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:

KRS Estate Planning Ltd: These days though, it's clear people want specialists for everything. "I" have a vast amount of experience. (Those are some of the more common complaints we see about law firms in general on the web.) class="infoquote "A very caring gentleman who took time out during ...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: When it comes to law firms it is always a good idea to read the actual comments anyway rather than just flick through the ratings. It's always been said to never ask a lady her age, but I hope the female staff of Branch Austin McCormick will forgive us posting their qu...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: Thanks to the Law Society database you can check independently whether the individual solicitor you're thinking of using is a specialist in a certain area of law or is trying to handle a huge number of case types instead. They provide a huge amount of user-side data about th...


CEL Solicitors: Many of which may not be the type of thing the regular consumer might have noticed when going through it. 'we are a large firm that really doesn't feel welcoming at all'. Even though those are both types of litigation case - the disparity between the number of firms willing ...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: For example, if a solicitor has a client who pulls out of a deal last minute, the person that got 'gazumped' may leave a negative review about the solicitor out of frustration. For all we know they called Fultons about a divorce case and was refused representation. (10x3=3...

HooperHyde: Hooper Hyde state each lawyer has at least 10 years' experience. The only legal services we've seen consistent reviews on are conveyancing firms because people always have plenty to say about how their house sale purchase went. Unfortunately that's not always easy when it co...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: Antony Hodari Solicitors are a very niche firm covering just one specific case type within the area of litigation - housing disrepair. . When it comes to legal firms we absolutely recommend reading reviews rather than flicking through star ratings alone. Antony Hodari hi...


Fair Result Ltd: So is Fair Result's claim just vague sales jargon? Well, no. Typically it's only cases such as litigation where firms may do considerable work upfront with an aim to getting paid near the end of the case instead. As mentioned before, we've been at this for over twenty...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "very responsive and helpful in every way" "I eventually pulled out of the purchase, but was not charged any extra, and fees were transparent" "were efficient and always answered our calls" "There were complications and what was gre...


Mckie Legal: class="infoquote "We have a strong emphasis on client care and providing a friendly and no jargon service keeping you fully updated on the case at all stages."< div> If you've already flicked through a bunch of other lawyer websites today, you'll have quickly noti...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: But https: www.jacobslaw.org about" Jacobs Law cover the important bits< a> only and even include direct contact information for every lawyer too. A good mix of seasoned and fresh, experienced and enthusiastic - and that can't possibly be a bad thing. However www.j...


Argue & Co Legal: It was only five years ago that a solicitor said to me 'that internet thing? no, we don't do that'. You can read an article here where we cover the 'why' on that one. The reason for covering that little information nugget about case titles was also to emphasise the poi...


Springle & Co Solicitors: How do you work out which firm might be best for you? Every solicitor's website will tell you they are the best firm for you. Ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional is important too. Law firms typically receive less reviews than ot...

BLZ Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. One thing we have frequently quoted as a dislike on law firm's websites is the new wave of them sharing likes, dislikes, hobbies and favourite colours. The firm's branding is BLZ Solicitors and they come up for searches for that name no ...


Hawkridge & Company: class="infoquote "We are a specialist legal firm providing a range of services in the Medway town of Gillingham"< div> This quote from the firm's website is a selection of words that sound good but are almost meaningless to consumers because every single law firm'...


Pacific Law: As we said, this is a new firm. . When reviews do start popping up though (and even in your searches of any company really) you need to take the time to read through comments. Never discuss bank details or payments via email. There is no 200 year old solicitor impartin...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: Some go as far as big bold letters with boastful 'the client is king' banners (slightly sexist in our opinion though). If the firm you're researching is signed up to them - wonderful. Thousands of people have simply handed over millions of pounds to fraudsters. But you may g...


Stenfield Solicitors: class="infoquote "83% of new clients are recommended to us through word of mouth"< div> A quick note on navigation because although we link to the official site above as www.stenfield.com, there is a completely different firm using the www.stenfield.co.uk domain. ...


Khan Law: That can make them sound very different from the public reviews and they are of course only ever positive comments: class="infoquote "excellent at navigating me through my injury claim" "took care of all the legal hassle and fought hard to secure the best possibl...


DV Solicitors: Such as: class="infoquote "have gone beyond and above in all areas of our transaction" "an immense pleasure to acquire your proficient services" "carried out all the required responsibilities efficiently"< div> Those are snippets from much longer pieces ...


Richmond Legal Ltd: The legal industry is quite different from others when it comes to public reviews. The most common typos we'd expect would obviously be www.richmondlegal.co.uk and the .com and neither of them are owned by this company either. Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: class="infoquote "As market leaders, we are passionate about the customer service and support we provide."< div> That snippet from the Trust Inheritance website may sound like most other law firms. Unfortunately the temptation to utilise marketing language on any ...


Bilkus & Boyle: As a Scottish business ourselves, we hope our national Law Society can catch up and provide a bit more in the future . Typically one side is always unhappy at how a sale has gone either due to timescale, delays with finance, things popping up during the search phase, ...


Catteralls Solicitors: Most law firms are signed up with a law society whether national, countywide or even city based if there is a large enough population. You are just as likely to get a one year qualified newbie solicitor from a one hundred year old practice as you are to get a twenty year wel...


Penerley Lawyers: Penerleys only had three online reviews that we saw after digging through Google, Yell, Yelp and Trustpilot. class="infoquote "At Penerley we are committed to providing the best possible level of service to our clients."< div>. The official site we link to above...


The Search Bureau: Groundsure Location Intelligence provide land analysis to check contamination, flooding and ground stability. But it's surely a fair one. If you've read some of our other articles where we research solicitors, barristers and law practices across the UK - you'll probably...


Education Law Service Ltd: Its lack of publicity is strange though because there are so many children within the UK involved with such setups and who could also use the help of a law firm with skills in this area. But since Legal Aid got demolished by the government, Direct Access to barristers was ...


Pump Court Chambers: Always make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments or bank details via email. The official website for this chambers is www.pumpcourtchambers.com which we link to above with www.pumpcourtchambers.co.uk redirecting you there nicely. They have ...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: One of the solicitors retired in 2018 and the firm had to be restarted. The official site is www.masonbullock.co.uk with www.masonbullock.com not currently being owned by the firm. The main difference of the UK compensation process vs the US is that being injured in the UK i...


Lindsays Solicitors: The firm uses the singular name of 'Lindsays' (not Lindsay's) in all it's branding and it's official website is www.lindsays.co.uk as linked to above. But I'm guessing most people that see articles with companies holding large cheques being handed to a charity rep - have a l...


Aspire Licensing: However even then there are options such as hiring a barrister through the new Direct Access scheme instead of going through a solicitor. For cases such as Motor Offenses or a Personal Injury, absolutely we would recommend a firm that is clearly a law office. They also provi...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 601629 ots-solicitors-ltd" check the pages for this firm< a> you'll see a wealth of details including any alternate trading names, contact details, staff details, qualification dates, and more. At the time of writing they ...


Reid Black Solicitors: For a start, Military Claims are a much rarer case type to be taken on by most personal injury handling firms. We'd like to share some bits and pieces that stood out. Millions of pounds a year https: www.irishnews.com news northernirelandnews 2018 10 08 news thousands-of-p...


Howe + Co Solicitors: Many of their websites even look the same with photos of people in smart suits smiling and pointing at a computer screen or shaking hands. If you've been searching for a law firm for a while already today, you'll have seen the majority have very similar sounding sales pitche...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Direct Access is something barristers have to apply for and be qualified to offer. We tried entering all the information it asked for and then different bits and pieces. A last word from Robin's site: class="infoquote "I am at my best at times when clients are facing c...


Levins Solicitors: This is complete marketing jargon. class="infoquote "Levins are still the biggest provider of legal services in Knowsley"< div> An online resource we always highly recommend is The Law Society of England & Wales' website. At a 1-year-old firm you could get...


Aconveyancing Ltd: No matter which you use such as Google, Yelp, Yell.com, or Trustpilot - the majority of firms dealing with property sales will have a wealth of negative reviews. https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conveyancing-scam-friday-afternoon-fraud-legal-sector-e...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: A few other bits and pieces stand out in The Injury Solicitor's offering. If you've used our legal help search service before or read any of our articles on law firms, you'll know we like to detail a range of firms. No win, no fee just means that if you lose there w...


RD Costings: class="infoquote "RD Costings ... When you see firms stating "no win, no fee" across their site, that doesn't necessarily mean there are no fees at all. 100% compensation guaranteed means there are no fees if your case wins. This is not true for all firms or...


MGBe Legal: However, as this firm only deals with immigration and the site is https secure - we don't envisage any real problems with scammers. 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-y...


McEwan Fraser Legal: They have over 500+ reviews on Google at the time of writing this but still over a 4 star rating. Two other property firms we recommend on our site and who we think do a great job have only 2-3 star ratings. Also be aware that it's very easy to spoof the 'Sender:' in an emai...


Fieldfisher LLP: For some, just seeing the "more than 30 years" will help. The main site we link to above is www.fieldfisher.com with www.fieldfisher.co.uk redirecting you there. The firm has merged with others over the years including Martineau and Reid, Waterhouse & Co, Allison & Hum...


APS Legal & Associates: class="infoquote "We are ... Either they are unbelievably niche in their target market, have achieved impressive growth during hard times, or have managed to get high praise in an industry fraught with hazards (e.g. class="infoquote "With over 500 Associates nat...


Linkilaw Solicitors: Chances are most review sites will do the same and just change some titles around. Linkilaw is one of them and Linkilaw Solicitors is their newest version. That's why people use now whether researching a product they want to buy or a company they want to use. A final word fr...


NV Legal Ltd: They're mostly https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" aimed at property matters< a>. The first simply means that if your case loses, there will be no fees. But you never know what's going to ...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: How do you know which is best for you? How do you even know what to research in the first place? Obviously it's not possible for us to come up with a hundred or so legal issues each year to actually test each firm's services as a consumer. Naturally, the ones listed the...


DFA Law LLP: Sometimes when researching a company online people tend to just look up some reviews on their favourite review site and then decide. Whenever we discuss a firm that deals with property matters we always advise bookmarking the correct site once you're on it and making...
