Wilford Smith Solicitors: Clearly there is not a 200-year-old solicitor sitting behind the desk.

Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: We've known several firms (us included) that needed to take a website offline for days or even weeks because of issues with hackers or just Google messing around with the indexing. class="infoquote "For more information on our services please call 01274 652 555"< div...
Walker Foster Solicitors: If all firms claim to be modern, friendly, and experienced (which they will because none will claim to be unfriendly, out of date, or inexperienced) then it's not useful information for decision making.

UVS Law: Each category has different requirements and eligibility criteria, and the application process may vary depending on the type of visa being sought. So how do you find the best immigration service for your particular needs? class="infoquote "We are committed to provi...
TWB Probate Solicitors: But there is an area of law with some confusion when it comes to specialisms. While we are concerned about the number of new firms springing up offering 'fast fuss free divorces' - the idea of completely ignoring the concept of advice and just filling in forms has b...
The Law Partnership Solicitors: That's because there are problems and delays in a house transaction 99.9999% of the time.

Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: The age of a firm is irrelevant. The firm does have testimonials on their website. So for a firm to have consistent 4+ star ratings in the real estate industry is unusual. Conveyancing firms normally have the lowest ratings out of legal services on the web. With offices in...
Sternberg Reed LLP: However we always recommend reading the actual comments when it comes to law firm reviews rather than flicking through star ratings. There are always websites to tell you the "10 best" of something or you'll have your own brand loyalty already. There are lots of other...
Solidaire Solicitors: If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 33660 solidaire-law-limited?Solicitors=True" the page for Solidaire< a> you'll see their two main solicitors qualified in 2001 and 2015 respectively. For example, as we were searching today us...

PCS Legal Ltd: For example, you can see that PCS Legal https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 1458 pcs-legal" is registered with them< a>. It may surprise you to learn that not all firms advertising that they deal with property matters have an actual solicitor on staff...
Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: We should make a quick note on navigation. More importantly you can see the actual qualification dates and areas of law for each registered solicitor at the firm. A selection of seasoned minds with hopefully some fresh eyes mixed in? class="infoquote "kept fully infor...
NJS Law Ltd: A quick note on navigation as while the main branding is NJS Law but the firm was formerly known as Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors. So how can you tell whether one firm is better for your needs compared to any others? The wording may often sound great on all the s...
Nero Legal Ltd: The official site is www.nerolegal.com and currently variants such as www.nerolegal.co.uk do not redirect there. Nero does display testimonials on their website, but most people tend to prefer the public comments. While it may affect your impression of the firm as a whole - ...
MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd:

SG Murphy Solicitors:
class="infoquote "At SG Murphy Solicitors we want to provide a level of customer service that will exceed your expectations. Those are all great things to be as a law firm, but certainly there are no firms claiming to be the opposite. Unless you put that in exactly ...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd:
On this occasion it seems that MJV have not used jargon to hide anything.
A few tips on independent comment boards: Read through those comments and never rely on average star ratings. Tens of thousands of pounds have ended up in the pockets of fraudsters. We've...
McCarthy + Co LLP:

Because this firm handles conveyancing matters please be very careful when discussion payment details.

Mark Croft Solicitor: That's how uncommon it is. For some reason, the buyer doesn't bother checking up on this before transferring the entire house deposit to the fraudster's bank account.
class="infoquote "I am available to undertake criminal legal aid agency work."< div>
Again this...
Lyons Solicitors: But first you need to know a key difference in the types of wording some firms use to describe their levels of experience. So large firms stayed large and small firms struggled to push their way into the market without good old-fashioned word of mouth . However, despite it ...
LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: Unfortunately there have been thousands of law firm clients targeted in recent years such as those who've ended up https: data.actionfraud.police.uk cms wp-content uploads 2022 03 2b.-Conveyancing_Leaflet.pdf" handing over their entire house deposit< a> to a fraudster's b...
QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: That's also how they are displayed on the website of The Law Society of England and Wales which is a resource we are constantly recommending .

Kee Solicitors Ltd:
This is more important for clients hiring lawyers that deal with property matters than family law clients really. But we can confidently state it's not. It also seems to show a bit more faith in their services , as they are not in control of all the reviews Trustpilo...
Horsley Law: Horsley's website is HTTPS secure which means your personal details should be safe when submitted via their contact form. 100% Satisfied Clients."< div>

HCR Legal LLP:
class="infoquote "Clients value our honesty, commercially focused advice and hard work."< div>
To check up on any statements a firm makes about happy clients, people usually turn to the public review boards . Because on the site it states their Worcester, Birm...
Harrison's Solicitors: www.harrisonssolicitors.co.uk is not currently owned by the firm and there will be plenty of variations like it also un-owned.

Guardian Law: At the time of writing we could only find a total of four reviews on the most popular boards https: www.google.com search?q=guardian+law+nottingham&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsZbN_HU50tpkEOaHnK41vCAgn0gRQ%3A1666210938735&ei=elxQY5HBLJSKhbIPj6ydqAU&ved=0ahUKEwiR...
Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: If you look up the reviews of some of the largest conveyancing firms in the UK, you'll see many have an average of only 3 or even just 2 stars.

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our team of industry experts have been brought together to create a client focused business which understands our clients' individual needs"< div>

Some other things of note we spotted on the Girling's websites (they have two) were statements such as this which showed a keeness...
Frei Solicitors: As you may have noticed if you've flicked through the law firm listings pages of this site, we are not a directory listing every legal practice under the sun across the UK.
Not everyone with lots of valuable assets likes to burn money, despite how fashionable doing so...
Foster & Coleman Ltd:
This is simply not true any more.

Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services:
This is hugely important to note because for property matters you absolutely need to make sure you are on the correct site and only discussing the sale with your firm. The first thing people tend to do to check up on this, though, is read public review boards such as...
England & Derbyshire LLP: This means that once you enter your details into their website, they will then sell your details on to an actual law firm. We would therefore recommend utilising the law society pages for this as well, because each solicitor will often have their case expertise listed.
...
EMD Law LLP: At least this sounds as though you will get to talk to an actual solicitor about your case.
class="infoquote "The firm has two offices; the Head Office is in Staplehurst, Kent and there is a branch office in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex."< div>
It's really im...

Eatons Solicitors:
Over the past decade there has been a massive upsurge of people https: www.telegraph.co.uk money katie-investigates thought-did-everything-right-100k-house-deposit-transferred " sending their home deposit< a> to a scammer. That could simply mean they have 10 member...
Drummond Miller LLP: That was until the internet came along. 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.

Defank Solicitors: It is really important to note exactly where you should be going and the official details of the firm you choose because there is so much fraud at the moment targeting clients of property lawyers. But you can get a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law brand, and a ...
Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: The site is also https secure for submitting contact details via their online form. The firm's branding is Cullimore Dutton (not Cullimore and Dutton) which are two unique names so nearly all misspellings we tried brought up the same firm in a search. Cullimore Dutton seem ...
Crockett & Co Solicitors: This firm's claim of 1991 seems quite reasonable. It also wouldn't be too difficult for some people to misspell the name with the double K at the end. So no matter how old the firm is, it's the experience of the solicitor that matters most .
class="infoquote "Crocket...
Cook Legal Ltd: So when they see lots of law firms stating local roots or activities it may seem like a marketing ploy. Many firms provide testimonials on their websites. However when law firms do this it tends to be more about continuing the idea of solicitors as local business fixtures, r...
Calio Claims: For anything else you'll probably be under the Lindsays departments. For the new generations of potential clients looking up a law firm on the internet, they are simply more likely to want to use a firm called "Swift Claims" compared to "Swift & Johnson Solicitors Ltd". Beca...
Buchanan & Co Solicitors: People have handed over https: www.lawsociety.org.uk public for-public-visitors common-legal-issues payment-diversion-fraud" tens of thousands of pounds< a> in house deposits to fraudsters over the past couple of decades. For example, if a firm says they have '20 years e...
Brodies LLP Solicitors: As you can see, most were positive like these. With the birth of the internet, people can now choose from hundreds of thousands of legal service providers across the nation rather than being tied to their local high street law practice. However, don't get complacent. To s...
Brian Barr Solicitors:
The reason people prefer the public boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc.

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: It seems so long ago that you would have a handful of solicitor offices in your local high street that handled everything. Some were complaining about third parties related to the case, while others simply left a negative star rating with no explanation. The official main si...
Backhouse Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Book your free 30 - minute Consultation"< div>
We're still very surprised that this offer from Backhouse's solicitors is something we can praise.

ACSL Solicitors Ltd: No variants we tried such as www.acslsolicitors.co.uk worked either. Some firms provide staff profile pages which we think aren't just a good side offering, but essential these days. They also seem to have a genuine help article section with everything from basic 'We're Sel...
A City Law Firm Ltd: But they certainly sound as if they take their role in consumer information seriously. Don't make assumptions because for all you know it may be an award for best logo design and nothing to do with their actual law experience. We ran a poll a few years back which stated onl...
