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: You never know if that one star criticism is from an old opponent who lost to them, or a disgruntled client who's fraudulant whiplash claim got thrown out their office. The official site is https secure for filling your personal details into their contact forms. The offici...


Mckie Legal: It's very common even for firms with decades of history to have less than a handful of online reviews about them. We've seen negative reviews about firms that refused to take people's cases. But whether a solicitor charges a success fee or not shouldn't be the end-all of y...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: The obvious idea they try to stick in your head is that the longer a firm had been established, the more experience must be within the firm. So for Jacobs to be unafraid in posting such a "new" start date in the face of such an "old" industry - well that really st...


Argue & Co Legal: That leads us to another important factor when choosing a lawyer to represent you - enthusiasm . The official site is www.argueandco.co.uk which we link to above whilst www.argueandco.com currently is not owned by anyone. You'll just see auto search results from your browse...


Springle & Co Solicitors: There are always new laws and taxes coming out year on year. While we're not pushing the idea that this particular firm is the best for you, we are certainly pushing the idea that planning properly is important. you get the picture. class="infoquote "Our fees are ...

BLZ Solicitors: But on scrolling through the personal background information it quickly turns out to actually be quite relevant . One thing we have frequently quoted as a dislike on law firm's websites is the new wave of them sharing likes, dislikes, hobbies and favourite colours. For...


Hawkridge & Company: The most useful of these are the qualification dates of the solicitors at each firm which are made available publicly. Some examples, for this firm you'll see David Johncock qualified in 1981, Tristan Alder in 2004, and Michael Oduwole in 2012. A good range of seasoned expe...


Pacific Law: In our opinion both sides are just marketing language. Some are chargable, some aren't, some are really expensive. This is an area of law where we do think a specialist firm can be of benefit, the same as with something like Motor Offences. This new offering is a specialist...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: One is to quote an ancient founding date such as 'established in 1882!' - but this is essentially meaningless, as there are no 200-year old solicitors working at any firm. We try to provide a good selection of potential service providers to people coming through our site loo...


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. That wasn't just the legal industry either. The majority preferred to read comments on third party forums such as ...


Khan Law: But most tend not to be as picky about things like personal injury, wills, landlord disputes, employment law, and so on. That's fair enough. Using an experienced lawyer who takes 20% of a £5000 hard fought win is better than having a less expert lawyer take 0% of a
...


DV Solicitors: But those are all very positive too . DV Solicitors have other positive points. For example their Blog section is not just another excuse to push out extra sales pitches. With so many Pakistan citizens within the UK, making sure we would offer a firm such as Deo Vol...


Richmond Legal Ltd: The official site we link to above is www.richmondlegalltd.co.uk and at the moment the alternative www.richmondlegalltd.com does not show anything. Whilst people may be quite happy to jump online and discuss their new toaster, a local restaurant, or even a house sale - they ...

Trust Inheritance Ltd: So why might you pick a niche firm like Trust Inheritance Ltd over your local high street firm that covers estate matters as well? If you want to get more solid figures about the actual experience of solicitors within any law firm, you can usually get it from their lo...


Bilkus & Boyle: Another line on their site that probably sticks out to us more than to regular consumers would be: class="infoquote "Our firm provides Legal Aid for a number of services."< div> Since the cuts and changes to Legal Aid over the past couple of decades, the number of...


Catteralls Solicitors: The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. We did see the name 'Catterall Pell & Moxon' popping up, a branding that no longer operates. If you look up reviews...


Penerley Lawyers: Penerleys only had three online reviews that we saw after digging through Google, Yell, Yelp and Trustpilot. But so far we've not seen anything too extreme such as beanbag chairs in the conference room. Obviously with huge amounts of money changing hands, fraudsters ar...


The Search Bureau: They offer tools to Conveyancing firms around England & Wales allowing their clients to consolidate a wide range of work into one setup. If you've read some of our other articles where we research solicitors, barristers and law practices across the UK - you'll probabl...


Education Law Service Ltd: However for Special Needs Education Law absolutely the sooner you're talking to someone with the expertise and experience to guide you - the better.. One last point made on the firm's website: class="infoquote "We advise all parents families to take early action, ear...


Pump Court Chambers: It doesn't matter to them. Prior to this you would have to hire a solicitor, tell them all about your case, then they would go hire a barrister and get them to handle court side of the matter. Pump Court Chambers don't handle property matters, but you never know what scammer...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: If you ever want to look up the specialties or qualification dates of the solicitor you are thinking of using, there is usually that information on the firm's local Law Society website. For example they still linked to the now very defunct Google+ platform and many of the li...


Lindsays Solicitors: However we thought it could be very helpful to take you through a few of the reasons we chose to work with them. Why people fall so easy for this we'll try and put together an article on later. A couple of years ago we ran a poll and (as we actually expected from our own e...


Aspire Licensing: Other benefits of working in such a specific section of law include building up a huge amount connections and expertise with the various organisations themselves around the country. But that's what you'd expect from a firm that deals day in day out with a single area...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: Perhaps there's more to it however none of the articles we've read have suggested such. class="infoquote "Our team of Solicitors are dedicated to providing the best service to clients by catering to each and every client individually and specifically.< div> This...


Reid Black Solicitors: Whilst not actually based in England Wales, Reid Black will inevitably deal with a lot of other law firms, insurers and businesses in that area. Alongside Criminal Injuries, Untraced Drivers and Medical Negligence matters - Military Claims can take a long time, be less ...


Howe + Co Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 414386 howe-co" check out the pages for this firm< a> you can see contact details, confirmed areas of practice, specialist accreditations, staff details, and more. And by tiny, we mean absolutely unreadable. class="i...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Some are not Direct Access qualified and whilst they will talk to you about your case - they will then tell you of local solicitors you need to hire first in order for them to then hire that barrister to deal with your case. We tried entering all the information it asked for...


Levins Solicitors: To quote the LBC site: class="infoquote "... Currently www.levinslaw.com is owned by someone else. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside young blood eager to prove themselves. They provide a huge amount of data user-side for consumers and businesses. If you https: ...


Aconveyancing Ltd: Certainly the firm's expertise has been called upon by several news outlets for comment on various issues facing buyers sellers and the property industry in general. None of that seemed to apply to Aconveyancing's reviews. Take Aconveyancing up on their offer: ...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: However there is a firm using www.injurysolicitor.co.uk - so just keep aware when typing. They do not mean the same thing. So whilst some firms promise no win, no fee they may take a cut of your compensation at the end of a case. It's probably a good idea to boo...


RD Costings: Then after you've had the initial interview, have gone all the way down to their office, and are ready to sign on the dotted line for them to proceed - that's when the small print comes out about them taking 25% of your compensation if they win. However this is actually a v...


MGBe Legal: What about prior clients? The legal industry is not the same as other such as retail when it comes to public reviews. So are MGBe Legal any good? Well as we've added them to our referral network clearly we've already done the background leg work and decided we thi...


McEwan Fraser Legal: If anyone emails or phones you about payments or bank details - do not respond. You would think these days that even 'stuffy', 'living-in-the-past', 'antiquated' (three words we've seen used numerous times by reviewers on the matter) people like solicitors could get their he...


Fieldfisher LLP: Such firms we often say can lose that personal touch and reduce complaints from unhappy clients to mere collateral damage, rather than a serious blot on their reputation. A quick note on navigation as always. For others, they like to see newspaper snippets about the fir...


APS Legal & Associates: But will writing is actually a far less regulated industry than you might think . Hopefully we'll get an article about it out soon and we'll insert a link here to help. Of course, the positive reviews continue across the third party review sites such as Google, Yelp, Y...


Linkilaw Solicitors: There are quite a few such standout phrases across the site, including: class="infoquote "We embrace what the legal industry has traditionally resisted – transparency, efficiency, innovation and disruption."< div> Which is what we have tried to say before about t...


NV Legal Ltd: As all these extra case titles follow that format. NV Legal are with The Law Society of England & Wales which actually has one of the best society websites we've seen . A very basic example, but hopefully illustrates that whether a firm offers 100% compensation or not ...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: class="infoquote "Your problems are our business. the domains www.simonsrodkin.co.uk and the dot com versions were not owned by anyone. This is important because some firms will use less-than-transparent (to put it mildly) wording to describe their experience when try...


DFA Law LLP: In any industry, not just for law. Luckily there are a lot more resources online to help choose a law firm than is probably known to most people. For example 7 staff members each with 3 years experience can be written as 'over 20 years of combined experience'. Th...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: For example, we saw a negative review of a Divorce specialist for refusing to take on someone's Personal Injury case. Put it all together and you can get a much better picture of how well established and how strong a firm and the team within it are. Some are certainly more...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: A mix of older, wiser 'mentors' along with the hungrier, younger generation is always a good idea for any firm . For example, the last firm we reviewed had a lot of negative comments about how clients were constantly passed over to secretaries and junior staff rather ...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: As mentioned earlier, there are plenty of independent review boards to check such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp, etc. class="infoquote "Exceptional Customer Care to accomplish the best results"< div> All companies have sales-pitch language on their websi...


Allsop Durn Solicitors: They list standard rates and some examples based on various case types. really.) So always put the star ratings into context by reading the comments that go with. If you click the link to view details about the solicitors at the firm, you'll see there is certainly a ...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: Also, they may be registered with a far more local niche Law Society rather than one of the larger organisations. Another type of scam going round right now is https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 jul 18 homebuyer-loses-300000-to-fraudsters-but-gets-it-back-after-we...


Apprise Legal Services: When we tried typical variants such as www.appriselegal.co.uk or www.appriselegalservices.com, again nothing showed up. There aren't nearly as many security concerns with a Wills & Probate specialist firm than with those that specialise in other matters such as Property (jus...


Aina Khan Law Ltd: While looking around for information about this firm you may see references to both Aina Khan Solicitors and Aina Khan Law Ltd. You confidently and quickly traced his hidden assets" "When I transferred my case to you from other lawyers, I had lost all hope of seeing my ...


Taborns Legal Business: Unfortunately, despite the firm having been running for some years now - there weren't any public reviews we could find on the regular review boards. The price you might pay for a simple thing such as a business contract to be drawn up might be five times more with a l...
