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:

David Stinson & Co: We've already covered two branding options within this law firm's group, but David Stinson & Co is a slightly different one. class="infoquote "We work on road accident claims and workplace accident claims among others on a no win no fee basis."< div> All law offi...


Cooks Solicitors: You can get a 1-year newbie lawyer from a three hundred year old firm or a 40-year guru lawyer from a one year old firm. Not their own clients. Regular variants such as www.cookssolicitors.co.uk or www.cooks-solicitors.com are not owned by the firm which is important to not...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Since the 90s the government has gutted the Legal Aid system reducing the number of people that can use it, the number of case types it will cover, and the amount of money a solicitor can earn from it. Then the article before that one was on a huge network of firms that sti...


My Law Matters: The official site we link to above is www.mylawmatters.co.uk but www.mylawmatters.com does not redirect you there. Fentimans https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 1229 fentiman-legal-limited" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales wh...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: led Frazer Coogans into rapid expansion to be one of the leading firms in the West Coast of Scotland."< div> It's hugely common for companies to claim they are 'one of the leading' in something. The LawScot site only provides search results with a

QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: All cards on the table - we like Burton & Co . (Hence us bringing it to your attention here.) Obviously we would never tell anyone that a specific firm is the right one for them. Whilst most of our articles are about individual firms along with the pros cons and things that...


OneLaw Chambers: 'one' and 'law') most search terms will bring up the firm at the top of results. It's not common knowledge, but not all solicitors are qualified to go into court and argue cases. Direct Access, or Public Access as it's sometimes known, allows members of the public to...


Beers LLP: A quick note on navigation as whilst the firm's name is quite unique, it could potentially peek a little into generic term issues. For example at Beers you'll see solicitors such as Paul Housego who qualified in 1978, Richard Jones (qualified 1996), Helen O'Leary (2009)...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There are plenty of things we might change about the legal industry, but all in all - CMCs still have a place in it just as much as search engines, directories, and even small local referral setups like ours in order to get people legal help. . To summarise previous artic...


Simper Law Ltd: The most common error we spotted was people searching for 'simple law ltd' and related variants. For example if several people have said that they struggle to get through and speak to their solicitor - that's something to bear in mind and compare with. Last year we ran a pol...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 464412 reynolds-macdonald" check out the page< a> for any firm on their site you should be able to see all office locations, any alternate trading names, languages spoken, case specialties, and the qualification dates...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: They even listed the fact they work with Legal Aid clearly on their funding options page. The main resource people check out for this is the public review boards such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, Trustpilot, Yell.com and so on. But the fact they still work with Legal Ai...


Taylor Price Solicitors: TaylorPrice Solicitors https: taylorprice.co.uk our-team.html" tick all those boxes< a> and have avoided going over the top such as listing their pet's names and favourite film titles. Nine times out of ten this will be a gambit to make people think there is a huge amount...

Michael Leighton Jones: So hopefully in this article we'll be able to point out some differences you can look for between the lines and some resources you might not be aware of to help when you're making your selection. There are still plenty of firms out there that will charge a consultation fe...


Milners Solicitors: Normally such testimonials are created from written responses to some sort of customer service feedback form. So this is much more of a decent offer than it may first appear. We just mean that when people think of a high-street, local solicitor firm - Milner's is ex...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: Most of the alternate searches we did such as 'krs wills' and 'krs probate' still brought up the correct firm. The official site which we link to above is www.krsep.co.uk with www.krsep.com not redirecting there. That could allow other firms and even clickbait sites (wh...


Branch Austin LLP: The majority of people search the third party review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp, etc. There were a couple of negative ratings, but unfortunately the reviewers left absolutely no comments for us to know what generated their disappointment. But we'll com...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: As mentioned before though, whilst the firm is 'new' ( https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 11417981" having gone Limited in 2018< a>) we take that as a potentially positive attribute . But aside from the various options of legal professi...


CEL Solicitors: So what can highlight a difference? class="infoquote "As featured in Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Times, This is Money ..."< div> CELSolicitors makes this large and bold claim across the centre of their main page regarding their firm being featured in several we...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: The biggest conveyancer in the UK which we reviewed last week has a Google rating of just 3.1 stars at the time of writing. You'll may also see negative reviews from people who weren't even using the reviewed firm's services. Obviously there will be people trying a wid...


HooperHyde: As stated above though, for legal services that should not be taken as a negative sign. There are many case types where people tend to seek out specialist firms almost to the avoidance of general practice firms. We try to provide a range of possible solutions to poin...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: Antony Hodari himself qualified in 1981, Emma Rees in 2000, right up to Rozina Bibi who qualified in 2017. When it comes to legal firms we absolutely recommend reading reviews rather than flicking through star ratings alone. If you check on https: solicitors.lawsoci...


Fair Result Ltd: However if both sides simply want to get it over with and find the fairest way out - FairResult believe their services will save you considerable time and money. We also know all the industry specific marketing jargon a lot of lawyers use. A big part of their setup seems to ...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: So whilst someone might be very quick to jump online and talk about a pizza they just ordered - they may be more reluctant to discuss how well their dead father's contentious probate went. John Houghton at this firm qualified in 1975, Rajesh Nair in 1999, right up to...


Mckie Legal: 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 another law firm (Scott Rees). For example https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conve...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: There are many other overly used marketing terms such as "friendly", "traditional", and everything being of "paramount" importance. You can get a 40-year-expert lawyer at a 1-year-old newly set up brand where the paint on the walls is still wet. class="infoquote "Our...


Argue & Co Legal: However it's easy to imagine getting lost in the numbers at a large firm as well. On one hand they imagine a larger firm will have larger resources to draw on and bigger 'clout' against third parties . We've seen the most absurd negative reviews against solicitors. So what ...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Hopefully, however, this is something you've thought about before this point. Not just the firm's name. I'd received very short term advice which would have been great had I died within five years. Plus more and more people are owning their own business which brings an ent...


BLZ Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. So unfortunately, this phrase has become quite meaningless in relation to indicating what the firm does differently. But on scrolling through the personal background information it quickly turns out to actually be quite relevant . In our opi...


Hawkridge & Company: Frankly many issues are totally outside your solicitor's control such as land searches, mortgage applications and so on. This is important to note because in any property transaction there is usually at least one person unhappy with either the speed, cost, or issues that cam...


Pacific Law: As we said, this is a new firm. When reviews do start popping up though (and even in your searches of any company really) you need to take the time to read through comments. However the risks are minimal as the majority of scams involved the legal industry https: www....


ABS Lawyers Ltd: In this case, the solicitors certainly aren't 'green'. If not, try searching for a more local law society such as at the county or city level. class="infoquote "We are also able to deal with Polish speaking clients and can help ensure legal documents are properly unde...


Stenfield Solicitors: class="infoquote "Specialising in a wide range of practice areas including commercial litigation, company commercial, residential property, commercial property, insolvency, employment and family."< div> One good place to start is a local law society website. A las...


Khan Law: If you've already been through a dozen websites of law firms today, you'll probably have been disheartend at just how similar they all seem. class="infoquote "excellent at navigating me through my injury claim" "took care of all the legal hassle and fought hard to...


DV Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our top-notch legal services are not limited to UK residents, but we are also delivering superior legal affair services for Pakistani citizens."< div> As just mentioned, we were looking for firms with international reach. Far better than most ot...


Richmond Legal Ltd: That's because not all Immigration firms deal with clients the same. Every single legal professional will state they provide expert legal advice . Most people may not know just how badly the goverment has stripped Legal Aid both in reach and in funding. The information prov...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales is actually one of the best we've seen for this sort of user-focused data provision. Words like 'modern', 'fresh', and 'friendly' appear practically everywhere making them meaningless as a result. Rather than simply only doing the one cas...


Bilkus & Boyle: But the client will generally blame their own solicitor. The opposite is also true as Bilkus & Boyle have a 5 star review for serving excellent food and being a dog friendly restaurant. (Yes, it's that comparable.) So a firm still willing to work with people who can't affo...


Catteralls Solicitors: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified newbie solicitor from a one hundred year old practice as you are to get a twenty year well-seasoned solicitor from a one year old law firm brand. In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind...


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. class="infoquote "At Penerley we are committed to providing the best possible level of service to our clients."< div>. For some ...


The Search Bureau: Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. class="infoquote "We know that our clients want a hassle free and transparent service and that is exactly what we have designed."< div>. The correct firm tends to come up at the top of search resu...


Education Law Service Ltd: Sometimes the only way to ensure your child gets the correct care is to get the legal system of the country to push back against the education system. The official website we link to above is www.educationlawservice.com and www.educationlawservice.co.uk will redirect you t...


Pump Court Chambers: So choosing one is just as much a point of discernment as any other law firm selection. She really made me feel at ease" "Matthew was on hand at all times and took me through each step of the process" "Very impressed with the service provided by Richard Wayman duri...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: 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 browser made the page 'jump' rather than change. Did that mean we skipped over the usual checks? Of course not. One of the solicitors retired...


Lindsays Solicitors: So in true internet-style, those people came onto the review boards to bad-mouth the firm assigned to sell the property. But one thing that impressed us about Lindsays is the same sort of lack-of-boasting as we saw with their testimonials page before. A quick note on...


Aspire Licensing: There is a firm called Aspire Law but that's a totally different group with their own website. However even then there are options such as hiring a barrister through the new Direct Access scheme instead of going through a solicitor. But that's what you'd expect from a firm t...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: Common errors we would expect such as dropping the extra 's' (i.e. And there doesn't seem to be any other firms with similar names to cause confusion. That's like leaving a bad review for McDonalds for not selling pizza. For some reason we can't quite fathom, the buyers sell...
