Please check out the new US Law Firm Reviews section on our sister site.


Youngs Solicitors: The firm doesn't list testimonials on their website, but that's fine. So it's essentially a collection of specialists within one office. We also hold CQS, The Law Society's quality mark for legal experts in buying or selling property and are trusted by some of the UK's big...


Woodstock Legal Services: It's not as if any firm is going to claim the opposite - i.e. Clearly we ended up with a positive impression of their law practice otherwise we would not have added them to our network. There was also only one similarly named firm of Woodstock Solicitors. In any industr...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: Those are the types of cases scammers tend to target. 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. The official site we link to above is www.ulasolicitors.com...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: There are dozens out there, but the most commonly used are Google Reviews, Yelp, Trustpilot and Yell. The Law Society of England & Wales is actually one of the best we've seen for this sort of user-focused data provision. Unfortunately the temptation to utilise market...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: They provide a huge amount of user-side data about the law firms registered with them including alternate trading names, other office addresses, extra contact details, and so on. The firm we're writing about today, Trojan Solicitors, first stood out to us as being an Immig...


The Legal Practice Ltd: So how do TLP fare on the independent comment forums? class="infoquote "very good and fluent in their work and know what they are doing" "I have been using the firm in the last 5 years and their work is very thorough" "always there to answer any queries" ...


Stephanie Heijdra: Barristers are setup quite differently to regular law offices in that there typically aren't official physical law offices to go back and forth to. Just watch out for Google always sneaking rival adverts in. So if you've spent the last few hours reading endless sales-pitch p...

Summerfield Browne Solicitors: You may be surprised in this day and age to learn that there are still hundreds of such firms about the UK with antiquated views on women in the workplace and even an aversion to the internet. The firm states offices in London, Birmingham, Cambridge, Oxford, Market Harboroug...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: But if you see a firm of 1 or 2 solicitors stating they handle every case type you can think of from Personal Injury to Family Law, Criminal Law and Immigration as well - chances are they are probably not able to keep themselves as well informed or up to date as a specialis...


Taylor Price Solicitors: One last cut from their website that you may have missed: class="infoquote "Visit us for a free no obligation consultation!"< div> Two things stand out about this sentence. But there are still plenty of lawyers charging fees right from the start for other case typ...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Also be aware that ampersands cannot be in web addresses so there will never be a www.swain&co.com .co.uk address. The branding of these three offices is Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd who are part of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd (that's the 'Y' on the edge of the logo). We have...


Stowe Family Law: We always recommend speaking to someone at the firm before going ahead. That's coming from someone who has been in the legal industry for over 20 years and had to seek out divorce lawyers twice. At the time of writing the full list of office locations listed on the ...


Stenfield Solicitors: We did see a couple of complaints. Searching for the current branding of 'stenfield solicitors' will typically bring up the correct site. class="infoquote "83% of new clients are recommended to us through word of mouth"< div> A quick note on navigation because alt...


Springle & Co Solicitors: That's because people are less likely to jump online and write a review about their divorce, will, or criminal offence compared to praising the pizza they just got delivered. Springle and Company have a page on their site https: springleandco.co.uk our-fees " listing item...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'. Make sure you're on the correct site and don't discuss bank details or payments via email.. But hopefully from the examples and resources quoted in the article below, you'll see why they have been added to our...


Simper Law Ltd: But if you want to find out how many years your actual solicitor has behind them, the best resource is their local law society. At Simper Law they have legal professionals from each of the last three decades available. They even kick off their website with a self-description...


The Search Bureau: We think it's fair to say though that after 12+ years of them being in business, with the relationships they have with other renown service providers, and the single-product-focus they clearly have - it stands to reason they are good at what they do . All other variants...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: However if a single solicitor says they are a specialist in Family Law, Litigation, Criminal Law, and Conveyancing - that's when the term is not being used fairly. So despite the firm only have a decade and a half of existence, the firm itself has just over fifty years wort...


Richmond Legal Ltd: Over the past two decades the number of law firms willing to work for the drastically reduced pay that Legal Aid provides has dwindled. So a public display (it's actually capitalised on the Richmond Legal website but we shrunk it to avoid distraction) of a number clearly mea...


Rose Fendlen Law: But a poll we took a few years back indicated that the percentage of people that put faith in company provided testimonials was in the single digits. We've covered the differences between the various types of litigation funding fees cost reclaiming in other articles but the ...

Bell Lax Solicitors: On the other hand, an individual solicitor who tries to handle a huge range of case types cannot really call themselves a specialist. That's usually how a firm with a wide case range can still technically call themselves a 'specialist'. It can even look as though they got ...


Pump Court Chambers: For example when Pump Court write they are 'based in london and focusing on the South and West' - that really stands out to us as a very positive message . secretaries and other support staff."< div> That brief but good description found https: en.wikipedia.org wik...


Penerley Lawyers: There's therefore been quite a surge in the number and type of legal service provider popping up to meet the demand. Penerley do have slightly longer opening hours than some firms and we saw one website listing them as having a half day Saturday open too. If they...


Pacific Law: We've also seen dozens of negative reviews followed by comments from the firm stating 'this person has never been a client of ours'. It's the brand that's been around for centuries - not the people. Some are chargable, some aren't, some are really expensive. Don't just rely ...


OneLaw Chambers: A https: www.legal500.com how-it-works " list of the qualities and standards< a> each firm on the Legal 500 list has to meet as a bare minimum is also available. All of the common variants you'd expect such as www.onelawsolicitors.com .co.uk also seem to be owned by dif...


My Law Matters: We've been writing law articles for over twenty years now and have therefore worked alongside hundreds of law firms in that time. But there are no negative implications we know of for firms having different brandings. (No, really.) Whilst there is a negative comme...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Alan Vincent shows a qualification date in 1978 with the son, Michael Vincent, qualifying in 2011. We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years now and can certainly remember a lot more 'XZY & Son' brands being around. A few tips on independent comment ...


Milners Solicitors: class="infoquote "very professional and helpful and provided a personal service which I imagine larger companies would not be able to provide" "a professional and personable approach to what was a daunting experience" "committed to the traditional values of ...


Michael Leighton Jones: That's very common though. 'living in the past', 'unfriendly', and 'inefficient'). Whilst we try not to offer direct legal advice on our site, it is probably very fair (almost obvious actually) to comment that a solicitor that works in a small niche area of law may have mor...


Mckie Legal: We're not sure about the Wigan office the law society is still showing, but www.mckielegal.co.uk is the official website which we link to above with www.mckielegal.com not currently being owned by anyone and most of the variants (e.g. We couldn't find any public reviews...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: The most obvious mistake people might make because it's a law firm is to try searching for 'Mason & Bullock' instead. Some people are handing over entire house deposits to fraudsters based solely on an email asking them to change the bank details they pay to. There are far b...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: (More on that later.) Staff profiles are something we always recommend law firms to provide and these are excellent examples of the information consumers really want. Put that all together though, and it backs up the firm's claim on their website: class="infoquote "...


Lefevres Law: In our honest opinion though, that's complete nonsense and any claims about founding dates should be utterly ignored. Sadly in Scotland the Law Society website covering legal professionals is not as good as their English Welsh counterpart. In the same way, under the umb...


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. This is a great benefit for clients as it means a better chance of getting legal help from someone with focused expertise and experience in your particular...


Khan Law: The majority have the same sort of sales language, the same images of people shaking hands happily, and the same boasts. But we have seen many firms calling themselves specialists simply because they don't handle absolutely everything. Read the actual comments. Usually that...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: which sounds great. In our opinion though, whether a solicitor does or does not take such a cut should never be a deal breaker when trying to decide which law firm to use. One of the best resources we always recommend people use when researching law offices and solicitors ...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: If you are looking for help with a property matter, this sort of online care is even more important https: monzo.com blog we-sent-our-house-deposit-to-a-fraudster-who-posed-as-our-lawyer" due to a long-term scamming technique< a> of getting clients buying selling a p...


HooperHyde: Sometimes you don't need a local firm. But others may state something like 'over ten years of experience within the firm' - which could mean five staff members with just two years experience each. class="infoquote "Ultimately, we want you to be fully satisfied with t...


Hill House Chambers: class="infoquote "I have barristers based in different parts of the UK and they are also more than happy to travel for work so wherever you have a hearing we can find someone for you."< div> This is another difference between a solicitor's firm and a barrister's ...


Hawkridge & Company: Ampersands can't be in domain names so certainly you can't go to something like www.hawkridge&co.co.uk but all the other variants we checked such as www.hawkridge.co.uk or www.hawkridgeandco.co.uk were also owned by other firms. So what should you look out for? One th...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Hazel managed to keep my spirits up as well as using her knowledge, experience and "determination to see the purchase go through" "always available to answer any question and keep me updated "< div> Fulton's have considerable positive reviews dotted around the af...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: class="infoquote "went the extra mile to extract all the information I needed for piece of mind" "I have found their staff and service to be friendly, considered, efficient, attentive and informative" "we have had to sell our house remotely. The largest prop...


Fair Result Ltd: Again that sounds like it means something but if that firm's office has a bright pink upward sliding door painted with purple Spongebob characters - that would technically count as them providing a 'unique' experience to people. Not every case requires a lengthy court proce...


Education Law Service Ltd: But why do we even need such lawyers? Surely there are organisations, laws, and procedures already in place to look after children in a country like ours? class="infoquote "In our experience, some Local Authorities appear to have a default policy of refusing assessment...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: So when Dylan Nair make a public statement on their site like this, it's not something to be glossed over . But just keep aware whether you've come back to the correct site by either bookmarketing it for later or searching for the correct firm. If a solicitor doesn't ...


DV Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our top-notch legal services are not limited to UK residents, but we are also delivering superior legal affair services for Pakistani citizens."< div> As just mentioned, we were looking for firms with international reach. But there are no 200 ye...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: (No pun intended.) class="infoquote "The compensation you can claim is ... Unless the law firm you're looking at states both on their website - it is more than likely they take a cut of your compensation as a success fee - also know as a 'conditional fee arrangement'. ...


David Stinson & Co: class="infoquote "David Stinson & Co specialise in personal injury claims for clients across the Kent area."< div> Whilst many case types might be listed on any personal injury firm's website such as slips trips, workplace injuries, car accidents, etc. We've alre...


Cooks Solicitors: She is very good at clearing jams in the conveyancing process."< div> We couldn't find a staff profile section on the Cooks Solicitors website at the time of writing. She has a friendly and sympathetic approach. class="infoquote "We have been in business in Newcas...


CEL Solicitors: Then search for firms handling 'financial mis-selling' matters. We typically don't quote reviews listed on a firm's own website (more commonly called 'testimonials') ever since our poll last year indicated that only 8% of people trust such testimonials on company sites. Toda...


Catteralls Solicitors: class="infoquote "very polite and explained everything to us in detail" "Extremely friendly, efficient and courteous at all times" "We have dealt with Catteralls over the last 20 years on several occasions and have always had expert service"< div> Howev...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: class="infoquote "Acted quickly and very professional" "Things were moved quickly and Felicity was always on the ball" "Fast, efficient and helpful" "was very helpful and I would recommend anyone who has problems in child access"< div> The question...


Brown and Co Solicitors: The first is whether a firm is actually experienced and the other about firms which cover a range of case types rather than a single specialty. Our poll from a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted testimonials provided by companies on their website. Plus doze...


Bridge McFarland LLP: has held the Law Society’s quality standard accreditation mark, Lexcel, since 2008 demonstrating its high standards, excellent client service and cost efficient advice."< div> This sentence on the Bridge McFarland site is much more useful. There are many resour...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: We've seen very tenuous links before including one firm that claimed their history went back 200+ years because they moved into the building previously occupied by an older firm. The boxes that need to be ticked off for inclusion do mostly revolve around things that benefit...


BLZ Solicitors: That's something to watch for especially with property matters as scammers contact clients telling them deposits need to be made to different bank accounts. A switch of sides from a solicitor is not something to be taken lightly and should really mark as a big pl...


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. We usually can't find specific pages on a firm but if you https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=bilkus&Postcode=&ty...


Beers LLP: This article is therefore going to sound quite 'pro' their firm , making it look almost like something they wrote themselves and paid us to publish. But we didn't see such a solicitor named as working at this firm. We would really recommend reading the reviews through, thou...


Argue & Co Legal: It depends greatly on the case type. Especially in more personally involved circumstances such as suing an employer or a friend's insurance company after a crash where you were an injured passenger. We've seen a criminal defense firm insulted for not taking someone's divor...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: It certainly does help to have someone very interested in your specific case type handling the matter for you though. If you check on https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 532203 antony-hodari-holdings-limited?Solicitors=True" the page for this fi...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 600584 abs-lawyers-limited" check out the page for this firm< a> you'll see details of their two offices in Corby and Maghull, any alternative trading names, staff listings, languages spoken, case expert...
