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: But it's really not a negative sign if a law firm you're looking up has few or even zero online comments about them. A quick note on navigation. Some firms will give you 15 mins, some may charge a reduced fee for an initial consultation, and some may offer you a good h...


Mckie Legal: We have seen losing sides leave negative reviews about the winning side's law firm. For example: class="infoquote "or if you prefer simply an out of hours appointment simply fill in the contact form"< div> This snippet from the Mckie Legal contact page might be ea...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: There are no 200-year-old solicitors sitting behind desks at these anciently established firms imparting guru knowledge to the rest of the staff. But it's not. You can get a 1-year-qualified solicitors handling your case at a 200-year-old firm. It's not as though any would s...


Argue & Co Legal: That brings us back to the tie-breaker we mentioned before and why we always recommend calling the firm to speak to someone. class="infoquote "took the time to talk me through all the detail and legal jargon" "always gave me great advice when needing guidance on...


Springle & Co Solicitors:
At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without leaving a will . As the percentage of people writing a will has increased in recent decades, the idea of really thinking about what happens after you're gone has become more acceptable. class="inf...

BLZ Solicitors: On https: blzsolicitors.co.uk meet-the-team " the BLZ staff page< a> it initially looks as though they are doing the same. A switch of sides from a solicitor is not something to be taken lightly and should really mark as a big plus when comparing services. No reall...


Hawkridge & Company: Sometimes over something as simple as a couple of offical looking emails telling them to pay their huge house deposit into a different bank account. Hawkridge & Co on the other hand have big clear logos at the bottom of their page showing Lexcel Accreditation, the S...


Pacific Law: However the risks are minimal as the majority of scams involved the legal industry https: www.falmouthpacket.co.uk news 18674736.cornwall-property-sale-fraudsters-scam-14-000-penryn " focus around the property market< a> and the huge deposits people end up accidentally pa...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: Plus alternative legal assistance such as barristers through the new Direct Access scheme. The fact ABS is so rare in this regard , is quite odd considering that other than English, https: www.theguardian.com uk 2013 jan 30 polish-becomes-englands-second-language" Polish...


Stenfield Solicitors: Sometimes it has taken only a single email from a scammer to convince people to pay their house deposits into a completely fraudulent bank account. We've seen a law firm with a five star review for their pet-friendly cafe. Of course even in these days of 'modern' lega...


Khan Law: They have the obligatory testimonials on their website. However, please note that when checking reviews of any firm you absolutely must read the comments rather than relying on star ratings. People have lost £millions over the past decade

DV Solicitors: The idea being that people imagine a 200 year old amount of experience within a firm simply because their branding has existed for that long. If you've used our site before or read through any of our articles, you may have noticed that we're not a regular directory just cram...


Richmond Legal Ltd: That's plenty of time to have gotten to grips with the chosen areas of law. A last word from the company's site: class="infoquote "Our litigation team has the wealth of experience in dealing with all types of litigation matters, whether these are civil or commercial"< ...

Trust Inheritance Ltd: Words like 'modern', 'fresh', and 'friendly' appear practically everywhere making them meaningless as a result. Obviously we sound very pro-this-company and this could come across as bias. Rather than simply only doing the one case types, specialists in Estate matters w...


Bilkus & Boyle: Fortunately there are resources online to help you distinguish between them a little better and hopefully make the decision easier. Whilst the firm's name is unique there are obviously quite a few possible typos. This could be a national one, county based, or city wide for...


Catteralls Solicitors: At the moment nearly every search variant we tried such as 'cateralls solicitors' or 'catterals solicitors' still brought up the correct firm. A quick note on navigation as we've seen a few common errors popping up in the site search now that Catteralls have been...


Penerley Lawyers: But at the moment, Google is listing their hours as closed all weekend. You don't actually have to be a qualified solicitor to sell someone some employee contract templates or provide advice on setting up your small business. class="infoquote "At Penerley we are commi...


The Search Bureau: This includes Local Authority Searches, Drainage and Water, Flood, Land Registry, Due Dilligence (Lawyer Checker), Utilities, and more. We saw a few other related names including Premier Searches Limited and Conveyancing Compare, but they all have their own sites. Whilst the...


Education Law Service Ltd: In the past this usually only applied to cases that would be run on a no win, no fee basis anyway such as Personal Injury matters. The official website we link to above is www.educationlawservice.com and www.educationlawservice.co.uk will redirect you there. However if you t...


Pump Court Chambers: It's not that they are a small firm either. Now whenever there are various court matters where you will need a barrister - you can usually hire one yourself directly. class="infoquote "Chambers are groups of barristers and tend to comprise between 20 and 60 barri...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: When it comes to personal injury it seems that many solicitors are just pushing clients through, taking a cut of the compensation cheque, and that's it. However with Mason Bullock Solicitors we were actually very eager to get them on to the network from the start. How...


Lindsays Solicitors: That last sentence was obviously written with a very cynical tone. consistently exceeds everything I ask of him"< div> The majority of reviews were very positive indeed. Considering the size and scope of the firm though, you probably don't need much introduction to Li...


Aspire Licensing: We promote the same sort of alternative help in other areas of law as well. 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. However ev...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: For example, many do not state which awards have been won. The main web address we link to above is www.otssolicitors.co.uk and currently www.otssolicitors.com does not redirect or have an alternate site. We check the usual spots most people visit such as Google, Trustpilot,...


Reid Black Solicitors: But for now, if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 508489 reid-black-solicitors-limited" take a look at the page< a> for this firm on The Law Society of England & Wales' website you'll see contact details, areas of practice , links to staff information, quali...


Howe + Co Solicitors: A wide range of very seasoned, experienced practitioners alongside plenty of young blood to keep things fresh and moving forward. A quick note on navigation as was mentioned before - there are other legal companies with Howe in the name. The majority of lawyers and la...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: When it comes to individuals rather than large 100+ staffed firms handling your case, we absolutely think the solicitor barrister should stick to a more niche area of law. We tried entering all the information it asked for and then different bits and pieces. This is not alwa...


Levins Solicitors: They provide a huge amount of data user-side for consumers and businesses. We've worked with Levins Solicitors for several years now so obviously we have a very positive opinion of them as a firm. We're sad to say that even our own local law society (The Law Society of Sco...


Aconveyancing Ltd: For example this article from https: www.standard.co.uk homesandproperty property-news stamp-duty-holiday-deadline-extension-rish-sunak-a140746.html" The Evening Standard< a> on stamp duty during the lengthy lockdown and the pressure currently on conveyancing firms in suc...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: So don't discuss bank details or payments via email, and if someone phones you up saying they are from the firm you are using feel free to hang up and call back on the official number you know already works. class="infoquote "With almost 10 years' of experience in pers...


RD Costings: 100% compensation guaranteed means there are no fees if your case wins. (Yes, we have experience in this area. A whiplash claim against an insurer where the third party has already admitted fault is pretty much a slam dunk. However, whilst we would normally issue warnin...


MGBe Legal: They tend to focus on property law firms https: www.cifas.org.uk insight fraud-risk-focus-blog buying-a-property-dont-get-duped-out-of-your-deposit" trying to get clients to provide deposits< a> to fraudulent bank accounts. After us praising The Law Society of England & ...


McEwan Fraser Legal: Plus, the generic term 'legal' which can often cause confusion when part of a solicitor's name is actually a solid part of their branding. But you'd be wrong. The number of you doing so was in single digits. It's certainly something to bear in mind when checking out alterna...


Fieldfisher LLP: as well as having changed from Field Fisher & Co to Field Fisher and then finally Fieldfisher. We therefore think there may be some confusion with the firm's name when people are searching to leave reviews. class="infoquote "We are renowned for our expertise in h...


APS Legal & Associates: We could email you from an @amazon.co.uk address right now saying your payments have failed. class="infoquote "APS Legal and Associates are one of the UK’s largest and most reputable will writing and estate planning companies."< div> Most websites make claims lik...


Linkilaw Solicitors: The solicitors themselves also get scammed into paying out to the wrong people. That's why people use now whether researching a product they want to buy or a company they want to use. Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is ac...


NV Legal Ltd: To ensure there are no fees at all whether you win or lose, a firm has to promise you both of these 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' statements. However if your case wins the law firm may take a commission success fee of up to 25% of your compensation. They're mostly...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: class="infoquote "Your problems are our business. The address could also lead to some of the usual typos we see with hyphenated URls or those that don't use the firm's name in them - e.g. But why? class="infoquote "We are known for our strength in litigation wo...


DFA Law LLP: If you've been through quite a few solicitor's websites already you'll have noticed that their Blog News section is usually just half a dozen extra sales-pitch articles. There is a lot to find between-the-lines in the wording firms use on their website too. So be careful, an...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: The official site we link to is www.ianmallon.com with www.ianmallon.co.uk not currently showing anything. When checking out review boards though, we always suggest you read comments rather than just look at star ratings. That's great, and more firms should follow their se...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: A quick bit about navigation. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 594070 tsabi-ltd" check out the page for this firm< a> you'll see a list of solicitors across their two offices and their qualifying dates. In fact we saw at least two pages worth o...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: But as there are always plenty of forums for clients to express their opinions, we try to help by offering extra information, links and perspective on each law firm. For example, Asda do not 'specialise' in Cereal, Milk, Chocolate, Underwear, Toys and Bottled Water. ...


Allsop Durn Solicitors: Cliches such as 'professional yet friendly', 'traditional yet modern' and 'swift but not rushed' litter the pages. Anything about bank details or payments would never be discussed in an email anyway by a reputable firm. The one we always recommend is local Law Societies. We ...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: All staff are very helpful and patient." "MTA Personal Injury was outstanding ... Usually around 25%. (That's actually a really depressing statistic but we'll leave that discussion for another day.) So aside from the negative side-effects of the cold-calling scam detail...


Apprise Legal Services: That way you are more likely to find something that appeals to your specific needs and budget. Thankfully these days there are a large number of indepedent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp and so on. But you never know what might happen next so it's a...


Aina Khan Law Ltd: 5,000+ cases. 25+ years’ expertise. Again, www.ainakhan.co.uk was not in use. Beyond that though, they even cover a range of case types relating to international issues which can be unbelievably complex. While looking around for information about this firm you may see refere...


Taborns Legal Business: Taborns is therefore much more of a business legal solutions provider than just a case handler . Hopefully after reading this it's a little clearer why we added this particular firm to our network despite the lack of the usual information we tend to rely on in order to...
