Youngs Solicitors: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves in putting the client interest at the heart of everything we do."< div> Every law firm will make statements like this but really most people want to see prior client comments to find out whether they felt 'put at the heart o...
Woodstock Legal Services: There was also only one similarly named firm of Woodstock Solicitors. It stands to reason though. Whilst there is a definite 'perfect professional' curve between experience and age, the fact this firm has qualified people from across the last five decades is clearl...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: We are a firm that puts people first."< div> Again, claiming the customer comes first is something mentioned by practically every single law firm's website. That's why most firms will not help clients that rely on Legal Aid for funding. We've seen a sad trend for solici...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: There is a whole section https: trustinheritance.toolboxx.co.uk #bereavement" offering various products< a> to tailor towards what you might need if you're looking to handle the matter by yourself as much as possible. 'trust' and 'inheritance'. The article we wrote just b...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: The legal services industry is a tough one for third party public review forums though because people are not as likely to discuss their experience of the legal system as easily as they share restaurant reviews. This firm does list customer testimonials on their webs...
Stephanie Heijdra: This is despite her working in the industry since at least 2014 according to the BSB certificate. We also hope it clarifies why Stephanie Heijdra was one of such legal professionals we decided to add to our own network.. studied for a Law Degree at the University of Live...
Thaxted Legal Ltd: There are always some trying to fleece Will Writing service seekers or Injury Claimants in different ways too. So how do Thaxted fare on these independent forums? class="infoquote "very thorough and knowledgeable, and gave me great advice on my case which is quite c...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: So always read comments too. But hopefully from the examples and resources quoted in the article below, you'll see why they have been added to our network. But it actually contains two of the main things we think you should look at when picking a firm. As we only review th...
Taylor Price Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our areas of litigation expertise include contract disputes, professional negligence claims, debt recovery, intellectual property, defamation, partnership disputes, landlord and tenant disputes, insolvency and bankruptcy, and personal injury litigatio...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Testimonials always look different from third party review site comments because they are typically a page of positive-only messages from people the firm have hand chosen. Since the 90s the government has gutted the Legal Aid system reducing the number of people that can use...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors:
class="infoquote "able to say (and do) things in a way that doesn't sound confusing"
"Listened to my contractual issue and dealt with it in a timely manner"
"helped me with car purchase dispute received excellent service"< div>
These are some snippets from t...
Stowe Family Law: It is important you are comfortable with your solicitor; you feel they understand your legal needs and, just as importantly, the emotional aspects of your situation."< div>
Obviously we are already in favour of Stowe Family Law because we list their services on this we...
Stenfield Solicitors: We ran a poll a few years ago which came back in the single digits for people that actually trusted the testimonial pages of company websites. We've also seen anti-capitalist rants copy pasted across a dozen legal professional's review sections. However one was by a third pa...
Springle & Co Solicitors: By reducing wasteful overheads, we can improve personal client service. Although that's probably not too much of a concern because typically scammers target property matters - not wills. Certainly just like planning a wedding there are several things you need to consider and...
Simper Law Ltd:
class="infoquote "Between them, our solicitors have around 50 years' experience in law, and are passionate about working with all types of clients, both personal and commercial."< div>
Most law firms will make a claim about the amount of years experience within t...
The Search Bureau: However, as already mentioned at the outset of this piece, there often isn't as much to go on when it comes to service providers to the law firms we often write about. So sadly there isn't a lot of independent comments floating around on the third party forums such as Goog...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Normally in our information articles about firms we tend to dive off into a few tangents about general things to watch out for when researching which legal service provider is best for you.
The age of the firm's brand name has absolutely no bearing on whether the actual...
Richmond Legal Ltd: It's also become more of a pain to organise. Obviously with such huge amounts of money being passed around, fraudsters are finding great success in convincing people to send the money to them instead. Most people may not know just how badly the goverment has stripped Legal A...
Rose Fendlen Law:
Another resource to help with this is one we frequently recommend in our articles - The Law Society of England & Wales' website. Sadly Google was showing adverts at the top for some of our searches so watch out for that. Only actual solicitors will be regulated by th...
Pump Court Chambers: So how can you work out the best one for you between the lines?
class="infoquote "Our barristers and clerks are approachable, straightforward and focused on solving problems quickly and cost-effectively."< div>
At the bottom of most of their website pages Pump Cou...
Penerley Lawyers: Even today there are dozens of law firms that don't even have a website, let alone an online tracking system for people to check on their case progress. If they do open later and at least some weekends, that's a bigger deal than you might think.
Penerley do have slig...
Pacific Law: This could include breaking away from the typical 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours and offering some late night appointments.
Many firms since the pandemic have managed to upgrade their systems to offer video-call appointments. This is because whilst people are very ha...
OneLaw Chambers:
Personally, we think people leaving negative reviews for those reasons completely undermines the whole goal of review forums.
class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS tailors its legal advice to meet the needs and requirements of its clients to ensure clients receive co...
My Law Matters: Seasoned expert hands alongside fresh legs. So when you see statements like this:
class="infoquote "My Law Matters is a trading style of Fentiman Legal Limited, a professional and dynamic legal practice that offers legal advice to national and international clients."<...
Milners Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation. That's why we recommend bookmarking the correct site because typo-ing the web address in your browser bar could quickly end up with you on a fake site (see https: www.actionfraud.police.uk a-z-of-fraud phishing" phishing< a>).
class...
Michael Leighton Jones: So if there are very few or even zero reviews for a firm - that shouldn't be taken as a negative sign. So hopefully in this article we'll be able to point out some differences you can look for between the lines and some resources you might not be aware of to help when you'...
Mckie Legal: However the concept of the local solicitors office has become something of an almost quaint, nostalgic notion these days when Amazon will bring you any item in the world within 24 hrs of you ordering it (usually whilst sat on the toilet). A solicitor that takes 10% of your ...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: One thing we've always pushed for in the compensation claims industry is more care of the client rather than a money-fixes-everything approach.
This niche focus and lengthy experience clearly makes for a efficient and effective service if the public reviews are anythi...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: in public as they are about the local pizza place.
For many years now https: monzo.com blog we-sent-our-house-deposit-to-a-fraudster-who-posed-as-our-lawyer" the property industry has been the target< a> of massive amounts of fraud due to the huge amounts of money b...
Lindsays Solicitors: They certainly have a page about https: www.lindsays.co.uk about-us sponsorship" things they sponsor< a> but the chosen sponsorships look very specific and highly unlikely to result in much publicity. It was at least three clicks in from the front page and only if you not...
Lefevres Law: (Their other locations being Glasgow and Edinburgh.) According to the Law Society of Scotland they are the same firm but for some reason the main Lefevres' law site states the Aberdeen office is at 70 Carden Place whilst everywhere else lists it as 40 Carden Place. The Law S...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd:
Thanks to creation of the internet, law firms are able to select the case types they are good at and then find clients from further afield - rather than having to cater to their local population. The quote above is from the website of KRS Estate Planning and we absol...
Khan Law: We've always praised The Law Society of England & Wales for having a hugely informative and useful website - and that's a hard thing to do being a Scottish firm ourselves. Some review forums had zero negative comments . Read the actual comments. We can
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: No win, no fee means there are no fees should your case lose. Unfortunately, though, when it comes to law firms you will often find they don't receive as many reviews as other service providers. For example, if you sometimes check the companies house website looking to verif...
The Legal Practice Ltd: But 'the law practice' or 'the lawyer practice' (if you've not remembered quite correctly) bring up different firms and lots of adverts.
These days it is therefore imperative to make sure you're on the correct website (you can read about https: www.actionfraud.police....
Jacobs Law Solicitors: You can get a 40-year-expert lawyer at a 1-year-old newly set up brand where the paint on the walls is still wet. In this instance that's "Jacobs Law Solicitors Birmingham". The largest property firm in England Wales currently has a rating of just under 3 stars on Google w...
HooperHyde: Sometimes you do. On hand ready to help you with your business needs."< div>
The majority of firms will make a statement like this one on the HooperHyde site relating to their experience. Sometimes it can be quite beneficial . The Law Society of England & Wales has th...
Hill House Chambers: When this is true they will hire a Barrister on your behalf. At the moment of writing www.hillhousechambers.com wasn't owned by anyone and other variants such as hillhousebarristers were also available. On some occasions this can mean you're paying two firms for the job one ...
Hawkridge & Company: A good range of seasoned experience alongside fresh blood and hopefully new ideas.
class="infoquote "Hawkridge & Company solicitors ensure a personal and supportive approach to every client"< div>
Unfortunately when it comes to law firms, there aren't always a h...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents:
You'll may also see negative reviews from people who weren't even using the reviewed firm's services. However we've noticed some of them using more vague statements or even marketing jargon to obscure facts. Even though it wasn't the law firm's decision to pull out of ...
Frazer Coogans Ltd:
Unfortunately, the Law Society for Scotland's website is nowhere near as good as it's English Welsh counterpart when it comes to user side data. For some reason, thousands of people have handed over their entire house deposit to fraudsters simply because they received ...
Fair Result Ltd: Typically it's only cases such as litigation where firms may do considerable work upfront with an aim to getting paid near the end of the case instead. Clients receive emails stating that the bank details for their deposit have changed and they apparently go ahead and send t...
Education Law Service Ltd:
class="infoquote "We offer a free thirty minutes remote virtual consultation"< div>
A nice respectable middle offering that will hopefully let you get some information about what help is available, your chances, the costs, and for you to get a good enough feel fo...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd:
On this occasion the fact this firm is offering considerable free time for non-litigation matters is the point of note. Just remember that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation' do not mean the same thing. However, this can sometimes make it much easier to spot som...
DV Solicitors: With so many Pakistan citizens within the UK, making sure we would offer a firm such as Deo Volente to them seemed a no brainer . Far better than most others we've used.
class="infoquote "Deo Volente have been providing personalised, pragmatic services to a diverse po...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There is a simply huge number of keyword related websites targeting this area of litigation such as www.housingdisrepairhelpline.co.uk, www.housing-disrepair-claims.co.uk, and www.housingdisrepairlawyers.co.uk (just to pick out the first three in a Google search). Or better ...
David Stinson & Co:
For more difficult cases such as medical negligence against the NHS, most lawyers will ask for a conditional fee arrangement. 9 times out of 10 they will just be variations of 'I would recommend them highly'. Written like that, it doesn't look nearly as impressive. The ...
Cooks Solicitors: So how are Cooks Solicitors looking on the independent boards?
class="infoquote "Graeme Tennant dealt with my Right to buy conveyancing and I couldn't fault him. All trading names, office locations, languages spoken, case types handled, solicitors' qualification date...
CEL Solicitors: For a career with CEL Solicitors it's best to visit the website (), check opening hours, and find the correct phone email contact details. The firm has https: celsolicitors.co.uk case-studies " a dedicated pag...
Catteralls Solicitors: Most law firms are signed up with a law society whether national, countywide or even city based if there is a large enough population.
At the moment nearly every search variant we tried such as 'cateralls solicitors' or 'catterals solicitors' still brought up the corre...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: There is a simply huge number of scams targeting law clients right now.
class="infoquote "We combine the service you expect from a national brand with the local knowledge you need from our experienced legal team."< div>
They actually have solicitors at the firm w...
Brown and Co Solicitors:
If a firm states they have a certain number of years' experience 'within the firm' this usually means they've added up all staff's experience together to make the number bigger. The first is whether a firm is actually experienced and the other about firms which cover a...
Bridge McFarland LLP: Photos of people in suits smiling and shaking hands with bits of paper in their hands are very nice, but they don't help you decide one firm from the other. It's not worth the risk.
. One thing to remember though is that when a firm has multiple offices you often have to ty...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: Why people fall for that and don't call their solicitor to check before sending tens of thousands of pounds - we don't know. It's an enviable status to have which can surely only benefit clients. On this occasion the firm we're talking about doesn't list any testimonials on ...
BLZ Solicitors: So unfortunately, this phrase has become quite meaningless in relation to indicating what the firm does differently. You would think that these days with phone, email, and video chat - especially since the COVID pandemic - that any law firm could spare even just 15 minutes t...
Bilkus & Boyle: For example, we have three 5 star reviews on Trustpilot but due to the way they calculate averages - we only have a 3.5 star rating overall. However the whole ancient-history-boasting across the legal industry is really just a marketing ploy to make a firm seem as though it ...
Bell Lax Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We aim to find the best and most effective outcomes for our clients' problems while at the same time providing quality advice."< div>
Another very common claim a law firm might make is that former clients are happy with the service . This can be...
Beers LLP: Obviously alternatives such as www.beers.com or .co.uk bring up beverage related websites and none of the beerllp variants were owned by anyone.
So how can you tell if a firm has a good amount of experience if the founding dates are not a good point of reference? Luckil...
Aspire Licensing: However to be clear - Aspire Licensing do not state they are a law firm in the traditional sense and no mention is made to 'solicitors' within the firm. At the moment, most fraudsters are doing their best to https: www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk main-news newlyweds-duped-into...
Argue & Co Legal: We've seen the most absurd negative reviews against solicitors. We've seen conveyancing firms with over a thousand reviews on a single review site.
They make a further point about this on the Argue & Co website:
class="infoquote "Allan's vision for Argue & Co Lega...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: But we didn't find out the spark that created Antony Hodari. The firm we covered yesterday were very explicit about how their divorce experiences had led them to create their alternative mediation service. That's because law firms are one of the few service providers where t...
ABS Lawyers Ltd: If not, try searching for a more local law society such as at the county or city level. So finding feedback from previous clients about how true these statements about quality customer service are, should be easy. But you may get some useful extra bits of info nonetheless....
