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.


WYM Legal Ltd: and an unusual three letter start - we've seen plenty of typos in our search function. For today's example we're in the world of property sales highlighting the firm WYM Legal. class="infoquote "We provide the best customer service in the industry, combined with moder...


Woodstock Legal Services: Commentaries from other businesses willing to stamp their approval have more weight in our opinion. They include direct contact information and work history details of each staff member which is perfect. You'll see Peter Fowler qualified in 1974, Roger Clayson in 1981, Ni...


Wolf Law Solicitors: So the merits of the firm as a whole should be taken into consideration. We have seen some sites peg the firm in Birkenhead, Hoylake, Prenton, and Oxton. It's a good place to get independent background about a legal service provider. If you are looking up the firm on Goo...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: class="infoquote "You can be confident that by instructing us, we will take care of all your legal matters throughout your lifetime, providing creative solutions and protecting your best interests."< div> The official website we link to above is www.wilfordsmith...


Wildcat Law Ltd: If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today you'll probably have noticed a lot use the same sort of 'sales language'. The firms branding is quite unique so even error searches we tried such as 'wildcat legal' brought up the correct firm. You can hire a bar...


WH Solicitors: The law and requirements are complex and they are always changing."< div> This second quote from the firm's own website highlights why some areas of law require a specialist that pretty much eats, sleeps, and drinks their craft. So full time at just immigration asylum ...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: 'waterstone partnership bradford'. This is all the more important if you are looking for help with a conveyancing matter because conveyance clients https: monzo.com blog we-sent-our-house-deposit-to-a-fraudster-who-posed-as-our-lawyer" have been targeted mercilessly< a> b...


Walker Foster Solicitors: Walker Foster has a staff page on their website where you can read about each individual staff member but they also provide direct contact details for each. How many times have you read 'award winning' with no mention of what the award was for? If it was for best logo desi...


UVS Law: However this can only be true if they have individual solicitors within the firm each dealing with a select area of law. You could end up with a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 50-year established firm, or a 40-year veteran lawyer from a brand new law office. While it's ve...


TWB Probate Solicitors: There are a multitude of options in between. The Law Society of England & Wales however has a wonderful site with a wealth of information on every firm registered including languages spoken, contact details, staff, links to regulatory associations, as well as the qu...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: Many of the things we do from a business vetting side might be useful to you from a consumer side as well. That's because there are problems and delays in a house transaction 99.9999% of the time. The official site we link to above is www.tlps.co.uk and is HTTPS secure . Pl...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: They all sound great descriptions, but as there are no firms claiming to be 'unfriendly', 'newbies', or 'out of date' - such terms don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. So what are they saying? class="infoquote "made a house sale process smooth an...


Stephanie Heijdra: The example for today is a barrister called Stephanie Heijdra. So at the moment even something specific such as "stephanie heijdra barrister london" brings up no local information let alone public reviews. Just watch out for Google always sneaking rival adverts in. But what ...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: They were all very positive and helpfully provided examples of why each of them were happy with the service rather than just blank ratings. Two - that they really are fixated on their chosen profession and can eagerly sit around writing such articles! class="infoquo...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: For many the term 'Solicitor' still brings up the image of an old building in the centre of town and old men in old dusty wigs. 'summerfield browne birmingham') to get reviews only on that office rather than the firm as a whole. A mix of seasoned professional alongsi...


Sternberg Reed LLP: Neither of the variants such as www.sternbergreed.co.uk get you to the correct place though and we spotted a specialist site for the firm's family law department at www.srfamilylawsolicitors.co.uk Keeping an eye out to make sure you know where you are at all times is b...


Solidaire Solicitors: Solidaire Solicitors is the trading name of Solidaire Law Limited so you may see one or both names listed on regulatory sites such as the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). But you've probably seen most law firms claiming to offer 'bespoke' services and promise a 'positi...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: The official site is www.smithandgraham.co.uk and currently www.smithandgraham.com doesn't not redirect there. Smith and Graham have 'Team' pages with profiles of their staff including experience and areas of practice which is great and something we always encourage t...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: So make sure you know what type of firm you are dealing with. If the firm you are researching has several offices, this means Google makes you look up each individual office to see reviews on each one rather than all reviews of a company as a whole. But you can also use your...


PCS Legal Ltd: While the internet has provided consumers with a far wider reach of service providers. However most people prefer the independent forums such as Facebook, Trustpilot, and Google. Before going ahead with anything make sure you have spoken to both parties to ensure they ar...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: This can save considerable court time and therefore legal fees required to complete the case. While one may sound easier or more likely to succeed on paper, it may not work best for your particular problem. However it was difficult to find any on the public review boards suc...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: But while these terms sound wonderful, they are not really helpful for consumers in their search to tell firms apart. This should mean everyone has a much wider range of choice when it comes to getting help. The official website is www.oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk matching the br...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: There are plenty of other sentences on law firm's websites that can help though, and you might be missing them. But our opinions are not bought and no firm gets to tell us what to write. So NJS don't just have 'experience', they have a range of experience levels. After 20+ y...


SG Murphy Solicitors: Those are all great things to be as a law firm, but certainly there are no firms claiming to be the opposite. Other positive things that stood out to us was the firm's attempts to provide information on their site. Thousands of people have https: www.which.co.uk n...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: The site has other sales language that is definitely common across those of its peers. As Natalie isn't mentioned on the law practice's site or on the Law Society website at the time of writing this, we hope the firm at least noticed that fact. We've seen solicitor's praised...


McCarthy + Co LLP: This is especially important since the firm handles property matters. We had an issue trying to get reviews to come up on Google's site. They are not the be-all and end-all of important things to check. A quick note on navigation should be made with the firm having a...


Mark Croft Solicitor: However, if you see phrasing such as '20 years of combined experience' or '20 years of experience within the firm' - that means they've added up the experience of all staff members together. A quick note on navigation though, because the official site is www.mark-croft-s...


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'. So, take the tim...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: That's the difference to watch for. All linked together in an easy to use database. Hence why we were happy to recommend them across our network. But we were impressed by the fact that as they've grown they seem to have limited that growth only to areas of law where they ...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: To clarify, you could think of the QS branding as more of a 'stamp of approval'? Any firm wishing to be part of the QS network must adhere to certain setups and quality control . On the law society site you'll see a https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation p...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: It also seems to show a bit more faith in their services , as they are not in control of all the reviews Trustpilot shows about them. The site is also https secure for submitting your details via that callback form. The Law Society of Scotland displays https: www.lawsco...


Horsley Law: They are a limited firm and https: www.sra.org.uk consumers register organisation ?sraNumber=629429#headingFirmNames" registered with the SRA< a> (Solicitor Regulation Authority). So where can you regularly get useful information about lawyers and legal practices? For e...

All Law Ltd: But the first thing we would recommend when searching for legal help is not to get taken in with marketing jargon. So it might be an idea to bookmark the site if you plan on coming back. Most importantly it will tell you the qualification dates of any legal professi...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: Heritage Park are obviously specialising in Family Law. Today we're going to highlight the firm Heritage Park Family Law Ltd. But if you've been looking around for family law legal services for a while today, you'll have already noticed that all firms (specialist or not) mak...


HCR Legal LLP: Despite our trust, sometimes things go wrong."< div> HCR Legal has several different trading styles and alternate websites too. You'll also been shown various contact details, office addresses, areas of law they cover, and even languages spoken at each firm. There is ...


Harrison's Solicitors: However, this is more impressive than many might realise. class="infoquote "The transaction will be handled by our qualified conveyancing solicitors from beginning to end."< div> This is also a statement nearly every firm will make but you can actually check up...


Guardian Law: But you simply must make sure to read the comments left by people rather than simply glancing at star ratings. To get the correct reviews to come up we needed to enter the full 'guardian law nottingham' but that is the case for many companies now if you're trying to fi...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: However we see such claims as basic marketing ploys. The answer isn't completely black and white, but certainly there is enough anecdotal evidence from our 20+ years in the industry to make the claim that people have found better results with specialist Motor Offence, Divo...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: If a law firm handles only one case type such as Motoring Offences, they are clearly specialists . But most importantly they list the areas of law covered and qualification dates of each solicitor registered with them. class="infoquote "A list of our numerous accre...


Frei Solicitors: This is where being a niche firm can sometimes cause an issue. The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or maybe bookmark the site if coming back later? The site is HTTPS secure for submitting queries through th...


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. People have no problem jumping online to type their thoughts about a local pizza place or lamp store - they are less likely to rus...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: These are usually a lower cost option compared to a conveyancing solicitor. The official full name is Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services with the official web address being www.evelake.co.uk The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details into their cal...


EMD Law LLP: Certainly for legal services it will be the case that people are more likely to leave a comment mainly if something went wrong. But thankfully it's not a selling point they push like some firms do. There was a chat feature on the site, but the two times we tried it we ...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "EDC Lord takes its name from our founder Edwin David Charles Lord who began his legal practice in 1919"< div> First and foremost, the website is easy to navigate, with a clear and concise layout that makes it easy to find the information you ...


Eatons Solicitors: Property sales are the only area of law where we have seen people from the opposite side of the transaction leave bad feedback on the firm of the person buying or selling the property. But it doesn't sound as grand put that way. So absolutely, for law firms at least ...


Drummond Miller LLP: That's probably why in our poll a few years back, only 9% of people voted that they trusted prior client comments posted by the company on their site. There are usually easily spottable 'themes'. But just be wary and be careful about the things you do discuss via email. But ...


Defank Solicitors: Their site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details in the contact form. For all you know the award was for best logo design which doesn't help with your legal matter. Also don't pay attention to sales tactics such as 'established in 1881'. For today's exam...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: However we don't think you should base your decision to use any firm on their 'founding' date. Variants such as www.cwj.com are not owned by the firm and neither is any variation of clarkson-wright-jakes such as www.clarksonwrightjakes.co.uk Details such as this are e...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: Names, years of experience, any additional specialties and direct contact details. We live in a much more flexible work environment these days. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591481 cullimore-dutton-solicitors-limited?Solicitors=Tru...


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: That's why we always recommend people read the actual comments and never just flick through star ratings when deciding which firm to use. With that all in the past, why do law firms still use separate brand names and 'Trading As' statements? The most common reason i...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: The official web address we link to above is www.buchananco.co.uk and although the expected variant of www.buchananandco.co.uk redirects you there, www.buchananco.com is currently owned by a different company. Buchanan and Company do have a Testimonials page on their website...


Brown and Co Solicitors: With each focusing on different areas of law those numbers do stand out to us, and we've been working in the legal industry for over twenty years ourselves. They have an actual fees page which is definitely a rarity amongst legal providers as well. So hopefully from all thi...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: Nearly three quarters of people ticked that they prefer to see case studies by a firm before deciding to use them . Unfortunately, the Law Society of Scotland does not have most user-friendly website out of all the law societies. class="infoquote "Alzheimer S...


Bridge McFarland LLP: class="infoquote "The firm ... Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site. Just typing 'bridge mcfarland' currently shows nothing on Google, you have to type in the ...


Brian Barr Solicitors: However, if a firm is also dealing with family law, wills, criminal defence, and house sales at the same time - can they really be 'specialist' at anything? Certainly there are plenty of large firms that have specialist legal professionals within them. However some firms ar...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: There were several negative comments left but they were difficult to get a grip on. However, some firms employ paralegals to do most of the work and interact with the client. class="infoquote "We are here for comprehensive premier choice for business & personal legal ...


Backhouse Solicitors: If you check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473112 backhouse-solicitors-ltd" the page for this firm< a> you'll see any alternate brand names, contact details, SRA authorisation, and most importantly the qualification dates and specialist areas of each re...


Amy King Legal: Certainly when confronted with a very friendly 5-year experienced solicitor after just speaking to an incredibly curt 40-year veteran - you will be tempted to use the less experienced but more approachable person. If it was an award for best logo design, then that's not real...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years now, just about to celebrate (a loose use of the word) our 25th year in the business. If firm says they have been established for over 150 years for example, that doesn't mean there is a 150 year old guru solicitor ...


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. However for business to business service providers such as A City Law Firm such testimonials pages are usually a little different. Their organisation p...


Two Harcourt Buildings: No firm is going to claim it is archaic, inefficient, and unfriendly. They do not travel into those official addresses every day for work. A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible representation. However barristers in the same countries a...
