All Law Ltd: class="infoquote "We focus on ... For example, with Law (aka All Law Ltd) it says solicitor Jeffrey Garland qualified 1982 while Christopher Mccrudden joined the profession in 2016. Their site is HTTPS secure though so you should be able to submit your personal detail...
WYM Legal Ltd: You can usually check this using websites such as The Law Society for that area or https: www.sra.org.uk consumers register organisation ?sraNumber=627673" the Solicitors Regulation Authority< a>. Since both sides always blame the other person's solicitor - you can pret...
Wolf Law Solicitors: So when you see a firm claim to have experienced staff or specialists - you can actually check and compare. The site is https secure for submitting your personal details via the contact form. So the information doesn't actually help you separate this firm from the thousand...
Wilford Smith Solicitors: Most legal professionals will provide a testimonials page and this firm https: www.wilfordsmith.com testimonials " does so here< a>. Which makes these statements almost useless for a consumer trying to tell the firms apart. For example, if you see a firm stating they have...
Wildcat Law Ltd: class="infoquote "Unlike most law firms in England and Wales we offer both Solicitors and Barristers in one firm."< div> This statement on Wildcat Law's site is another that stood out to us as important. This lets you gauge the amount of actual experience a law...
WH Solicitors: They are all very positive, mention Waleed by name and often discussed what the case was for. That's good. Normally our articles use a specific law firm to highlight a point or explain a resource you can use when researching various types of firm, or legal professionals t...
Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: This can be incredibly useful because there are a lot of sneaky ways some firms can use to make it sound as if they have far more experience than they do. Fortunately for people living in England and Wales the Law Society covering your two countries (we're in Sco...
Walker Foster Solicitors: Sadly, the up and coming generation doesn't seem as savvy when it comes to spotting an advert. 'walker foster skipton'. This immediately gives the impression of a large, well-established firm. But you've probably seen alot of good words on other firm's websites too such as ...
UVS Law: Individuals intending to enter the UK under the Immigration Rules must apply for entry clearance before traveling. class="infoquote "We understand that the immigration process can be complex and confusing, which is why our experienced solicitors are dedicated to guidi...
TWB Probate Solicitors: Some of us (most of us) may only require the most minimal of guidance. As you can see from https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 2235 twbprobatesolicitors-limited" the page on this firm< a> - solicitor Howard Brown has been a qualified solicitor since 1984. Not just ...
The Law Partnership Solicitors: But let's take two extremes to highlight this example. Here's the first quote from their site we'll discuss: class="infoquote "The Law Partnership Solicitors have been based in Coventry, West Midlands for 20 years"< div> It may be surprising to learn that not al...
Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: The same for anything in Scotland above the Edinburgh Glasgow line. With offices in Maesteg, Bridgend, and Port Talbot"< div> Being in Wales this firm will undoubtedly have no choice in some of its perceptions. For this firm you'll see they have lawyers Helen Jones and...
Sternberg Reed LLP: Sternberg Reed displays practice staff with experience spanning the past six decades such as Elizabeth Bendall who qualified in 1976, Julian Beard (1989), Kevin Bristow (1996), Judith Gould (2007), Francesca Clay (2014), right up to Danielle Apenteng who joined the professio...
Solidaire Solicitors: But with people able to just look up any firm across the whole of the UK, firms that specialise in one or two areas of law can keep their focus and still do well. Also none of the variants we tried such as solidairelaw.co.uk or solidairesolicitors.co.uk were owned by the fir...
Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: In 25+ years of working in the legal industry, we've never seen such a firm. So what can you look out for to help distinguish between the vast numbers of legal practices out there? How can you find the best balance of options to match your needs? First, note that in ...
PCS Legal Ltd: Barristers with the Bar Standards Council. Again, many people end up picking the conveyancer they like without checking with their mortgage provider first which can cause issues. Solicitors may work with The Law Society. Their site is HTTPS secure for submitting your conta...
Dispute Resolver Consultancy: The firm's website is HTTPS secure for submitting your details on their contact form.
class="infoquote "high level of expertise in resolving difficult and complex matters"
"excellent attention to detail"

Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: For example https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 470186 oakwood-solicitors-limited-" for this firm< a> you can see details about all offices, contact details, people that work there, languages spoken, and so on. Whilst some of their staff are fairly ne...
NJS Law Ltd: After 20+ years of writing articles about the legal industry, we often worry that we can no longer tell the difference between what might interest legal professionals versus the general public. But no firm is ever going to state they are 'slow, unfriendly, and unaffordable'...
SG Murphy Solicitors: 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. These are just little things but you need to keep vigilant - especially with property matters. There is an https: murphysolicitors.c...
MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: It not only provides greater insight into the process itself, but also highlights where you might be able to save time and money using a service such as MPG over hiring a law firm to litigate straight away. But did you know some can help with disputes?
How do you choo...
McCarthy + Co LLP: Ampersands and plus signs cannot be in web addresses. They are not the be-all and end-all of important things to check. Even this quote above from the McCarthy & Co site about being award-winners is a claim made by so many of its rivals. Independent markers such as these c...
Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: Google has changed how it displays information about firms. Because this firm has multiple offices you may need to search individually for reviews. There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger companies as far as we can see. That's because the independent boa...
Mark Croft Solicitor: There have also been concerted efforts to keep the amount a solicitor can earn helping these financially vulnerable people to make it almost cost the solicitor money to take some Legal Aid cases. But it does have necessary and useful information http: www.mark-croft-solici...
Lyons Solicitors: So large firms stayed large and small firms struggled to push their way into the market without good old-fashioned word of mouth . A firm that deals only with one case type such as Criminal Law is definitely a specialist firm. These are absolutely meaningless statements an...
LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: In times gone by (we've been banned from writing 'in the old days') there would be a high street solicitor that would generally handle a wide range of case types.
class="infoquote "Our objective is to provide high quality legal advice through a professionally managed...
UK Divorce Coach: < li>
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. c...
Kee Solicitors Ltd: We have one niche firm on our network handling only life-changing injury claims and another that only represents whistleblowers. The Law Society of Scotland displays https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=kee+solicitors&Postcode=&type=firm" only the most basic< ...
Horsley Law: So checking for an SRA number is a good idea before filling in a contact form. https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 595853 horsley-holdings-ltd?Solicitors=True" For Horsley Law< a> their main solicitor is listed as Ashley Cocker who qualified in 2012....
Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: On the face of it this will make most people imagine a good 30 plus years of experience. In these days of options and everyone wanting things instantly on their own schedule - it may seem odd to hear that many law firms have not changed their opening hours at all. The ...
HCR Legal LLP: This doesn't seem to be just a gimmicky extra to target people. One issue people might encounter at the moment is Google has separated the reviews so that you can only view reviews of each individual office. The main website is www.hcrlaw.com however there are other...
Harrison's Solicitors: You are not walking into the actual office and talking with the staff. That's a solid foundation. If https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 545890 harrisons-thames-valley-solicitors-llp?Solicitors=True" you look up< a> the page for this firm you'll see t...
Guardian Law: class="infoquote "We offer fixed, retained or ad-hoc fees, depending on your requirements"< div> . They are an excellent resources and we absolutely recommend checking through them. Especially those with multiple offices. This firm's official website is www.guardia...
Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: In recent years conveyance solicitors and their clients have been the targets of multiple scams. This is especially true when it comes to property transactions. The Law Society's https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?FirmName=Garden+Stirling+Burnet+&FirmPostcode=&Are...
Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: The idea being that the older the firm, the more experienced it is. Not every firm is upfront about their areas of law or years of experience like Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors. If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 475767 goldsmith-bowers-ltd" ...
Girlings Solicitors LLP: In between those extremes you can also have larger firms with each individual solicitor specialising in certain areas of law. But they also indicate a solid history, experience, and a sense of real pride in their work. class="infoquote "At Girlings we embrace change...
Frei Solicitors: (A thing we assume they learned from the rise of Kardashian-style role-models before them.) So while a specialist firm to help people with the 'problem' of massive wealth might sound odd to most - it will be welcome news to those who have built their wealth on being carefu...
Foster & Coleman Ltd: There are several similarly named firms such as 'foster & foster' and 'foster law' that popped up while we were searching. class="infoquote "With a reputation of providing prompt, practical and cost-effective solutions in a number of practice areas, they can guide yo...
Farah Family Law: The client will therefore genuinely be benefiting from specialist expertise. The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details through their online contact form. So don't dismiss any offer to talk first. They want someone who only does these types of cases day ...
Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: That's a tactic you simply don't see anywhere else in legal matters. class="infoquote "Over 10 years post qualification experience, gained within 2 regional and national law firms"< div> A quick note on navigation as the branding has quite a long official name....
England & Derbyshire LLP: The SRA is the Solicitors Regulation Authority and you can see - this firm is https: www.sra.org.uk consumers register organisation ?sraNumber=623390" definitely registered with them< a>. This is because you can't have an ampersand in web addresses. Those are very differe...
Nero Legal Ltd: It sounds great. So what other things can you look for when trying to pick out the best legal professional for you?
Often what a firm focuses on can reveal differences between them. Negative reviews therefore abound. Some firms offer Blog sections that often contain ...
EMD Law LLP: Some people have https: www.telegraph.co.uk money katie-investigates thought-did-everything-right-100k-house-deposit-transferred " handed their entire house deposit< a> into a fraudster's bank account after receiving an official-looking email saying the payment details ha...
EDC Lord & Co Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our core values are integrity and trust, the encouragement of innovation, teamwork and the continuing personal development of everyone at the firm."< div>
What are people saying about the firm on the usual independent forums https: www.googl...
Eatons Solicitors: So absolutely, for law firms at least you need to read the actual comments for context. Domain names are only around £10-£15 a year, so we don't understand why so many property firms don't buy at least a few of the variants to avoid their clients getting tricke...
Drummond Miller LLP: On top of that, property buying selling is the only legal service product we know where the opposite side consistently leaves negative reviews as well. The official website follows the firm's name so www.drummondmiller.co.uk as the firm is not 'Drummond & Miller' as we've se...
Defank Solicitors: There are ways you can find out information yourself to help determine whether a particular firm is right for you or not . For example, a Personal Injury case may have zero costs up front or even at the end of the case since lawyer fees are typically paid by the third party...
Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: So you may see any of these on reference, review or information sites such as the Law Society or SRA. But you can end up with a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law firm or a 1-year novice solicitor from a 200-year old brand name. With so much sales language to wad...
Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: So they are involved in some of the biggest life changes people can experience. The firm today is Cullimore Dutton Solicitors and hopefully we'll be able to enlighten you a little bit about firms that handle property matters as well.
As for years of experience, the...
Crockett & Co Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Crockett & Co Solicitors was formed in 1991"< div>
The qualification dates and experience of the actual solicitors within a firm can be a great indicator and give peace of mind. For example the founding solicitor at https: solicitors.lawsocie...
Cook Legal Ltd:
class="infoquote "kept us well informed the whole time"
"answered all of our questions promptly and with full clarity"
"extremely supportive and incredibly efficient"
"we received regular communications and advice"< div>
Those are a few snippets from thir...
Calio Claims:
So what can you use? Like most companies, Calio Claims provides client testamonials on their website. Because Calio Claims is - to quote the firm - 'Powered by Lindsays'. Some firms do charge a fee if they win. So what are the independent boards such as Google, Trust...
Buchanan & Co Solicitors: We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years and have never seen a property law firm without such comments left. People have handed over https: www.lawsociety.org.uk public for-public-visitors common-legal-issues payment-diversion-fraud" tens of thousands ...
Brodies LLP Solicitors: Over the past years the number of property clients of law firms getting scammed has risen dramatically. Google has made some changes recently though which you may need to work around. Rather than simply showing you all reviews for a company, they may show zero reviews when ...
Brian Barr Solicitors: But expertise is not the whole story. 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. This firm, like many others, provides customer testimonials on their website:
c...
Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: As most fraud related to legal services happens via email. There are thousands of websites targeting potential law firm clients to try and get them to hand over their case details. To be sure you are on the website of an actual solicitor you can look the firm up on the SRA w...
Backhouse Solicitors: (That's mighty praise from our Scottish firm!) It means that when you see statements like this (above) on a lawyer's website you can actually verify their claims about expertise and experience.
If you check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473112 backhouse-...
Amy King Legal: If it was an award for best logo design, then that's not really helpful towards picking them as a legal representative. But always make sure you are on the correct website and do not discuss bank details or payments via email - no matter how official the email might look. We...
ACSL Solicitors Ltd:
We know this does happen alot with property matters, where clients of the other side start leaving negative messages about the buyer seller's solicitor. However, that is not the case. We have often championed the website of The Law Society of those two countries for ...
A City Law Firm Ltd:
class="infoquote "We are proud to be different. It's more likely for firms to just say they are 'award winning' and make no reference to what that award might be. They have more information about their setup and what each award means https: www.legal500.com united...
Two Harcourt Buildings:
Coming back to the differences in setup mentioned before, a law chambers is not like a law firm of solicitors. Two Harcourt Building's official website is the helpfully short www.2hb.co.uk but www.2hb.com is not owned by them and there are several variants such as w...
