Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: Certainly there are several areas of law where people want a specialist too. The official website is www.sarahandrewslaw.co.uk but the full name you see on the site and with the regulatory bodies is Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law. Although people are quick to post...


Cook Legal Ltd: Many firms provide testimonials on their websites. So when you see a solicitor's practice has hardly any reviews that doesn't always mean something negative. Each of those has different laws and legal setups. Law firms authorised to practice in England & Wales can practice i...


TWB Probate Solicitors: Unfortunately, in the UK there are no good guidelines blocking people from calling themselves a 'lawyer' considering most are not aware it does not mean the same thing as a 'solicitor' or 'barrister'. class="infoquote "... There are a multitude of options in betwee...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: While a firm stating they are 'friendly' or 'experienced' sounds great - it needs to be noted that every single law firm will claim to have both those qualities. However, this wealth of choice comes with its own difficulties of being able to tell each firm apart and ...


PCS Legal Ltd: However most people prefer the independent forums such as Facebook, Trustpilot, and Google. Again, many people end up picking the conveyancer they like without checking with their mortgage provider first which can cause issues. Here are a few snippets from those sites: ...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: class="infoquote "Dispute Resolver Consultancy can get more done for you in the resolution of your dispute through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, both in national and international disputes."< div> The Dispute Resolver website states they can help re...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: To be sure you are on the website of an actual solicitor you can look the firm up on the SRA website and it will tell you the official web address of the firm. It seems so long ago that you would have a handful of solicitor offices in your local high street that handled ever...


Solidaire Solicitors: So what phrases can you use to separate one firm from another? What resources are available to help you? class="infoquote "We are experienced in what we do and aim to offer outstanding representation at affordable rates."< div> One resource we always recommen...


Defank Solicitors: The firm's official site is www.defanksolicitors.com but www.defanksolicitors.co.uk is not owned by them. For example, a Personal Injury case may have zero costs up front or even at the end of the case since lawyer fees are typically paid by the third party. Also don't...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: Large and Gibson claim to have been serving locally for over 120 years. However our poll two years ago showed that there is very low trust for reviews provided by the company themselves. class="infoquote "communication was great, always advising" "the team was reall...


HCR Legal LLP: But no matter what the size of a firm , checking up on them usually has some common things you can try. For example, while www.hcrlaw.co.uk redirects you to the main site, other variants such as www.hcrlegal.com are not currently owned by the firm. So you have to look up "h...


Horsley Law: That's more important than you might think as not all websites that take your details for a legal case are actual solicitors. 95% Cases Won. Pay special attention if the firm you're looking into handles property matters because they are often targeting by fraudsters and htt...

Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: class="infoquote "Over 10 years post qualification experience, gained within 2 regional and national law firms"< div> A quick note on navigation as the branding has quite a long official name. Also, while you may have gone through a dozen websites today of 'Con...


Amy King Legal: But how can a member of the public tell an experienced solicitor from a non-experience one? If a solicitor is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales you are able to look up alternate trading names, contact details, areas of law covered, and languages spoke...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: On the face of it this will make most people imagine a good 30 plus years of experience.

McCarthy + Co LLP: This offers huge advantages when trying to verify a law firm or look into which is best for you. That's tens of thousands of pounds at a time. Independent markers such as these can help identify firms that are well established and keen to show a higher quality status...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: If you have access to the possible services of 100,000 solicitors nationwide rather than just the few local law firms around you - surely you are better off? Yes, there is more choice. class="infoquote "Our dedicated team of lawyers are committed in deliverin...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: Even for property sales firms. So you may look at this firm's claim of starting in 2009 as indicating much less experience. If firm says they have been established for over 150 years for example, that doesn't mean there is a 150 year old guru solicitor sitting behind the de...


Sternberg Reed LLP: So what are prior customers saying? class="infoquote "couldn't speak highly enough of the service, professionalism and compassion" "got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured" "professional and reassuring from start to finish"< div> Those are a few snip...

WYM Legal Ltd: That's because conveyancing is one of the services where people are usually upset about something. However, when it comes to law firms we always recommend people read the actual reviews for context rather than flicking through only star ratings. class="infoquote "We...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: Beyond that, you have firms claiming to be 'local' which sounds great. The .com and other variants such as www.thomasandthomas.co.uk also do not bring the correct firm up. The same for anything in Scotland above the Edinburgh Glasgow line. For this firm you'll see the...


Wolf Law Solicitors: Sometimes the brief is to generate informative articles to educate consumers on a specific product or service. So many people have https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" handed their entire h...


SG Murphy Solicitors: Unless you put that in exactly you won't get to see even the few details https: www.lawsoc-ni.org sg-murphy-co-ltd411" the organisation does show< a>. If they all claim to be that way, then it doesn't help anyone to tell them apart. So what are the independent forums sayi...


Walker Foster Solicitors: But the Law Society also provides consumers with detailed information about each company. Ironically we review law firms. a long-established and respected general practice law firm founded in 1919, with offices in Skipton, Barnoldswick, Silsden, Settle, Ilkley, North...


Harrison's Solicitors: Property sales are also the only service we know of where people feel free to leave negative comments about the other side's firm complaining and even use review boards to threaten the other side to 'hurry up!' . This way you can check whether the firm does have genu...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: But most importantly they list the areas of law covered and qualification dates of each solicitor registered with them. But while those sales words sound good, they really don't help you distinguish one firm from another. They also https: girlingspersonalinjury.co.uk ne...


UVS Law: Each category has different requirements and eligibility criteria, and the application process may vary depending on the type of visa being sought. Individuals intending to enter the UK under the Immigration Rules must apply for entry clearance before traveling. https: www...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: It could mean as little as a 5 minute chat with a trainee solicitor or just a call centre operator with a templated questionnaire over the phone. It was all relevant stuff such as a pop up box to click to see those Trustpilot reviews, a chat dialogue pop up, a scrolling intr...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: That got us thinking. Of course, if the firm's website is down then there will be no testimonials pages for you to look through. Today's article is based on the firm Waterstone PS or Waterstone Partnership Solicitors to give it the full title. Many house buyers have handed ...


Mark Croft Solicitor: We've been working with law firms for over twenty years now and out of over 200 firms currently on our network, only 15 work with Legal Aid. At the time of writing the site was not https secure so it might be better to ring with your queries until this is sorted. A quick not...


EMD Law LLP: They do claim a long history with 'established in 1918' on the About Us page. There's plenty of experience within this law office with solicitor Robert Taylor having qualified in 1977 and Elizabeth Dumbleton in 1999. Certainly for legal services it will be the case that ...


Lyons Solicitors: For example if a solicitor states they have 20 years of experience, that's great. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 394386 lyons" look up the page< a> for this firm you'll see Edward Lyons qualified as a solicitor in 1976, Duncan Shaw in 1994, right up to ...

Frei Solicitors: class="infoquote "We determine our client’s objectives during the initial meeting, and always work towards our client’s timetable. This can be an entire firm that specialises in a certain case type, or a wider practice that has specialists for a few different cas...


Drummond Miller LLP: They are all still mostly positive and at the time of writing DM had a Google rating of 4.4 stars. Today's article however is on Drummond Miller. The Law Society of England & Wales has a huge user side pile of data for people to go through on any of their members including...


Calio Claims: So what can you use? Like most companies, Calio Claims provides client testamonials on their website. This is typically in larger cases such as Medical Negligence where a lot more time and risk have to be taken on by the firm. For anything else you'll probably be unde...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: The official site uses only the edclord part which is important to note because the firm handles property matters. The comments and reviews seem mostly positive: class="infoquote "took the time to explain the entire process clearly and concisely" "exceptionally he...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: Probably around 90% of the articles on this site are about firm's who are not current advertisers or paying us anything.

Wilford Smith Solicitors: So for Wilford Smith to have such a high positive profile on review sites is very encouraging.

Foster & Coleman Ltd: It's common for solicitors to make huge claims about ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1881' or even older. There were some comments available when we looked: class="infoquote "they have made me and my family very happy" "Outstanding service" "comit...


Wildcat Law Ltd: The official website we link to above is www.wildcatlaw.co.uk which is https secure for submitted your details in the contact form, but www.wildcatlaw.com does not redirect you there. You can hire a barrister yourself. That is very rare even now despite Direct Access havi...
