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: We've seen a divorce specialist with a negative review for not handling criminal cases, and one firm with a 5 star rating for the incredible menu. We've been in the legal industry for over 20 years now, but haven't had much dealings with the CLC so can't comment further. Unl...

Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: This is because in nearly every property buying selling situation that has ever occurred in the UK - someone will have been unhappy about how long it took. Because although practically every law firm has a website these days, what if the firm you've been recommended to onli...


Walker Foster Solicitors: That's a big bit of praise considering we're a old Scottish company. They are something to watch for on law firm's websites. This immediately gives the impression of a large, well-established firm. They also have example prices publicly displayed on their website rather tha...


UVS Law: The Act replaced previous immigration laws and introduced new regulations regarding immigration and citizenship. While it's very (very, very) easy to assume all government officials are corrupt and take bribes, it shouldn't be necessary if your lawyer has the skills require...


TWB Probate Solicitors: There are a multitude of options in between. class="infoquote "TWB Probate Solicitors. class="infoquote "... This is to let people realise and choose from more options than they might think are available. The SRA's site is not the best laid out though and t...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: With much more flexibility these days in working placements, you could find a 40-year veteran solicitor at a 1-year old law firm and a 1-year novice at a 200-year old firm. We don't usually tell people what to do in our articles, but it's safe to say you can ignore s...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: We have often praised The Law Society of England & Wales for their excellent user resources . People https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" have transferred their entire house deposit< a> to...


Sternberg Reed LLP: However, we see many small firms clearly stating they are small with pride. However we always recommend reading the actual comments when it comes to law firm reviews rather than flicking through star ratings. Finding a product you want online is relatively simple. The...


Solidaire Solicitors: Make sure any firm you are thinking of using has https: www.sra.org.uk " an SRA number< a> listed on their site. The opening lines from their website include: class="infoquote "Why Choose Solidaire Solicitors? We are specialist in Employment and Immigration law, of...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: Alternatively a smaller firm is imagined as providing a more personal service with an interest in your specific legal issue, but they may not have the same resources or experience within the firm. Most companies will state they have huge numbers of satisfied clients. ...


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>. In the legal industry there is no one main legal body covering everything. It looks as though they also list some details a...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: We should make a quick note on navigation. class="infoquote "Our Solicitors, Paralegals and support staff take great pride in the service we offer to our clients."< div> This is especially useful in working out whether a firm has actual real experience . This ...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: Unfortunately there are a limited number of colours, images, and ways to express professionals doing a professional job. However you may not be getting the most out of such resources. So NJS don't just have 'experience', they have a range of experience levels. It's al...


Nero Legal Ltd: Which is quite striking because when we checked, they had a 4.5 star rating with https: www.google.com search?q=nero+legal+glasgow&oq=nero+legal+glasgow&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyEAgBEC4YrwEYxwEYgAQYjgUyCggCEAAYgAQYogQyCggDEAAYgAQYogQyCggEEAAYgAQY...

MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: The branding is mostly 'MJV Solicitors' but the official site is www.mjvlaw.co.uk not www.mjvsolicitors.co.uk (which currently has no site on it). We've seen solicitor's praised for the great pizza and a criminal law firm criticised for not handling divorces. Such as: ...


McCarthy + Co LLP: A quick note on navigation should be made with the firm having an 'and' or '+' sign in it's branding. Independent markers such as these can help identify firms that are well established and keen to show a higher quality status. class="infoquote "we bring over 3...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: If you've scrolled through a dozen or more law firm websites today looking for help with a legal matter, then you may have noticed that many of them sound the same.

Mark Croft Solicitor: Sometimes with scams so simple as sending them an email stating the payment details have changed. 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. There have also been concerted efforts to keep the amo...


Lyons Solicitors: It's strange to think the internet has only been with us just over two decades because it really feels as though the way in which we shop and hire services has changed more in those 20 years than in the 200 before it. The most common complaint we hear is that they all look...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: A quick note on navigation though as the official website we link to above is www.lslegaluk.com with none of the most common variants such as www.lslegal.co.uk .com redirecting you there. class="infoquote "Our objective is to provide high quality legal advice t...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: Most people will head to the public boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. class="infoquote "Meet your lawyer face-to-face and speak directly to staff familiar with your matter."< div> One of the main reasons we recommend checking out a firm on the law s...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: 'kee solicitors in aberdeen'. We have one niche firm on our network handling only life-changing injury claims and another that only represents whistleblowers. This is more important for clients hiring lawyers that deal with property matters than family law clients rea...


Horsley Law: They also state (at the time of writing): class="infoquote "99% trials won. However, while that is still good advice in our opinion - we know it can be difficult to find information and background on newer firms. The snippets above are from testimonials posted ...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: So when you see Heritage Park offering out of hours appointments - that is something helpful other firms may not be offering.

HCR Legal LLP: Many firms offer 'testimonials' on their websites. 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 . ...


Harrison's Solicitors: The 'feel' of a firm is lost to the 'look' of it. Never discuss payments via email.

Guardian Law: Almost obsessed. But you simply must make sure to read the comments left by people rather than simply glancing at star ratings. class="infoquote "Our role is to guide and support you through contentious staff issues affecting your business as painlessly as possible."...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: Be aware when searching though that Google has changed how it displays reviews . 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. Sadly, the Scottish Law Society does not o...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: www.goldsmith&bowers.com .co.uk can't exist). Unfortunately, though, there are far fewer reviews about law firms than other industries. class="infoquote "Specialists at Commercial Debt Recovery and Litigation"< div> We often get asked whether a smaller specialis...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: Some examples: Girlings' Jeremy Burke qualified in 1988, Kathryn Kennell in 1996, Michelle Meakin in 2009, right up to Steevi Henderson's relatively recent qualification in 2017. We're referring to the fact Girlings Solicitors has a separate division for their compensation c...


Frei Solicitors: So while a nationwide conveyancing firm might have 300+ reviews on an independent review forum such as Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook - a specialist divorce lawyer might have only a handful or even none. The company provides quite a few on their testimonials page: cl...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: It states the firm is relatively new which brings up a point about law firms we've covered before but which bears repeating. class="infoquote "Legal advice you can depend on, from people you can trust"< div> A quick note on navigation considering the alternate ...


Farah Family Law: Who knows the loopholes. They want someone who only does these types of cases day in, and day out. The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details through their online contact form. Every single one of them remember ringing round for a solicitor and being ask...

England & Derbyshire LLP: With all this choice available and the entire internet at your disposal - how do you pick the best legal help for you? First thing is to make sure it's an actual legal services provider. Not only that, there's a lot of different types of legal professional to choose ...


EMD Law LLP: It might suprise you to know that not all law firms have made this recommended change to their site yet. That's not for the same reason many of you stated in our poll last year - i.e. class="infoquote "Initial free 30 minute consultation on some matters"< div> T...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Each section includes detailed information about the relevant legal issues, along with case studies that illustrate the firm's experience and expertise in each area. class="infoquote "We thrive on repeat business as well as recommendations from existing and potentia...


Eatons Solicitors: We don't think the age of the brand should sway you. For example a firm might say it has '20 years of experience within the firm'. So a quick note on navigation is required. Over the past decade there has been a massive upsurge of people https: www.telegraph.co.uk m...


Drummond Miller LLP: Right now the leading (by quantity) conveyancer in the UK has a Google rating of 3.2 stars. Scottish residents however have the Law Society of Scotland website which is slightly better than it was a few years back, but still provides only basic information that doesn'...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: class="infoquote "Dispute Resolver is an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) consultancy and not a law firm. We found a website https: www.tradingstandards.uk consumer-help adr-approved-bodies " listing ADR firms< a> but it seemed to be aimed at specific industrie...

Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: class="infoquote "CWJ is a progressive modern practice that operates proactively on its clients' behalf by combining the knowledge and experience of talented individuals with systems built to minimise risk and maximise productivity."< div> This is a far more i...


Defank Solicitors: A note for security. 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. As you go through the hundreds of law firm websites available for legal services in the UK, ...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: Not so many firms are forthcoming with such details, especially those trying to disguise their levels of experience. Names, years of experience, any additional specialties and direct contact details. class="infoquote "Our team are focused on having a positive impact o...


Crockett & Co Solicitors: Their official website is at www.crockettsolicitors.co.uk with the .com version currently being owned by someone else. It could be their entire firm only handle that particular area of law. However we would not suggest putting as much stock in founding dates. Legal Aid start...


Cook Legal Ltd: Most law firms will be able to cover much larger areas . You will need a law firm authorised to work in Scotland for Scottish cases, Northern Ireland for NI cases, and Republic of Ireland for ROI cases. So you may wish to bookmark the site just in case you are comi...


Calio Claims: Because Calio Claims is - to quote the firm - 'Powered by Lindsays'. This really should just be a matter of what logo is at the top of the emails and letters you receive. You can also only view details as pop ups which gets very difficult on a mobile device. For the new gene...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: This snippet above from the website of Buchanan & Co Solicitors is one such statement - i.e. Luckily there is a great resource online with The Law Society of England & Wales who provide a wealth of data on any law firm registered with them. Either way though, ...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: Nearly three quarters of people ticked that they prefer to see case studies by a firm before deciding to use them . class="infoquote "We immerse ourselves in our clients' sectors so that we can deliver enhanced legal services and expertise. That can't possibly be tru...


Brian Barr Solicitors: 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: class="infoquote "Highly recommend this...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Their office is in Glasgow but if you enter a phrase such as "baker hardman solicitors in glasgow" Google currently returns results for a firm called Bradley Baker Solicitors. Top Solicitors in Preston and Glasgow."< div> That's an opening line from the website of B...


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. We've stated many times in other articles how a firm promoting their 100+ year old brand name as s...


Amy King Legal: The concept in TV shows such as Boston Legal where a large established firm's name can strike fear into a company or government agency has never been the case here in the UK. For example, if you ever see a statement such as '30 years of experience within the firm' , that us...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "All went smoothly and they kept me informed at each stage" "They saved me money along the way too" "professional and helpful" "Communication was great throughout"< div> The majority of comments on the public forums are like these snippets...

Two Harcourt Buildings: 2HB clearly has made no such misleading attempt with that almost slap-in-the-face attention grabbing statement. Two Harcourt Buildings may be a setup you're not familiar with because prior to recent changes in how the public can access legal help, you would have had to pay...
