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:

DFA Law LLP: The official site we link to above is www.dfalaw.co.uk which is https secure for you to safely submit your personal details on the web form. There are a few little touches around their site too that indicate a firm with a vested interest in their public perception. For large...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: Put it all together and you can get a much better picture of how well established and how strong a firm and the team within it are. The firm's website is https secure so you should be fine entering your details into the contact forms. That snippet from Ian Mallon's si...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: In fact we saw at least two pages worth of examples of case types and associated fees declared up front for people to check out before calling. However, on this occasion they have simply linked to the third party review site Trustpilot and are showing the public review...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: class="infoquote "Good company and they sorted everything like they should" "Excellent service, felt our issues were heard and met" "very helpful and kept me informed throughout the whole process" "They were extremely helpful, dealt with my queries swif...


Allsop Durn Solicitors: You're able to look up case ranges, any other offices, staff details and more. A quick note on navigation. However after so many years of flicking through such sites, we've noticed quite a few distinctions the less regular browser may not. We're sad to say that our o...

MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: It only shows the most basic contact details though and again the www.mtasolicitors.co.uk variant shows nothing. It's not as common as them being registered with the SRA, so don't take the fact a solicitor is not registered as some negative feature. www.mtapersonalinjury.co....


Apprise Legal Services: There aren't nearly as many security concerns with a Wills & Probate specialist firm than with those that specialise in other matters such as Property (just seach for 'conveyancing bank details scam' to see how bad it is). So how can you tell the difference? Once source we...


Aina Khan Law Ltd: For all we know their award could have been for a good website design or a medal for taking part in a local charity fun-run. That could mean two solicitors with 10 years experience each. 5,000+ cases. You turned the case round completely"< div>. In other words, it lists real...


Taborns Legal Business: should bring up the correct website on search engines. class="infoquote "We assemble the most efficient legal team for your specific needs; by combining the most suitable people for the matter at hand we centre on striking the right balance between cost and the desired...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors: R James Hutcheon Solicitors go beyond niche covering a range of case types you'll rarely see sought after by other practices such as Mercedes-Benz Diesel Emissions Compensation. If you find a firm with a full page of information regarding how they handle your case typ...


Penn Chambers Solicitors: It doesn't have as much information regarding the firm and obviously has different contact information. For all intents and purposes, long establishment claims are mainly a marketing ploy. The fact Penn Chambers offer this is therefore a good sign of their interest in ensu...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd: It's always a good idea to bookmark a law firm's site if you plan to return to it. So that's good. It's a common misconception that general practice firms are always less able to handle a certain case type compared to a specialist. You can usually look up the qualific...


OJ Solicitors Ltd: We ran a poll last year and a whopping 81% of you said you didn't trust testimonials on company websites. Another place people tell us they research firms with is companies house to see the start date of the firm to gauge how experienced they are. A one-year-old firm ...

Kudos Legal Ltd: But with such variables around we would recommend bookmarking the correct site once you're on it just to be sure. Whilst joined together under the United Kingdom banner, Scotland has an individual legal system, NHS, and various government branches. Your preferred English l...


Serious Law LLP: If you look at the page for Serious Law there is a range of experience levels, with solicitors from every decade over the past 40 years. John Sherrington qualified in 1985, Timothy Walters in 1997, Jerard Knott in 2002, and right up to Rebecca Hilton in 2017. Please note tha...


5 Essex Court: We've also seen some understandable variants in searches such as "no.5 essex court" and "5 essex street" for example. But many people might not be aware of some of the other benefits that come from using a 'chambers' over a regular 'solicitor'. Many of our barristers are qua...


Avery Walters Solicitors: The https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 530926 avery-walters-limited?Solicitors=True" page for this firm< a> for example lists a good mix of seasoned experienced personel along with some freshly placed staff . firms posting 5 star reviews about themse...


AWH Solicitors: class="infoquote "We provide a free 15 minute initial consultation for all of our services except for immigration law. However with anyone able to make a flashy website and write good sales pitches - how do you know the best options for you? If you saw one firm had ...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors: Whilst mostly conveyancing firms get targetted by scammers, you never know what's around the corner.. Being updated even just to say 'we're still waiting to hear from X' , can help with peace of mind. As always, we advise giving more weight to reviewers who are marked as ha...


Lawcomm Solicitors: If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591051 lawcommercial-trading-limited?Solicitors=True" Lawcomm's< a> page you'll see a good mix of old and new. Even during the Covid-19 lock down everything worked as usual."< div> On Google for e...


Redwood Collections Ltd: Why it's taken so long for such firms to create apps and online admin areas to keep clients apprised of what's going on is anyone's guess. Some are only set up to send threatening letters. By now though, we would actually suggest avoiding any firm that doesn't engage in good...


Alexander JLO Solicitors: This is always a useful tool to see what real resources are available at most law firms in the UK. Alexander JLO Solicitors seem to be having a similar problem. Thank you" "They were patient with all our questions and understanding in helping us find the best way" < di...


GloverPriest Solicitors: This is something we've always encouraged firms to create. We've gone in depth on this issue in other articles (site search box below) however in short - Conveyance firms will always have far more negative reviews than firms in other areas of law. Certainly, if there is a re...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd: i was made to feel at ease with Gordon Johnson" • "I highly recommend Jay Sahota and his team ..." < div> How does these compare with the third party independent review sites? Well, our first tip before even heading to third party boards such as Yelp, Yellow P...


33Legal Ltd: http: www.legalombudsman.org.uk raising-standards data-and-decisions " The Legal Ombudsman Database< a> lists all the actual complaints filed against law firms and their outcomes. So the fact 33 Legal (or any law firm for that matter) has only a handful or even zero revie...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors: But in this case the small print states the word 'success' only meant achieving the expected outcome. So it's not surprising that if a firm has stopped the worst from happening, people will be overwhelmed and want to express their appreciation. So they certainly could have t...


Driscoll Kingston: But usually scammers target property solicitors.. For example when we see that their website states 'established in 2011' but every company check website says they started in 2018 - we want to know why. Many people only think of specialists when it comes to things such as Cr...


SBW Law Ltd: SBW Law doesn't use such potentially misleading language on their website. our friendly team ..."< div> Practically every law firm makes this claim which unfortunately makes it unhelpful as a distinguishing feature. Those are two different setups. The official firm na...


IWC Probate & Will Services: class="infoquote "Your initial consultation with us is free of charge, with no obligation to proceed."< div> Hopefully if you've continued reading this far you'll agree that us having a very 'pro' stance on IWC Wills and Probate isn't wholly unjustified . ...


Briffa Legal Ltd: They may also deal with divorces, personal injury, and criminal law in the same day. With Briffa though, there's bucket loads. If you've read other reviews on here then that should already be clear. (I really don't care what my solicitor's hobbies, pets or favourite colour ...


Helix Law Ltd: It's as if a website can't be considered 'official' unless you have a bunch of articles no-one ever reads. Some will directly ask customers to provide something in writing using a 'customer feedback questionnaire' after the case has finished. We've even come across a Motor O...


Leech & Co: Whilst it's certainly on-topic with their particular client focus - I imagine it's something you only really understand when that time actually comes. for people who have to confront their own death or confront the death of a loved one, the chance to discuss their feelings a...


Joanna Connolly Solicitors: I recommend a phone call to confirm the ins and outs of that though. Whilst obviously focused on financial law matters, they also work on contentious probate, disputing a will, inheritance laws, personal insolvency, employment law court advocacy, and more.. Whilst they ...


CFG Law: So why the decision to write this article anyway? I don't know if you're a regular visitor, but we've put out a few articles recently about claims funding, early treatment, and psychological care. etc.' disclaimer is relevant in this instance. studied engineering manu...


HJA Solicitors: However, the type and scope of work HJA gets involved with seems to have resulted in the availability of hundreds of reviews to flick through should you feel the need. However, when clicked it currently forwards you to the official site whilst www.hodgejonesallen.com doesn...


CSL Law Ltd: Certainly we get repeat visitors coming back to search for their contact details. So to make sure people didn't have to leave our site if they didn't need to and end up with the same problem, we decided to take a pro-active stance. As much of the search results Google p...


RSR Law Ltd: Whilst their desire to write is commendable and their knowledge of the industry clearly apparent - they have skipped the spell checker on occasions. We are against cold calling in any form."< div> We couldn't agree more with the cold-calling thing and have similar state...


The Johnson Partnership: The biggest problem we had on this occasion was that the information was not always clear, or even about the correct firm. Again from the Johnson's official website: class="infoquote "We have over 60 Criminal Advocates, over 25 Accredited Police Station Advisors and o...


Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd: Green Flag are currently running a TV ad campaign pointing out that this is not actually true of all recovery providers. But that's my point. (No pun intended.) Unless you have the most expensive and utterly inclusive insurance policy, most people will have to sort out...


White Collar Legal: So what else can we compare instead? Whilst flicking through various law sites, you may have noticed some asking you to follow their Twitter feed or 'Like' them on Facebook. All the firms we accept onto the panel are firms we think will enhance the network and pr...


Kings View Chambers: Considering that variants such as www.kingschambers.com, www.kingsview.com and www.kingsview.co.uk are all owned by other firms as well, it's very advisable to bookmark the site just in case. There are other websites such as www.stephenmccaffreybarrister.com out there with i...


Kings Court Trust Ltd: Also even though the web address www.kingscourttrust.co.uk currently redirects to the main one, www.kingscourttrust.com does not. We obviously haven't been able to test it out though. But they also highlight their online case tracking service - Insight. For example, most law...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors: It's unique. It has great chunks of information, and it has nicely laid out lists. Much more than your typical law firm. The firm has received a number of awards. Their website has modern features, and older ones. Whilst they definitely have the right trimmings such as...


Davey Law: On top of that, www.daveylaw.com also takes you to a different company. Because not seeking attention deserves some attention. For example, as you'll no doubt have noticed - the individual serious injury website I've linked to above does not use typical tld identifiers. If y...


Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors: As you can tell from the links, this is information we spotted on some third party websites that specialise in locating such discounts. No photo opportunities of the staff feeding homeless people, no self-released 'news stories' with plenty of flattering descriptions of the ...


Balfour+Manson LLP: They have a Twitter feed at where we spotted that some of BalfourManson's staff play for the Parlex Group's football team. In all honesty, having run YouTube channels for various firms in various industries - l...


Murray Hay Solicitors: you'll agree with us that the website actually reflects a sort of personality to the firm, rather than just being another professional looking website with links. With very little information, a few nice pictures, but the focus on trying to get people to phone up with their ...
