  Harrison's Solicitors: 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 customers leaving either praise or tangible hatred over time.

  Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: We've been writing in the legal industry for over twenty years and conveyancing firms with star ratings in the 4s is actually rather unusual. class="infoquote "We want to help you achieve a stress-free & straight forward homemove or remortgage."< div> Of course...
  
  
  England & Derbyshire LLP: That could be because the firm's name uses terms usually associated with location - i.e. It isn't always clear when this is the case though and the term "specialist" gets thrown around a lot.

  Drummond Miller LLP: But the reason we're making a fuss about making sure you're on the correct site, is that over the past decade or so it's become far too common to see headlines about https: www.which.co.uk news article friday-afternoon-fraud-the-scam-that-wipes-out-your-house-deposit-in-se...

  A City Law Firm Ltd: That's very different to a firm having a 10 or 15 year experienced lawyer on staff.

Surprisingly dispite the generic words in the name, when we typed 'a ...
  
  
  Two Harcourt Buildings: So whilst The Direct Access scheme is a major, massive, and immensely helpful shake up to the legal system allowing members of the public to deal direct with their representation rather than paying a solicitor to be a go-between - there is still a long way to go.
