Youngs Solicitors: This is the final article in our series on this law group and it covers the main, sort of 'parent', branding within the Youngs Solicitors' setup. But even variants such www.youngandco.co.uk are owned by different firms. The situation is almost as bad as trying to find and NH...
Woodstock Legal Services: So which claims and imagery should you look for? class="infoquote "our lawyers are recognised nationally for their wealth of specialist expertise and knowledge"< div> For people in England and Wales they are lucky to have The Law Society there provide a huge amoun...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "The team members are experts in their analytical approach to cases, probing the evidence, and being prepared to challenge statute, case law, and evidence."< div> . We've been told it's an attempt to appear 'more human' - which we've no idea what that...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: The official site we link to above is https secure for entering your details in contact forms and is located at www.trustinheritance.com, with www.trustinheritance.co.uk redirecting you there just fine. Trust Inheritance does have some testimonials on their site: ...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: These days there's a huge number of firms who have chosen to focus on a handful of sometimes completely unrelated case types such as bankruptcy and probate together. The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-ol...
Stephanie Heijdra: However for barristers there simply isn't as much publicly available information. The .com version of that does not currently redirect and all other variants we tried such as www.stephanieheijdra.co.uk .com had no site or were not relevant either. class="infoquote "...
Thaxted Legal Ltd: They were all very positive and helpfully provided examples of why each of them were happy with the service rather than just blank ratings. class="infoquote "We are a member of the Immigration Law Practitioners Association (ILPA)"< div> So with Thaxted Legal i...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see . This is important because depending on the browser you use, entering an invalid address can send you to search results which can list the wrong firm at the top.
That's becomes eve...
Taylor Price Solicitors: William Ho qualified as a solicitor in 1989, Ruby Bhatti in 1997, Arshad Mahmood in 2008, and Sobia Ditta in 2011.
A quick note on navigation then with that point in mind. Although if you're anything like us, the main interest is usually the negative comments to see if...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd:
class="infoquote "We will provide free first advice."< div>
. So are Swain & Co Solicitors part of a law group seeking strength from both?
class="infoquote "A quality personalised service from a law firm based in Portsmouth Havant, Southampton and Liverpool.
...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: The law advice you get needs to be spot on as well. Rather than several lawyers all working within the same town - they have office based staff but also a team of home-working legal professionals spread across England. Sounds like the best of both worlds .
class="inf...
Stowe Family Law:
class="infoquote "Whatever you’re facing as a family, in whatever shape yours is, was, or will be, we’ll be here to listen to what you have to say and help with what you need to do."< div>
To verify claims of whether a firm really does listen to clients, mo...
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. Any mentions of 'Stenfield Limited' relate to the same company. A last word from the firm's site:
class="infoquote "98% of clients sai...
Springle & Co Solicitors: Ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional is important too. The first port of call we usually recommend to help start telling them apart is The Law Society in your area. Either national or local. Estate Planning is what we would consider a ...
Simper Law Ltd: However the case range quoted above is not actually as diverse as it looks. Our article today is about Simper Law which turns out to be much more of a unique offering than expected.
class="infoquote "Victoria is the perfect Solicitor and will fight your corner ever...
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>). Whilst most general consumers will use a service and then happily go online to inform others about their po...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Apparently people really are sending tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters without bothering to check with their solicitor about the payment change first. However the term is being used correctly in this instance. The former will bring up the correct firm during re...
Richmond Legal Ltd: That's because not all Immigration firms deal with clients the same. So for Richmond Legal to cover both these quite specialist areas together - is actually quite unusual. So whilst it's easy to find the confirmation of expertise and experience from places like the law soc...
Rose Fendlen Law:
We've worked with law firms for over 20 years and the things we look for on a law firm's website when deciding whether to include them on our network are probably very different from what members of the public or even the law firms themselves think are the important ...
Pump Court Chambers: That should make communication far easier , clearer, and provide a more personalised experience throughout the case. Even if someone phones you up asking about money, don't be afraid to politely decline and ring the firm back on the official number you have. you'll see that...
Penerley Lawyers: The official site we link to above is www.penerley.co.uk and www.penerley.com redirects you there as well.
class="infoquote "Penerley provides first-rate legal services to businesses and private individuals."< div>
We're now at a stage on the web where people typi...
Pacific Law: Some are chargable, some aren't, some are really expensive. We've been working with law firms for over twenty years now and some have confided that many negative reviews on their pages have been from people they beat in a case. will probably continue for some time. However, ...
OneLaw Chambers: Barristers normally say very clearly on the front page of their website whether they can accept direct instructions.
class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS ... With that in mind we always recommend people read actual comments left rather than simply flicking through the ...
My Law Matters: 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. When it comes to trading names of companies this can involve a little more work. 9 times out of 10 the client feels a propert...
Milners Solicitors: They also handle commercial matters including Business Disputes, Commercial Property, GDPR and Construction Litigation. Sometimes with specific questions but then all answers are rolled into one paragraph of a testimonial. But it is fair to use it that way as long as the law...
Michael Leighton Jones: The majority are positive and most related to property matters. Some firms even make statements such as 'established in 1881' as if that will make people think they are better than a firm started up in 2020. There is a firm call 'MLJ Legal Ltd' based in Hull, but at the mo...
Mckie Legal: The use of trading names is not something to worry about .
class="infoquote "Mckie Legal is a Trading Name of Connectmetoalawyer Limited"< div>
That's useful because even if you can't find a lot of information or reviews on the trading name - you can often find s...
Mason Bullock Solicitors:
class="infoquote "most of our cases can be dealt with successfully via phone and email"< div>
The firm has been around for a while so if you see mentions of a Mason Bullock starting in 2018 plus another one before that based over in Northampton - they are the same...
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 . However with this firm handling co...
Lindsays Solicitors: Lindsays deal with many cross border issues so have to deal with English law when it comes to things such as property sales.
A quick note on navigation. So in true internet-style, those people came onto the review boards to bad-mouth the firm assigned to sell the prope...
Lefevres Law: The second means there are no costs to you at all throughout the entire case, win or lose. There are lots of other little bits and pieces around the web that most regular consumers may not notice. well, we think so anyway. There is another website at www.lefevre-litigation.c...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: Whereas if a company says 'we have been helping people for over twenty years' that doesn't mean the person assigned to you will have twenty years' experience. At the moment most scams in the law industry are aimed at property sales purchases with fraudsters https: www.lloy...
Khan Law: But the number of firms being clear about what that means is far fewer. So Khan Law clearly stating the actual award is therefore quite a rarity and should not be overlooked. We received a negative review last year accusing us of 'feeding the corrupt capitalist machine'. ...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: But hopefully this short exercise of deconstructing their site's language to try and point out some between-the-lines tips might help when you come to make your own decision about which law office is best for you. that they are 'living in the past', 'unfriendly', or 'inexper...
The Legal Practice Ltd: So whilst The Law Practice's claim of being established for over 50 years is far more honest and therefore believable than some other law firms - the whole thing is still not a great measure to help distinguish between a firm's suitability for your particular case. They ty...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: www.jacobs-law.co.uk (for Jacobs & Co Solicitors) shows up high in the search results and has a similar domain. There are 10 solicitors at the firm at time of writing with Noel Lee having qualified in 1997, William Cheung in 2005, Ahmed Yousafzai in 2011, and more - right up...
HooperHyde: Sometimes you do. Sadly, some businesses use marketing jargon to try and cover up when they don't have a good deal of experience. There are national, county, city, and even case specific societies which legal professionals can join. They are a specialist firm focusing on hel...
Hill House Chambers: Biggest things to watch for are emails about money, payments, or bank details as that should never happen . There are accountants that can help with tax law matters, budget will writing firms, paralegal services, and so on. provide you with expert legal advice ... Hence the...
Hawkridge & Company: That's because whilst people are quite happy to jump online and rave about their new toaster, they aren't so quick to discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, debts, or criminal defence case.
This is important to note because over the past few years https: www.moneysav...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: That's because the majority of conveyancing firms have negative reviews. Someone wrote that as a review. As that information isn't readily available in Scotland (yet) we have to do a bit more digging. Why people fall for that, we don't know. The biggest conveyancer in the UK...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: The official name of the firm is Frazer Coogans Ltd but the usual variations such as 'frazer coogan's solicitors', 'fraser coogans ltd', 'frazer coogans ayr', etc. Frazer Coogans Ltd is also registered to
Fair Result Ltd: Often an accountant can assist in resolving a tax dispute.
The only issue with being a new firm is the lack of consumer reviews for people to flick through yet. But you never know what fraudsters are going to think up next though so just keep aware and never dicuss pa...
Education Law Service Ltd: One last point made on the firm's website:
class="infoquote "We advise all parents families to take early action, early intervention can be most effective."< div>
For some types of legal matter you can have anything from several months to three whole years to addr...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: So whilst someone might be very quick to jump online and talk about a pizza they just ordered - they may be more reluctant to discuss how well their dead father's contentious probate went.
John Houghton at this firm qualified in 1975, Rajesh Nair in 1999, right up to...
DV Solicitors: We try to offer varied legal service options across a wide range of case types. But those are all very positive too .
class="infoquote "Our top-notch legal services are not limited to UK residents, but we are also delivering superior legal affair services for Pakis...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk:
We've also detailed in other articles just how many high street solicitor firms also take a 25% cut of all compensation settlements. So whilst we still are not keen on the whole CMC thing as a general rule, in this instance using a company like DisrepairClaim.co.uk may...
David Stinson & Co: However, we've been reviewing and working with legal professionals for over twenty years so it's part of our daily lives. In fact, you should never be charged any fees either up front or during the case. This is called a 'conditional fee arrangement' and is normally around ...
Cooks Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Dianne Sumner has over twenty-five years' experience of helping people move house.
Whilst that might mean you'll need slightly more concentration to make sure your researching information about the actual office rather than the group as a whole...
CEL Solicitors: Can you check up on such things? Well, yes.
A quick note on navigation. But it's really, really not. The legal industry struggles badly with catching up with the times.
class="infoquote "As a law firm, we're a bit different but in a good way!"< div>

Catteralls Solicitors: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified newbie solicitor from a one hundred year old practice as you are to get a twenty year well-seasoned solicitor from a one year old law firm brand. The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, ...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: 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.
class="infoquote "Acted quickly and very professional"
"Things were moved quickly and Fel...
Brown and Co Solicitors: no other firm is going to say they are 'inexperienced'). That's a lot of experience.
class="infoquote "Our solicitors have the experience to go beyond simply answering your legal questions"< div>
It currently shows that Brown & Co solicitors have staff qualifie...
Bridge McFarland LLP: So what are previous clients saying? Certainly there are a bunch of testimonials on the Bridge McFarland website. The other two mean they've simply added up the years of all the staff (e.g. However, in our last poll only 9% of you said you trusted any reviews on a company's ...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: But we'll come back to whether Branch Austin McCormick fit this description later. On this occasion the firm we're talking about doesn't list any testimonials on their own website.
But if a firm claims to handle a wide range of case types and then has individual solicit...
BLZ Solicitors: Whilst most of us may assume it's a sign the firm has an online client area to check up on your case 24 7 - it could simply mean that the solicitors know how email works. www.blzsolicitors.co.uk is the official site we link to above and currently www.blzsolicitors.com doesn'...
Bilkus & Boyle: For example, the review we saw criticising a Criminal Law firm for refusing to take on someone's Divorce case.
We usually can't find specific pages on a firm but if you https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=bilkus&Postcode=&type=firm" search a firm's name...
Bell Lax Solicitors:
If you check out the page for this firm you'll see a range of experienced staff covering almost all of the last three decades. There were no common themes amongst the few negative reviews. The public review system has many flaws, but it's still worth checking out.
...
Beers LLP: The only negative comment we saw was a complaint about a solicitor called 'Monty'.
class="infoquote "We have specialist lawyers in areas such as Commercial and Residential Property, Employment, Personal Injury, Dispute Resolution, Health and Safety Management, Wills, W...
Aspire Licensing:
But this shouldn't pose a huge amount of risk anyway due to the area of law they deal in. In fact, an experienced accountant could cost much less yet be far more effective . The same is sometimes true of debt matters. Certainly we can't think of one that's more niche ...
Argue & Co Legal: However it's easy to imagine getting lost in the numbers at a large firm as well. if you would rather correspond via phone, email, WhatsApp, Zoom, text message or Facebook Messenger etc, then we will happily tailor our service to your preferences."< div>
You would think...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: We never know what fraudsters will come up with next though so just keep aware of the sites you're on and never discuss payments via email. But the name is so unique that if you type 'anthony hodari' into a search the correct firm still pops up. There are several others wit...
ABS Lawyers Ltd: But I'm sure most of you are already aware about the wealth of review boards available these days such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yelp, Yell, etc.
class="infoquote "if someone wants to fight for compensation, their help will be a good choice"
"the topic was al...
