White Collar Legal: But after 20 years working in the legal industry and thousands of articles, I think my opinions should be allowed to leak out from time to time. What first appealed to us with White Collar Legal is probably the same thing everyone who visits their website goes "... Wa...
The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: The branding has the longer name but you will find most things such as regulatory bodies mentioned above and review pages use the acronym version. There are plenty of testimonials on the firm's website, but our poll a few years back indicated that people tend not to trust th...
Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: The thing to watch out for is firms stating a wide range of specialities across different areas of law such as Divorce, Bankruptcy, Commercial Property, Immigration, etc. For example, Asda do not 'specialise' in Cereal, Milk, Chocolate, Underwear, Toys and Bottled Water...
The Johnson Partnership: No, really. They have a list on their website but sadly no links to any of them. Both www.johnsonpartnership.co.uk and www.johnsonpartnership.com are owned by other people too so it's probably best to bookmark the site once you're on it to save time later. getting the full c...
The Injury Solicitor Ltd: There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting wisdom to the rest of the staff. The official site we link to above is www.theinjurysolicitor.com and currently neither www.theinjurysolicitor.co.uk or www.injurysolicitor.com have competing websites on them. We ...
Taborns Legal Business: Please note that W Taborn & Co is not the same company, they are some sort of luggage manufacturer in London. In fact, Taborns' setup had a very familiar ring to it. Taborns is therefore much more of a business legal solutions provider than just a case handler . A piece on ...
Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: That last snippet for example indicates that whoever took the reviewer's call must have listened properly and for some time . General practice solicitors, niche local firms, nationwide multi-office firms, direct access barristers, and specialists only handling a single case...
Serious Law LLP: This claim of a high reputation amongst their peers is also backed up by a good number of quotes on third party sites: class="infoquote "Serious Law are right up there with the best in terms of calibre of lawyers, methods of working, delivering tangible rehabilit...
SBW Law Ltd: No firm is ever going to state they are 'cold' or 'unfriendly'. our friendly team ..."< div> Practically every law firm makes this claim which unfortunately makes it unhelpful as a distinguishing feature. People have ended up handing over tens of thousands of pounds of ...
RSR Law Ltd: not just a specialised focus, but a driven focus with a real interest in the subject as a whole. That along with the fact they switched their focus from the often-deemed-easier task of processing whiplash claims to dig into dismissal cases and contentious probate - meant we ...
Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: When it comes to individuals rather than large 100+ staffed firms handling your case, we absolutely think the solicitor barrister should stick to a more niche area of law. The official site we link to above is www.robinsomerville.co.uk with www.robinsomerville.com not curren...
Levins Solicitors: So if there are dozens of positive reviews about a legal company and all the negative reviews are about conveyancing - it's something to keep in mind. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside young blood eager to prove themselves. The official website of the firm is www.levi...
Reid Black Solicitors:
All these together hopefully show why we thought Reid Black Solicitors were a good match for our network . They also sponsor and support the local veterans football team 'The Comrades' which we recommend you https: www.newtownabbeytoday.co.uk news only-surviving-com...
Redwood Collections Ltd: a win for the actual client .
class="infoquote "Unlike most debt collection agencies we retain a panel of highly-regarded solicitors and insolvency practitioners."< div>
This is quite true and something to watch out for when seeking a debt company to help you. The...
RD Costings: The focus is usually on Road Accidents, Work Injuries and Slip Trips. With the branding containing a plural there's always a tendancy for people to drop the 's' by mistake. On the 1to1Legal network we review and recommend a wide range of firms.
When you see firms stati...
Penn Chambers Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Established in 2008, finding our success from our direct approach to providing high-quality services based on years of experience, in a commercially sound, financially savvy and yet sympathetic way."< div>
This opening snippet from the Penn Chamb...
OTS Solicitors Ltd: Either way, still be on your guard when typing in web address and never discuss bank details via email. That's like leaving a bad review for McDonalds for not selling pizza. Even if someone phones you, you can always hang up and call your known solicitor back on the actual n...
OJ Solicitors Ltd: Just make sure to read the comments and not just flick through star ratings. In any given area we may only recommend 3-4 local law firms for your case type. (Though it naturally pains me to admit such a thing!) The Law Society for England Wales will provide individual inform...
NV Legal Ltd: 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation'. That can only have positive implications for the final outcome of your case.
So reading both the lines themselves and the stuff inbetween, you can be pretty confident that such would not be the case with NV Legal. Hence, why w...
MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: In fact, we don't think we know of any firm in the UK that doesn't offer No Win, No Fee for Personal Injury matters these days. in the case of an Immigration firm), or are simply marked as being the best in their field . kept me informed regularly of all aspects of my claim...
MGBe Legal: Here are a few of our reasons for doing so.
You'll can also check out how long she's been a qualified solicitor, the languages she speaks, and any accreditations. With generic terms in the branding such as 'legal' we do often see people making mistakes such as searchi...
Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors: A lot of the case workers I spoke to genuinely struggled to stay open-minded after a while.
So that brings us back to our gut feeling about this firm. But whilst the two main solicitors of the firm have a combined history of 20 years, and whilst Meresbrook Pollard has b...
McEwan Fraser Legal: Neither of which would impress you enough to use their actual services would it?
McEwan Fraser Legal on the other hand state very clearly underneath their Award-Winning claim what awards have been won. Both in text and with little badges further down the page. The off...
Alexander JLO Solicitors: The guide is not like a Top 100 or any form of accreditation though. Accredited legal professionals undergo a rigorous process including demonstrating extensive experience, expertise and high standards of practice. The fact any firm has taken the time to apply for membersh...
Leech & Co:
class="infoquote "We are a boutique firm of committed, compassionate and friendly private client Solicitors providing expert, high-quality legal services to our clients. Google's lazy approach to spelling is also a problem because it could hinder you finding reviews ...
Lawcomm Solicitors: Some of the largest and most successful conveyancing firms in the country with over a thousand reviews each end up with 2 5 and 3 5 ratings because of how precarious property sales can be. But in context these need to balanced and compared against how other property handling...
Kudos Legal Ltd: We always recommend a good mix of experience versus new blood ideas in a firm.
class="infoquote - "...
So why did we invite Kudos Legal on board? As mentioned already, we think it's a big plus to have offices and qualified solicitors on both sides of the border...
Kings View Chambers: As an experienced barrister you can be confident your case will be presented professionally."< div>
The firm's website does have a news section with actual news in it (rather than simply lots of extra sales pitch-y pages) For example, Stephen has been https: www.step...
Kings Court Trust Ltd: Any complaints that do exist are usually when a client feels that the case had gone on for longer than they thought it should. As their Chief Executive said:
class="infoquote "We're not a law firm. They're what's called an Alternative Business Structure (ABS). In these...
Joanna Connolly Solicitors: Previously Head of Consumer Credit Litigation at MSB Solicitors, Joanna has had extensive litigation experience in both the County Courts and High Courts level.
The firm can offer assistance in defending County Court claims as well as statutory demands issued by credito...
Jarmans Solicitors Ltd: Our regional base keeps our rates competitive but we have clients all over the world."< div>
This is a more complex declaration compared to most we've read. That's a general complaint across the industry as a whole though, not something we think only Jarmans could possi...
IWC Probate & Will Services: 'less than 100% above board' ... These are people with no legal qualifications that discuss your case in depth with you and take all the details. Titles such as "Writing the Ideal Will", "Can you Refuse to be an Executor", or "What Happens if you Don't Apply for Probate". We...

class="infoquote "this company came with good recommendations, very grateful to them for my positi...
R James Hutcheon Solicitors: No win, no fee means that if your case loses you won't have to pay anything. those phone calls you keep getting asking about car accidents you haven't even been in.

Howe + Co Solicitors: One last quote from the firm's site:
class="infoquote "The vast majority of our cases are important cases to individuals, but which never receive any publicity at all."< div>
. One of the few areas of law Howe & Co don't actually handle though is Conveyancing, which ...
HJA Solicitors: Even if you’re not sure that your circumstances warrant legal action, it’s always worth discussing the matter with a member of our team to see what your options might be."< div>. There are several possible reasons for this that we noticed. A position we've only ever attained...
Helix Law Ltd: It's as if a website can't be considered 'official' unless you have a bunch of articles no-one ever reads. The majority of Helix Law's positive reviews are from people that have reviewed a wide range of firms indicating they are most likely genuine. Some may simply take co...
Hampson Hughes Solicitors: Whilst a solicitor may have several cases keeping his attention, the client is only focused on one and thinking about it far more regularly. Not by a larger cheque. You can look up the expertise and years of experience of any solicitor registered with The Law Socienty. As a...
GloverPriest Solicitors: No, we're not exaggerating and no, we're not a fan when they do this. That's because so many things can go wrong outside of the actual solicitor's control . For more details on the plague of conveyancing scams, just search for "lost my house deposit to scammers" in the news...
Frank Rogers Law Ltd: Failing to give driver identity information, speeding, totting up (when you've accumulated the maximum number of points), drink driving, driving with no insurance, using a mobile phone whilst driving and so on all have a range of options and mitigations. But how do you find ...
Fieldfisher LLP: They have over 400 solicitors on staff in 11 offices across the UK, Republic of Ireland, Belgium, Germany and America. However, this is not to be confused with the 100% compensation guarantee some firms offer.
Normally when a firm gets that big, they move into practi...
Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors: That means the only other alternative is www.edwardhandslewis.co.uk, but neither that or the www.edwardhandslewis.com version are owned by the firm either. It's itself. Then in 2014 the firm's Managing Director was crowned Boss of the Year for Leicestershire.
At the tim...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors: So sure enough, we sought out a specialist to start recommending to people. Not winning a trial in court. So does this mean they are less capable?
No. You can search this firm's name on a news search and there's no fantastical articles about them getting the rich and fa...
Driscoll Kingston: In this instance it's simply that they were not a limited company at first. But as we plan on recommending them to other people - we don't want to end up with egg on our face. Driscoll Kingston have articles on case samples, changes in the law, staff promotions, and their ch...
DFA Law LLP: Always a good sign. Right up to Michael Nadin (qualified in 2010) and Christopher De Luca (qualified 2019). So be careful, and we even recommend never giving bank details to someone that rings you. Property clients are heavily targeted by scammers due to the amounts of mone...
Davey Law: Their contact page not only provides details about available parking nearby, but also alternative postcodes to use in your satnav so that you end up in exactly the right spot.
As for the staff, I wasn't exaggerating when I said they were well experienced.
The firm...
CSL Law Ltd: However that is only the date the 'Limited' version of the company was incorporated. But apparently not to read or write reviews. However, 1to1Legal is not one of them. That's not unusual for Google, but in this instance it made researching difficult and it became apparent t...
CFG Law: If you've tripped on a paving slab and scraped your knee, or if you only had a sore neck for a couple of days after a car accident - they are unlikely to dump all their expertise in your lap.
If you've searched the web looking for a personal injury claims firm, then y...
Briffa Legal Ltd: I skimmed through about a dozen and didn't see a single bit of sales-pitchery thrown it. Whatever you do, don't go to www.briffalaw.com (just don't) and the most common misspelling www.brifa.com and .co.uk are not currently owned by anyone either.
Why am I bringing t...
Balfour+Manson LLP: The brand can almost be anthropomorphised, which is always a good indication of something more than just a few solicitors with some headed paper. Ian's father, Francis, joined as a partner in 1922. They have expanded their Aberdeen operations in 2016 by merging with the 25-y...
AWH Solicitors: Or you could end up speaking to a junior in-experienced staff member for the 'free' 30-60 consultation on offer.
There are the usual customer testimonials around the site, but as we already know from last year's poll - people have an instant distrust of these no matter ...
Avery Walters Solicitors:
class="infoquote "... So don't think we're pushing that bookmarking stuff just to promote the firm. Some people just skip through the general ratings without really looking into how those ratings were gained. Just something to be mindful of when choosing a firm. We get...
Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd: If it's possible that your car could be worth less after an accident even though it was repaired incredibly well - you can claim for the expected shortfall. We could imagine people carrying around insurance, breakdown firm, and accident management cards in their wallet or pu...
Aspire Licensing: Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. People have given away millions each year to fraudsters. Obviously, never discuss such payments via email or even with someone that calls you up. Aspire Licensing point this out th...
APS Legal & Associates: Typically they will state "ABC Wills is run by ABC Solicitors Ltd and regulated by the SRA No.000001" or something similar. No hard-sell, very professional."< div>
However, each of these testimonials is often not tagged regarding which advisor they are talking about.
...
Linkilaw Solicitors: Chances are most review sites will do the same and just change some titles around.
class="infoquote "Founded by two brave women in the midst of the pandemic, we understand the challenges of starting and growing your business."< div>
It's not the most striking clai...
Apprise Legal Services: Google sadly allows advertisers to stuff the searched-for keywords into adverts. Don't just look at an average rating and judge by that. If you've already read a few of these review articles on our site, you'll know that we always try our best to find more varied types of fi...
Allsop Durn Solicitors: really.) So always put the star ratings into context by reading the comments that go with. Having crawled through thousands of reviews over the past couple of decades, we're accutely aware of just how regularly people make mistakes. A good mix of 'wiser heads' whilst still...
Aina Khan Law Ltd: Be aware that www.ainakhanlaw.co.uk is currently not in use. She provides decisive and speedy legal settlements across the UK and globally."< div>
But then it's backed up with actual stats:

Aconveyancing Ltd: So what can you use to judge the experience and merits of the hundreds of conveyancing firms available?
class="infoquote "We are a specialist conveyancing firm and pride ourselves on offering you a highly professional, personal and efficient service at a competitive ...
5 Essex Court: Unfortunately Google can be quite slow in responding to scammers. This naturally means a great opportunity to save both time and money:
class="infoquote "The Direct Public Access scheme introduced in 2004 enables barristers to be instructed directly from or on behalf...
33Legal Ltd: That can only benefit in the long run, surely?
.
Again, that may not be something you'd consider important when judging a firm . Again, whilst this is not an uncommon practice for law firms to create se...
