The Legal Practice Ltd: If you type those three words into a search engine, the correct firm does come up top .

Youngs Solicitors: The number of case types it covers is almost as small as the number of people that can claim the help these days. So it's essentially a collection of specialists within one office. The situation is almost as bad as trying to find and NHS dentist in this country.

David Stinson & Co: Some firms provide testimonials on their website which are comments they've typically obtained by direct request and often using a full feedback form with specific questions. We love case studies on a law firm's website. That can be a trickier claim to navigate and we've be...

My Law Matters: But as long as the separate branding efforts have been strong (as Fentimans seem to have done with theirs), you should be able to check out reviews on the team you will be using plus the main firm behind it without any issues.
class="infoquote "Our head office was e...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: It's one of those marketing jargon phrases that sounds great but essentially could be said by any firm. Sometimes even DURING the house purchase as if it will somehow hurry their solicitor up. This statement:
class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans encourage staff to gain the...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: The QS site is https secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms.

DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There are firms that specialise in a single area of law, such as Criminal Defence. Many people assume that every litigation firm or compensation claim advertising lawyer will take on such cases - but they simply don't. If you see that sort of post alongside no stated company...
Simper Law Ltd: But it goes without saying that you can end up with a 1-year-qualified, completely inexperienced solicitor from a 200-year-old law firm just the same as you could get a 40-year-guru lawyer from a 1-year-old firm. So what are previous clients saying about the firm? The snip...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Normally you will be asked to sign an insurance document to cover the costs of your case. A 200-year-old firm might still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. That means should the case lose, the insurance policy pays your solicitor for the work they did. Yes, if the fi...

Taylor Price Solicitors:
There are plenty of things to pick out though that could make a difference to your decision. Word like 'friendly', 'efficient' or 'modern' pop up constantly but don't really help to distinguish that firm from their competitors. Two, this also seems to be valid for their...

CEL Solicitors: The logos of each publication are there, but we couldn't see any links to click and confirm what it meant. So to see CEL stating something that turned out to be both true AND not jargon-twisted - is a much bigger deal for us than you might think!

Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents:
class="infoquote "Our experienced team is both dependable and professional."< div>
When we see statements like this one when putting together an article on a more southern firm, we can simply go to the England Wales Law Society website and look up the experience ...

At the moment https: www.halifax.co.uk aboutonline security protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" most scams involving law firm clients< a> tend to revolve around pr...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: It's when people mistype directly into a browser bar that things can sometimes go wrong. Some firms will give you 15 mins, some may charge a reduced fee for an initial consultation, and some may offer you a good hour but with a very junior member of staff - i.e. Just remembe...
Mckie Legal:
A quick note on navigation considering the related names as we even saw three different addresses for the firm popping up. The second means no fees whether case your case loses OR wins. Hence the popular no win, no fee slogan across all their websites.
That may s...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: There are no 200-year-old solicitors sitting behind desks at these anciently established firms imparting guru knowledge to the rest of the staff. Again, you would think this to be common practice amongst all firms.
So for Jacobs to be unafraid in posting such a "new" s...
Argue & Co Legal: Litigation issues tend to follow the same pattern though and most Personal Injury firms will cover the majority of types. The legal industry genuinely is one where the wheels of progress and modernisation turn a lot slower. And even a one star rating for a firm having moved ...
Springle & Co Solicitors: Two, in legal matters people usually don't get everything they want, so many reviews are negative even if the solicitor did everything correctly. So please bear with us for a second on this article whilst we do a little foundation-setting. Not just the firm's name. One last ...
BLZ Solicitors: But on scrolling through the personal background information it quickly turns out to actually be quite relevant . Not their secretary or junior staff who joined the firm yesterday. But you never know what they'll think of next. You have to remember that your solicitor and t...
Hawkridge & Company: The official website we link to above is www.hawklaw.co.uk with www.hawklaw.com being about some WWII land renovation project. They involve sometimes lengthy co-operation and the maintenance of certain high standards . Frankly many issues are totally outside your solicitor'...

ABS Lawyers Ltd: You can easily end up with a 1-year qualified lawyer from a 200-year old firm. This brings us to one of the main reasons we were very keen to have ABS Lawyers Ltd on our network . There are other options provided by non-solicitor backed companies, or charities, either indep...
Stenfield Solicitors: 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. This includes Joan Thorpe-Anderson who qualified in 1993, Caspar Kennedy in 2008, Deepa Sevani in 2015, and so on. Especially w...
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. That's a ridiculously simplistic example, but it hopefully conveys the general point. For all we know their award could be for best l...

Bilkus & Boyle: For example, the review we saw criticising a Criminal Law firm for refusing to take on someone's Divorce case. For example, here is the opening message on the Bilkus and Boyle website. it almost makes them meaningless. The opposite is also true as Bilkus & Boyle have a 5 st...
Catteralls Solicitors: Spending all day on the phone repeating the same (often upsetting) story to several solicitors is not ideal.

Penerley Lawyers: More recently though the number of people starting up their own small business or being self-employed has risen dramatically.
