Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors have been on the network for a while now and we wanted to make a few points about researching firms in general. While people are comfortable going online to say whether they like a pizza restaurant or not - they are less inclined to publicly dis...
Guardian Law: It raises the point that if every firm says they are 'experienced' (and no firm would admit to being 'inexperienced') then how can you know which one is better than the other? Luckily for the English and Welsh consumers seeking legal help, there is an excellent resou...
Backhouse Solicitors: We want to change that."< div> Rather than disecting every word on the firm's site like we do, most consumers immediately turn to third party review boards when they want to research a firm. So when you see offers like this, don't just pass it over as something innocuo...
WH Solicitors: But typically the fraudsters targeting law firm clients are only after property matters due to the huge deposits they manage to trick people into paying into the wrong account. Just remember to read all comments and not rely on average star ratings. (Note that www.whlaw.co.u...
Two Harcourt Buildings: 2HB clearly has made no such misleading attempt with that almost slap-in-the-face attention grabbing statement. If you search the usual comment boards such as Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook there may only be a handful of reviews or ratings and they will always be about th...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Sadly, this honest description of theirs is actually much rarer than you might think!
class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on providing a professional, personal service in a way that suits our clients."< div>
Has this level of expertise and close-knit staff tra...
Bridge McFarland LLP: If it was an award for best logo design, then that doesn't really help you as a potential client.
There is also a huge difference between a firm that claims to have 40 years of experience and 40 years of experience 'within the firm' or 40 years of 'combined experien...
Woodstock Legal Services: In any industry there are obviously those firms that thrive on publicity and who like seeing their logo everywhere.
class="infoquote "Our lawyers are highly skilled specialists in their areas. However on this occasion we have because they are not just hand-picked and ...
Stephanie Heijdra: That's because reviews left underneath the chamber's name will be about one specific lawyer within it.
class="infoquote "Direct access is a scheme which qualifies barristers to take instructions directly from a client, enabling you to instruct a barrister without fir...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Most of the variants we tried brought up the correct site in the top search results spot but many brought up adverts for other firms. This is a very good example of why.
class="infoquote "We are a modern and progressive law firm, and operate a new legal services busin...
Thaxted Legal Ltd: That's always something to watch out for especially with multi-office firms or firms with non-unique names. There are also several other Ltd companies with Thaxted in the name so just pay close attention when looking up things like reviews. But if you see a firm of 1 or 2 so...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: But hopefully from the examples and resources quoted in the article below, you'll see why they have been added to our network. The first is the expertise of the staff, and more importantly - their experience.
The best resource we've found is The Law Society of Engla...
Brown and Co Solicitors: The full official website is www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk with www.brownandcosolicitors.com redirecting you there.
A quick note on navigation due to the number of firms out there with 'brown' in the name.
If a firm states they have a certain number of years' ...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Normally you have to dig through several 'Excellent! Would recommend!' quotes to get to something useful. If we do add a general law practice in an area though, we try to find one that looks the most 'solid'.
class="infoquote "Our legal service team have extensive exp...
Hill House Chambers: When this is true they will hire a Barrister on your behalf. There are accountants that can help with tax law matters, budget will writing firms, paralegal services, and so on. But it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the scam of ' https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance p...
Stowe Family Law:
At the time of writing the full list of office locations listed on the firm's website are: Beverley, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Ilkley, Leeds, Malton, Sheffield, Wetherby, York, Newcastle, Altrincham, Chester, Crewe, Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Stockport, Stockton H...
Rose Fendlen Law: If a legal practice https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 15402 lrose-law-limited" is registered with them< a> you can see all known trading names, contact details, alternative office addresses, staff qualifications specialties, and so on. One last point:
clas...
Bell Lax Solicitors: The English Welsh law society provides a wealth of user-side data including all trading names of a firm, all office locations, any languages spoken by staff, plus the expertise and qualification dates of registered solicitors. The second is about how much experience the a...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: Some go really overboard trying to claim ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1771'. However we've recently discovered that case studies on a law firm's website go down very well with potential clients too. These can be city, county, or country based. That means ...
The Legal Practice Ltd:
This is because most people buying selling a house will always feel that the process should have gone much, much faster and been far, far less complicated. This seems to be an actual goal or at least a point of pride for the firm because we also saw this statement on t...
Youngs Solicitors: The https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 563652 young-and-co-solicitors-limited" pages about this firm< a> are quite mixed up with every office being called Young & Co Solicitors but with contact details and web addresses of alternative brandings mixed...
Lefevres Law: There are lots of other little bits and pieces around the web that most regular consumers may not notice. The official website we link to is www.lefevres.law which is a fairly new tld.
For example, Lefevres are listed in the Legal Aid board database. The age of the fir...
David Stinson & Co: But a lower number of reviews or even zero is something you will see for most law firms. But note that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation guarantee' are not the same thing. Often you will be asked to sign an 'After The Event' insurance document which insures the against...
Cooks Solicitors: No really, firms claiming they are three hundred years old as if that gives them some sort of bonus experience above other firms really winds us up. When it comes to law firms though, we absolutely recommend that you read through the reviews and ignore any overall average st...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd:
class="infoquote "We have specialist lawyers, many of whom are recognised as leaders in their respective fields and also share our unique focus on quality service and putting our clients first."< div>
Practically every law firm makes a claim about have the best, ...
My Law Matters: Because whilst many negative comments can be totally unhelpful (e.g. Because quite often a low star rating is not due to ratings from genuine customer reviews like you'd expect. It can therefore be a good idea not to type important web addresses into the browser bar incas...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: You can obtain a 40-year guru lawyer from a 1-year old firm.
Unfortunately, the Law Society for Scotland's website is nowhere near as good as it's English Welsh counterpart when it comes to user side data. The Law Society of England & Wales' website is an excellent re...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: To start off we should try to clarify that 'QualitySolicitors' is not an actual law firm with 100 locations. All cards on the table - we like Burton & Co . Each Saturday we offer a drop in service where you can come in and meet our legal experts and learn more about our ser...
OneLaw Chambers:
class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS will respond to your calls and e-mails promptly."< div>
A quick note on navigation to ensure you get through to and always revisit the correct firm.
Personally, we think people leaving negative reviews for those reasons com...
Beers LLP:
Unfortunately that needed to be said because there isn't much negative about Beers LLP for us to focus on.
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 inn...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There are firms and even individual solicitors that cover a wide range of case types, sort of 'jack-of-all-trades' solicitors. Many people assume that every litigation firm or compensation claim advertising lawyer will take on such cases - but they simply don't. There are se...
Simper Law Ltd: There are others as well in between those dates providing a good mix of seasoned experience alongside fresh legs and ideas. So what are previous clients saying about the firm? The snippets above are from testimonials posted on the firm's own website. That means the offic...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Normally you will be asked to sign an insurance document to cover the costs of your case. Currently neither www.rmsolicitors.co.uk or www.reynoldsmacdonald.co.uk seems to be owned by the firm. Apparently people really are sending tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters...
ULA Solicitors Ltd:
We've always been a fan of case studies but we've been working in the industry for over 20 years now.
class="infoquote "We provide out-of-hours assistance to those who are arrested and require urgent support."< div>
They have https: www.ulasolicitors.com o...
Taylor Price Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our areas of litigation expertise include contract disputes, professional negligence claims, debt recovery, intellectual property, defamation, partnership disputes, landlord and tenant disputes, insolvency and bankruptcy, and personal injury litigatio...
Michael Leighton Jones: For some reason, those clients go right ahead and send tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters without checking with the solicitor if that email was genuine. So hopefully in this article we'll be able to point out some differences you can look for between the lines a...
Milners Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation. To us it seems quite irrelevant as you could get a 1-year-qualified newbie solicitor at a 200-year-old firm or a forty-year-guru lawyer from a 1-year-old firm. Some have a bit more background about their work life. A good mix of wise old hea...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: You are only getting what you pay for. Like most people though, we're more interested in any negative comments to see if there is a common theme to be aware of - such as poor communication, price switching, or clients being fobbed off to junior staff once signed up.
...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: We've been reviewing law firms for over twenty years and have never seen a firm with such a wide range of experience amongst the lawyers within. There were a couple of negative ratings, but unfortunately the reviewers left absolutely no comments for us to know what generat...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd:
class="infoquote "In the fast changing, increasingly complex and highly politicised area of Immigration Law ..."< div>
Again as a new firm who have chosen to handle immigration issues we would therefore expect Trojan's lawyers to be very diligent and kept up to da...
CEL Solicitors: The article we wrote yesterday was about a firm that had a negative review because the person felt the firm's office was a little 'hard to find'.
If you've read any of our other articles about law firms in the UK, you may have noticed that we consistently try to hammer...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents:
The firm does cover Wills, Probate and Power of Attorney matters as well. Obviously there will be people trying a wide variety of close-but-not-quite attempts such as fultons-solicitors or fultonssolicitors. Many commenters provide helpful insights into what was good a...
HooperHyde: We currently showcase the regular high-street-style solicitors people have come to expect, as well as some alternative services that act as an in-house legal team of their own. This, and the odd search results, shouldn't be a huge worry though as most scammers tend to target...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: Over the past few years alone https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 feb 29 bank-scam-solicitors-email-hacked" people have lost millions to scammers< a> over property matters when buying or selling a house. But the name is so unique that if you type 'anthony hodari' into a...
Fair Result Ltd:
Enquiring about and researching what avenues are available should be anyone's first point of call before actually starting to weigh up which firm out of those options to use. Not every legal matter requires a full-on solicitor. It sounds absurd that people are falling...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: No win, no fee just means that there will be no fees if your case loses. That's not something we are so keen on. The official site we link to above is www.dylannair.com however www.dylannair.co.uk does not seem to be currently owned by anyone.
On this occasion the fac...
Mckie Legal: The main address is in Penrith but they've recently opened a local office in St Helens according to a recent Legal Futures article. We like to see firm's bragging about being a stalwart local fixture. The first means no fees if your case loses.
That may sound like a v...
