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.

WYM Legal Ltd: However, in this instance, CLC accreditation is not the only stamp of approval. Unlike most other organisations, this one provides a wealth of information on any firm registered with it. However, when it comes to law firms we always recommend people read the actual revi...


Wolf Law Solicitors: So when you see a firm claim to have experienced staff or specialists - you can actually check and compare. 'wolf law solicitors wirral' . We have seen some sites peg the firm in Birkenhead, Hoylake, Prenton, and Oxton. If one firm says they will charge a 'success fee' of 2...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: However other companies may use clever wording to try and make their claims seem bigger than they are. Which makes these statements almost useless for a consumer trying to tell the firms apart. On that topic we should cover some notes about navigation. We are your tru...


Wildcat Law Ltd: class="infoquote "The team at Wildcat Law consists of a number of experienced Barristers, Solicitors and a Chartered Wealth Manager."< div> Hopefully those insights can help you when researching any firm. This lets you gauge the amount of actual experience a la...


WH Solicitors: Especially for certain case types such as Divorce, Criminal Law, Motoring Offences, Conveyancing, and Immigration - the latter of which is what the firm clearly handles. People are just often far less inclined to publicly discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, or brain injuries...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: So how old the firm's logo really doesn't help you know how experienced the actual staff are. At the time of writing it looks as though the firm are in the middle of updating their website with a holding page stating this is taking place. For example if you see any firm stat...


Walker Foster Solicitors: These are some snippets and they are clearly positive. That does not dismiss the great qualities of smaller or even newer firms that might not offer such on their website. This immediately gives the impression of a large, well-established firm. The official site is www.wal...


UVS Law: Failure to meet the requirements for entry clearance may result in the denial of leave to enter on arrival. So how do you find the best immigration service for your particular needs? class="infoquote "We are committed to providing exceptional legal services to indiv...


TWB Probate Solicitors: It's always best to try and stay safe online and not take any unnecessary risks. Just that it's not always crystal clear who you are hiring. However, considering the changes governments can make and even the huge difference between how life insurance policies can be paid ou...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: The age of the firm's branding does not really tell you anything about the experience of the solicitor you'll get. 'Divide the number of case types by the number of solicitors' is in no way a perfect rule. saying about The Law Partnership? class="infoquote "worked h...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: Beyond that, you have firms claiming to be 'local' which sounds great. That's because hardly anyone is ever happy with how long it takes and there are always problems (most of which are outside the solicitor's control but still they get the blame). No matter how many ...


Sternberg Reed LLP: The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your details on their contact form. They offer a considerable amount of useful information to users. The firm provides a considerable number of help articles on their website across a range of cases and subjects. class=...


Solidaire Solicitors: One positive benefit of the internet has been the rise in specialist law firms . Things like this are important to note as there is https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" a lot of fraud< a> targeting customers of law firms at the moment. Solidaire Solicitors is the ...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: class="infoquote "I specialise solely in residential Landlord and Tenant law, acting for Landlords.

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. But unfortunately when the only shop win...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: So really we don't think 'established' or 'founding' dates are helpful in any way. That will also give you a better idea of any themes - positive or negative. Don't fall for stuff like that. If you visit the Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors' website it may look exactl...


Nero Legal Ltd: However, Google has changed how it displays reviews so you may need to enter the town name for any firm you're trying to research (e.g. Of course, thousands of law firms get involved in charitable work as well. The sales language can get repetitive too. Most being loc...

MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: It would be great to see this from other regulatory bodies. If you are a company that deals with property or infrastructure though - you definitely will. The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via their online form. But did you know some can help wit...


SG Murphy Solicitors: In the last piece we wrote the firm had multiple complaints about feeling fobbed off onto junior staff. However the Law Society for Northern Ireland, like its Scottish counterpart, lags far behind in consumer help resources. Watch out for general themes both positive and neg...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: It usually relates to the length of time the firm has been running or the highest number of years a specific lawyer at the firm has been working at the job. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 595126 mjv-co-solicitors-ltd" check out the page< a> for this fir...


McCarthy + Co LLP: class="infoquote "we bring over 30 years of sterling legal experience to each of our cases"< div> . At the moment Google seem to have changed their setup so that you cannot search for reviews on a firm in general - only on a specific office location. This is especial...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: Because this firm has multiple offices you may need to search individually for reviews. Most firms will use words such as 'modern', 'friendly' and 'professional'. There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger companies as far as we can see. We've also seen a C...


Mark Croft Solicitor: Todays article will focus on the motor offence solicitor Mark Croft as there are some interesting things to point out regarding his services and website which can help when trying to find a way to distinguish one firm from another. This isn't a huge deal, however, be...


Lyons Solicitors: class="infoquote "Specialising in Residential and Commercial Conveyancing, Family Law, Personal Injury, Wills & Probate and Powers of Attorney."< div> This is another word that can confuse people when it comes to legal services - 'specialising'. Sometimes simply...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: However according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you trusted reviews provided by companies on their own website.

Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: Whether any of these firms actually have a qualified, legal professional take your call is not always stated. But variants such as www.heritagepark.co.uk and others all seem to be owned by other firms. As you can see the majority are positive . On the face of it this will m...

Girlings Solicitors LLP: That's much rarer than you might think. There are separate reviews for the Personal Injury Claims department if you type that in.. Be aware that www.girlings.co.uk is a totally different firm doing Lettings. The second guarantees you won't have to pay anything if your case w...


Frei Solicitors: Because when you target a very small market of individuals with your services, getting feedback publicly can take a lot longer. This is where being a niche firm can sometimes cause an issue. The company provides quite a few on their testimonials page: class="infoquo...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: Whilst that may have been a good indication of a qualified firm during the last century, people move jobs now and create new firms much easier. The site is https secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. People have no problem jumping online to typ...


Farah Family Law: But always pay attention to what site you are on and who is actually emailing you. Family Law isn't just divorce and child custody. One firm in Preston demanded a £5000 retainer before having a consultation. Every single one of them remember ringing round for a solicit...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: That's a tactic you simply don't see anywhere else in legal matters. This is actually more significant than you might first think. Be alert throughout your transaction. Both deal with preparing contracts, land registry searches, local authority access checks, money transfe...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: They all seem more of an ombudsmen type of process. Google has also made changes so that reviews of a firm will often not pop up with just their name entered into the search. Many law firms have started offering this service and using this process but there are also a number...

Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: But for any law firm we highly recommend reading the actual reviews rather than simply flicking through star ratings.

Calio Claims: class="infoquote "With one of the largest personal injury teams in Scotland, we help people secure the compensation they deserve in relation to all types of claims."< div> A quick note on navigation due to the different names. This is true for negative issues a...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: Buchanan and Company do have a Testimonials page on their website. Unfortunately even the best firm out there will end up with complaints about delays in property sales. But this is true for most reviews about law firms and is something you should bear in mind when trying to...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: This is true for all services from barristers to baristas. You need to find the things that set firms apart from each other, not what just sounds good on a webpage next to an image of lawyers smiling and shaking hands. Read our case studies to find out more."< div> Acc...
