Youngs Solicitors: The firm doesn't list testimonials on their website, but that's fine. At the time we checked, they were clickable images rather than live counters - so were slightly off the actual average ratings on each. We also hold CQS, The Law Society's quality mark for legal experts in...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: Having a mix of seasoned, older heads with fresh legs can surely only be a positive asset for any legal service provider? class="infoquote "Our aim is to support our clients in every step of the way in order to reach their goal. A quick note on navigation. We'v...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. With Wills & Probate though, this idea of specialism goes an extra step further. Words like 'modern', 'fresh', and 'friendly' appear practically everywhere making them meaningl...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our team is dedicated to providing prompt, practical and authoritative legal advice."< div> Most law firms make claims such as this about their staff, stating they are experts and usually something about extensive experience as well. However you...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: But such ancient founding claims are really just marketing ploys. 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. However there is a firm using www...


Taylor Price Solicitors: There are plenty of things to pick out though that could make a difference to your decision. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 596831 taylor-price-legal-limited" check out the info page< a> for any firm on there you'll be shown all office locatio...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: For example, if you saw a negative 1-star review for Burger King complaining that they don't serve pizza - you would think the reviewer was nuts. Retaining a smaller local brand name for each area can make a huge difference. That's why even though the public review system ha...


Stowe Family Law: We always say that experience isn't everything, but a good mix of seasoned staff alongside new youthful enthusiasm can't be a bad thing in this industry. However this statement alone should qualify our decision. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your view, some rev...


Stenfield Solicitors: Sometimes it has taken only a single email from a scammer to convince people to pay their house deposits into a completely fraudulent bank account. Unfortunately when no feedback is left it's hard to know if that person was even rating the correct firm. We've also seen...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Something much rarer for a law firm than you might think. . We have written on a wide range of multi-practice firms over the years. Solicitors are such a firm, specialising in Estate Planning matters such as Wills, Probate, and Powers of Attorney. you get the picture. App...


Simper Law Ltd: But the main reason people probably prefer the third party independent review boards is that they will also include any negative reviews. Our article today is about Simper Law which turns out to be much more of a unique offering than expected. (Something companies tend not...


The Search Bureau: Have they done so? We've found that most companies that service actual law firms tend not to have publicly available reviews about them online. All other variants we tried such as www.searchbureau.com and www.thesearchbureau.com were owned by different firms. They've ...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: class="infoquote "Most of Robin’s clients instruct him under the direct access or public access scheme which can provide benefits in terms of cost and time savings or you can instruct him through your solicitor."< div> The Bar Standards Council do have a https: ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Reynolds Macdonald are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have the most useful and info-packed user side database we know of. The former will bring up the correct firm during related searches no problem. The age of the firm'...


Richmond Legal Ltd: Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to cover a multitude of services, there are some that clearly go well beyond their capabilities. So a public display (it's actually capitalised on the Richmond Legal website but we shrunk it to avoid distraction) of a number clea...


Rose Fendlen Law: Make sure to listen carefully to the options provided and don't assume both will apply to your case.. But a poll we took a few years back indicated that the percentage of people that put faith in company provided testimonials was in the single digits. Sadly Google was showin...


Reid Black Solicitors: Reid Black were one of the first firms we approached. But for now, if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 508489 reid-black-solicitors-limited" take a look at the page< a> for this firm on The Law Society of England & Wales' website you'll see contact d...


RD Costings: Getting the right professional legal advice and related help such as from experienced counsellors can make a huge difference, not just to the amount you are awarded, but for mental recovery going forward as well. However this is actually a very impressive level of t...


Pump Court Chambers: These are not just other offices of the same group of barristers. The members of a Chambers share the rent and facilities, such as the service of clerks ... Prior to this new setup, quite often the first time a client would meet their barrister is about 10 minutes before wal...


Penerley Lawyers: Whilst people are very happy to talk about their local hairdresser online - they are not so eager to discuss their divorce, bankruptcy or probate litigation. class="infoquote "our innovative and less-stuffy approach to providing legal services ensure that the focus ...


Pacific Law: This is an area of law where we do think a specialist firm can be of benefit, the same as with something like Motor Offences. Versus the other side proclaiming their distate for all things stuffy and blasting a thesaurus-worth of synonyms of the word 'modern' across their ...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: A mix of well experienced staff alongside new blood eager to prove themselves within the firm and to their clients is always a good sign. There are many wonderful firms without a single drop of publicity ink. Not so with OTS, who have a wide range of experienced staff su...


OneLaw Chambers: Fortunately, the legal industry itself has managed to bounce back with alternatives to keep the rusty wheels turning and allow those of us who aren't multi-million taking football celebrities to at least have some crumbs from the justice table. class="infoquote "ONEL...


My Law Matters: This can be to highlight a particular case type as a specialty or simply to create a more national branding if their original name is something very local. Because whilst many negative comments can be totally unhelpful (e.g. A good place to get information on this is actu...


Milners Solicitors: The branding is 'Milners' but you will see most title-ing being 'Milners Solicitors' and the website address is based on Milners Law. class="infoquote "Our partners have amassed some seriously heavyweight legal experience working for bigger, more expensive, law firms. ...


Michael Leighton Jones: That's a bigger deal than you might think. However this offer seems to be for Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors' whole case range. So hopefully in this article we'll be able to point out some differences you can look for between the lines and some resources you might not ...


Mckie Legal: But to be honest, in the legal industry it's very common for solicitors to move to larger populations to increase their potential client base. It's just far less likely that someone will rush online to discuss how they feel about their criminal law case or messy divorce than...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: However nothing that reflected negatively on the firm's actual potential services. When many of those clients would have benefited more from psychological treatement assessment or negotiating better coverage for future medical bills. Typically we research a firm completel...


Lindsays Solicitors: Why people fall so easy for this we'll try and put together an article on later. Lindsays are under The Law Society of Scotland, but we're sad to say the Scottish site is far outdone by English Welsh version. But also several more recent additions such as Ben Doherty (qualif...


Levins Solicitors: They provide a huge amount of data user-side for consumers and businesses. Their website is https secure. class="infoquote "For over 30 years now we have continued to build our reputation and to provide legal services of the highest professional standard."< div>...


Lefevres Law: But if your case wins the solicitor you hire may take a cut of your settlement. Scammers typically target law firm clients that are intending to send large sums of money such as a deposit in a house purchase. Minimal strain on your time and your money. The official website w...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: One thing to watch for is the wording. of the firm name) https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 121811 kamlesh-ratilal-samji" is listed as< a> having qualified as a solicitor in 2001. So since the owner of this firm states a solicitor background, we looked him up on t...


Khan Law: The majority have the same sort of sales language, the same images of people shaking hands happily, and the same boasts. class="infoquote "Raees was awarded the 'Rising Star in Law Award' at the prestigious Scottish Asian Business Awards"< div> As mentioned befo...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: No win, no fee means there are no fees should your case lose. We aim to maintain our traditional values whilst offering an effective and first class no win no fee service."< div> Again these statements from the JPS Walker website are types which practically every firm w...

The Legal Practice Ltd: class="infoquote "Whether you are an individual, small business or a more established firm, our approach is to work with you to provide clear, pragmatic, tailored advice from a qualified solicitor."< div> The greatest resource we've found online for helping you c...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: This is done through phishing (similar looking domain names) or even the full on hacking of solicitor's contact lists and emailing clients directly. Entering the full firm name plus location is usually necessary to make sure you see comments about the correct company onlin...


Howe + Co Solicitors: So it's always best to actually read the comments themselves and company responses if available rather than just flicking through star ratings. The firm did have testimonials on their website as well but at the time of us viewing they were stuffed into a tiny video-s...


HooperHyde: That's not always the most helpful information for the firm to offer because it's not as if their competitors are going to state they are 'old-fashioned', 'unfriendly', and 'inexperienced'. Sometimes you don't need a solicitor. Unfortunately that's not always easy when it co...


Hill House Chambers: There are accountants that can help with tax law matters, budget will writing firms, paralegal services, and so on. class="infoquote "I have barristers based in different parts of the UK and they are also more than happy to travel for work so wherever you have a heari...


Hawkridge & Company: That's why some of the largest conveyancing expert firms in the whole UK often have very undeserved 2-3 star average review ratings. Some examples, for this firm you'll see David Johncock qualified in 1981, Tristan Alder in 2004, and Michael Oduwole in 2012. Because we spott...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Of course many firms post testimonials themselves on their site. For example, if a solicitor has a client who pulls out of a deal last minute, the person that got 'gazumped' may leave a negative review about the solicitor out of frustration. The firm does cover Wills...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: (Very, very, tenuously worked out in most cases.) Seeing a founding date of 1985 would therefore seem ancient on a clothing brand. Since the 90s the government has been stripping Legal Aid massively so that these days very few people qualify for help and the lawyers wo...

QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: Jordans Solicitors became QualitySolicitors Jordans. To start off we should try to clarify that 'QualitySolicitors' is not an actual law firm with 100 locations. There are 1-star ratings from people on the other side of a matter such as a property sale. (Hence us bringing it...


Fair Result Ltd: That's where we saw that the firm was pretty new. Again that sounds like it means something but if that firm's office has a bright pink upward sliding door painted with purple Spongebob characters - that would technically count as them providing a 'unique' experience to peop...


Education Law Service Ltd: Whilst ELS do display a few testimonials on their website e.g: class="infoquote "highly professional, advice was thorough and fully informative" "thank you for being very straightforward"< div> We found only one on the public boards. The official website we link...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: But it's really not a negative sign if a law firm you're looking up has few or even zero online comments about them. Some firms will give you 15 mins, some may charge a reduced fee for an initial consultation, and some may offer you a good hour but with a very junior member ...


DV Solicitors: For motor offence court cases you may be better off with a Direct Access barrister. However these ancient establishment date claims are mostly just marketing. Never discuss payments or bank details over email. A few articles back we covered a law firm that had a 5 sta...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There are firms and even individual solicitors that cover a wide range of case types, sort of 'jack-of-all-trades' solicitors. There are several good reasons for this, but the main one being that the majority of them simply take your details and sell them on to the highest b...


David Stinson & Co: But the solicitor may take a cut of your compensation should you win. That way the solicitor can get their fees costs covered. No win, no fee means that if the case loses you have nothing to pay. For David Stinsons and Co they are all positive and look genuine . ...


Cooks Solicitors: Such as the firm that claimed a '150 year history' in an area simply because they moved into the building an older legal practice originally owned. So how are Cooks Solicitors looking on the independent boards? class="infoquote "Graeme Tennant dealt with my Right to ...


CEL Solicitors:
It's always great to have options and many of those just mentioned could save considerable time and money over a regular 'high street' law office. But it can get confusing for those stepping into the arena for the first time. For a career with CEL Solicitors it's ...


Catteralls Solicitors: That's great. There are so many typical high-street-looking types of law firms around these days it can be hard to find differences between them in order to make a more informed decision about which is best for your particular case. Thousands of people have lost millio...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: The jack-of-all-trades situation. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 6629 branch-austin-llp?Solicitors=True" check out the page< a> for any firm on the law society's site you can see alternate trading names, other office locations, staff names,...


BLZ Solicitors: But on scrolling through the personal background information it quickly turns out to actually be quite relevant . These four case types are not exactly the easiest or the best paying in relation to lawyer earnings elsewhere. This is where the balancing act in your bra...


Bilkus & Boyle: But the client will generally blame their own solicitor. Never discuss payment or bank details via email. class="infoquote "Providing quality legal services since 1980"< div> Considering so many firms are quoting histories as far back as the 1800s, this number m...


Bell Lax Solicitors: The public review system has many flaws, but it's still worth checking out. Sometimes the law office provides testimonials on their website. The official website is www.belllax.com (triple 'l') with www.belllax.co.uk redirecting you there too. But that doesn't mean we don't ...


Beers LLP: The branding is always Beers LLP but searches such as 'beers solicitors' or 'beer llp' still brought the correct firm to the top of the results. Alongside their co-workers, the firm as a whole has a decent mix of seasoned professionals with some fresher legs and ideas. ...


Aspire Licensing: Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. provide advice and guidance should a contested hearing need to be arranged and assist with representation ..."< div> The list of services Aspire state on their website is extens...


Argue & Co Legal: The reason for covering that little information nugget about case titles was also to emphasise the point being made in this statement from the Argue & Co website: class="infoquote "We understand that legal action is stressful and daunting for the people involved....


Antony Hodari Solicitors: There shouldn't be too many problems though as the firm name is unique and doesn't use generic terms. Their site is https secure for entering your details into their contact forms. If you check on https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 532203 antony...


Aconveyancing Ltd: Certainly the firm's expertise has been called upon by several news outlets for comment on various issues facing buyers sellers and the property industry in general. On the face of it though, Aconveyancing very much seem to have the experience, client reputation, an...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: There are other options provided by non-solicitor backed companies, or charities, either independent or goverment set up organisations. Indeed the majority of comments we read were written very strangely. So finding feedback from previous clients about how true these statem...
