Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Over the past two decades people have https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1511097 property-warning-home-buyers-scam-conveyancing-fraud" handed millions over to fraudsters< a>. So don't dismiss such offers lightly. Firms will sometimes have testimonial pages and...
Guardian Law: class="infoquote "our specialist employment lawyers can advise and represent you"< div> Today's article is on Guardian Law, an Employment Law specialist based in Nottingham working on the businesses side of the aisle. There are several statements such as these...
Backhouse Solicitors: Are they cherry picking? class="infoquote "extremely professional and always responded to the many queries I had" "extremely diligent and responsive, usually replying to emails within 5 minutes" "Their replies to my queries were both timely and accurate" "The...
WH Solicitors: Does WH Solicitors have that? The easiest way to check on a firm is to use The Law Society of England & Wales website for firms in those countries. But typically the fraudsters targeting law firm clients are only after property matters due to the huge deposits they manage ...
Two Harcourt Buildings: Especially if there isn't much extra independent information to base a decision on instead. . So whilst The Direct Access scheme is a major, massive, and immensely helpful shake up to the legal system allowing members of the public to deal direct with their representation...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: It usually relates to the length of time the firm has been running or the highest number of years a specific lawyer at the firm has been working at the job. As Natalie isn't mentioned on the law practice's site or on the Law Society website at the time of writing this, we ho...
Bridge McFarland LLP: Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. If it was an award for best logo design, then that doesn't really help you as a potential client. Take this example:
class="infoquote "Bridge McFarland LLP is a leading regional law firm that...
Woodstock Legal Services: So always makes sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments via email.
. 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. So which claims and imagery should you look f...
Stephanie Heijdra: There are already hundreds of websites doing that. We think that lends far more weight to the review so have decided to include such snippets this time. That's because reviews left underneath the chamber's name will be about one specific lawyer within it. Just watch out fo...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: For some, the fact they use email sometimes is the pinnacle of their 'modern' achievements. Does that translate into happy clients?
class="infoquote "practical, succinct and jargon-free advice"
"good at giving cost efficient ways of managing the claim"
"a pleasure...
Thaxted Legal Ltd:
Sometimes, like many consumers, we just have to go with our gut. So you'd think we'd always have an arsenal of tools to research any firm we come across. There are also several other Ltd companies with Thaxted in the name so just pay close attention when looking up ...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: The number of large multi-office firms only seems to increase due to some smaller businesses merging to survive the difficult years we've had. So if things have gone bad, it hasn't affected their outward image.
class="infoquote "always available when we had questions...
Brown and Co Solicitors: Our poll from a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted testimonials provided by companies on their website.
class="infoquote "Brown and Co Solicitors is an experienced firm of solicitors offering legal services across a number of specialisms."< div>
...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: We try our best to provide a range of options for people searching for help. However with this firm handling conveyancing matters you need to be extra careful. (More on that later.) Staff profiles are something we always recommend law firms to provide and these are excellen...
Hill House Chambers: However on this occasion many of the reviews on the firm's own website and on third party boards are from peers who are also 'clients'.
The main website is at www.hillhousechambers.co.uk which we link to above. Why it took so long to make this available to the public ...
Stowe Family Law: Today's piece covers the website of Stowe Family Law where there is a fair mix of writing and images to scroll through even on the first page. So what are people saying about Stowe Family Law?
class="infoquote "very supportive during otherwise difficult times"
"She ...
Rose Fendlen Law: The only difference will be on whether they charge you for running the case or provide something such as a no win, no fee agreement. Discrimination Cases ... But a poll we took a few years back indicated that the percentage of people that put faith in company provided testim...
Bell Lax Solicitors: The problem though, is that not all firms are talking about the same thing. Another couple of brownie points for Bell Lax then.
.
class="infoquote "Specialist dispute resolution, accident claim and family law solicitors."< div>
Again, no matter what case range a ...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: It's really very common. As a (ridiculously basic) example - it would obviously be better to use an expert lawyer who takes 25% of a hard won £5000 compensation win, than to use a less expert lawyer who takes 0% of a £2000 settlement. We love case studies, but or...
The Legal Practice Ltd: In our opinion the only 'years' number that matters is the number of years' experience the actual solicitor running your case has. That's actually a much bigger deal than you might think.
class="infoquote "We work closely with other professionals such as surveyors, a...
Youngs Solicitors: However this is still a very confident move because linking through to third party sites for people to view comments about your firm has quite an element of risk. As our poll last year indicated - only 8% of people seemed to take company provided testimonials into account ...
Lefevres Law: The name is quite unique so any searches for 'lefevers solicitors', 'lefevere's law', or other commonly expected errors all still brought up the correct site in searches. The obvious inference being that the older the company, the more experience they must have. (Their other...
David Stinson & Co: This can often be misleading because if the firm has 5 solicitors with just 4 years experience - that equals a total of 20 years. We've already covered two branding options within this law firm's group, but David Stinson & Co is a slightly different one. The official website...
Cooks Solicitors:
So to see a simple claim based on the actual experience levels of the staff within a firm, displays a level of honesty and clarity that perhaps the majority of people will overlook.
class="infoquote "We are a strong believer in explaining things simply and figh...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Since the 90s the government has gutted the Legal Aid system reducing the number of people that can use it, the number of case types it will cover, and the amount of money a solicitor can earn from it. Remember, though, that if you search for the firm name only when research...
My Law Matters:
class="infoquote "Our head office was established in 1986"< div>
Compared to the huge number of legal offices claiming 'established in 1881' or even older dates, this claim of '1986' seems almost new. That's probably why only 8% of you voted last year that you to...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: That's probably why independent review forums such as
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co:
To be on the safe side though, make sure to bookmark the current site in case you want to come back. QualitySolicitors firms are independent law firms that share the aim of providing clients the highest standards of legal expertise combined with exceptional customer ...
OneLaw Chambers:
class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS ... Unlike other industries such as leisure or retail - law firms can end up with negative comments from their competitors, the losing side in a case, and even people who were told their case was nonsense. We ran a poll last year, tho...
Beers LLP: Again, a very good reason to read the comments fully first. 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). Whilst most of the time people may think of special...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There are firms and even individual solicitors that cover a wide range of case types, sort of 'jack-of-all-trades' solicitors. There is a simply huge number of keyword related websites targeting this area of litigation such as www.housingdisrepairhelpline.co.uk, www.housing-...
Simper Law Ltd:
However, we recommend always reading through the actual comments rather than relying on just star ratings.
At first glance Simper Law looks like a regular high street style setup with standard offices and several staff. The most common error we spotted was peop...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: The usual amount is 25% of the settlement.
The age of the firm's brand name has absolutely no bearing on whether the actual solicitor assigned to your case has any experience at all. Today's piece will be no exception and reading through the information for Reynolds Mac...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: The main concept that stood out to us was that the firm certainly lives up to it's claims about not shying away from more complex cases . Some firms post testimonials on their sites, but according to our poll last year only 8% of you trust company provided testimonials. Tho...
Taylor Price Solicitors: Well give you some tips on how to tell them apart in a few paragraphs, but first:
class="infoquote "each one of our clients' benefit from a wealth of experience as would be found in a leading city firm, without sacrificing the personal touch"< div>
If you've alrea...
Michael Leighton Jones: What can you use?
class="infoquote "With offices in Bargoed and Tredomen, Ystrad Mynach, near Caerphilly in South Wales, the firm has over 40 years experience in the legal sector"< div>
One thing people are often wary of are boasts about various years of experie...
Milners Solicitors: But it is fair to use it that way as long as the lawyers working within the firm are focused on their own niche areas of law - i.e. It's something certainly Personal Injury law firm will offer because the majority run cases on no win, no fee anyway. For one thing, there will...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: (Those are some of the more common complaints we see about law firms in general on the web.)
class="infoquote "A very caring gentleman who took time out during his day to meet mum and I to sign the relevant paperwork"
"The process was quick, easy and stress free"...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: well ... Being the names of founder partners, the name is quite unique despite 'branch' being a generic term related to people searching for office locations. So don't take any negative ratings as meaning anything unless there are explanatory (non-stupid) reasons given. So ...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. Indeed as you can probably tell from our article - we're quite impressed with the firm in it's setup, focus, and site language . Whilst we normally haven't used t...
CEL Solicitors: 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. But it's really, really not.
If you want to see the disparity ...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: They can also arrange to meet you in their sister firm's Gildeas' offices in either Glasgow or Edinburgh city centres if that's better.. Obviously there will be people trying a wide variety of close-but-not-quite attempts such as fultons-solicitors or fultonssolicitors. Just...
HooperHyde: We currently showcase the regular high-street-style solicitors people have come to expect, as well as some alternative services that act as an in-house legal team of their own. But they're understandably less likely to share their experiences about a messy divorce, crimina...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: Their site is https secure for entering your details into their contact forms. The only common typo we saw in our logs was for www.anthonyhodari.co.uk with an 'h' in the first name.
If you check on https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 532203 anton...
Fair Result Ltd: FairResult state that if you do decide to go ahead at that point a fixed fee will be agreed upon. So is Fair Result's claim just vague sales jargon? Well, no. Although according to our poll last year, not even single digit percentages of the public put much faith in compan...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd:
If you too have already been through dozens of websites today looking for a solicitor to help you with a legal matter, you may have noticed many firms all claiming to be 'modern', 'experts', 'experienced', and 'friendly'. The official site is https secure for fillin...
Mckie Legal:
class="infoquote "We have a strong emphasis on client care and providing a friendly and no jargon service keeping you fully updated on the case at all stages."< div>
If you've already flicked through a bunch of other lawyer websites today, you'll have quickly noti...
