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:

Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: Often by simply emailing to tell say the bank details for their deposit have changed. Don't ever discuss payments or bank details via email is therefore one good rule to keep to.. A quick note on navigation. The main points people most want to see are typically a photo...


Mckie Legal: We couldn't find any public reviews on McKie Legal at the time of writing this. Please note though that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two totally separate offers. A quick note on navigation considering the related names as we even saw three differen...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: There are things we absolutely would consider make a firm "modern" and having an online booking form like Jacobs Law do is certainly one of them. In this instance that's "Jacobs Law Solicitors Birmingham". So it may be an idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on ...


Argue & Co Legal: You will find it more likely for an actual solicitor to answer the phone and talk to you at a smaller firm which clients tend to feel better about . So what are the review boards saying about Argue & Co as a firm? Well at the time of writing there were only a handful o...


Springle & Co Solicitors: A sort of wedding-planner for end-of-life (if that's not too dark an analogy). This allows you some insight into whether a firm at least has some genuine experience in that area of law.
At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without leaving a wi...

BLZ Solicitors: BLZ Ltd is the same firm, it's just their official Limited registered name. So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fine. So to specialise in them most likely means they have a specialist knowledge they want to use or that they have a...


Hawkridge & Company: It's definitely something to keep in mind whenever you're checking for reviews about any firm that handles property matters. As mentioned before though, make sure to read through the comments rather than just flicking through star ratings. Some examples, for this firm you'...


Pacific Law: Either way should really make no difference to your choice though. 0800 numbers should now be free from every mobile service provider in the UK. will probably continue for some time. Many firms since the pandemic have managed to upgrade their systems to offer ...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: class="infoquote "if someone wants to fight for compensation, their help will be a good choice" "the topic was already closed and nothing could be won, but under their supervision somehow it moved forward" "So for me such support from the law firm was very im...


Stenfield Solicitors: It's very important these days to keep fully aware of what site you are on and the legitimacy of the emails you receive. We did see a couple of complaints. Luckily Stenfield are members of The Law Society of England & Wales which is simply an excellent resource for co...


Khan Law: Normally a firm obtains testimonials for their site through direct questions or specific feedback questionnaires. The majority have the same sort of sales language, the same images of people shaking hands happily, and the same boasts. That's a ridiculously simplistic example...


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 . Debt recovery is another area where using a specialist non-solicitor-based company could be a better solution for your particular needs. T...


Richmond Legal Ltd: Therefore any legal professional still willing to help clients apply and then work under those provisions will always get some respect from us . It's pretty bleak though and only getting worse. The information provided user-side rivals anything we've seen from other Law Soc...

Trust Inheritance Ltd: 'trust' and 'inheritance'. Rather than simply only doing the one case types, specialists in Estate matters will often cover a much wider range of issues and provide a much wider range of services. But even with the potential search issues and other opportunities for scamme...


Bilkus & Boyle: For example, here is the opening message on the Bilkus and Boyle website. You may also find that many of the lowest ratings often have nothing to do with the firm's services. But the client will generally blame their own solicitor. It says 'established' without the exa...


Catteralls Solicitors: That's great. No seriously. Never discuss bank details via email and just try to keep aware of which website you are on. There are so many typical high-street-looking types of law firms around these days it can be hard to find differences between them in order to make a m...


Penerley Lawyers: But so far we've not seen anything too extreme such as beanbag chairs in the conference room. For as long as we can remember (and after working in the industry for over 20+ years now we can remember a lot) most people have always sought a specialist for things like Motor Off...


The Search Bureau: We saw a few other related names including Premier Searches Limited and Conveyancing Compare, but they all have their own sites. The lack of easily available reviews shouldn't be viewed negatively in these cases. class="infoquote "We are a well established market...


Education Law Service Ltd: Another statement on their front page that stands out is: class="infoquote "Evening and weekend appointments can be arranged."< div> This is actually rarer an offer than you might think. So when you see that the law firm you're interested in does not have many re...


Pump Court Chambers: Pump Court Chambers don't handle property matters, but you never know what scammers will come up with next. you'll see that many of the reviews are about specific individuals rather than a whole firm. For example when Pump Court write they are 'based in london and focusing ...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: This can be compared to a Will and how it is worded and the way the finances are passed on in order to ensure your family receive it rather than the bulk going to the goverment. There were obviously a few niggles in our research. Scammers are getting millions from peo...


Lindsays Solicitors: Hopefully we've given you a few new resources to use with these articles and provided a few bits of information you maybe didn't know before to help when deciding which firm you'd like to take your case. Preferrably with reasons commented next to any rating. Not just...


Aspire Licensing: Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services are probably one of the most niche firms we've ever had on our network. Mostly due to having recieved an email that looked official telling them to change over and send the house deposit money to a totally different bank account. ...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: At the moment the majority of scams involving legal matters tend to https: www.bbc.co.uk news av uk-35253594" revolve around property deals where scammers< a> send new bank details to people via email pretending to be from their solicitor. So not to be sneezed at. Co...


Reid Black Solicitors: Quite often this is not reflected in the public reviews of those firms. Having started back in 1999, we obviously put more focus on building up a database of firms based on higher population areas first. Northern Ireland, like much of here in the celtic-relative land of Scot...


Howe + Co Solicitors: Howe & Co are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is a great resource offering a huge amount of information to users. Other companies such as John Howe & Co Solicitors are using www.jhowe.co.uk, and The Howe Practice have www.thehowepractice.co.uk so i...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: If you've read some of our other review articles on firms, this is usually the point where we direct you to various online resources to help research the company in more detail. Most companies will more likely have some vague references to greatness, such as 'we are o...


Levins Solicitors: You can see the massive difference between the great information provided on the England & Wales law society website though when you check out alternates such as https: www.liverpoollawsociety.org.uk lawyers levins-solicitors " their page on the< a> Liverpool Law So...


Aconveyancing Ltd: There really isn't anything for them to cover up to begin with. providing some extra time for people to call with questions. Things moving slower than they'd want, or the client's feeling that their chosen firm could have done more to prevent a certain situation. If th...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting wisdom to the rest of the staff. If you're ever in doubt, the various Law Society databases are a great resource. This includes leaders in their field and companies that could simply be considered 'less ordinar...


RD Costings: The compensation settlements are also not purely based on lost wages or an individual injury such as you'd get with a whiplash claim after a car accident. (Both genuine things we've seen.) Again, it's a small thing but indicates the type of business they run and people the...


MGBe Legal: Someone who knows the 'tricks' of the trade. The list official recommendations for using MGBe Legal are therefore quite high. But if you get someone not on the ball for your criminal defence or immigration - your whole life is affected. Not so with MGBe as https: mg...


McEwan Fraser Legal: The Law Society of England & Wales have an amazing website that provides a huge amount of data user-side . We tried it with a few of our own home addresses and the quotes were in the ball park. And that was only on a £260,000 house. Two other property firms we recommend on...


Fieldfisher LLP: But according to our poll last year, many members of the public also find them useful in helping judge the quality, experience and establishment of a firm when looking to choose one for their own case. There are various such organisations but this one has the best website in...


APS Legal & Associates: But still pay attention to the links you click and remember that email addresses can be faked quite easily. Plus many of the consultants have their own websites promoting their services. As far as we're aware their aren't a lot of scams going where people try to get you to w...


Linkilaw Solicitors: But with a new branding setup, web address change, and expansion into more areas of corporate law - we thought it better to write a whole new piece rather than just update the old one. A few new types of business law firm have started emerging to fill this perceived "gap". W...


NV Legal Ltd: So how can you check the real background of a legal practice? Most legal professionals will be signed up to a Law Society in their area. A very basic example, but hopefully illustrates that whether a firm offers 100% compensation or not should not be a dealbreaker. La...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: Naturally, the ones listed there are all incredibly positive and lengthy in their praise. This is important because some firms will use less-than-transparent (to put it mildly) wording to describe their experience when trying to sell you their services on their website. We...


DFA Law LLP: For example 7 staff members each with 3 years experience can be written as 'over 20 years of combined experience'. So how do we know DFA Law have experience staff? Most legal professionals are signed up to a local Law Society. (Despite some that may look it.) The main t...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: He attended the Institute of Professional Legal Studies Belfast in 2001 and was admitted as a Solicitor in Northern Ireland in 2002 and in the Republic of Ireland in 2003. That's great, and more firms should follow their setup . A quick note on navigation. That might h...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: A quick bit about navigation. Luckily though, with law firms there are sometimes independent ways to check up on such things. They display a wealth of user side information such as staff details, other offices, case expertise and more. are indicative of the general fee...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: This is usually through a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) such as taking a 25% cut of your compensation. We saw a review recently where someone left a one star rating for an Immigration firm for refusing to take on their Divorce case. No matter what firm you're researching...


Allsop Durn Solicitors: Allsop Durn don't actually have any on their website, but there are plenty on the third party boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Yell.com and so on. As the firm has decided to use two surnames for their firm title - you're unlikely to get it mixed up with others. You...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: However, you may be asked to sign a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) which allows the solicitor to take a cut of your compensation. They ask us about car accidents we've never been in then hang up when we ask them to repeat their company details. Clarity, communication, and...


Apprise Legal Services: Don't just look at an average rating and judge by that. On those we still found very positive comments: class="infoquote "Excellent fast and efficient service" "... However if you own a business, have an ex-wife, children, life insurance, etc. Apprise Lega...


Aina Khan Law Ltd: Accident Claims Scotland or Serious Law. 5,000+ cases. Typically when we review a firm we have to excuse the majority of their website's content. 35+ countries covered."< div> Another thing we see alot is firms stating they are 'Award Winning' with no further reference ...


Taborns Legal Business: These are therefore some snippets from the company's own testimonials section on their website: class="infoquote "Will is extremely well connected and his knowledge of the legal market is very impressive." "We were looking for high quality legal professionals, ...
