Editorials on UK Legal Companies
Farah Family Law: Like many perfectly good words in the English language, the word "specialist" has been ruined by marketing firms. So don't dismiss any offer to talk first. It does, but if you're not really a specialist - should you be using it? We think there are only two setups whi...
Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: This is incredibly useful for checking whether the solicitor you are speaking to or the one going to be assigned to your case has the experience and expertise to do the job. class="infoquote "Communication is the key to the excellent level of client service that we...
Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: Their claim of 30 years' experience though may sound small https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company SC507024 officers" in comparison< a> to some firms claiming decades and even centuries of experience on their websites. But most people prefer to b...
England & Derbyshire LLP: Therefore adding extra terms such as "solicitors" or "guildford" may be a good idea . That's not actually as easy to answer as you might think.

Nero Legal Ltd: Which is quite striking because when we checked, they had a 4.5 star rating with https: www.google.com search?q=nero+legal+glasgow&oq=nero+legal+glasgow&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyEAgBEC4YrwEYxwEYgAQYjgUyCggCEAAYgAQYogQyCggDEAAYgAQYogQyCggEEAAYgAQY...
MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd:
The only resource people can use in these situations tends to be reviews. There does seem to be a mirror of the site on mpg-group.consulting but we would recommend bookmarking the main site if you plan on returning. Often testimonials supplied by the firm are not take...
Crockett & Co Solicitors: It should be noted though, that there are various ways a firm might refer to themselves as a 'specialist' . The number of people in the UK that might qualify and the number of case types it applies to is dwindling.
Despite the firm's branding being 'Crockett & Co' y...
Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: Most companies will state they have huge numbers of satisfied clients. Therefore while your local takeaway might have hundreds of reviews , your local solicitor might only have a handful.
class="infoquote "Comprehensive, easy to understand and efficient legal servi...

TWB Probate Solicitors: For example, in some cases you may be better off with an accountant or a barrister rather than a solicitor. Not just for your chances of obtaining the result you want, but for cost as well. However, considering the changes governments can make and even the huge difference be...
Brodies LLP Solicitors: Directories often cram in as many firms as possible from each industry and area. So those words are pretty much meaningless. Hopefully it's apparent that 1to1Legal is not just another directory of law firms.

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: Our 1to1Legal website never asks you for your personal details and does not sell your information on.

Solidaire Solicitors: It's not always easy with Google. Make sure any firm you are thinking of using has https: www.sra.org.uk " an SRA number< a> listed on their site. Things like this are important to note as there is https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" a lot of fraud< a> targetin...

McCarthy + Co LLP: Never, ever discuss payments via email and call the person you normally deal with to ask if any change is valid. But searches for variations of the firm's name on it's own will provide no local business information. That's tens of thousands of pounds at a time. If they have ...

Kee Solicitors Ltd: The firm does link to a testimonial page on their site, but it looks as though it has a built-in display of their Trustpilot reviews. The property conveyancing market has been plagued for years by scammers https: www.thisismoney.co.uk money mortgageshome article-3385825 Sa...
Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: Common sense dictates there will not be a 200-year-old wise old lawyer running the place.

Mark Croft Solicitor: So that could be 5 members of staff each with only 4 years of experience.

Brian Barr Solicitors: Certainly you can't get a balanced range of comments as no firm we've seen ever posts their negative feedback on their website alongside the positive.

Frei Solicitors: This brings us to today's tip which is not to judge a law firm by the number of reviews. The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or maybe bookmark the site if coming back later? The site is HTTPS secure for submi...
