EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "We thrive on repeat business as well as recommendations from existing and potential future clients. 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 nee...


NJS Law Ltd: Keeping such things in mind is always important no matter which firm you use. In our opinion, 'established' or 'founding' dates are useless in determining which firm is best for you and should be ignored. Seasoned heads but with fresh eyes , so to speak. The majority ...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: As for years of experience, there is often a big difference between any firm saying they have "40 years experience" versus "40 years of combined experience" or "40 years of experience within the firm". Never discuss payments via email. The majority are positive whi...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: Lots of people make mistakes leaving reviews so the best thing to do is look for any positive or negative 'themes' amongst the actual written feedback left by people. Hopefully if you've been on our site for even a short while it should be clear we are not a 'law firm direct...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: This is because the majority of people involved in a property transaction experience problems, delays, and general misery. On that topic we should cover some notes about navigation. compared to testimonials provided by the company themselves. So what can you do? ...

Foster & Coleman Ltd: There are several similarly named firms such as 'foster & foster' and 'foster law' that popped up while we were searching. that they provide poor advice and terrible representation) it's not a statement that really helps. The majority of scams the past several years have all...


Wildcat Law Ltd: They have a very useful user side offering of data regarding a firm's contact details, staff, languages spoken, and areas of law covered. Sound results."< div> Most companies use words such as modern, practical, friendly, professional, experienced, etc in their website...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: If a firm has only 1-2 solicitors but handles every case type under the sun - then it's fair to assume they are not as experienced or up to date as a firm with several solicitors each focusing on one or two areas of law. So what are the independent forums saying? cla...


A City Law Firm Ltd: In fact, just a couple of years ago almost a quarter of firms on our own network were not https secure. Their organisation provides an excellent range of user side data which is sadly not mirrored by their Scottish or Irish counterparts. Some people have https: todaysconve...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: Unfortunately even the best firm out there will end up with complaints about delays in property sales. Also while the firm's branding uses an ampersand, such characters https: uniregistry.com blog post the-symbols-of-brand-domain-confusion" don't exist< a> in web addresse...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: However we see such claims as basic marketing ploys. If you need to check up on any firm you can usually do so through their local Law Society. Unfortunately, though, there are far fewer reviews about law firms than other industries. We did notice negative reviews for thi...


Guardian Law: However when we searched for 'guardian law' online we were returned a few alternative suggestions in the top slots including the legal section of the Guardian Newspaper. Almost obsessed. So make sure you are always on the correct site and never discuss payment details via e...


Backhouse Solicitors: So the fact Backhouse have only mentioned this statement tucked away on a separate section of the site is something we literally nod our heads in approval at. i.e. Because if you see a rival firm with only 5 reviews that's actually 'normal'. So just bear this in mind when c...

WH Solicitors: The firm's official website is www.whsolicitors.co.uk but www.whsolicitors.com is for a completely different firm. Just remember to read all comments and not rely on average star ratings. It's one of those ones that make us use tired out sayings such as 'does what it says o...


Two Harcourt Buildings: class="infoquote "Your case will be reviewed by a qualified Direct Access barrister within 48 working hours of the receipt of all relevant information."< div> We obviously think very highly of Two Harcourt Buildings chambers as we've recommended them across o...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: That's well over 50 years between just the two of them. The question of course is whether this can result in a firm being better when it comes to handling clients and cases or if it has no effect at all. They all seem to be relating to the same firm but this i...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Make sure you're on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. That's a good mix of seasoned heads with fresh eyes . This is hugely important because the firm deals with property matters which have been https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protec...


Woodstock Legal Services: So which claims and imagery should you look for? class="infoquote "our lawyers are recognised nationally for their wealth of specialist expertise and knowledge"< div> For people in England and Wales they are lucky to have The Law Society there provide a huge amoun...


Stephanie Heijdra: The site is https secure for submitting your personal info. We think that lends far more weight to the review so have decided to include such snippets this time. She also runs the Winvolved Legal Consultancy using www.winvolvedlegal.co.uk Her name is very unique so you sho...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Today's is going to discuss Summerfield Browne Solicitors as they have an alternate setup which they've run for many years but which is now becoming more popular since Covid. Summerfield Browne are therefore a prime match of what we need on our own law network. Sounds li...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: That's always something to watch out for especially with multi-office firms or firms with non-unique names. But we think it's even more important for Immigration because the laws involved are constantly changing and can often involve the laws of various other countries as ...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: So if things have gone bad, it hasn't affected their outward image. class="infoquote "We are a multi-disciplined law practice providing high quality, cost effective legal services to individuals whatever the legal issue."< div> Bringing back the point about esta...


Brown and Co Solicitors: So what are people saying about the firm on the independent boards: class="infoquote "answer phonecalls and reply emails almost immediately and even on weekends" "never had to call him as he always kept me updated via email or text" "license was granted on that ve...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: and recommendations"< div> A quick note on navigation as the firm uses a shortened version for the web address. A team of seasoned heads but with fresh legs is surely the best grouping you could hope for in an industry that is also struggling to balance between the o...


Hill House Chambers: class="infoquote "Barristers Mohsin Aslam was very professional too when he articulated case" "Spencer's friendly demeanour and flexibility ensures the right barrister is offered even at short notice" "Spencer Payne was very professional in how he handled the con...


Stowe Family Law: Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your view, some review boards https: www.google.com search?q=stowe+vamily+law+beverley&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=stowe+vamily+law+beverley&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i13i175i199.6641j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x4878c74319a85dd...


Rose Fendlen Law: Many firms use the same sales language, offer similar services, make similar promises, and even use similar images on their websites of people looking sternly at pieces of paper or shaking hands smiling. Sadly Google was showing adverts at the top for some of our searches so...


Bell Lax Solicitors: That's a good mix of ages, experience, and genders. But the basic checks we use when judging a firm for inclusion in our database can easily be used by potential clients as well to filter out non-suitable firms much quicker. Surely an enviable staff selection for any firm t...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: So despite there being a long list of types of injuries, covering them all still counts as a specialised area of law. It's a distinction we feel people should certainly be aware of in order to compare firms more effectively. That means each will only be covered very briefly,...


The Legal Practice Ltd: Maintaining such high ratings whilst working in that industry is pretty impressive . . Many of the articles we write will focus on an individual law office in order to make comparisons, clarifications, and provide tips on how to research any common queries that come up dur...


Youngs Solicitors: That's been a huge change in the industry that most firms haven embraced, and we encourage every law firm to provide such to this new Instagram Facebook-loving generation. The situation is almost as bad as trying to find and NHS dentist in this country. Practically eve...


Lefevres Law: But it certainly sounds impressive and from such a reputable, reliable source it's probably safe to assume it is so. (Their other locations being Glasgow and Edinburgh.) According to the Law Society of Scotland they are the same firm but for some reason the main Lefevres' ...


David Stinson & Co: They are therefore obviously going to be very positive and sadly they rarely contain much helpful information about what the actual good points of the firm are. However for smaller more simple cases such as a two week whiplash injury as a passenger in a car accident - we wou...


Cooks Solicitors: Unlike other services such as hairdressers, restaurants, or car washes - conveyance providers always end up getting at least some negative reviews from the opposite side in the transaction . She is very good at clearing jams in the conveyancing process."< div> We could...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: They provide a wealth of user side data including all alternate trading names, other office locations, languages spoken at the firm, case types covered, and qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. For example in Havant (near Portsmouth) they list a range...


My Law Matters: It's certainly something to bear in mind. Because quite often a low star rating is not due to ratings from genuine customer reviews like you'd expect. That can be a huge help because for some reason, law firms are quite obsessed with quoting founding dates. However there w...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: Making sure you're on the correct website to avoid phishing and only discussing payment arrangements over the phone through the official contact channels - is massively important. The claim following this one on the Frazer Coogan website is a little stronger though , statin...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: It's actually not even a sort of franchise either like people who open their own McDonalds restaurant. That's quite something unique to see. class="infoquote "We combine the service you expect from a national brand with the local knowledge you need from our experienc...


OneLaw Chambers: Scammers email property buying clients telling them the bank details for their deposit has changed and apparently thousands of people have simply sent the money to the fraudster's bank account without bothering to check with their solicitor first . Direct Access, or P...


Beers LLP: class="infoquote "Whilst we have maintained our core value of outstanding client service, the use of the most up to date technology enables us to deliver innovative and cost effective solutions to our clients whether they be local or national."< div> The site is ...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: If you see that sort of post alongside no stated company name, no logo, no web address, and no mention of https: www.fca.org.uk firms claims-management" their regulatory status< a> - then avoid them. But remember, the compensation in housing disrepair matters is an extra...


Simper Law Ltd: Last year we ran a poll asking people whether they paid attention to testimonials on company websites and only 8% of you said you did. That's a big reason to make sure you're on the correct site and bookmark places instead of accidentally typing the wrong web address into ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: there are plenty of other firms using those two initials. The one review we did see: class="infoquote "provided a really helpful and professional service to help me make a claim"< div> was obviously very positive . So when a firm lists several case types from wor...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: But what do the third party sites say customer feedback is like for this firm? class="infoquote "was very helpful and he did not allow the officer to ask me anything which could make me say anything wrong" "provided me with an excellent and experienced barrister" ...


Taylor Price Solicitors: One reviewer states - "Lovely foods, friendly staff". However some firms with long case lists can still absolutely be 'specialists' as long as there are individual lawyers within the firm focused on certain niche case types each. With so many possible keyboard slips whe...


Michael Leighton Jones: If you flick through each of the staff at MLJ you'll see some focus on Personal Injury, others on Property Matters, and others on things like Family Law. The majority are positive and most related to property matters. class="infoquote "Simply contact us to book...


Milners Solicitors: For each firm registered with this law society they display alternate trading titles, contact details for all offices, languages spoken, and (most importantly) the qualification dates and specialties of each solicitor within the firm. It's something certainly Personal Injury...
