suitable firms much quicker. class="infoquote "With our experience of acting for claimants and defendants we can spot potent...


Beers LLP: Again, a very good reason to read the comments fully first. If you've read through any of our other law firm cover articles, you'll hopefully know that we do our best to write unbiased information. Alongside their co-workers, the firm as a whole has a decent mix of seasoned...


Aspire Licensing: The same is sometimes true of debt matters. a close relationship with all our local responsible authorities ensures any issues or representations received towards our applications can often be resolved through mediation and working in partnership with said responsible author...


Argue & Co Legal: Despite the owner's surname being a generic word (argue) the firm shows up fine for the majority of it's terms on search engines. Then there will be a fifty year established divorce specialists with less reviews than I have fingers. We've seen reviews posted by the opposin...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: 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. The bulk of reviews for AntonyHodari were positive and many reflected their claim quoted above about promising to keep peopl...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: Lastly there are firms that write statements such as the one from ABS Lawyers' site above saying they have X amount of years of 'combined experience'. (You get the idea.) Therefore if you see lower number such as 'combined experience of 10 years' - that's not a good sig...
