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:

Jacobs Law Solicitors: So for Jacobs to be unafraid in posting such a "new" start date in the face of such an "old" industry - well that really stands out to us as genuinely being a modern day law office. You can get a 40-year-expert lawyer at a 1-year-old newly set up brand where the pain...


Argue & Co Legal: Despite the long list of case types we state this firm covers, they are actually specialists. Not as bad as that. Having to relay details of your accident and injuries to a more-secretarial staff member can feel a little like having to explain your embarrasing symptoms to th...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Rather than separate services with different firms, you sort out everything in one place. Customer care second to none."< div> They are all positive as these snippets show. Those who did any future planning would typically get a basic will written and maybe take out l...


BLZ Solicitors: If you've seen a firm with dozens of solicitors, some with over twenty years experience, across a wide range of case types - will they handle your case (and you personally) with better care than a smaller, newer firm? Is enthusiam for you and your case more important than ex...


Hawkridge & Company: Popular words these days which we've seen across huge numbers of legal professionals sites include 'modern', 'specialist', 'friendly', 'leading' and so on. Because we spotted a few negative comments that were followed by Hawkridge & Co stating that person was not a client of...

Pacific Law: This could include breaking away from the typical 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours and offering some late night appointments. However the risks are minimal as the majority of scams involved the legal industry https: www.falmouthpacket.co.uk news 18674736.cornwall-property-s...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: Some go as far as big bold letters with boastful 'the client is king' banners (slightly sexist in our opinion though). class="infoquote "We ensure that customer service, rather than our profits, is the number one priority."< div> This is another claim every single...


Stenfield Solicitors: We ran a poll a few years ago which came back in the single digits for people that actually trusted the testimonial pages of company websites. This includes Joan Thorpe-Anderson who qualified in 1993, Caspar Kennedy in 2008, Deepa Sevani in 2015, and so on. We've seen a law ...


Khan Law: Khan Solicitors is a different firm as well using www.khansolicitors.com (www.khansolicitors.co.uk is unowned). The official site we link to above is www.khanlaw.co.uk with www.khanlaw.com showing information for a completely different firm in the US. We received a negative ...


DV Solicitors: You may get a one year qualified solicitor from a 200 year old firm. Debt recovery is another area where using a specialist non-solicitor-based company could be a better solution for your particular needs. The official website we link to above is www.dvsolicitors.com and at ...


Richmond Legal Ltd: Of course, you should never discuss payments or bank details via email . class="infoquote "At Richmond Legal we do our very best to help our clients navigate through their legal issues with the least amount of stress."< div> The branding used by Suhail seems to b...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: There are dozens out there, but the most commonly used are Google Reviews, Yelp, Trustpilot and Yell. The most common reason is the expectation of more expertise, more experience, and therefore a knock on effect of less time and cost required. Rather than simply only ...


Bilkus & Boyle: it almost makes them meaningless. The number of scams relating to conveyancing and property in general have been increasing for years. Quite often it's the fault of the buyer seller or the other party's legal representation. As a Scottish business ourselves, we hope ou...

Catteralls Solicitors: That's great. In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk issuing sage advice. You'll note that they have solicitors that have qualified in every decade from the past 40 years including Philip Lisle who qualified in 1981, Julie Bu...


Penerley Lawyers: To check whether someone is a qualified solicitor or that a firm has one on staff, you can always use your local law society website. If they do open later and at least some weekends, that's a bigger deal than you might think. We've been trying to find some of these sp...


The Search Bureau: class="infoquote "We know that our clients want a hassle free and transparent service and that is exactly what we have designed."< div>. However, as already mentioned at the outset of this piece, there often isn't as much to go on when it comes to service providers to ...


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. This is either because the types of cases are so niche, so complicated, or possibly no...


Pump Court Chambers: So choosing one is just as much a point of discernment as any other law firm selection. They also state: class="infoquote "we have provided high-quality legal representation to clients in the UK and overseas for more than 70 years"< div> Which all sounds great. ...


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. For example they still linked to the now very defunct Google+ platform and many of the links we clicked on both our desktop and phone...


Lindsays Solicitors: However we thought it could be very helpful to take you through a few of the reasons we chose to work with them. Their website also isn't plastered with carefully selected testimonials, boasts about awards won, or how wonderfully charitable they are. But one thing that impr...


Aspire Licensing: Aspire Licensing point this out themselves as well stating they have: class="infoquote "... Is this a negative point then? Licensing is an area of law where you can have help and be represented by a non-court-qualified person. Certainly we can't think of one that'...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: There are many wonderful firms without a single drop of publicity ink. And there doesn't seem to be any other firms with similar names to cause confusion. For some reason we can't quite fathom, the buyers sellers don't question this and simply hand all their house deposits...


Reid Black Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.reidblack.com with www.reidblack.co.uk not currently showing anything at all. None of the mis-spellings or full branding domains such as www.reidblacksolicitors.com .co.uk seemed to be showing anything either. No firm is ever going...


Howe + Co Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 414386 howe-co" check out the pages for this firm< a> you can see contact details, confirmed areas of practice, specialist accreditations, staff details, and more. One last quote from the firm's site: class="infoquo...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: However there are many situations where going direct to a barrister yourself will definitely save you considerable time and cost . In fact, across every site we checked we did not find a single negative comment about Robin's work . Whether a general commercial law iss...


Levins Solicitors: To quote the LBC site: class="infoquote "... If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 476207 levins-solicitors" check out the page< a> about Levins Law on their site you'll see alternate contact details, SRA regulatory status, staff information, areas of pr...


Aconveyancing Ltd: Why do property firms have so much more negative public images than other types of legal service provider? Mostly because people don't particularly feel comfortable sharing their divorce or bankruptcy case progression. For example this article from https: www.standard...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: class="infoquote "With almost 10 years' of experience in personal injury law, we understand that no two cases are the same."< div> The firm's local newspaper, Salford Now, http: www.salfordnow.co.uk 2020 12 16 i-never-imagined-that-i-could-have-my-own-law-firm-s...


RD Costings: The 25% is sometimes more of a bonus. Assisting Victims of Violent Crimes, Domestic and Sexual Abuse."< div> If you've already been through several law firm websites today, you'll probably have noticed that even personal injury focused lawyers tend to list Criminal Inju...


MGBe Legal: If someone calls saying they are from your solicitor and need to discuss payments - you can always hang up and call the firm back on the official number you have on their documentation just to be sure.. However whilst you may see hundreds of reviews about conveyancing firms ...


McEwan Fraser Legal: If you've used our site before for either searching for legal help or to check an article on a firm you're already thinking of, you'll know that we tend to cover more 'fringe' firms that either focus on an intensely niche area of law or provide a unique service. As the ...


Fieldfisher LLP: No win no fee just means that if you LOSE there will be no fees. A quick note on navigation as always. 100% compensation guaranteed means there will be no fees if you WIN either. But according to our poll last year, many members of the public also find them useful in he...


APS Legal & Associates: Once you have the name of the law firm you can use the various resource we already recommend such as searching the relevant Law Society's website for background and qualification details. class="infoquote "APS Legal and Associates are one of the UK’s largest and most ...


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. But law firms are starting to realise that telling people they've been established for over...


NV Legal Ltd: It's quite common for firms to use marketing jargon to obscure their real experience levels. When a firm states it is a Personal Injury specialist it will usually then follow it up with a long list of case types covered including Professional Negligence, Slips Trips,...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: But why? class="infoquote "We are known for our strength in litigation work, and the majority of our laywers are dispute resolution practitioners. Naturally, the ones listed there are all incredibly positive and lengthy in their praise. There are some things t...


DFA Law LLP: I received excellent and thorough advice throughout"< div> However a poll we ran a couple of years ago indicated that people didn't really trust testimonials on company websites. A tough thing to admit with us being a Scottish company, so it must be true. A really good ...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: Over the past 20+ years of working with law firms we've seen so many negative reviews for firms that were clearly unwarranted or simply about the wrong firm. Ian Mallon are signed up with both the Northern Ireland Law Society and The Law Society of England & Wales. As the fi...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: Certainly if you see the same thing repeated a few times in negative comments for other firms, then that's something to take note of. Again, something you might think everyone does, but they don't. TSABI Ltd aka The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc first caught our eye ...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: No matter what firm you're researching though, we always recommend reading comments rather than relying on general star ratings. Having worked with law firms for over 20 years now, our team know the best resources to help you research a firm and can spot things between...


Allsop Durn Solicitors: Over the past few years there has been quite an upsurge of https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 jul 18 homebuyer-loses-300000-to-fraudsters-but-gets-it-back-after-we-step-in" property clients being targeted by scammers< a> trying to get them to use fake bank details. As ...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: It happens to firms all the time where a cold-caller states they are from a certain company in order to seem genuine if the person wants to quickly look them up. No win, no fee means that if your case loses you will not have to pay anything and there are no up front costs ei...


Apprise Legal Services: Apprise Legal Services are obviously specialists. Therefore it's perfectly understandable that the number of firms that specialise in handling more than just those template Wills is on the increase as well. There has been a huge rise in self-employment in this countr...


Aina Khan Law Ltd: We also saw the site www.ainakhan.com mentioned on other websites and in the search results. class="infoquote "She [Aina] has for many years had a personally chosen, trusted network of legal experts across Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, South East Asia, Africa,...


Taborns Legal Business: When nagivating the firm's name is quite unique so any searches for Taborns, Taborns Business Law, Will Taborn, etc. Sadly when it comes to business law, costs can vary far more than with consumer matters. If you're a business person yourself , you've probably se...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors: Worst of all are the people who don't do either and just act as if they are personal injury specialists in order to get your personal details so they can sell them on to an actual solicitor - i.e. They also advertise the handling of much trickier case types such as post trau...


Penn Chambers Solicitors: However, if you see 'established in 1883' that doesn't mean there is an 150-year-old solicitor sat behind the desk running things. At the moment it is mostly property law firms and their clients https: www.clc-uk.org watch-out-for-conveyancing-fraud " that are bein...
