KRS Estate Planning Ltd: There's also Alternative Business Structures (ABS) allowing companies to run law firms rather than it having to be actual solicitors. A quick note on navigation as we're dealing with an acronymed company name and non-branded web address. Some have forced themselves to ...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: But we'll come back to whether Branch Austin McCormick fit this description later. As mentioned before, such a huge range of seasoned professionals mixed with fresh legs and ideas has not been seen by us in over twenty years of working with law firms. We've been reviewing ...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: Most importantly, they also https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 617768 trojan-solicitors-ltd" provide a list of solicitors< a> within each firm along with their qualifying dates. You never know what scammers will come up with next though, so just keep aware. ...


CEL Solicitors: We typically don't quote reviews listed on a firm's own website (more commonly called 'testimonials') ever since our poll last year indicated that only 8% of people trust such testimonials on company sites. That's because legal professionals and law firms are not quite the s...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: The research people do to confirm company statements about customer care usually involves public review boards such as Google, Yelp, and Trustpilot. As that information isn't readily available in Scotland (yet) we have to do a bit more digging. "it's never too early to c...

HooperHyde: Confirming the experience level of the actual lawyer you'll be dealing with is something most people find most useful. That's not always the most helpful information for the firm to offer because it's not as if their competitors are going to state they are 'old-fashioned', '...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: There are several others within that range creating a good mix of seasoned experts partnered with fresh legs. As specialists go, this is an unusual one to find. Just watch out for ads using keyword matching to display. We try to cover a range of solutions for legal p...


Fair Result Ltd: In other words if you want a fight and to make each other suffer as much as possible on the way out of a marraige - they can't help you. We did ask around our own office if anyone might want to get a divorce in order to test out this firm's claims. Not every legal matte...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 469206 dylan-nair-solicitors-limited" take a look at the page< a> for any particular firm you can see any alternate trading names, a list of solictiors working there, other locations, and even qualification dates of indivi...


Mckie Legal: Since the huge shake up to legal aid in the 90s, solicitors now mostly offer to run claims cases for free. class="infoquote "Ive been asked a few times already 'which Barrister did you use?'"< div> This is a quote from the firm's website relating to a review from...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: If we did need that much legal help so often, then there would be something so seriously wrong with us that you shouldn't listen to a work we say anyway. Sadly buying or selling a house in England Wales is fraught with risks delays and despite it often being completely out o...


Argue & Co Legal: We've talked to hundreds upon hundreds of potential clients over the twenty years we've been working in the legal industry. We've seen conveyancing firms with over a thousand reviews on a single review site. class="infoquote "When we can, we operate a no-win-no-fee fu...


Springle & Co Solicitors: On top of that, families are much further away from the stereotypical husband wife 2.6 children arrangement of old. There is an unrelated firm called Spring & Co Solicitors so just be careful how you type and click. Springle's reviews were all positive at the time of writi...

BLZ Solicitors: A last sales-pitchy statement from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We are a friendly, approachable and professional firm that provides quality legal representation to those that need it."< div> Don't be too hard on firms when you see the exact same language use...


Hawkridge & Company: Hawkridge & Co on the other hand have big clear logos at the bottom of their page showing Lexcel Accreditation, the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners, Accredited by Solicitors for the Elderly, and so on. One thing people do comment on readily though when...


Pacific Law: In fact there seems to be a very clear split in the industry, with one section of legal practices boasting about ancient founding dates back in the 1800s and their 'traditional' values. This new offering is a specialist Estate Planning service including Wills and Probably ...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: So that could be 17 x solicitors each with 5 years experience. But I'm sure most of you are already aware about the wealth of review boards available these days such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yelp, Yell, etc. This brings us to one of the main reasons we were very keen ...


Stenfield Solicitors: We did see a couple of complaints. Sometimes it has taken only a single email from a scammer to convince people to pay their house deposits into a completely fraudulent bank account. Especially when the sales language, images, names and even logos can all start looking ident...


Khan Law: If you've already been through a dozen websites of law firms today, you'll probably have been disheartened at just how similar they all seem. We can

DV Solicitors: This is important because the firm handles property matters which have been the subject of increased scams over the past few years. The idea being that people imagine a 200 year old amount of experience within a firm simply because their branding has existed for that long....


Richmond Legal Ltd: Also the majority of scams against clients of law firms right now tend to https: www.todayslegalcyberrisk.co.uk main-news solicitors-lose-45000-deposit-conveyancing-scam " revolve around conveyancy and property matters< a>. That's plenty of time to have gotten to grips wi...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: class="infoquote "excellent professional, prompt and accurate service every time" "Does what it says on the tin" "I have found to be excellent value for money."< div> On the whole they are positive too . Another thing that should be mentioned though is ...


Bilkus & Boyle: You can then click the links of solicitor's names to see some more personal details such as case expertise. Vice versa, a firm quoting just a few years since opening could have several solicitors on board with dozens of years experience each. So where else can you sear...


Catteralls Solicitors: Catteralls are signed up with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have a fantastic website full of consumer information on firms.

Penerley Lawyers: As mentioned before many law firms are stuck in the past and the 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri is still the industry norm. For as long as we can remember (and after working in the industry for over 20+ years now we can remember a lot) most people have always sought a specialist for thing...


The Search Bureau: 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 the law firms we often write about. to confirm past client opinions. Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. After m...

OTS Solicitors Ltd: For example, many do not state which awards have been won. We once saw someone leave a negative review for a Criminal Law specialist for refusing to listen to them about their Divorce case. class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is one of the UK's leading law firms located i...


Reid Black Solicitors: class="infoquote "We will happily discuss any legal issue with you with a free, no obligation, initial interview."< div> To clarify - every law firm that deals with personal injury matters should provide you with a completely free case run under a no win, no fee a...


Howe + Co Solicitors: The snippets above were from the usual third party boards such as Google, Yell.com, Yelp and Trustpilot. One thing you rarely see in relation to UK law firms is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to them. You can even see qualification dates of the lawyers working...

For example a solicitor consulting with a barrister on your issue to improve it's chances pf success is a very diffe...


Levins Solicitors: Sadly in England & Wales (not so much in Scotland) many things can go wrong with a property sale purchase that are totally outside the solicitor's control. Most reviews are about their Criminal Law help and Conveyancing work. I would not be here today writing this review" ...

Fieldfisher LLP: And by large we mean, well, large. 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...


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.
