PCS Legal Ltd: It's a fraught industry for reviews. It introduces a regulatory name many may not be familiar with . If you look up the average star ratings for the top 10 property firms in the UK you will find most of them end up with that sort of number. We are a firm of Property Lawyers...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: But here is a explanatory snippet from the https: www.citizensadvice.org.uk scotland law-and-courts legal-system-s settling-out-of-court using-alternative-dispute-resolution-to-solve-a-problem-s " Citizens Advice< a> website: class="infoquote "You might be able to ...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: The Law Society also lists the qualification dates of each solicitor within any firm. But you can end up with a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law firm or a 1-year novice solicitor from a 200-year old brand name. We see many legal practices touting 'establ...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: So what are people saying on the comment forums? class="infoquote "good communication, successful,resolution and great compassion" "handled professionally and efficiently" "kept me updated so I was in the know" "without hassle and explained everything perfectly"...


Solidaire Solicitors: They also provide the qualification dates of any solicitors. So a resource that gives you actual dates to compare is well worth keeping in mind. So if you don't get reviews displaying on the first attempted phrase, try something else. It's not always easy with Google...


Defank Solicitors: As you go through the hundreds of law firm websites available for legal services in the UK, you've probably noticed a lot use the same sort of wording, images, and make the same claims such as being the 'best' or 'leading' at various things. As of writing this, the firm show...

HCR Legal LLP: This above is a snippet from the https: www.medicalaccidentgroup.co.uk" Medical Accident Group< a> website. This doesn't seem to be just a gimmicky extra to target people. Both sites are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details in their contact form. Often yo...


Horsley Law: Both list that the firm trades under Horsley Law so it's the same company . Neither do any of the variants we tried such as www.horsleysolicitors.co.uk If you are going to look around for further information about the firm before making a decision, you'll notice that...

Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: However, if you already know there might be legal issues surrounding your sale such as a boundary dispute or if the sellers are getting divorced - then the extra legal expertise a solicitor brings could be necessary. Did you know that 'solicitors' and 'lawyers' are not the s...

Amy King Legal: It's always seen as if you have to make the choice between a) using a large firm with greater resources but you're just another case number, or b) using a smaller firm where each client is probably more important but they have less resources. Many firms will display accredit...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: In these days of options and everyone wanting things instantly on their own schedule - it may seem odd to hear that many law firms have not changed their opening hours at all. Heritage Park is listed on the other source we recommend, the website of the https: www.barstanda...

WYM Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "Getting a quote takes seconds and will give all the financial costings applicable to your purchase."< div> A quick note on navigation. and an unusual three letter start - we've seen plenty of typos in our search function. If you https: solici...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: That's because hardly anyone is ever happy with how long it takes and there are always problems (most of which are outside the solicitor's control but still they get the blame). Remember that ampersands can't be used in web addresses so www.thomas&thomassolicitors.co.uk will...


Wolf Law Solicitors: Wolf Law don't make any such claims which is a good sign to start off with. We've seen many firms with negative reviews from buyers telling them to 'hurry up' their selling client. That seems very unfair to us. Wolf Law show a mix of abilities with solicitor Nadeem A...


SG Murphy Solicitors: In the last piece we wrote the firm had multiple complaints about feeling fobbed off onto junior staff. If you want to email the NI's Law Society and point that out to them - maybe we can all get them to catch up! This means the first point of call for people when chec...


Walker Foster Solicitors: We're bombarded with marketing at every turn. class="infoquote "We aim to provide valued and reliable legal services to generations both now and in the future."< div> This statement, also from their website, sounds great. Far too many people have https: www.ex...

Girlings Solicitors LLP: Obviously the first point of call for most people are the review boards such as Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, etc. Some firms have testimonials on their websites but we tend not to cover them as according to our poll a few years back - only 8% of you trust company prov...


UVS Law: However you need to be very careful when it comes to legal services as not only are there stories about people https: www.unlockthelaw.co.uk News fake-lawyers-how-do-i-know-my-solicitor-is-real 1308421615.html" pretending to be a lawyer< a> when they are not, there are al...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: Have you ever seen a legal practice saying they are outdated, lacking transparency, and unapproachable? Of course not. All firms will say they have these qualities. The snippets above are from such independent boards and are mainly positive . But the claims are not unique. ...

Frei Solicitors: So a lack of reviews is not a negative sign when it comes to companies that deal in legal matters. This is where being a niche firm can sometimes cause an issue. The amount of legal work required to buy, sell and just own a house is huge. This can be an entire firm that sp...


Drummond Miller LLP: In other words, they don't just leave a review for their own solicitor but for the solicitor of the other buyer seller's solicitor too. The official website follows the firm's name so www.drummondmiller.co.uk as the firm is not 'Drummond & Miller' as we've seen some people s...
