Editorials on UK Legal Companies
Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: But most people never take them at their word and will always look up reviews left on independent boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. Alternatively a smaller firm is imagined as providing a more personal service with an interest in your specific legal issue, but...
Cook Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "our solicitors in Wirral can provide clear, practical advice and work quickly and efficiently to help you"< div> One thing people may not know about is that for legal practices in England & Wales you can look up a wealth of details about th...
TWB Probate Solicitors: The official site is www.twbprobatesolicitors.com which is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. One person, throughout the whole process will deal with your matter."< div> As you can see, the TWB Probate site states a solicit...
Brodies LLP Solicitors: However, this wealth of choice comes with its own difficulties of being able to tell each firm apart and decide which is best for you . To see more, you will have to type in another office location. More importantly, https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 16253...
PCS Legal Ltd: However most people prefer the independent forums such as Facebook, Trustpilot, and Google. This resource may be a useful to bear in mind when trying to decide between conveyancers. The Council for Licensed Conveyancers https: www.clc-uk.org practice-search ?pract...
Dispute Resolver Consultancy: It's possible this could be because the firm is using generic terms in the name - i.e. They offer a 30 minute free consultation to discuss your issue and see if ADR can help get the matter resolved without the need for court. They all seem more of an ombudsmen type of proc...
Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: That's actually rarer than you might think for a firm that handles house buying selling. In particular - property sales clients. We see many legal practices touting 'established in' dates with the obviously intention of implying they are more experienced and well-establish...
Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: It sounds great, but most firms will make claims such as these on their websites too. Some have https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1782733 scam-warning-home-deposit-hackers-online" handed thousands of pounds over to scammers< a> sometimes based on a single e...
Solidaire Solicitors: Certainly, I can't imagine any firm stating the opposite. But that could simply mean they have 10x members of staff each with only 2x years of experience. We've seen firms state phrases such as "20 years of combined experience within the firm". So what phrases can you use to...
Defank Solicitors:
Defank is https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 21827 defank-solicitors" registered there< a> and you are able to look up the qualification dates, expertise, and languages spoken by any solicitor within the firm. It's much harder to find firms tha...
QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: Each firm also typically changes their own website to redirect to a profile section on the main https: en.wikipedia.org wiki QualitySolicitors" www.qualitysolicitors.com< a> instead - but more on that later. As mentioned before the firm's own website www.largeandgibson.co...
HCR Legal LLP: HCR Legal has 10 locations at present: Worcester, Cambridge, Ross-On-Wye, Reading, Cheltenham, Hereford, Northampton, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London. It's dedicated to helping people who have been injured directly by, or through the negligence of, doctors, nurses, clinics, ...
Horsley Law: The snippets above are from testimonials posted on the firm's own site but many prefer to use independent boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. So where can you regularly get useful information about lawyers and legal practices? For example today we're using Horsl...
All Law Ltd: So it might be an idea to bookmark the site if you plan on coming back.
class="infoquote "We focus on ... So you need to pay attention to the websites you are on and the emails you receive. People have ended up https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk conveyancing-sca...
Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: Both deal with preparing contracts, land registry searches, local authority access checks, money transfers, etc. We've been writing in the legal industry for over twenty years and conveyancing firms with star ratings in the 4s is actually rather unusual. Unlike divorce, crim...
Amy King Legal: Our staff have varied experience in courts, immigration centres, insurance claims, and we even have an ex-policeman. Some people have handed their https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1782733 scam-warning-home-deposit-hackers-online" entire house deposit< a> o...
Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: When it comes to online reviews though there are two things you need to remember. You sometimes need to search for the firm name and city they are in to see that information pop up - e.g. You can get a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 150-year-old law firm. If their name wa...
McCarthy + Co LLP: This includes the Law Societies of both NI and ROI too. They are not the be-all and end-all of important things to check. Ampersands and plus signs cannot be in web addresses.
One thing to bear in mind though is that while many firms claim to be award winning - not al...
Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: A selection of seasoned minds with hopefully some fresh eyes mixed in?
class="infoquote "kept fully informed at all times"
"Very professional and to the point"
"very professional and positive experience"
"excellent service, communication and great results"< div>...
ACSL Solicitors Ltd: They also seem to have a genuine help article section with everything from basic 'We're Selling a property - how does it work?' pieces to more in depth 'what is causation in an RTA?' .
Thousands of people each year end up https: www.theguardian.com money 2023 oct...
Sternberg Reed LLP: But the most common way people confirm about a company's 'exceptional customer service' is by checking the independent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. Keep safe and keep aware. Either the number of years they've been in business as Sternberg Reed h...
Eatons Solicitors: Firms will try to express experience in many ways. We've been working with law firms for over 20 years and rarely have we seen such a collection of experience within one firm.
class="infoquote "we have expanded beyond our roots and branched out to serve the whole of...
WYM Legal Ltd:
class="infoquote "As a CLC accredited conveyancer, the focus of the business is our client’s satisfaction, reducing stress throughout the process."< div>
WYM has also received https: www.clc-uk.org about what-we-do " CLC accreditation< a>.
This is esp...
Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: They all sound great descriptions, but as there are no firms claiming to be 'unfriendly', 'newbies', or 'out of date' - such terms don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. With offices in Maesteg, Bridgend, and Port Talbot"< div>
Being in Wales this fir...
Wolf Law Solicitors: However such agreements may require a fee if the case wins. If you are looking up the firm on Google such as for reviews, you may have to enter the town name as well to get those details to show up - e.g. This is usually as a percentage of any compensation recovered.
...
SG Murphy Solicitors: They can tell you more about the actual firm and it's priorities compared to a well-crafted sales text on the front page. Those are all great things to be as a law firm, but certainly there are no firms claiming to be the opposite. Watch out for general themes both posit...
Walker Foster Solicitors: The Law Society of England & Wales has an amazing site rivalling anything their counterpart organisations currently offer. How many times have you read 'award winning' with no mention of what the award was for? If it was for best logo design then it's clearly not an award ...
Harrison's Solicitors: That includes any alternate business names (we'll come back to that), contact details, areas of law covered, and most importantly - qualifications of staff within the firm. Never discuss payments via email. But you can no longer see reviews for the company in general.
...
Girlings Solicitors LLP: Both are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms. They have the Lexcel quality assurance mark given by The Law Society, specific accreditation for Personal Injury and also Clinical negligence matters, https: www.apil.org.uk " APIL< a> (A...
UVS Law: However you need to be very careful when it comes to legal services as not only are there stories about people https: www.unlockthelaw.co.uk News fake-lawyers-how-do-i-know-my-solicitor-is-real 1308421615.html" pretending to be a lawyer< a> when they are not, there are al...
Kee Solicitors Ltd: www.keesolicitors.com does not redirect you there though and there are a few other firms with 'kee' in the name such as the Kee Law Firm. But the 'high street solicitor office' handling a wide range of cases was more common. That can certainly be a bit more helpful than the ...
Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: For example, for Waterstone they list solicitors Rayhan Ahmed who qualified in 2009, Akeel Hussain (2015), and others right up to Akaash Hussain who joined the profession in 2021. Many house buyers have handed over tens of thousands of pounds into a fraudsters bank account d...
Mark Croft Solicitor: That's how uncommon it is. It's like finding a dentist that still accepts NHS patients! In our opinion, still taking Legal Aid in this hostile time is a sign of integrity . At the time of writing the site was not https secure so it might be better to ring with your queries ...
EMD Law LLP: There's plenty of experience within this law office with solicitor Robert Taylor having qualified in 1977 and Elizabeth Dumbleton in 1999. We've also seen some search results for this firm under 'Hastings' and 'Maidstone' as those are much larger cities near their offices....
Lyons Solicitors: For example if a solicitor states they have 20 years of experience, that's great.
A quick note on navigation as there are several firms with 'lyons' in the name such as Lyons and Company and even one in the same town - Lyons Davidson. We always recommend reading actual...
Brian Barr Solicitors: The firm's branding is reflected in the web address with the official site being simply www.brianbarr.co.uk (www.brianbarr.com does not redirect there). Certainly you can't get a balanced range of comments as no firm we've seen ever posts their negative feedback on their web...
Frei Solicitors: The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or maybe bookmark the site if coming back later? The site is HTTPS secure for submitting queries through the contact form.
class="infoquote "extremely clear, concis...
Drummond Miller LLP: It's a resource we constantly recommend to people . That may sound like something you would never fall for. The official website follows the firm's name so www.drummondmiller.co.uk as the firm is not 'Drummond & Miller' as we've seen some people searching for on here. The ...
Calio Claims: e.g.
With that all in the past, why do law firms still use separate brand names and 'Trading As' statements? The most common reason is modern appeal.
class="infoquote "Calio Claims has helped thousands of people recover physically and financially following an ...
EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Also you cannot use an ampersand in web addresses so www.edclord&co.co.uk is not possible. This is especially important in today's digital age, where many people rely on their smartphones and tablets to access information online. The site also includes a blog section that fe...
Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: That will also give you a better idea of any themes - positive or negative. Alternate searches such as 'njs law' or even typical mis-spellings such as 'nicholas jones sutton' brought up the correct firm. So how can you tell whether one firm is better for your needs compare...
Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: If you are interested in a firm that doesn't provide this information though, there is a wealth of data on law firms on the website of The Law Society of England & Wales including years of experience of each professional they list. The majority are positive which is actual...
The Law Partnership Solicitors:
In this article we're going to share a few tips on how we check up on firms we're thinking of adding. People have https: www.bbc.co.uk news world-europe-jersey-64624656" handed their entire house deposit< a> into fraudster's bank accounts sometimes simply because...
Wilford Smith Solicitors: Many home buyers have https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk conveyancing-scams " handed their entire house deposit< a> to a scammer sometimes merely because they received an official-looking email saying the bank details for payment had changed. Clearly there is not a 200-...
Foster & Coleman Ltd: If you've already flicked through a dozen law firm websites today looking for one that can help you with your case, you may have noticed that most of them have the same sort of language which makes it difficult to tell them apart.
This is simply not true any more. Thi...
Wildcat Law Ltd: For example this snippet from the Wildcat Law front page:
class="infoquote "Sensible and practical advice. If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today you'll probably have noticed a lot use the same sort of 'sales language'. But a quick note on navi...
LS Legal Solicitors Ltd:
This becomes even more important for cases such as Immigration where the law is constantly changing, unbelievably confusing, and typically requiring some international knowledge. But we were impressed by the fact that as they've grown they seem to have limited that...
