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:

EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: There is also a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section that addresses common questions and concerns clients may have. The website also features profiles of the firm's lawyers , with detailed biographies and information about their areas of expertise. Their website, ...


NJS Law Ltd: That's not a criticism. Here you can get clear answers about the experience levels of a firm AND their specialist case types. One criminal lawyer specialist had a 1 star review for refusing to take on someone's divorce case. It obviously does not mean there is a 200 year old...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: You have to read the comments. Surely a desirable mix of fresh eyes with wise minds? (We can be poetic sometimes!) class="infoquote "easy to contact and responded to emails usually the same day" "super quick and kept a good communication through out the process" ...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: With extra emphasis on good speed during house sales purchases. Some of the largest conveyancing companies in the UK handling hundreds of transactions a month have star ratings in the 3s. Many of the things we do from a business vetting side might be useful to you from a con...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: Keep aware of which site you are on and never discuss payment details via email.. We are your trusted advisor."< div> If you've already been through a dozen law firm website's today, you'll maybe have noticed many of them use similar words such as 'modern', 'efficient'...

Foster & Coleman Ltd: But always be aware of the website you are entering your details into and never discuss payment details via email just in case.. Foster Coleman do have https: www.fosterandcoleman.com testimonials" a testimonials page< a> on their website with comments such as: cla...


Wildcat Law Ltd: All this is hugely important due to the number of scams targeting law firm clients. So such statements don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. However if you think about it no firm is ever going to claim to be the opposite - i.e. Today's article is ...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: Unfortunately there have been thousands of law firm clients targeted in recent years such as those who've ended up https: data.actionfraud.police.uk cms wp-content uploads 2022 03 2b.-Conveyancing_Leaflet.pdf" handing over their entire house deposit< a> to a fraudster's b...


A City Law Firm Ltd: Some firms may state they have '15 years combined experience' or '10 years experience within the firm' which might mean they have 5x staff each with only 3 years of experience. Plus with all the phishing scams still going on always make sure you're on the correc...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: So when you see a firm stating they are good with clients like the snippet above - feedback is sometimes the only precheck possible. Either way though, always make sure to read actual comments rather than rely on average star ratings. So what are the independent forums...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: There are still plenty of law firms charging people money before getting to sit down with an actual solicitor. The idea being that the older the firm, the more experienced it is. The age of the actual brand name over the door at that point seem quite irrelevant. Always reme...


Guardian Law: https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 471765 guardian-law-limited" For this firm< a> you'll see the two principal solicitors Claire Scanlan and Nichola Elenor qualified in 2003 and 2002 respectively. We've seen a law practice praised for its 'tasty new menu' and a di...


Backhouse Solicitors: Without devaluing their acheivement, we should point out why this is unusual. etc. Because if you see a rival firm with only 5 reviews that's actually 'normal'. You can get a 1-year newbie solicitor from a 200-year-old firm and a 40 year veteran lawyer from a 1-year-old la...

WH Solicitors: We cover locally, nationally and internationally."< div> The reason for this is that this firm focuses on one particular area. They are all very positive, mention Waleed by name and often discussed what the case was for. class="infoquote "Unfortunately immigr...


Two Harcourt Buildings: We've been working in this industry for over 20 years now and have seen a huge amount of progress and changes. 2HB clearly has made no such misleading attempt with that almost slap-in-the-face attention grabbing statement. So whilst The Direct Access scheme is a major, ...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: On this occasion it seems that MJV have not used jargon to hide anything. Tens of thousands of pounds have ended up in the pockets of fraudsters. That's well over 50 years between just the two of them. Such as: class="infoquote "We have around 50 years combine...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site. If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 621785 bridge-mcfarland-llp" the staff page< a> for th...


Woodstock Legal Services: class="infoquote "Our lawyers are highly skilled specialists in their areas. 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...


Stephanie Heijdra: As part of a chambers you'll find every barrister works quite individually anyway though. class="infoquote "Direct access is a scheme which qualifies barristers to take instructions directly from a client, enabling you to instruct a barrister without first going thro...


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. They provide far, far more than any of their rival organisations on the user side including offi...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: The absence of negative information isn't the best indicator of a positive choice. 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 well. There are always so...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: class="infoquote "always available when we had questions" "Fair priced and transparent in their dealings" "responsive and always kept me updated with the developments of the case"< div> The independent review boards were mainly positive comments like this...


Brown and Co Solicitors: The first is whether a firm is actually experienced and the other about firms which cover a range of case types rather than a single specialty. Does this translate into happy clients? For this we always turn to the public boards like https: www.google.com search?q=b...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Please remember to forgive law-related websites that use a lot of the same language or that make claims that practically every other law firm is making as well. Normally you have to dig through several 'Excellent! Would recommend!' quotes to get to something useful. an...


Hill House Chambers: Biggest things to watch for are emails about money, payments, or bank details as that should never happen . As Hill House Chambers puts it: class="infoquote "The Direct Access (or Public Access) scheme allows members of the public to instruct an authorised barrister d...


Stowe Family Law: Today's piece covers the website of Stowe Family Law where there is a fair mix of writing and images to scroll through even on the first page. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your view, some review boards https: www.google.com search?q=stowe+vamily+law+beverley&r...


Rose Fendlen Law: One last point: class="infoquote "Get in touch now For a free, no obligation consultation."< div> For general litigation matters we would never expect a law firm to charge you for the first consultation. So the information doesn't really help you spot a differ...


Bell Lax Solicitors: By that we mean most legal companies in the UK tend to use the same sort of sales language, highlight the same points, and make the same claims about their company that practically every other law practice does too. We've seen a solicitor with several five star reviews for...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: For this we'll be using the website of JPS Walker Solicitors as our example. More and more people are becoming aware of just how much of a difference a specialist can make to a case. This firm focuses on litigation matters so there are far less risks involved when se...


The Legal Practice Ltd: But some of the things we'll cover now will hopefully provide a little more insight into the general issues within the legal industry for people trying to check up on the firms they encounter. One of the largest conveyancing firms in the UK has a star rating of https: www....


Youngs Solicitors: At the time we checked, they were clickable images rather than live counters - so were slightly off the actual average ratings on each. class="infoquote "We believe in transparency and therefore list our fees on our website. It's quite a common company name really, so ...


Lefevres Law: That can make them sound a little more formal: class="infoquote "the best possible service is given and best possible result is achieved for the clients" "they have a fantastic ability to handle high value, complex claims" "one of the most thoroughly professi...


David Stinson & Co: For David Stinsons and Co they are all positive and look genuine . This can often be misleading because if the firm has 5 solicitors with just 4 years experience - that equals a total of 20 years. Something to bear in mind at least when evaluating which firm is best for you...


Cooks Solicitors: in a personal injury claim, professional and a top notch guy" "My solicitor was always polite and I think she deserves a lot of credit."< div> Those are some snippets from comments left on third party forums such as

Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. There were quite a few negative complaints about the company on the Google review pages. "swain and co havant reviews". class="infoquote "We have specialist lawyers, many of whom are re...


My Law Matters: Either way we would still recommend bookmarking the correct site because the firm deals with property which has become a huge target market for scams. But there are no negative implications we know of for firms having different brandings. So when you see statements lik...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: The most common typo we'd expect of www.frasercoogans.co.uk .com also does not seemed to be owned by the firm either. The official site we link to above is www.frazercoogans.co.uk but www.frazercoogans.com does not redirect you there. Unlike tech companies , food out...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: Jordans Solicitors became QualitySolicitors Jordans. Each Saturday we offer a drop in service where you can come in and meet our legal experts and learn more about our services."< div> A quick note on navigation. The official website for all QS firms is www.qualitysolic...


OneLaw Chambers: This has the obviously advantage of saving huge amounts of time, hassle, and money . Unlike other industries such as leisure or retail - law firms can end up with negative comments from their competitors, the losing side in a case, and even people who were told their case w...


Beers LLP: Make sure you know what site you're on and never discuss payments via email . . Again, a very good reason to read the comments fully first. The reason you need to be aware of potential issues is because there are lot of scams going around just now targeting case types wher...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: We've talked a lot before about 'specialist' law firms. To fix those missing floor boards. 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two very different offers. There are several good reasons for this, but the main one being that the majority of them simply take your det...


Simper Law Ltd: The firm name is Simper Law Ltd and most branding follows that style. However the case range quoted above is not actually as diverse as it looks. You'll also be shown the qualification dates and specific case expertise of each solicitor within the firm. For some reas...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: However if a single solicitor says they are a specialist in Family Law, Litigation, Criminal Law, and Conveyancing - that's when the term is not being used fairly. However the term is being used correctly in this instance. Normally this is done by simply emailing the clien...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: If you've read any of our other articles you'll have noticed that we often have to report on various issues or things to watch out for when researching or using any particular law firm. all came up with the same site. ULA Solicitors https: www.ulasolicitors.com news-and-ca...


Taylor Price Solicitors: For example, when most people are charged with a motoring offence they will immediately look for a 'specialist' firm . A prime example is amongst the Google reviews for Taylor Price's business. Another was a finalist for Best Professional in Business at the https: www.asi...


Michael Leighton Jones: What can you use? class="infoquote "With offices in Bargoed and Tredomen, Ystrad Mynach, near Caerphilly in South Wales, the firm has over 40 years experience in the legal sector"< div> One thing people are often wary of are boasts about various years of experie...


Milners Solicitors: People naturally write differently in response to these requests from the actual firm compared to how they write comments to their circle of friends. If they sound a little different or slightly more zealous than the reviews you typically see on third party boards such a Goo...
