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: As already covered, this firm's name to search for on The Law Society website and the Solicitors Regulatory Authority website is All Law Ltd. class="infoquote "Our Client's are our number one priority."< div> The most common check people do when researchi...


WYM Legal Ltd: So what things can be useful? First it should be noted that not all firms stating they deal with Property matters are actual firms of solicitors. We've often praised The Law Society of England & Wales for its excellent user side offering. class="infoquot...


Wolf Law Solicitors: All firms can call themselves 'leading' in one thing or another. All personal injury firms should not charge you a penny up front or if your case loses. It's the same firm as far as we can tell. . class="infoquote "Our expert team of personal injury specialists can ...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: We think it's quite a pointless claim which Wilford Smith and many others thankfully do not make. So they could have 10x staff members with only 4 years of experience each. This was true for all industries, not just law. Because you could get a 1-year newbie solicitor from...


Wildcat Law Ltd: However if you think about it no firm is ever going to claim to be the opposite - i.e. For example thousands of people have handed their entire house deposit when buying a house straight into a fraudster's bank account. They have a very useful user side offering of data rega...


WH Solicitors: You can see for WH their main lawyer Waleed Hassan has been practising law since 2011. It may be a phrase we dislike resorting to, but it fits. Also whilst the branding and page content focuses on the name 'WH Solicitors' the Law Society listing and some review sites ...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: For example www.waterstoneps.co.uk currently does not redirect you to the correct site. When there is a difference between the firm name and the web address it is sometimes a good idea to bookmark it just in case. class="infoquote "For more information on our...


Walker Foster Solicitors: But hopefully the information we provide is helpful generally. A quick note on navigation. The official site is www.walkerfoster.com although there is a mirror site on www.walkerfoster.co.uk it is currently showing as not-https secure. That does not dismiss the great q...


UVS Law: Be careful of such wording on other sites. UVS Law is a more recently set up branding than others, but it should be pointed out that the age of the firm bears no indication about the experience of the lawyer that will actually handle your case. Individuals intending to...


TWB Probate Solicitors: Just that it's not always crystal clear who you are hiring. Some of us (most of us) may only require the most minimal of guidance. class="infoquote "... clients complete a relatively comprehensive questionnaire which is followed up by a series of e-meetings proves mo...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: (I know, it sounds simple now.) class="infoquote "We provide sound, practical advice in many aspects of the legal industry."< div> Luckily there is a great resource on the website of The Law Society of England & Wales. Always read the comments. If a firm ...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: For any firm or individual solicitor https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 466551 thomas-and-thomas-solicitors-limited" you can look up< a> whether they are registered along with any other trading names, alternative contact details, and so on. The .com ...


Sternberg Reed LLP: Claiming you get better personalised attention within a smaller firm rather than be lost in the crowd. But the most common way people confirm about a company's 'exceptional customer service' is by checking the independent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, ...


Solidaire Solicitors: This means you are able to verify the 'experience' level of any solicitor you might be thinking of using. They also provide the qualification dates of any solicitors. Those are both good and varied levels of experience to have within a firm. As you can see they are ...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: But most people never take them at their word and will always look up reviews left on independent boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. The main points seem to be that a larger firm will have more resources and 'weight', but you might feel as just another case numbe...


PCS Legal Ltd: Their site is HTTPS secure for submitting your contact details for a callback. It's a fraught industry for reviews. For example, you can see that PCS Legal https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 1458 pcs-legal" is registered with them< a>. class...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: This should mean everyone has a much wider range of choice when it comes to getting help. That's much rarer than you might think and indicates a far better chance your solicitor will be directly involved in the case. More importantly you can see the actual qualification da...


NJS Law Ltd: People make mistakes when leaving reviews. class="infoquote "NJS Law understands that each client is unique and our experienced solicitors' teams will work with you to provide advice and solutions tailored to your individual circumstances."< div> The main sourc...


Nero Legal Ltd: Our goal is to help people spot differences between firms . For example, the Nero website contains various help articles such as 'A Guide To Self Build Property', 'A Guide For First Time Buyers', 'A Guide To The Missives', etc. Our commitment is to donate money from our tur...

MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: But the RICS do not supply the level of consumer help we see on sites such as The Law Society of England & Wales. class="infoquote "Since 1996 MPG have been providing professional support to the construction industry worldwide with our specialities in Quantity Survey...


SG Murphy Solicitors: Much of the language they use sounds the same and even the images on their websites look the same - professional looking people, smiling, and shaking hands. class="infoquote "Average time to receive a call back - 30 mins"< div> Keep your eye out for statements ...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: We therefore turn to the same places most consumers do which is the public review board such as https: www.google.com search?q=mjv+law+Thornton-Cleveleys&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsalxGo7bn__bt5tCtdwUowu1oS7AA%3A1663791418678&ei=OnErY_-GKaWShbIP6JWx0Ao&ved=0ah...


McCarthy + Co LLP: In the end, all it showed us was the address and phone number for McCarthy & Co. class="infoquote "An Award Winning Team of Solicitors With A Personal Touch"< div> So what can you do to discern which legal service provider is best for you if you're in an area w...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: So what is available to help you distinguish one firm from another? class="infoquote "We have a highly professional team of legal experts who you will be in safe hands with."< div> This claim from their site will also be made by pretty much every legal service p...


Mark Croft Solicitor: At the time of writing the site was not https secure so it might be better to ring with your queries until this is sorted. In fact, you could easily end up with a 1-year qualified newbie solicitor from a 200-year old firm, but a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old fir...


Lyons Solicitors: Today's article focuses on the law firm Lyons Solicitors based in Bristol. Sometimes simply because they received an official-looking email telling them the bank details had changed. that they are 'unfriendly' and 'outdated') then these great sounding words don't help in the...


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. All linked together in an easy to use database. class="infoquote "LS Legal Solicitors is a multi-service, specialist, diverse and dynamic law fir...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: Sadly, not all law societies provide such great detail. 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> Tha...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our experienced family lawyers will listen and understand your circumstances, before agreeing a plan to achieve the best outcome for you and your family."< div> There is an amazing resource online that provides you with a wealth of details abo...


Horsley Law: However, while that is still good advice in our opinion - we know it can be difficult to find information and background on newer firms. But if you don't find many reviews of a firm, don't take that as a negative sign. Pay special attention if the firm you're looking ...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: Heritage Park is listed on the other source we recommend, the website of the https: www.barstandardsboard.org.uk barristers-register 9A9F746B5CF632693D466CB8446CBB2C.html" Bar Standards Council< a> for reasons we'll come to in a moment. For law firms there may be far less...


HCR Legal LLP: That's a huge range of experience levels within the firm mixing wise old heads with fresh eyes - which can't possibly be a bad thing. We highly recommend reading through actual comments left rather than simply flicking through star ratings. But no matter what the size of a...


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. So if you see that nam...


Guardian Law: That's because while many people are very happy to post about the great pizza or hotel stay, they are less inclined to publicly discuss their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or criminal convictions. that they are not as easy to find for law professionals compared to other industr...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: In recent years conveyance solicitors and their clients have been the targets of multiple scams. There is a firm showing up as GSB Properties in our background searches but that seems to be the old name for this same firm. The firm's official website is www.gsbsolicitors.co....


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: We've seen variants such as 'goldsmith and bowers' showing up in searches due to the number of law firms that use that separator for partner names in the firm. If you need to check up on any firm you can usually do so through their local Law Society. For example, this snip...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: Big thumbs up. As mentioned there are two sites. Girlings point them out which is good to see. But they also indicate a solid history, experience, and a sense of real pride in their work. Both are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms. A...


Frei Solicitors: Founded by Hakan Doganci, this is a one-off firm on our network. It's time consuming and costly. While they are all clearly positive, they are also very few in number. As you may have noticed if you've flicked through the law firm listings pages of this site, we are not a ...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: This is the main way people judge a firm's 'reputation'. There were some comments available when we looked: class="infoquote "they have made me and my family very happy" "Outstanding service" "comitment to their clients requirements"< div> But note that wh...


Farah Family Law: One firm in Preston demanded a £5000 retainer before having a consultation. Be alert and always ring up the official number you have if you have any doubts.. Farah Family Law certainly would certainly qualify as such a specialist in the minds of most people. ...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: There are a lot of terms to contend with when searching for help with 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 lon...


England & Derbyshire LLP: The .com does not redirect you there though and as you can see, the "&" part of the name is not in the web address. But to be sure a website is not misleading you with clever wording, it's best to check for an SRA number. "england" and "derbyshire". Those are very differen...


EMD Law LLP: only 8% of you apparently trust company provided comments. There's plenty of experience within this law office with solicitor Robert Taylor having qualified in 1977 and Elizabeth Dumbleton in 1999. While we have seen firms offering a full initial hour free for cases such a...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Far too many people https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" new="target have handed their entire house deposit< a> to fraudsters after believing an official-looking email telling them the payme...

Drummond Miller LLP: So what can you use? People typically rush to review forums when thinking about using a firm. class="infoquote "Drummond Miller is a leading firm of solicitors with offices in 5 locations throughout central Scotland and comprises 14 Partners and over 100 staff...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: The firm's website is HTTPS secure for submitting your details on their contact form. It's possible this could be because the firm is using generic terms in the name - i.e. The .co.uk versions for each are also not in use. But it's best to speak to an expert about your spe...

Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: We see many legal practices touting 'established in' dates with the obviously intention of implying they are more experienced and well-established than others. That's a wide cross-section of seasoned heads with fresh eyes if you don't mind mixing some metaphors. But for an...


Defank Solicitors: As you go through the hundreds of law firm websites available for legal services in the UK, you've probably noticed a lot use the same sort of wording, images, and make the same claims such as being the 'best' or 'leading' at various things. As of writing this, the firm show...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: This combined with our impressive depth of knowledge and expertise ensures that we provide a solution focused approach for our clients."< div> For example, you may not have noticed the difference in wording when it comes to claims about establishment. However, the 2nd ...


Crockett & Co Solicitors: We have hundreds of law firms registered on our network and only a handful will accept clients who might be seeking legal aid.

Cook Legal Ltd: Of course since the birth of the internet, anyone under the age of 30 will have no clue what that feels like. provide expert legal advice, delivered in an approachable, straight-talking way, backed by a high standard of client care."< div> When people want to get...


Calio Claims: So what can you use? Like most companies, Calio Claims provides client testamonials on their website. It's just that the Calio Claims branding team focus solely on Personal Injury matters. So what are the independent boards such as Google, Trustpilot, and Facebook sa...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: But according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you put any stock in company provided reviews. class="infoquote "We are a long established firm of Solicitors and Conveyancers who are proud to serve the communities of Staveley, Chesterfield, Kiveton Park and Shef...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: There is usually no background check or even effort to check they are a real law firm. However, this wealth of choice comes with its own difficulties of being able to tell each firm apart and decide which is best for you . Not many will be able to boast these sorts o...


Brian Barr Solicitors: There are plenty which simply string out a list of 'highly recommends!' which is of no use to anyone. It provides a wealth of information on any of the firms and people registered with them including trading names, alternative contact details, other offices, regulatory statu...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent user side database for people to research legal service providers. class="infoquote "we bring together a wealth of industry-specific knowledge and expertise"< div> There will be no law firm on the internet c...


Backhouse Solicitors: It's also pushed many law firms to create hundreds of pages on their website to try and get listed at least somewhere for some search term you might type in. Not only is that an extraordinary number of reviews for a UK law firm, but the fact they handle conveyancing and ...


Amy King Legal: 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. We've covered the legal industry for over twenty years now. Also, you could ver...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: So you may look at this firm's claim of starting in 2009 as indicating much less experience. Some firms provide staff profile pages which we think aren't just a good side offering, but essential these days. Absolutely, a firm that indicates potential pricing on their site i...


A City Law Firm Ltd: It's more likely for firms to just say they are 'award winning' and make no reference to what that award might be. Today's article also focuses on things you can do to research a firm you're thinking of using. Some people have https: todaysconveyancer.co.uk conveyancing-...


Two Harcourt Buildings: Clarity for the public should be just as important to the Bar Standards Council but, at the moment at least, it does not seem to be. Hopefully that will change soon but the ruling body (The Bar Standards Board) are not the most forward thinking organisation when it comes to ...
