Our parent firm has written hundreds of editorial review pieces on law firms around the UK including general practice offices, specialists and non-law firm solutions. You can read about them here:

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: The idea being that the older the firm, the more experienced it is. This firm is covered by The Law Society of England & Wales which we have long praised for having the best user-side data offering. class="infoquote "Our team of industry experts have been brought to...


Guardian Law: They provide a wide range of data on each law firm and legal professional registered with them including all business aliases, alternate contact details, speciality case types, and qualification dates of the solicitors. So make sure you are always on the correct site and nev...


Backhouse Solicitors: A quick note on navigation though. Not only is that an extraordinary number of reviews for a UK law firm, but the fact they handle conveyancing and have an average star rating of 4.9 is also quite unheard of. The most common are those https: www.itv.com news ...


WH Solicitors: That's good. If there is only one or two solicitors in the practice and they say they specialise in three dozen types of law - certainly be cautious. People are just often far less inclined to publicly discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, or brain injuries on comment boards t...


Two Harcourt Buildings: There are many other differences between solicitors and barristers but we just wanted a quick article to assure you that if you are struggling to find background information on any chambers - you're not alone. But still make sure to flick through and chat with a few d...

MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Tens of thousands of pounds have ended up in the pockets of fraudsters. We therefore turn to the same places most consumers do which is the public review board such as https: www.google.com search?q=mjv+law+Thornton-Cleveleys&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsalxGo7b...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Make sure you're on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. This is hugely important because the firm deals with property matters which have been https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-d...


Woodstock Legal Services: Woodstock also have a range of badges logo across the bottom of each page such as ILEX, The Legal 500, Law Society Accreditions, and more. Some law firms list hobbies, pets names, and even favourite colours which we think is not only pointless, but a little off putting on a...


Stephanie Heijdra: As you may have gathered from the network setup and other articles across our site, our goal is not just to provide a directory of the most common law firms. class="infoquote "conscientious, approachable and methodical in her approach" "She was quick to turn the c...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: They provide far, far more than any of their rival organisations on the user side including office locations, aka business names, alternative contact details, and most importantly - the qualification dates and areas of law each solicitor within a firm specialises in. We've...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: A quick note on navigation though as the firm's official website is www.thaxtedlegal.com which we've linked to above but none of the variants such as www.thaxtedlegal.co.uk, www.thaxted.co.uk or the .com redirect you there. They were all very positive and helpfully provide...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: If a firm has more than one office some sites like Google will only show reviews for each individual office names in the search. They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see . Including Colin Sleeman (qualified in 1983), Andrew Blair (...


Brown and Co Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 509558 brown-and-co-solicitors" check the page for this firm< a> you'll see contact details, case types covered, and most importantly - the number of years each qualified solicitor has been so. However it's amazing just ho...

Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Even better: get an actual solicitor with both. If we do add a general law practice in an area though, we try to find one that looks the most 'solid'. class="infoquote "In a tough legal world we are here to fight your corner."< div> If you've scrolled through a ...


Hill House Chambers: Typically we refer, like most consumers, to the third party boards such as Google, Yelp, Yell, Trustpilot, etc. Hence the reason for us breaking with tradition over testimonials. One thing we think the firm could improve on is fuller profiles for each of the barristers...


Stowe Family Law: You have to search for your specific local office to see reviews about it only. Either way, what bits should you be paying attention to?
class="infoquote "At Stowe Family Law, we are the only national law firm dedicated to family matters with the UK's largest t...


Rose Fendlen Law: On that last one: class="infoquote "Specialising in: ... So whilst an individual solicitor saying they are a specialist in Family Law, Wills, Injuries, Property and Criminal Law doesn't make a whole lot of sense - on this occasion it does. Housing Disrepair & Other Li...


Bell Lax Solicitors: If you've already flicked through a few dozen law firm websites today trying to find the best one for your case, it probably became a bit of a blur. class="infoquote "Are Drunken Contracts Binding?"< div> They have a real news section. For example Richard Kerry q...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: So if you see one written on a solicitor's site it does not mean both are on offer. That means each will only be covered very briefly, but hopefully it will provide a greater selection of things that might help when trying to decide between the various law firms available ...


The Legal Practice Ltd: That's an understandable position considering company testimonials tend to be all positive and not always including the information people want such as both pros AND cons of the firm . Law firms can get so boastful of their ancient start dates that it makes TLP's claim of 1...


Youngs Solicitors: Each individual office they manage has kept a local, recognisable name with their own website and case range. The situation is almost as bad as trying to find and NHS dentist in this country. The official website for Young & Co is www.youngs.law with www.youngs.co.uk being...


Lefevres Law: The second means there are no costs to you at all throughout the entire case, win or lose. Typically these are called 'testimonials' rather than 'reviews' because they are always the most positive comments they have on file and have usually been obtained through a customer...


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. Some firms...


Cooks Solicitors: Whilst many firms provide testimonials on their websites, these are not normally given much attention. She has a friendly and sympathetic approach. However the problems of usually come from email...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. But that happens constantly for law firms. We've been writing about and working with law firms for over twenty years now. That's just plain rude. So how do Swain & Co look on the public forums? ...


My Law Matters: That's a fair enough thing to want though. My Law Matters do display customer reviews on their website: class="infoquote "They are fast and understanding and they do explain everything thoroughly" "From start to finish, a professional and polite service from all t...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: For Personal Injury matters you should never have to pay anything up front or during the case at all. . Because we're dealing with property matters is increasingly important to ensure you are using the correct websites and communication options. We would imagine that ha...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: But this sort of mixup on the review boards is certainly something to keep in mind when doing some due diligence on law firms, not just Burton & Co. We are now part of a national network of firms under the QualitySolicitors Brand."< div> The firm itself has therefore be...


OneLaw Chambers: There have been a lot of negative moves by the government over the past two decades that have impacted the ability for regular people to obtain justice. 'one' and 'law') most search terms will bring up the firm at the top of results. A https: www.legal500.com how-it-works ...


Beers LLP: class="infoquote "We take time to get to know our clients, their businesses and their individual needs."< div> The most common resource people use when judging the merits of any service provider is usually the customer reviews . class="infoquote "You have ...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: Fairweather Claims Ltd is a claims management company and is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority"< div> As you can see from the above snippet from the firm's website, claims management companies are no longer meant to be unregulated industry pirates. Typic...


Simper Law Ltd: You'll also be shown the qualification dates and specific case expertise of each solicitor within the firm. It's very common in law firm review sections to see the losing side of a case leave negative ratings on the firm that beat them. Luckily this firm is registered ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: . class="infoquote "We are happy to have an initial discussion with you, with no obligation and no charge."< div> We would absolutely expect any firm handling litigation matters to offer this. Normally in our information articles about firms we tend to dive off ...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: This firm https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 607835 ula-solicitors-limited" is registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have the best user-side offering we've seen amongst similar organisations across the UK. Reading bet...


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. One reviewer states - "Lovely foods, friendly staff". class="infoquote "Taylor Price ...


Michael Leighton Jones: 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. The most common being Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Facebook, Yelp, etc. They provid...


Milners Solicitors: That's great because that is who https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 393193 milners" this firm is listed with< a>. class="infoquote "with our combined strength and determination we are always committed to delivering the results you need."< div> The bigg...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: So since the owner of this firm states a solicitor background, we looked him up on the local Law Society website. Whereas if a company says 'we have been helping people for over twenty years' that doesn't mean the person assigned to you will have twenty years' experience. Bu...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: Another is for fraudsters to send out emails pretending to be their solicitor and stating that the bank details for the house deposit they're sending has changed. Being the names of founder partners, the name is quite unique despite 'branch' being a generic term related to p...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: That means you can actually look up how many years each staff member has been a solicitor AND see the case types they specialise in. The legal services industry is a tough one for third party public review forums though because people are not as likely to discuss thei...


CEL Solicitors: When legal issues come up, it's good to have options. It can also be hard to tell the various options apart at first glance with so many firms using trading names or practically identical looking websites. But no-one's perfect. Especially firms in the property market where o...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: If you've read through some of our other review articles you'll probably have noticed that we praise the good amount of publicly available information about law firms in England & Wales versus those in Scotland. Don't just flick through star ratings. That's because the major...


HooperHyde: Hooper Hyde state each lawyer has at least 10 years' experience. If you've used our site to look up or read about legal service providers before, you'll know that we don't cram in thousands of firms like a regular directory. But others may state something like 'over ten yea...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: They even provide the qualification dates of any solicitors working at the firm which helps to highlight whether a firm is exaggerating their experience claims. Over the past few years alone https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 feb 29 bank-scam-solicitors-email-hacked" ...


Fair Result Ltd: Even 'fair result ltd' provided only a handful of related sites including their listing at https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 13245277" Companies House< a>. We simply try to offer a sort of business insider view. class="infoquote "It r...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: Make sure to read comments when it comes to law firms though, not just flick through star ratings. But again if not available on a firm's site, it is often listed in the law society database. The main points people most want to see are typically a photo, case specialties, an...


Mckie Legal: Not vice versa. The main address is in Penrith but they've recently opened a local office in St Helens according to a recent Legal Futures article. But to be honest, in the legal industry it's very common for solicitors to move to larger populations to increase their potenti...
