What Firms do we Recommend?

We've written dozens of full-length, in-depth, and un-bias review articles on various UK law firms covering a wide range of case types and locations. They are all hosted on our main website where you will also find a solicitor search function to find someone local to help.

Please check out the new US Law Firm Reviews section on our sister site.


All Law Ltd: It's very difficult to work out which law firm is best for your case based on simply flicking through each firm's website. However, there are no 200-year old lawyers out there waiting to take your case. The firm has some testimonials included on their website. class="...


WYM Legal Ltd: We've seen a divorce specialist with a negative review for not handling criminal cases, and one firm with a 5 star rating for the incredible menu. It's a curse that comes with the job. If you've trawled through even just a handful of law firm websites today looking for one t...


Woodstock Legal Services: 'we are unapproachable, confusing, and slow'. Woodstock Legal Services is a trading name of Woodstock Legal Services Limited so not too much confusion there. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 562283 woodstock-legal-services-limited" check the page< a> for ...


Wolf Law Solicitors: 'wolf law solicitors wirral' . So the information doesn't actually help you separate this firm from the thousands of others you could use. If one firm says they will charge a 'success fee' of 25% while another says they will give you 100% of the compensation - there will be...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: While these are obviously good things to describe your firm, there is no-one claiming the opposite (i.e. Also if you see the name WS Strategic Ltd, that is the official name of the firm listed with Companies House. We are your trusted advisor."< div> If you've already ...


Wildcat Law Ltd: Wildcat Law have gone a step further in this process by having both types of help within one firm. You can hire a barrister yourself. Whilst many firms claim huge histories with tag lines such as 'established in 1881', the founding date of a firm is actually pr...


WH Solicitors: Just remember to read all comments and not rely on average star ratings. But not all specialists are the same. You can see for WH their main lawyer Waleed Hassan has been practising law since 2011. So full time at just immigration asylum matters is decent enough to add...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: Many house buyers have handed over tens of thousands of pounds into a fraudsters bank account due to an official-looking email stating the payment account details had changed. When there is a difference between the firm name and the web address it is sometimes a good...


Walker Foster Solicitors: How many times have you read 'award winning' with no mention of what the award was for? If it was for best logo design then it's clearly not an award that will help you decide which legal services to use. Ironically we review law firms. Remember, at one point people be...


UVS Law: It's often easy to check if a law firm or lawyer is valid in the UK by checking with the SRA and https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 32565 uvs-law-limited?Solicitors=True" Law Society< a> websites. Be careful of such wording on other sites. Ther...


TWB Probate Solicitors: We try to cover a wide range of law firms on our site including alternative legal professionals and companies who might provide related services. Grants of Representation - Administration of Estates – And Nothing Else"< div> For example, this quote is from the openin...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: Plus, for some reason the other side of the transaction will often write a negative review on a firm out of frustration. If a firm has only one solicitor on board yet states they handle every case type possible - then it is unlikely they will excel at any of them. Whi...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: No matter how many offices it gets, most businesses in Wales tend to have a local feel to them. Thomas & Thomas did not make any such misleading claims as far as we saw on their site. class="infoquote "Whether you are looking for legal advice for personal o...


Stephanie Heijdra: They also will be far more specialised in certain areas of law because they are more likely to have to represent you in court over the matter. This is despite her working in the industry since at least 2014 according to the BSB certificate. class="infoquote "In he...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: You never know what scammers will think of next.. But if you see a firm of 1 or 2 solicitors stating they handle every case type you can think of from Personal Injury to Family Law, Criminal Law and Immigration as well - chances are they are probably not able to keep themsel...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: class="infoquote "able to say (and do) things in a way that doesn't sound confusing" "Listened to my contractual issue and dealt with it in a timely manner" "helped me with car purchase dispute received excellent service"< div> These are some snippets from t...


Sternberg Reed LLP: We've seen so many news headlines popping up about people https: www.bankofscotland.co.uk securityandprivacy protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" handing tens of thousands of pounds< a> of their house deposit to fraudsters just b...


Solidaire Solicitors: Also none of the variants we tried such as solidairelaw.co.uk or solidairesolicitors.co.uk were owned by the firm. For example, as we were searching today using just the name "solidaire law" we go no results at all. Google keeps changing how it displays reviews though...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: So the fact Smith and Graham solicitors have a wide range of seasoned professionals alongside fresh blood is something much more of note. This is important because depending on the browser you use, entering an invalid address can send you to search results which can list...


PCS Legal Ltd: Before going ahead with anything make sure you have spoken to both parties to ensure they are willing to work together. This means delays are common during what is already a difficult and nerve racking time for clients. Just remember that the larger the firm, the more li...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our dedicated team of lawyers are committed in delivering the service you deserve by providing tailored legal solutions with your best interest at heart."< div> Luckily there are several things you can do to get background information on firms...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: People make mistakes and can simply be idiots. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 471499 nicholson-jones-sutton-solicitors-ltd?Solicitors=True" check out the staff page< a> for this firm you'll see a range of experience levels across the ...


SG Murphy Solicitors: "< div> . At this point if you've been searching for legal services for a few hours already you may be starting to think that they all sound the same. In the last piece we wrote the firm had multiple complaints about feeling fobbed off onto junior staff. Including each sid...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: But it should be noted that some firms use less than clear language for such statements. As Natalie isn't mentioned on the law practice's site or on the Law Society website at the time of writing this, we hope the firm at least noticed that fact. We've also seen some sites r...


McCarthy + Co LLP: class="infoquote "At our last Q9000 quality assurance audit we were rated 99%."< div> They have accreditation from various organisations such as APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers) as well as a quality assurance stamp from LQSI (Legal Quality Standards...


Mark Croft Solicitor: You may see many references to 'time' on law firm's sites. It's a shame the Scottish and Irish do not have such a resource. There is not going to be some 200+ year old solicitor within the firm monitoring everything. Todays article will focus on the motor offence solicitor M...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Sadly we've seen many other firms focus more on the social side of things by stating each staff member's pets, hobbies, and even favourite foods. There are a considerable number of reviews for each office on Google and dozens of others across the other independent boards. ...


Lyons Solicitors: The same issues arise for positive reviews as well. But the only way to check up on the quote above is to try and find feedback from previous clients. That's how a firm can 'specialise' in a long list of cases. On the other hand, a law firm with one solicitor trying to deal ...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "LS Legal Solicitors is a multi-service, specialist, diverse and dynamic law firm"< div> It's a misconception that any firm stating a wider case range must therefore spread their time between such cases and not have such a great amount of knowl...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: Obviously they will not have a 120-year-old solicitor on staff - so that number doesn't help you work out whether they will provide a competent legal professional with the skills you need. However, Quality Solicitors is not the parent company of Large & Gibson or any of the ...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our experienced family lawyers will listen and understand your circumstances, before agreeing a plan to achieve the best outcome for you and your family."< div> There is an amazing resource online that provides you with a wealth of details abo...


Horsley Law: That's more important than you might think as not all websites that take your details for a legal case are actual solicitors. Some are data collectors who then sell your information on to law firms. 95% Cases Won. We've often said that it's better to have a 40 year experie...


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'. Hence the reason for us breaking with tradition over testimonials. So the fact this company receives praise from both direct public clie...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: class="infoquote "With Heritage Park Family Law you have the added benefit of guidance from our founder who is a specialist family law Barrister."< div> What's the difference between having a solicitor or barrister handle your case? Quite a big one actually. H...


HCR Legal LLP: Everything from a one-person sole practitioner setups to multi-office practices with hundreds of staff. class="infoquote "We put our trust in the medical professionals who look after us. While their Cambridge, Cardiff, Cheltenham, London, Reading and Northampton loca...


Harrison's Solicitors: So seeing any property firm with a star rating in the 4s such as Harrisons' is unusual. So you need to be really careful and ensure you are on the correct site because property matters are one of the https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud ke...


Guardian Law: class="infoquote "We offer fixed, retained or ad-hoc fees, depending on your requirements"< div> . class="infoquote "Get instant access to our FREE People Manager's Guide before you have your difficult conversation with an employee" "Access our FREE Guide ...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: You could end up with a 1-year qualified newbie lawyer from a 200-year old firm, or a 40-year veteran from a 1-year old newly set up practice. But we have no hesitation in stating a firm with a specialist business department or a fully specialist firm like Goldsmith Bowers...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: However, we do not recommend picking a firm based on whether they guarantee you 100% compensation versus taking a 25% 'success fee' (the average percentage). But most importantly they list the areas of law covered and qualification dates of each solicitor registered with t...


Frei Solicitors: So which is Frei Solicitors? Well, none of those actually. The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or maybe bookmark the site if coming back later? The site is HTTPS secure for submitting queries through the cont...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: Foster Coleman do have https: www.fosterandcoleman.com testimonials" a testimonials page< a> on their website with comments such as: class="infoquote "we have a very positive outcome, as compared to what could have been" "always easily contactable by phone or em...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: How does Eve Lake Conveyancing fare on the comment forums? class="infoquote "provided exceptional services throughout the entire process" "extremely quick to get the purchase completed" "went above and beyond to bring things in within timescales" "fantastic com...

Amy King Legal: https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 6540 amy-jane-king" In this case< a> you can see Amy King qualified in 1995. Because these days are so different and still changing. It is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via the contact form. class="i...


EMD Law LLP: class="infoquote "Initial free 30 minute consultation on some matters"< div> This probably sounds little more stingy than it should. class="infoquote "At EMD Law we have a strong commitment to client care and aim to offer a friendly, efficient and cost ef...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. class="infoquote "We have decades of experience providing high quality and bespoke solutions to cater for you distinct needs."< div> The site includes a glossary of legal terms , which can be incredibly helpful for individuals ...


Eatons Solicitors: Eatons don't use any actual wording tricks that we saw. Will be using again" "kept me fully informed throughout the process"< div> Those are some snippets from the independent forums and overall they are positive. It's a treasure trove of usable information t...


Drummond Miller LLP: This is because in property matters, clients are very, very, very rarely happy with how things have gone and especially with the speed it has gone. For example, www.drummond&miller.co.uk could not exist, it would be www.drummondandmiller.co.uk The site is HTTPS secure...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: 'dispute' and 'resolver'. ADR describes different ways you can solve a problem without having to go to court ... We are not a directory just cramming as many high street solicitors as possible into the pages. Google has also made changes so that reviews of a firm will often ...


Defank Solicitors: Also don't pay attention to sales tactics such as 'established in 1881'. For today's example we're using the website of the law firm Defank: class="infoquote "At Defank Solicitors, we are committed to providing expert legal services tailored to meet your specifi...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: With so much sales language to wade through, what should you be looking for? class="infoquote "CWJ is a leading regional firm of Solicitors in Kent serving private individuals, businesses and organisations."< div> Clarkson Wright & Jakes is a firm that has gro...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent user side database for people to research legal service providers. class="infoquote "you will have direct access to your own solicitor who will be available to guide you every step of the way"< div> Again, th...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: Not so many firms are forthcoming with such details, especially those trying to disguise their levels of experience. This combined with our impressive depth of knowledge and expertise ensures that we provide a solution focused approach for our clients."< div> For examp...


Calio Claims: That's probably why only 8% of people clicked that they trusted company provided testimonials in our poll last year. class="infoquote "With one of the largest personal injury teams in Scotland, we help people secure the compensation they deserve in relation to all ty...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: However every firm we add to our network goes through various checks which we often write about, because much of the things we do can be helpful for any potential client in their search. Unfortunately even the best firm out there will end up with complaints about delays in p...


Brown and Co Solicitors: However there are two very important aspects to deal with from that sentence. They have an actual fees page which is definitely a rarity amongst legal providers as well. To check the individual experience amongst law professionals there is a great resource on The Law Soc...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: That's why most people turn to the independent comment boards such as Google , Trustpilot or Facebook rather than simply reading the customer testimonials provided by a company. There doesn't seem to be any other firms popping up in the search with similar names. While a fi...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. Some people have handed over the entire deposit of their house to a fraudulent bank account simply because they received an official looking email saying the payment details had changed. The first m...


Brian Barr Solicitors: Experience is also a massive part of a successful and swift outcome to your case. This firm, like many others, provides customer testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "Highly recommend this firm for their expertise in fibromyalgia" "made what was an extrem...


Backhouse Solicitors: class="infoquote "Incorporating Duffield Stunt Solicitors, established 1799"< div> When we are researching a firm it's actually this sort of statement which catches our eye. This is because there is always delays, complications, and sometimes complete failure bu...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: Absolutely, a firm that indicates potential pricing on their site is showing< u> a level of transparency rather than just claiming to have such. However, that is not the case. All of these statements sound great. Even for property sales firms. There are other source...


A City Law Firm Ltd: So if you see clearer statements like those on A City Law Firm's site then tack on a couple of extra brownie points. We ran a poll a few years back which stated only 8% of you trusted company provided testimonials. Surprisingly dispite the generic words in the name, when w...


Two Harcourt Buildings: class="infoquote "We have specialist Direct Access trained barristers available in the following practice areas: Fraud and Financial Crime; Criminal Defence; Regulatory; Professional Discipline; Health and Safety and Road Traffic Offences."< div> A quick note o...
