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 possible you may get a 1-year newbie solicitor from a 40-year old firm, or a 40-year veteran solicitor from a 1-year old law practice. class="infoquote "Our Client's are our number one priority."< div> The most common check people do when researching a serv...


WYM Legal Ltd: Obviously with a w right after the www. But 'leading' is one of those words that doesn't really give you a specific metric you can measure against another firm. Since both sides always blame the other person's solicitor - you can pretty much guarantee at least one negati...


Woodstock Legal Services: However on this occasion we have because they are not just hand-picked and solicited client remarks but actual comments from industry peers who have worked with the firm. They include direct contact information and work history details of each staff member which is perfect....


Wolf Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our expert team of personal injury specialists can help with any type of claim."< div> Luckily for the English and Welsh, the national Law Society has an amazing website full of userside data to help you verify a firm's claims about 'experts' ...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: However other companies may use clever wording to try and make their claims seem bigger than they are. This one from the Wilford Smith site is very clear , indicating that they have been serving clients for over 40 years. For example: one of the largest Conveyancing firms i...


Wildcat Law Ltd: The most important part in our opinion though is the qualification dates of solicitors within the firm. So searching for 'wildcat law london' versus 'wildcat law southampton' will bring up different individual results reviews. Also note that if you are searching for review...


WH Solicitors: It's not enough to just say you are a specialist. They are all very positive, mention Waleed by name and often discussed what the case was for. Does WH Solicitors have that? The easiest way to check on a firm is to use The Law Society of England & Wales website for firms...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: But we can't stress enough the importance of reading actual comments and not just relying on star ratings when it comes to comparing firms. However in our poll a few years back only 8% of you said you https: consumer.ftc.gov consumer-alerts 2022 09 should-we-trust...


Walker Foster Solicitors: Why? Because a lot of law firms will state 'we are a large well-established firm' along with a bunch of other claims without actually indicating why that is so. That's more rare than you might expect. The Law Society of England & Wales has an amazing site rivalling anythi...


UVS Law: However this can only be true if they have individual solicitors within the firm each dealing with a select area of law. While it's very (very, very) easy to assume all government officials are corrupt and take bribes, it shouldn't be necessary if your lawyer has the skills...


TWB Probate Solicitors: Unfortunately, in the UK there are no good guidelines blocking people from calling themselves a 'lawyer' considering most are not aware it does not mean the same thing as a 'solicitor' or 'barrister'. For example, in some cases you may be better off with an accountant or a...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: So what are the independent boards https: www.google.com search?q=The+Law+Partnership+Ltd&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=The+Law+Partnership+Ltd&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l3j0i22i30i625j0i22i30j0i390l3.767j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x48774bf3974e9df1:0xac3ed13023aaee...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: This can be incredibly useful in sifting out those with real experience and real specialism versus those attempting a jack-of-all-trades approach to law. That's because hardly anyone is ever happy with how long it takes and there are always problems (most of which are outs...


Stephanie Heijdra: Barristers may be part of a 'chambers' or simply be working on their own. class="infoquote "She is a level 3 OISC Immigration Caseworker and a Level 2 Law Society Immigration and Asylum Caseworker."< div> With barristers being mainly autonomous even when p...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: But we think it's even more important for Immigration because the laws involved are constantly changing and can often involve the laws of various other countries as well. But Immigration specialist firms are sometimes only https: www.gov.uk government organisations offic...


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. They provide far, far more than any of their rival organisations on the user side including office locations, aka business names, alternative contact details, and ...


Sternberg Reed LLP: class="infoquote "Our aim is to provide exceptional customer service, tailored to the needs of our clients."< div> The staff roster shows a wide range of seasoned heads (hopefully with plenty of fresh legs to keep things moving). But the most common way people c...


Solidaire Solicitors: But you've probably seen most law firms claiming to offer 'bespoke' services and promise a 'positive outcome'. Also none of the variants we tried such as solidairelaw.co.uk or solidairesolicitors.co.uk were owned by the firm. When firms had to rely on local word of mouth or ...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: Sadly establishment dates are one of those marketing things companies with less-than-good-intentions misuse all the time. But the main thing we want to cover in this piece relates to: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on our level of client service, constantly stri...


PCS Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "Welcome to PCS Legal. That has also brought a lot of confusion over which services are legally authorised to do certain work and whether the company you've just sent your details to is genuine or not. There is a different firm currently using www....


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: The firm's name is actually quite unique so various searches such as "oakwood law" brought up the same firm. The website is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form as well. It's hard to know if a firm is friendly from their website only, and...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: However you may not be getting the most out of such resources. However for this piece the two are going to be merged together deliberately because sometimes a little insight into how things are viewed from one side - can help provide a little clarity to the other. There is...


SG Murphy Solicitors: When was the last time you saw a firm admit to being 'rude', 'outdated', or 'lacking experience'? We've often praised the website of The Law Society of England & Wales for it's wealth of user-side data helping thousands to properly research firms in those countries b...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Sadly, this honest description of theirs is actually much rarer than you might think! class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on providing a professional, personal service in a way that suits our clients."< div> Has this level of expertise and close-knit staff tra...


McCarthy + Co LLP: That's tens of thousands of pounds at a time. A quick note on navigation should be made with the firm having an 'and' or '+' sign in it's branding. So the phrase 'award-winning' is not of itself meaningful. This is especially important since the firm handles property ...


Mark Croft Solicitor: They are too busy https: www.dailymail.co.uk news article-12003657 Brisbane-couple-conned-102-000-savings-house-elaborate-scam.html" taking huge amounts of money from house buyers< a>. If you look up the Law Society of England & Wales you can check the alternate trading n...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Always make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments or bank details via email. People simply aren't as quick to discuss their divorce, criminal defence, bankruptcy, etc. Please remember to forgive law-related websites that use a lot of the same...


Lyons Solicitors: Some people have https: www.bankofscotland.co.uk securityandprivacy protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" handed their entire house deposit< a> into a fraudsters bank account. In the middle of this are firms with multiple solicito...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: But we were impressed by the fact that as they've grown they seem to have limited that growth only to areas of law where they could provide similar focused expertise. One major feature is they list the actual qualification dates and area of law specialties of each i...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: We are dedicated to providing the highest quality legal advice and expertise for our clients, but in a way that's far friendlier, more accessible and clear-talking than you might expect from a law firm."< div> That's the brief explanation on each firm's pages. Most peo...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: But you never know what fraud might come your way, so be vigilant about what site you're on and what you discuss via email. . Hopefully one day the Scottish database will be as good as the English (which is a tough thing to say as a Scottish firm ourselves!) class="i...


Horsley Law: We've long advocated people use this online resource when looking into hiring a legal professional because they provide a wealth of information about each firm's contact details, alternate trading names, languages spoken, and the experience expertise of individual solicito...


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'. Does that mean a much better experience overall? Normally we completely ignore testimonials on company websites. The main websi...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: Some may offer a free 15 minute consultation with the person who might handle your case. The bar standards council website doesn't provide nearly as much useful data as the Law Society, but it at least provides the information we're talking about here - which is the qu...


HCR Legal LLP: There is no page showing all feedback for the company as a whole. So it may be best to bookmark the site if thinking of coming back.. We're not satisfied unless we're making a real difference to peoples' lives"< div> That's a snippet from the front page of the HCR si...

If you look up the top conveyancing firms for the country then check their star ratings on the various review boards you'll see some with 3 or even 2 star ratings but still with thousands of...


Guardian Law: We've seen a law practice praised for its 'tasty new menu' and a divorce specialist given a zero-star rating for refusing to handle someone's criminal law case. That shouldn't cause too much confusion . To us that indicates the best qualities of a specialist firm in...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Excellent recovery rates"< div> We would never generally recommend one firm over another as each client's individual circumstances and even location play a huge role in which firm might be best for them. Over the past two decades people have https: www.express.co.uk ...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: As mentioned there are two sites. Be aware that www.girlings.co.uk is a totally different firm doing Lettings. If a law firm with only two solicitors in it handles every case type under the sun, they are clearly not specialists. class="infoquote "At Girlings we embra...


Frei Solicitors: So while a nationwide conveyancing firm might have 300+ reviews on an independent review forum such as Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook - a specialist divorce lawyer might have only a handful or even none. But the thing about https: www.investopedia.com terms h hnwi.asp" h...

Amy King Legal: There are other factors you can look into. Groups of them together are weirder. and have taken countless cases to Court with a stunning track record of success. We've watched insurance firms spend £20,000 to fight a £5,000 claim they thought was frivolous. The in...

Defank Solicitors: But you can get a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law brand, and a 1-year newbie lawyer from a 200-year old law firm. Ancient founding dates are often touted to make people think the firm is well established and therefore that must mean they have plenty of experie...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Their office is in Glasgow but if you enter a phrase such as "baker hardman solicitors in glasgow" Google currently returns results for a firm called Bradley Baker Solicitors. This is an older name so you may wish to bookmark the site you want to return to just in case. ...

Brian Barr Solicitors: Certainly you can't get a balanced range of comments as no firm we've seen ever posts their negative feedback on their website alongside the positive. One of the problems when trying to find a law firm to help with a case is the similarities between each firm's website. ...
