White Collar Legal: Enough to have seen plenty of veteran-but-desk-bound solicitors run rings round by younger legal professionals who practically live in the court room. Most of the time you are 'helped' by someone who has just quit their job stacking shelves at Morrisons. Plus with the huge c...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: However, on this occasion they have simply linked to the third party review site Trustpilot and are showing the public reviews from there. In fact we saw at least two pages worth of examples of case types and associated fees declared up front for people to check out be...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: But as there are always plenty of forums for clients to express their opinions, we try to help by offering extra information, links and perspective on each law firm. class="infoquote "Exceptional Customer Care to accomplish the best results"< div> All companies ...


The Johnson Partnership: Not just that, but they look like genuine 5☆ reviews too (i.e. It's not uncommon for smaller firms to take all of your information, hire a third party barrister, but you only get to meet that barrister for the first time on the day of your trial. Immigration, insuranc...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting wisdom to the rest of the staff. We always ensure there are a good dollop of main-stream, high-street solicitors to choose from. If you've used our legal help search service before or read any of our articles on ...


Taborns Legal Business: In fact, Taborns' setup had a very familiar ring to it. We have several firms on the network that are brand new startups, consultants, or sole practitioners. For example if you were seeking help with a tax matter, we may show you options of a regular high street solicitor, a...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: Simons Rodkin have a whole page dedicated to discussing how their fees work with examples and finer details regarding each case type they handle. But as they deal in property matters, we would absolutely recommend bookmarking the website to make sure you come back to the...


Serious Law LLP: What's the difference between a 'serious' injury and a regular one? Two weeks of whiplash after a car accident can be handled by almost any firm because the amounts you can claim are practically set in stone. If you've read any of our other law firm review articles, you...


SBW Law Ltd: For example, 5x staff members with 2x years of experience = 10 years of experience 'within the firm'. But with legal professionals there are often other resources available. That brings us back to the earlier comment about subtle word differences. If you've read any of our o...


RSR Law Ltd: In some cases we may charge a small fee if further investigation is required, before a no win no fee agreement can be entered, (i.e. For example, RSRLaw's https: twitter.com rsrlawsolicitor" Twitter feed< a> is mostly links to their own blog updates regarding employment l...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: You essentially end up paying for two people to do the work of one and dragging the case out for longer. Direct Access is something barristers have to apply for and be qualified to offer. Most companies will more likely have some vague references to greatness, such as 'we a...

Levins Solicitors: A last word from the firm's website referring to the pros of using a firm more on the outskirts of Liverpool: class="infoquote "with no city centre overheads to pay, we offer the expertise of a big firm without the expense"< div> . Most reviews are about their Crimina...


Reid Black Solicitors: So being registered with the local law society is completely understandable. they've posted general reviews elsewhere as well) - it provides a good dollop of veracity to the whole thing. It should be mentioned that Reid Black have moved away from the usual Testimonials...


Redwood Collections Ltd: So if you do see negative reviews of any debt collection company - pay attention to whether they just happen to be the person that ended up having to pay the debt - i.e. The usual testimonials are pasted on the firm's site, however (as our poll last year informed us) people...


RD Costings: Then after you've had the initial interview, have gone all the way down to their office, and are ready to sign on the dotted line for them to proceed - that's when the small print comes out about them taking 25% of your compensation if they win. On the 1to1Legal network we r...


Penn Chambers Solicitors: neither www.pennsolicitors.co.uk or www.penngroup.com are currently owned by the firm) it'd be a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it if you plan to return.. So what do clients say about the actual service they've recieved? Well there are the obl...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: There are many wonderful firms without a single drop of publicity ink. At the time of writing they had over 450+ reviews on Google which is quite unheard of for a law firm . That's like leaving a bad review for McDonalds for not selling pizza. Either way, still be on your...


OJ Solicitors Ltd: The Scottish version https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=oj+solicitors&Postcode=&type=firm" only lists names and some contact details< a> within a search function. So what else can you check? class="infoquote "From the very beginning his team were gener...


NV Legal Ltd: Something we've been trying to encourage firms to focus more on is the concept of rehabilitation rather than the 'money fixes everything' attitude you can sometimes see. The first simply means that if your case loses, there will be no fees. class="infoquote "Your clai...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: It happens to firms all the time where a cold-caller states they are from a certain company in order to seem genuine if the person wants to quickly look them up. We added one firm because of their exceptional opening hours including up to 8pm for weekday appointments in the ...


MGBe Legal: From the very (sometimes unfathomably) niche boutiques, to large international firms. For some areas of law though, people really do want a specialist firm . At 1to1Legal we like to research and review a wide variety firms. Here are a few of our reasons for doing so. ...

So that brings us back to our gut feeling about this firm. As you c...


McEwan Fraser Legal: But you'd be wrong. For all of our quick quotes, we would each have had to call up after to get a proper idea of how much the property might sell for. Such availability by McEwan Fraser during a very stressful process hasn't gone un-noticed as you'll read in most of ...


Alexander JLO Solicitors: This type of complaint should absolutely be ignored and should really be deleted. That's not the same as being accredited. If you haven't heard about the huge number of property sales scams, just search "scammers stole my house deposit" on a https: www.theguardian.com mon...


Leech & Co: It would be a shame if public perception continues that way because there is no real benefit in choosing a 100-year-old firm versus a 10-year-old firm simply based on the date they say they were founded. class="infoquote "We are a small, independent, modern law firm,...


Lawcomm Solicitors: class="infoquote "Established since 1999 ... Usually when we write an article on a firm that handles conveyancing, people are often confused to see us promoting and praising a firm that may have hundreds of complaining reviews. On this firm's site however, there seems ...

Kings View Chambers: How he describes himself? class="infoquote "Renowned for my 'hands on' approach to all cases, I am fast to meet clients and become involved in case strategy and management from the earliest opportunity. This only helps to re-enforce the idea of saving the website rath...


Kings Court Trust Ltd: Whilst there is a http: www.kctrust.co.uk customer-stories" Customer's Stories< a> section, it is mostly just clients praising the firm rather than providing examples of difficult cases and how they were resolved. Any complaints that do exist are usually when a client fee...


Joanna Connolly Solicitors: I recommend a phone call to confirm the ins and outs of that though. Whilst obviously focused on financial law matters, they also work on contentious probate, disputing a will, inheritance laws, personal insolvency, employment law court advocacy, and more.. They also de...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd: i was made to feel at ease with Gordon Johnson" • "I highly recommend Jay Sahota and his team ..." < div> How does these compare with the third party independent review sites? Well, our first tip before even heading to third party boards such as Yelp, Yellow P...


IWC Probate & Will Services: These are people with no legal qualifications that discuss your case in depth with you and take all the details. That doesn't mean it won't be helpful (at least we hope it will). But we've written in several articles before about how meaningless the age of a firm's branding ...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: We didn't find any review separation between the Newry and Dublin offices. The reviews were always mixed in on each site though. It will provide each solicitor's qualification date too. The official site we link to is www.ianmallon.com with www.ianmallon.co.uk not currently ...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors: If you find a firm with a full page of information regarding how they handle your case type, then that's a good sign. So when they make this claim on their website: class="infoquote "litigation experience spanning more than 20 years"< div> It's actually very acura...


Howe + Co Solicitors: The snippets above were from the usual third party boards such as Google, Yell.com, Yelp and Trustpilot. But certainly Howe & Co are well-known with several high profile news articles quoting them including https: www.theguardian.com uk-news 2019 nov 06 i-failed-archbish...

Helix Law Ltd: If you factor in possible common errors we've already seen such as 'helixlegal', 'helixsolicitors' and even more once you start on hyphens - it's not worth the risk. Even on search engines you may find one word extra or wrong will bring up quite different results. I spoke to...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors: We don't like them for various reasons such as often being misleading and helping reduce claims to simply being about money. So do we recommend Hampson Hughes? class="infoquote "Our objective is to ensure we recover the maximum amount of personal injury compensation ...


GloverPriest Solicitors: These should consist of at least the professional's name, expertise and experience. We therefore absolutely recommend bookmarking the official site once you're on it and of course never discuss personal bank details via email. There were several negative reviews but every ...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd: You can usually look up the qualification dates and expertise of most solicitors on The Law Socienty's website. Unfortunately most companies, not just in the legal industry, use the Blog section to create a dozen extra sales pitches disguised as news or thin information...


Fieldfisher LLP: class="infoquote "We offer free legal advice and take on claims on a 'no win no fee' basis."< div> On this we just want to point out that every single personal injury solicitor across the UK should take such cases on under the no win, no fee. They have over 400...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors: They are not very good for actual useful communication when it comes to legal issues. Their case range is just as wide, with help offered in Conveyancing, Right to Buy, Remortgaging, Probate, Contested Probate, Lasting Power of Attorney, Wills, Trusts, Family Law, Matr...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors: Let alone good reviews. Of course, motoring offences can be life changing events. As with everything else, you need to pay attention to the wording on the Hammond Trotter website: class="infoquote "87% of trials run by our team were won. Certainly, the cost of th...


Driscoll Kingston: Solicitors tend to pick comments that are utterly glowing but lacking any information that could help a potential client actually decide whether they sound like the type of firm they're after. We don't demand perfection from any firm but we do our regular checks such as SRA ...

Davey Law: Their staff even look all http: www.daveylaw.co.uk our-people" solicitor-y< a>, with a clear balance of ages and genders. But until I actually sat down to write about Davey Law, it didn't hit me that we had just secured the services of a stereotypical solicitor's practice...

CFG Law: On this occasion, the firm has thankfully missed out bits about their favourite colours, food, and hobbies. So, does that philosophical or sociological disagreement give me pause in recommending the firm? Absolutely not. One final note about navigation as we're ...


Briffa Legal Ltd: It's rarely there and we make a point of mentioning it in their review along with a snapshot of the infamous "No.1 in the area! (*according to my mother)" billboard produced by a US realtor. I won't go through the full list of possible variants. If you've read other review...


Balfour+Manson LLP: The whole site looks professional and puts across the idea that this firm is well established and filled with professional acting people. If you go to www.duthieward.co.uk (www.duthieward.com is blank) you'll see a stand alone website, but they describe themselves as consul...


AWH Solicitors: But you'll never a find a firm that has everything. These are old names or names of firms they have merged with so should really no longer apply. There are always a few things we would like to see from firms. Every solicitor that handles Personal Injury for example should ne...


Avery Walters Solicitors: In our last article we unfortunately had to point out a firm that had more than a dozen 5 star reviews, all written within the same month, and all by people with only 1 review ever written (pause for huge eyebrow raise). So despite the lower star rating for Avery Walters, w...


Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd: It is not uncommon to require at least three separate service providers to achieve all of the above. Until our social manager David bumped into someone from Auto Logistic Solutions online, it wasn't something we'd really put much thought in to. If you had to pay for it...


Aspire Licensing: class="infoquote "We can take your initial instructions, provide relevant training to you and your staff, draft and submit applications to all relevant authorities, draft relevant documentation to be enclosed with your application ... They are therefore not registered ...

Apprise Legal Services: Thankfully these days there are a large number of indepedent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp and so on.
