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:

Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: Ideally what people want is a small personal firm, with the resources of a large firm, with a specialism in their particular case. Another note on navigation. Therefore while your local takeaway might have hundreds of reviews , your local solicitor might only have a ...


Cook Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "kept us well informed the whole time" "answered all of our questions promptly and with full clarity" "extremely supportive and incredibly efficient" "we received regular communications and advice"< div> Those are a few snippets from thir...


TWB Probate Solicitors: The Law Society of England & Wales however has a wonderful site with a wealth of information on every firm registered including languages spoken, contact details, staff, links to regulatory associations, as well as the qualification dates of each solicitor within th...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: You need to find the things that set firms apart from each other, not what just sounds good on a webpage next to an image of lawyers smiling and shaking hands. So what other factors can you use to distinguish between legal service providers? class="infoquote "Search o...


PCS Legal Ltd: The firm's branding seems solid around the name PCS Legal Ltd based in Essex with the official site at www.pcslegal.co.uk which makes it easier to remember and to not make mistakes. There's the https: www.sra.org.uk consumers register " Solicitors Regulation Author...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: There has been a rise in the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the UK. class="infoquote "Dispute Resolver Consultancy can get more done for you in the resolution of your dispute through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, both in national and...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: class="infoquote "CWJ is a progressive modern practice that operates proactively on its clients' behalf by combining the knowledge and experience of talented individuals with systems built to minimise risk and maximise productivity."< div> This is a far more i...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: It sounds great, but most firms will make claims such as these on their websites too. Our 1to1Legal website never asks you for your personal details and does not sell your information on. It seems so long ago that you would have a handful of solicitor offices in your local h...


Solidaire Solicitors: Make sure any firm you are thinking of using has https: www.sra.org.uk " an SRA number< a> listed on their site. So how do you tell the firms apart when a website is pretty much all you have to go on? Solidaire are a law firm based in Milton Keynes. The firm's sit...


Defank Solicitors: There are thousands of stories online about people who have https: www.which.co.uk news article friday-afternoon-fraud-the-scam-that-wipes-out-your-house-deposit-in-seconds-aczyy9J2tFkK" handed their entire house deposit to scammers< a> sometimes based solely on a ...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: A quick note on navigation. We should point out though, that if a firm only has a handful of reviews it does not mean they are not a good firm. class="infoquote "We are dedicated to making the process as hassle free as possible for our clients."< div> The...


HCR Legal LLP: HCR Legal has 10 locations at present: Worcester, Cambridge, Ross-On-Wye, Reading, Cheltenham, Hereford, Northampton, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London. As you can see they are generally positive. This above is a snippet from the https: www.medicalaccidentgroup.co.uk" Medi...


Horsley Law: For newer firms this might be more difficult. 100% Satisfied Clients."< div> They are a relatively new firm in comparison to the ages of many legal practices in the UK, with Horsley being set up in 2016. We've long advocated people use this online resource when looki...

All Law Ltd: The worst currently target property matters due to the large sums involved. The official site for this firm has a less usual ending to being www.your.law and no other websites currently redirect you there. It's user-side offerings far exceed anything it's counterparts curren...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: This is hugely important to note because for property matters you absolutely need to make sure you are on the correct site and only discussing the sale with your firm. There's a distinct difference between a 'licensed conveyancer' and a 'conveyancing solicitor'. But mo...


Amy King Legal: Or at least, less understanding. If you've been trawling through the hundreds of law firm websites today you'll have noticed a lot of them tout incredible founding dates such as 'established in 1881' . It's always seen as if you have to make the choice between a) using a ...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: You sometimes need to search for the firm name and city they are in to see that information pop up - e.g. If their name wasn't enough of a giveaway , the first line of their website: class="infoquote "Specialists in family law since 1994 representing clients in all a...


McCarthy + Co LLP: class="infoquote "we bring over 30 years of sterling legal experience to each of our cases"< div> . One thing to bear in mind though is that while many firms claim to be award winning - not all of them seem to clarify which award that is. class="infoqu...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: It sounds great, is clear about their location, and indicates that they offer services for both private matters and commercial ones. It doesn't help that so many law firms repeat the same sales pitches, use the same language and even seem to use the same stock photos. Howe...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: We know this does happen alot with property matters, where clients of the other side start leaving negative messages about the buyer seller's solicitor. class="infoquote "We are transparent about our prices – they're all listed here on the website."< div> ...


Sternberg Reed LLP: The Law Society covering those areas is one we've often praised on our site. For example, Sternberg Reed are listed in the Legal 500 which you can read https: www.legal500.com " more about here< a>. Neither of the variants such as www.sternbergreed.co.uk get you to th...


Eatons Solicitors: You could end up with a 1 year qualified solicitors at a 200 year old firm or a 40 year veteran lawyer at a brand new law practice. But there won't be a 150 year old guru sat behind a desk monitoring everything. The negative comments seem to be mostly related to house purcha...


WYM Legal Ltd: Be vigilant. The official site is HTTPS secure though for submitting your details via their contact form. Stating you are 'ranked No.1 for speed of closing in the North West of Scotland' - that could be very useful information. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: We have often praised The Law Society of England & Wales for their excellent user resources . For any firm or individual solicitor https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 466551 thomas-and-thomas-solicitors-limited" you can look up< a> whether they are r...


Wolf Law Solicitors: So the merits of the firm as a whole should be taken into consideration. We have seen some sites peg the firm in Birkenhead, Hoylake, Prenton, and Oxton. If one firm says they will charge a 'success fee' of 25% while another says they will give you 100% of the compensation...


SG Murphy Solicitors: However the Law Society for Northern Ireland, like its Scottish counterpart, lags far behind in consumer help resources. A quick note on navigation. Although the firm is called SG Murphy Solicitors the official website is www.murphysolicitors.co.uk (not www.sgmurphy.co...


Walker Foster Solicitors: They also have example prices publicly displayed on their website rather than just saying to call for a quote. They are something to watch for on law firm's websites. Why? Because a lot of law firms will state 'we are a large well-established firm' along with a bunch of ot...


Harrison's Solicitors: www.harrisonssolicitors.co.uk is not currently owned by the firm and there will be plenty of variations like it also un-owned. One resource we're constantly recommending to people is the website of The Law Society of England & Wales. It will take you less than 30 seconds t...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: As mentioned there are two sites. Very rough example, but hopefully makes the point. The main one is www.girlings.com which covers Family Law, Wills, Property, Commercial matters, etc. But they also indicate a solid history, experience, and a sense of real pride in their wo...


UVS Law: Your immigration lawyer should discuss your options with you before making you decide whether to use their services.. For a barrister this can be a bit more difficult as the Bar Standards Council don't have the best user-side information setup. class="infoquote "We ...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: The firm has its own https: www.keesolicitors.co.uk our-people" staff profile page< a> listing some information and background about each solicitor. Hopefully one day the Scottish database will be as good as the English (which is a tough thing to say as a Scottish firm ou...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "For more information on our services please call 01274 652 555"< div> On that point we should cover some notes about navigation generally since leaving a review on the wrong firm is not the only problem that can arise if you're not careful onl...


Mark Croft Solicitor: While statements such as these on some solicitor websites are meant to give the impression of extensive experience - it's pretty much meaningless. They are too busy https: www.dailymail.co.uk news article-12003657 Brisbane-couple-conned-102-000-savings-house-elaborate-scam...


EMD Law LLP: We just rarely find good comments in the hand-picked testimonials. class="infoquote "At EMD Law we have a strong commitment to client care and aim to offer a friendly, efficient and cost effective service to all our clients."< div> Typically the first thing peop...


Lyons Solicitors: That may sound like wasting time, but we've been doing this for over twenty years now and can tell you it is highly common to see people reviewing the wrong firm or complaining about something that is out of the company's control. Prior to online searching, people wou...


Brian Barr Solicitors: But expertise is not the whole story. This firm, like many others, provides customer testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "Highly recommend this firm for their expertise in fibromyalgia" "made what was an extremely stressful time in my life easier to deal...


Frei Solicitors: class="infoquote "extremely clear, concise, practical and courteous" "very happy with the company providing a tailored service for my company" "simplified the entire process for my matter"< div> Those are some snippets about Frei Solicitors from the public ...


Drummond Miller LLP: We can't even link you to a page with information, only https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=drummond+miller&Postcode=&type=firm" to a search results page< a> which at the time of writing was pushing information off the edges of the mobile device. class...


Calio Claims: 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. For legal help south of the border we always recommend people check out The Law Society of England & Wales' website to ge...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: This is an excellent way for potential clients to get to know the lawyers at EDC Lord and determine whether they have the experience and expertise needed to handle their legal matter. The official site uses only the edclord part which is important to note because the firm ...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: An email like that surely deserves 30 seconds to call and confirm before transferring £50k? class="infoquote "We will always be honest about whether we can help you, what you can expect from us, and what it will cost."< div>. Here you can get clear answers about...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: Surely a desirable mix of fresh eyes with wise minds? (We can be poetic sometimes!) class="infoquote "easy to contact and responded to emails usually the same day" "super quick and kept a good communication through out the process" "helped navigate my property s...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: There are already enough of them about and you've most likely arrived at our site because you've seen a post of ours offering more information about actual firms and help articles. If we https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 592124 the-law-partnership-c...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: So for Wilford Smith to have such a high positive profile on review sites is very encouraging. 'Wilford Smith & Co' simply seems to be an older name still dotted around, not a different practice. This is because the majority of people involved in a property transaction expe...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: The site is https secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. Whilst that may have been a good indication of a qualified firm during the last century, people move jobs now and create new firms much easier. There were some comments available when we l...


Wildcat Law Ltd: outdated, impractical, unfriendly, unprofessional, and inexperienced. 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'. The combination of the two avenues gives a much wider scope to poten...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: This isn't as much of a problem on this occasion due to the case range covered by the firm. For example, many people seek specialist firms for cases such as Motoring Offences, Divorce, and Conveyancing in the hope that the focused attention and specific experience will pro...
