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:

Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger companies as far as we can see. That's not something a company will often post on their own site. So what is available to help you distinguish one firm from another? class="infoquote "We have a highly profes...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: There is a firm showing up as GSB Properties in our background searches but that seems to be the old name for this same firm. Luckily when it comes to property matters, it's normally very easy to tell if a firm deals in the buying and selling of residential or commercial p...


England & Derbyshire LLP: That's not actually as easy to answer as you might think. What else can you check up on? Well, most firms make some sort of 'experience' claim. The SRA is the Solicitors Regulation Authority and you can see - this firm is https: www.sra.org.uk consumers register orga...


Nero Legal Ltd: It sounds great. If you search through a few other conveyancing firms in the UK, you'll see alot of them don't break 3 stars. The language and even the photos displayed can seem as though they all came from the same graphic designer. When people want to know whether the fir...


MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: If you are a company that deals with property or infrastructure though - you definitely will. Luckily, a range of options have become available that can really help people obtain swift, cost-effective help. class="infoquote "With no obligation or initial fee...

Crockett & Co Solicitors: But beyond simply specialising, the other thing most people want in their legal representative is experience. They also provide the qualification dates of each law professional registered. We have hundreds of law firms registered on our network and only a handful will accept...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: But people can call themselves a lawyer simply by acting on your behalf in a matter of law. In 25+ years of working in the legal industry, we've never seen such a firm. If the firm you are researching has several offices, this means Google makes you look up each individual ...


Cook Legal Ltd: With todays video chat and secure online document services, the majority of cases don't require you to have to visit a lawyer's office at all. class="infoquote "our solicitors in Wirral can provide clear, practical advice and work quickly and efficiently to help you...


TWB Probate Solicitors: The TWB site does have a blog section with a few articles such as regarding gifts made in contemplation of death (something practically every Scottish granny does from about the age of 70) and the importance of keeping good records. class="infoquote "TWB Proba...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: That can't possibly be true of course. With the birth of the internet, people can now choose from hundreds of thousands of legal service providers across the nation rather than being tied to their local high street law practice. So while the words themselves don't really t...


PCS Legal Ltd: Barristers with the Bar Standards Council. This resource may be a useful to bear in mind when trying to decide between conveyancers. Here are a few snippets from those sites: class="infoquote "explain everything in details and worked so fast" "very quickly un...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: Our goal is simple: to provide our clients with the service and experience in alternative dispute resolution as they would expect of seasoned legal professionals."< div> Summing up the wide range of alternative options involved in this process in a few sentences is d...


Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: It's the only way you'll get a proper picture. We see many legal practices touting 'established in' dates with the obviously intention of implying they are more experienced and well-established than others. We even see firms claiming to be a mixture of expectations such as l...

Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: So keep aware.. class="infoquote "you will have direct access to your own solicitor who will be available to guide you every step of the way"< div> Again, this is another phrase people might overlook as most assume they will be able to talk to their solicitor ab...


Solidaire Solicitors: One positive benefit of the internet has been the rise in specialist law firms . Those are both good and varied levels of experience to have within a firm. But you've probably seen most law firms claiming to offer 'bespoke' services and promise a 'positive outcome'. So a re...


Defank Solicitors: The easiest way to spot the difference is by searching the bottom of the firm's website. There are hundreds of websites out there pretending to look like an official law firm when they are actually simply gathering people's case details to sell on to solicitors. For all you ...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: class="infoquote "communication was great, always advising" "the team was really helpful and responsive" "systematic and efficient which ensured a speedy hassle free experience" "very quick responses to any queries"< div> At the time of writing they had 20...


HCR Legal LLP: One issue people might encounter at the moment is Google has separated the reviews so that you can only view reviews of each individual office. class="infoquote "We put our trust in the medical professionals who look after us. Often you can see themes in both ...


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. Pay special attention if the firm you're looking into handles property matters because they are often targeting by fraudsters and https: www.ncsc.g...


All Law Ltd: Currently, we are helping clients with their Wills, Probate, Divorce and Conveyancing needs."< div> One of the best independent resources we are always recommending to people is The Law Society of England & Wales. So it might be an idea to bookmark the site if you ...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: Unlike divorce, criminal law, or a will - with a property sale, 99% of the time someone is frustrated with how it's going. However, if you already know there might be legal issues surrounding your sale such as a boundary dispute or if the sellers are getting divorced - then ...


Amy King Legal: If it was an award for best logo design, then that's not really helpful towards picking them as a legal representative. https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 6540 amy-jane-king" In this case< a> you can see Amy King qualified in 1995. The idea being that the older a ...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: For law firms there may be far less reviews than you expect. So when you see Heritage Park offering out of hours appointments - that is something helpful other firms may not be offering. As you can see the majority are positive . The main source people turn to when ...


McCarthy + Co LLP: We had an issue trying to get reviews to come up on Google's site. But every little helps. The official site is www.mccarthy.ie but domain attempts containing mccarthy&co or mccarthy+co will return an error or generate search results depending on your browser. Independent ...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: A selection of seasoned minds with hopefully some fresh eyes mixed in? class="infoquote "kept fully informed at all times" "Very professional and to the point" "very professional and positive experience" "excellent service, communication and great results"< div>...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: While many will offer customer testimonials on their website, the overwhelming majority prefer to get their client feedback from the independent forums such as Google, Trustpilot and Facebook. Unless there is a firm out there saying the like to use 'complicated English', are...


Sternberg Reed LLP: So what independent facts can you rely on to work out the best firm for you? class="infoquote "For the past 40 years, we have offered a wide range of legal services to both individuals and businesses."< div> Again, most firms will state a number of years on th...


Eatons Solicitors: So how can you tell whether the firm, or your individual solicitor, has a good level of experience? class="infoquote "Each of our partners brings a wealth of knowledge and unique expertise"< div> The firm does have a https: www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk our-pa...


WYM Legal Ltd: That's because conveyancing is one of the services where people are usually upset about something. Stating you are 'ranked No.1 for speed of closing in the North West of Scotland' - that could be very useful information. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 59...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd: That's actually a bigger deal than you might think. Certainly those are dates for which the firm can reasonably claim both 'experience' and 'fresh ideas'. Remember that ampersands can't be used in web addresses so www.thomas&thomassolicitors.co.uk will bring up an error or r...


Wolf Law Solicitors: Sometimes just because an official-looking email came through saying to quickly change the bank details the deposit goes into. If one firm says they will charge a 'success fee' of 25% while another says they will give you 100% of the compensation - there will be a temptation...


SG Murphy Solicitors: If they all claim to be that way, then it doesn't help anyone to tell them apart. Those are all great things to be as a law firm, but certainly there are no firms claiming to be the opposite. That's quite unusual though for a firm that deals with property. For today's arti...


Walker Foster Solicitors: You need to be extra vigilant when it comes to property matters and ensure you are on the correct website and talking to a genuine staff member. A quick note on navigation. Remember, at one point people believed smoking was good for you. That does not dismiss the gre...


Harrison's Solicitors: So you need to be really careful and ensure you are on the correct site because property matters are one of the https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" highest targeted areas of law when it co...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: You can read more about that phenomenon local here< a>. Girlings certainly comes under that description so 'specialist solicitors' is a deserved term in this instance. That's much rarer than you might think. We're referring to the fact Girlings Solicitors has a sep...


UVS Law: You could end up with a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 50-year established firm, or a 40-year veteran lawyer from a brand new law office. https: www.legislation.gov.uk ukpga 1971 77 contents" The Act< a> also exempts individuals who have the right of abode in the UK fr...


Kee Solicitors Ltd: But the 'high street solicitor office' handling a wide range of cases was more common. The Kee one clearly says a solicitor will call you back. Certainly we've seen hundreds of legal professional sites with 'make a free enquiry' above the contact form, but that doesn't alw...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: For example, for Waterstone they list solicitors Rayhan Ahmed who qualified in 2009, Akeel Hussain (2015), and others right up to Akaash Hussain who joined the profession in 2021. For example if you see any firm stating 'established in 1881' or any other such ancient foundin...


Mark Croft Solicitor: class="infoquote "I have been involved in the criminal justice system for over 28 years."< div> First is this quote above from Mark Croft's website. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 452404 mark-croft-solicitor?Solicitors=True" lo...


EMD Law LLP: But all these changes and niche specialisations firms can now focus on thanks to being able to market their services online to a wider audience - has never negated the need for the standard 'high street' style solicitor's office. But there's also some fresh eyes helpin...


Lyons Solicitors: Lyons makes no such claim. In the middle of this are firms with multiple solicitors, each specialising in one or two areas of law. That's a big difference, but at first glance they may look the same. Because some can be quite sneaky about it. But this is where our reco...


Brian Barr Solicitors: It provides a wealth of information on any of the firms and people registered with them including trading names, alternative contact details, other offices, regulatory status, plus the qualification dates and chosen areas of law for each solicitor within a firm. There is onl...


Frei Solicitors: People are simply not as quick to rush online and discuss how their criminal arrest, messy divorce, life changing injury, or child custody matter went compared to, for example, the pizza they just ordered. For any given area we might displays results for a general high stree...


Drummond Miller LLP: These snippets above are from a Drummond Miller testimonial page and whilst all the comments are clearly going to be positive (we've seen only one firm that posted both positive and negative reviews on their own site) they don't actually tell you much about the past client...


Calio Claims: But on the Law Society of Scotland's website the https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=lindsays&Postcode=&type=firm" search function is very limited< a> and doesn't always match well. That's why we always recommend people read the actual comments and never ju...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: The website also features profiles of the firm's lawyers , with detailed biographies and information about their areas of expertise. 'edc lord and co solicitors southall'. The official site uses only the edclord part which is important to note because the firm handl...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: Seasoned heads but with fresh eyes , so to speak. Unfortunately there are a limited number of colours, images, and ways to express professionals doing a professional job. At the moment there are not too many scams involved the case types NJS focus on - i.e. That will also g...
