Branch Austin McCormick LLP: What we don't like is when solicitors go too far and start listing their favourite foods and pet's names.

Trojan Solicitors Ltd: The official site we link to above is www.trojansolicitors.com but currently www.trojansolicitors.co.uk does not redirect there. class="infoquote "Newly established but full of experience law firm fully focused on its clients."< div> First, this statement about ...

There's also a good mix of fluent languages spoken at this firm. Legal issues are very per...


Mckie Legal: A good resource we always recommend using in conjuction with your search is local law societies. The first means no fees if your case loses. The main address is in Penrith but they've recently opened a local office in St Helens according to a recent Legal Futures article. ...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: It's not as though any would say the opposite either. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on offering our clients the very best advice in specific areas of expertise. But it's not. That way when you see statements about a firm having decades of experience - you can ma...


Argue & Co Legal: And even a one star rating for a firm having moved offices to a place where the person had to pay for street parking instead of it being free. class="infoquote "took the time to talk me through all the detail and legal jargon" "always gave me great advice when n...


Springle & Co Solicitors: As the percentage of people writing a will has increased in recent decades, the idea of really thinking about what happens after you're gone has become more acceptable. class="infoquote "Our friendly team of experts are here to guide you through the legal processes, whet...

BLZ Solicitors: No really, that last one actually happens more than we ever thought possible. So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fine. This is where the balancing act in your brain can get a little wobbly. class="infoquote "BLZ Solicit...


Hawkridge & Company: However for this you are usually able to check this independently and get a good insight into the overall experience a firm may have. class="infoquote "you will be able to talk through your options with a knowledgeable, friendly solicitor at a time to suit you"< div>....


Pacific Law: 0800 numbers should now be free from every mobile service provider in the UK. Always check. You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty year experienced lawyer that joined a new legal practice starting up i...

Khan Law: The majority of people would imagine there's a significant difference between a Motor Offence specialist and a general practice solicitor trying the same case. Despite the range of other 'Khan' law firms, this firm focuses on Personal Injury which doesn't have as muc...


DV Solicitors: A few articles back we covered a law firm that had a 5 star review for being such a great dog-friendly restaurant. If you've used our site before or read through any of our articles, you may have noticed that we're not a regular directory just cramming in every high street...

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. It's important to make sure you're looking at the correct inform...

Mason Bullock Solicitors: Some people are handing over entire house deposits to fraudsters based solely on an email asking them to change the bank details they pay to. The same goes for employment matters where not only the amount is important , but how it is paid out. The reason we point...


Lindsays Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are proud to sponsor Eilish McColgan, one of the rising female track stars of Scottish and UK athletics"< div> Firms will often do charity events raising a few hundred pounds for something then get several news articles about it put out. The E...


Aspire Licensing: Aspire Licensing point this out themselves as well stating they have: class="infoquote "... But that's what you'd expect from a firm that deals day in day out with a single area of law. There are certainly more quality, cost-effective, and quicker solutions to legal ...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is one of the UK's leading law firms located in the City of London."< div> No matter how many law websites you've already dug through today, you'll have seen such a statement on all of them. (Wherever that expression came from.) ...

Howe + Co Solicitors: If you scroll down to the bottom of most pages on their website you'll also see a short list of awards they have won and been nominated for.

The Injury Solicitor Ltd: But such ancient founding claims are really just marketing ploys. 100% compensation guaranteed, on the other hand, promises no part of you compensation will be taken. The branding is not nearly as important as the actual solicitor assigned to your case. But these differences...


RD Costings: we may be able to help you obtain compensation and assist you on the road to recovery."< div> In the whiplash claim example mentioned earlier - we would consider it quite unusual for a firm to take 25% of that compensation unless there were extremely difficult circumsta...

McEwan Fraser Legal: This therefore came across as a little gimmicky. That's quite unheard of. The Scottish and Irish versions, not so much. There is a huge amount of public reviews about the firm though. Plus, the generic term 'legal' which can often cause confusion when part of a solici...


Fieldfisher LLP: As there are no extra generic terms such as 'fieldfisher law' or 'fieldfisher legal' to cause confusion, and with most people being able to get the i and the e in the correct order (as the defunct i before e rule only impedes words with a c in them) - we don't expect there ...


APS Legal & Associates: It's, sadly, ridiculously easy. There are hundreds of will writing service providers advertising on the web that have never even attended a course, much less attached themselves to even a self-regulatory organisation. As far as we're aware their aren't a lot of scams going w...


Linkilaw Solicitors: You never know where the next scam might come from though so pay attention to the web address you are on and be aware that it's very easy to fake the "Sender:" box of an email. I really loved working with people there, they are truly professionals." "transparent ...


NV Legal Ltd: The law firm then pursues the third party, or more often their insurer, for compensation. The fact NV Legal is already doing this is a great indicator of a firm with both the mindset and resources we agree with. Whilst it can be common for senior solicitors to have their m...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 594908 simons-rodkin-solicitors-llp?Solicitors=True" check out the page for this firm< a> for example, you'll be shown a wealth of information including alternative contact details, lists of all their off...
