Youngs Solicitors: As we've said before, that should really provide a best-of-both-worlds situation where clients get the personalised services they'd expect from a local firm, but with the resources of a much larger organisation behind them. So it's essentially a collection of specialists ...
Woodstock Legal Services: They brag about their ancient foundation dates and the number of offices. A mix of seasoned heads on fresh legs. There are several other things that stood out to us about this firm as well such as the professional https: www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk about#meetthet...

Stephanie Heijdra: class="infoquote "Direct access is a scheme which qualifies barristers to take instructions directly from a client, enabling you to instruct a barrister without first going through a solicitor. As you may have gathered from the network setup and other articles across...
Thaxted Legal Ltd: So what indications are there that this firm is a better choice than others? class="infoquote "Our sole area of practice is immigration and therefore our expertise is up to date and thorough."< div> This may sound like another throw-away phrase any firm would ...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: As we only review the legal industry and it's professionals from our experience working with them over the past 20 years - that's the only thing we can comment on. There is no ampersand in domain names so www.smith&graham.co.uk can't exist and currently no firms are using va...
Taylor Price Solicitors: One that they seem to be offering face to face initial consultations for free at either of their Leeds or Levenshulme offices - not just a phone call with a junior staff member. For example, when most people are charged with a motoring offence they will immediately look f...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd:
For example in Havant (near Portsmouth) they list a range of staff including Samantha Lee who qualified as a solicitor in 1995, Kelly Applegate in 2000, Tina Smith in 2013, right up to Kara Babbage who just joined the legal profession in 2021. Remember, though, that if...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: We've written many articles on what to look for in a law firm to make sure you get legal advice from the best match to your needs.
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.
On...
Stowe Family Law: Whilst there will be some variations, most of the Stowe solicitor office locations we checked were open until 7pm each day and open on weekends as well.
As you can see there is a wide range of experience within Stowe, with solicitor's start dates covering all of the...
Stenfield Solicitors: It's not uncommon for a firm claiming 'founded in the 1800s!' to consist mostly of solicitors with only a couple of years' experience. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 597818 stenfield-limited" check out the page< a> for any firm on their si...
Springle & Co Solicitors: Plus with more and more people owning their own business that brings an entirely different set of issues to consider should you pass on while that business is running. Either national or local. Increasingly so. Solicitors are such a firm, specialising in Estate Planning m...
Simper Law Ltd: (Something companies tend not to include in their own testimonial section!) Negative reviews can be a great way to spot general themes of complaint. There is also a firm called Simpler Law based in Lincoln which handles Estate Planning matters too.
However, we recomme...
The Search Bureau: All other variants we tried such as www.searchbureau.com and www.thesearchbureau.com were owned by different firms. With just a few fake emails the scammers can seem to convince home owners to hand over tens of thousands of pounds to a completely different bank account. Mo...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Reynolds Macdonald are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have the most useful and info-packed user side database we know of. Normally in our information articles about firms we tend to dive off into a few tangents about general ...
Richmond Legal Ltd: Also the majority of scams against clients of law firms right now tend to https: www.todayslegalcyberrisk.co.uk main-news solicitors-lose-45000-deposit-conveyancing-scam " revolve around conveyancy and property matters< a>.
class="infoquote "Providing expert legal a...
Rose Fendlen Law: However whilst there may be a multitude of case titles within an area of law - it is still one area of law .

To check up on statements such ...
Pump Court Chambers:
class="infoquote "Cordelia was very friendly and put things into words that I could understand. Again, https: www.pumpcourtchambers.com legal-service direct-access " Direct Access< a> is not applicable or beneficial for absolutely every case type. So how can you wor...
Penerley Lawyers:
To check whether someone is a qualified solicitor or that a firm has one on staff, you can always use your local law society website. We've been trying to find some of these specialists to add to our network and seeking those that seem to have a better grip on what t...
Pacific Law: However we have worked with some of the key players in the past.
Many firms since the pandemic have managed to upgrade their systems to offer video-call appointments. . This is because whilst people are very happy to jump online and give praise about their new toaster...
OneLaw Chambers: Even more positively - this change encourages lawyers to be far more invested in each case as a win is important for them as well. This is due to the fact most testimonials are obtained via some sort of post-service questionnaire. A https: www.legal500.com how-it-works "...
My Law Matters: The titular Nicholas Fentiman qualified in 1979, with various other solicitors joining after - right up to Nila Brailey who qualified in 2007. We were recently asked whether it's common for law firms to create a new trading name because their existing name has a bad reputati...
Milners Solicitors: With any firm offering free consultations, it's always best if you can meet with the actual lawyer who would then be going on to run your case..
class="infoquote "It’s been the same throughout Milners’ 120-year history of delivering the best legal advice."< div>
...
Michael Leighton Jones: 'living in the past', 'unfriendly', and 'inefficient'). When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people are far less likely to share their feelings about their messy divorce than they are about the restaurant they just ate at. That's very common though. U...
Mckie Legal:
class="infoquote "Ive been asked a few times already 'which Barrister did you use?'"< div>
This is a quote from the firm's website relating to a review from another law firm (Scott Rees). Mckie Legal is named after the firm's director Andrew Ian McKie. Not vice v...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: When many of those clients would have benefited more from psychological treatement assessment or negotiating better coverage for future medical bills. So it's always a good idea to bookmark sites like this if you plan on returning and never discuss payments or bank details ...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor:
class="infoquote "In a tough legal world we are here to fight your corner."< div>
If you've scrolled through a dozen solicitor websites already today, you'll probably have noticed many of them have phrases like this which sound good but don't necessarily help yo...
Lindsays Solicitors: So in true internet-style, those people came onto the review boards to bad-mouth the firm assigned to sell the property. Lindsays are under The Law Society of Scotland, but we're sad to say the Scottish site is far outdone by English Welsh version. After reading through the...
Lefevres Law: The Law Society of Scotland does https: www.lawscot.org.uk news-and-events legal-news iain-nicol-joins-lefevres-as-litigation-director " have an article< a> about one of the firm's solicitors that moved over to Lefevres from another firm in the area. There are lots of oth...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: As the firm we're talking about here deals exclusively in Estate Planning matters , this isn't as much of a concern. "I" have a vast amount of experience. There are even options to resolve matters without using a solicitor at all such as Mediation in divorce proceedings. Su...
Khan Law: But the number of firms being clear about what that means is far fewer. However we believe that should never be a dealbreaker. The quote above is from the Khan Law website and, in our opinion, is being used appropriately. We received a negative review last year accusing us ...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: These days with the internet people can instead search for the best representation for their particular issue from firms all over the country.
class="infoquote "enabling us to provide expert experienced advice to our clients"< div>
The first resource people norm...
The Legal Practice Ltd: This seems to be an actual goal or at least a point of pride for the firm because we also saw this statement on their website:
class="infoquote "At your request we are able to provide communication in Gurjrati, Hindi, Konkani, Marathi, Punjabi, Swahili, and Urdu."< div...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: If you flick through the data for Jacob's, you'll see they have solicitors from almost every decade over the last four of them. Some go too far such as listing favourite colours. This firm is registered with https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 546047 jacobs-law-so...
HooperHyde: Certainly the parent company CLP has considerable resources behind it and a huge number of well experienced solicitors . As stated above though, for legal services that should not be taken as a negative sign.
class="infoquote "I wanted to feel like I was making a dif...
Hill House Chambers: On some occasions this can mean you're paying two firms for the job one could do. Typically solicitors are not authorised to represent clients in actual court. So instantly this reduced the amount of time and cost for huge numbers of clients to have their case dealt with. ...
Hawkridge & Company: These kinds of things are not automatically given to new firms or anyone that simply signs up to that organisation. Some examples, for this firm you'll see David Johncock qualified in 1981, Tristan Alder in 2004, and Michael Oduwole in 2012.
class="infoquote "excellent...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: However we've noticed some of them using more vague statements or even marketing jargon to obscure facts. That's because the majority of conveyancing firms have negative reviews. Don't just flick through star ratings. But if a firm states 'we have thirty years of combined ex...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: Frazer Coogans Ltd is also registered to which again may sound like something most solicitors do, but they really don't.
class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans Solicitors...
Fair Result Ltd: That's where we saw that the firm was pretty new. So is Fair Result's claim just vague sales jargon? Well, no. Not every legal matter requires a full-on solicitor. That means scouring dozens of company websites a day and spending a (possibly obsessive) amount of hours t...
Education Law Service Ltd: So when you see that the law firm you're interested in does not have many reviews on the usual forums such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell or Yelp - don't read negatively into that . At the moment most scammers are https: www.eveningexpress.co.uk news business home-movers-war...
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. The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent site for this and Dylan Nair & Co just happen to be registered with them.
class="infoqu...
DV Solicitors: Reviews for property firms are therefore usually much lower than those for firms covering any other type of matter.
For example in tax HMRC matters you may save a lot of time and money by using an accountant rather than a law firm if your type of case allows such. Nev...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk:
Typically we don't add claims management companies to our network. 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two very different offers. The main aim (we would hope) of housing claims is to get your living conditions improved. We've talked a lot before about 'specia...
David Stinson & Co: It contains what we would call 'Case Studies' where brief explanations are made about a prior case, it's problems, the actions taken, the timeframe, and the settlement. It seems to be a unique name in the industry. The latter means that you have nothing to pay whether you...
Cooks Solicitors: Whilst many firms provide testimonials on their websites, these are not normally given much attention. That's because when it comes to any legal practice handling property conveyancing matters - it's actually quite normal for them to have a poor rating. She is very good at c...
CEL Solicitors: < p>
. The firm has https: celsolicitors.co.uk case-studies " a dedicated page< a> showcasing a range of various case type examples. Simply emailing a CV to reception looks lazy. We know firms that don't have a website or won't accept email communications, and the amount...
Catteralls Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation as we've seen a few common errors popping up in the site search now that Catteralls have been with us for a while. A last word from Catterall's own site:
class="infoquote "We always put our clients first. The most common errors of www.c...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: The QS site is https secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms.
.
class="infoquote "QualitySolicitors is a group of modern, progressive law firms providing legal advice for individuals and businesses with over 100 high street locations.
...
Brown and Co Solicitors: Other variants such as www.brownandco.co.uk take you to completely different firms and you can't have ampersands in web addresses so a www.brown&co.co.uk entry in the browser bar for example will result in an error or a search results page being shown. However it's amazing j...
Bridge McFarland LLP: If it was an award for best logo design, then that doesn't really help you as a potential client. One thing to remember though is that when a firm has multiple offices you often have to type in the company name and location to see any reviews. Unfortunately every firm that d...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: However it really all depends on how the firm is set up . However according to our poll last year, only 8% of you trust the testimonials that companies display anyway. As mentioned before, such a huge range of seasoned professionals mixed with fresh legs and ideas has not...
BLZ Solicitors: In our opinion you shouldn't count repetitive wording or stock images on a site against any of them.. Their site is https secure though so entering your information on the contact form should be fine. One solicitor has experience with the immigration process whilst the oth...
Bilkus & Boyle:
class="infoquote "Providing quality legal services since 1980"< div>
Considering so many firms are quoting histories as far back as the 1800s, this number may look almost new in comparison. So when we say B&B have a very positive rating, that's actually quite an...
Bell Lax Solicitors: Despite all three statements seeming to indicate 30 years of 'something' - it is only the second statement that is a real indication that there is an actual 30 year experienced solicitor at the firm. If one firm says 'established in 1991', whilst another says '30 years exp...
Beers LLP: Unlike hairdressers or restaurants, law firms can end up with negative reviews from the side they beat in a case. For example at Beers you'll see solicitors such as Paul Housego who qualified in 1978, Richard Jones (qualified 1996), Helen O'Leary (2009), and Sonia Hems (2011...
Aspire Licensing: The same is sometimes true of debt matters.
Is this a negative point then? Licensing is an area of law where you can have help and be represented by a non-court-qualified person. A last word from Aspire's own site:
class="infoquote "Aspire Licensing and Administra...
Argue & Co Legal:
class="infoquote "When we can, we operate a no-win-no-fee funding option for our clients."< div>
We would expect every solicitor doing injury litigation matters to offer no win no fee arrangements for most case types. It depends greatly on the case type. We've ...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: When it comes to legal firms we absolutely recommend reading reviews rather than flicking through star ratings alone.
class="infoquote "Our solicitors will keep you up to date with the progress of your claim throughout and will answer any questions you may have about...
ABS Lawyers Ltd: They also state qualification dates which is something that could be very useful if you're sceptical of a firm's claims in that regard. None of the other such organisations we've seen so far have had the same high level of user-side information that the English Welsh one d...
