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:

Bell Lax Solicitors: But absolutely no solicitor should charge you any fees for running the case or if the case loses. If you check out the page for this firm you'll see a range of experienced staff covering almost all of the last three decades. For today's example we'll be using the Bell ...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: If you're someone with a less than perfect memory then, it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site for coming back to later. . However we've recently discovered that case studies on a law firm's website go down very well with potential clients too. No win, n...


The Legal Practice Ltd: If someone calls saying they are from your solicitor's office and you don't recognise the person - never feel uncomfortable about saying you're going to hang up and ring them back on the official phone number you have. There is also a huge amount of people that leave negativ...


Youngs Solicitors: The https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 563652 young-and-co-solicitors-limited" pages about this firm< a> are quite mixed up with every office being called Young & Co Solicitors but with contact details and web addresses of alternative brandings mixed...


Lefevres Law: But if your case wins the solicitor you hire may take a cut of your settlement. class="infoquote "At Lefevres we have access to a number of different funding solutions that can be tailored to the requirement of our clients and are happy to discuss this in greater detai...

David Stinson & Co: However for smaller more simple cases such as a two week whiplash injury as a passenger in a car accident - we would not expect the lawyer to take any part of your compensation. This is called a 'conditional fee arrangement' and is normally around 25% of your settlement. Som...


Cooks Solicitors: So make sure to read the reasons for any negative rating that has been left. For example those firms stating 'founded in 1881' or even older dates. class="infoquote "We are a strong believer in explaining things simply and fighting for clients who have a good case."< d...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: If you want more specific information about your local office, you need to include the town name when you search - e.g. The above are snippets from the firm's own testimonial page. I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. There were ...


My Law Matters: When it comes to legal services, often the losing side in a case will leave a bad review. That can be a huge help because for some reason, law firms are quite obsessed with quoting founding dates. My Law Matters do display customer reviews on their website: class="in...


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. qualified as a Solicitor in 2020"< div> That's the two ends of the exp...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: We've always said that you can end up with a 1-year-experienced lawyer from a 200-year-old firm the same as you can get a forty-year-experience expert from a 1-year-old firm. All cards on the table - we like Burton & Co . The official website for all QS firms is www.quality...


OneLaw Chambers: 'one' and 'law') most search terms will bring up the firm at the top of results. prides itself in being accessible, user-friendly and innovative legal service"< div> Most law firms make claims like the one quoted above from the OneLaw website. That may sound like a larg...


Beers LLP: Whilst most of the time people may think of specialist firms as handling only one area of law such as Criminal or Divorce matters - these days it is very common for a firm to cover a wider range of case types but simply have individual solicitors within the group assigned ...

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. . class="infoquote "De...


Simper Law Ltd: Our article today is about Simper Law which turns out to be much more of a unique offering than expected. But the main reason people probably prefer the third party independent review boards is that they will also include any negative reviews. It also has a few quirks that...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Currently neither www.rmsolicitors.co.uk or www.reynoldsmacdonald.co.uk seems to be owned by the firm. Reynolds Macdonald are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have the most useful and info-packed user side database we know of. ...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: A quick note on navigation. ULA list positive quotes from peers on their site, which is something we would consider to be much better than customer testimonials. But the fact they still work with Legal Aid at all these days is something very unique. The most importa...


Taylor Price Solicitors: that handles nothing by those case types in the hope this gives them the best chance (i.e. class="infoquote "Our areas of litigation expertise include contract disputes, professional negligence claims, debt recovery, intellectual property, defamation, partnership dispu...


Michael Leighton Jones: A 200 year old firm could still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. Here at 1to1Legal we've been reviewing legal companies for over twenty years and have written hundreds of articles on them and the subject of law marketing. The official website is the full www.m...


Milners Solicitors: Variants such as www.milnerssolicitors.com or .co.uk also are not related. The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen amongst such organisations. We always recommend reading actual comments rather than flicking through ratings anyway wh...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: One thing to watch for is the wording. I aim to offer home visits, and, where possible, evening and weekend appointments."< div> You would think in this day and age that legal services would have moved on from the 9-5, Mon-Fri rigid opening hours that dominated the lega...


Branch Austin LLP: For example, at the time of writing the firm lists Steven Gardner who qualified as a solicitor back in 1970, Tania Austin (qualified in 1984), Harender Branch (1999), Hal Branch (2001), Elliot Hammer (2014), right up to Sheida Zeinali who qualified in 2021. We've even seen n...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "We have expertise at all levels of immigration."< div> Reading through the firm's website there are several statements like this along with clarifications about how well they are acquainted with the immigration system in the UK. The majority di...


CEL Solicitors: Even though those are both types of litigation case - the disparity between the number of firms willing to help for each is quite staggering . Can you check up on such things? Well, yes. class="infoquote "We operate 99% paper free, unless the court or our clients ...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: They can also arrange to meet you in their sister firm's Gildeas' offices in either Glasgow or Edinburgh city centres if that's better.. Why is that important to realise? Because for several years now https: www.whatmortgage.co.uk feature aware-risks-mortgage-deposit-...


HooperHyde: Sadly, some businesses use marketing jargon to try and cover up when they don't have a good deal of experience. class="infoquote "We're not stuck in our ways, we'll find the best solution for you and your legal challenges."< div> There are literally (and I'm using...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: Antony Hodari himself qualified in 1981, Emma Rees in 2000, right up to Rozina Bibi who qualified in 2017. We always recommend taking a quick look at the local law society page for any firm you're thinking of using. It certainly does help to have someone very interes...


Fair Result Ltd: As if on seeing 'established in 1821' on a law firm's site, the general public will believe a 200 year old solicitor is sat on a throne somewhere in the office imparting sage advice to junior members. That's where we saw that the firm was pretty new. We try to provide inform...


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. So when Dylan Nair make a public statement on their site like this, it's not someth...


Mckie Legal: Usually with just a single email too, which is disturbingly easy . So make sure to read actual comments of any reviews when it comes to lawyers rather than just flicking through star ratings. Most scammers target law firm clients that will be making a payment to thei...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: You'd think that would be a universal trait by now, but it's not. A different firm we reviewed yesterday had several online complaints about spending most of their time talking to their solicitor's secretary. In this instance that's "Jacobs Law Solicitors Birmingham". "Asead...


Argue & Co Legal: Also some cases such as medical negligence will always have success fees due to their complexity. The legal industry genuinely is one where the wheels of progress and modernisation turn a lot slower. Be clear though: no win, no fee only means that if you lose there are no fe...


Springle & Co Solicitors: By reducing wasteful overheads, we can improve personal client service. At the time of writing we could not get any reviews to pop up on Google for Springle's clients. One, people are less likely to jump online and write a review about their divorce, will, or sexual harrasme...


BLZ Solicitors: So unfortunately, this phrase has become quite meaningless in relation to indicating what the firm does differently. www.blzsolicitors.co.uk is the official site we link to above and currently www.blzsolicitors.com doesn't seem to be owned by anyone. That's something t...


Hawkridge & Company: They involve sometimes lengthy co-operation and the maintenance of certain high standards . Very often a bunch of the negative reviews will be from the client of the other party. So what should you look out for? One thing that often bugs us is when a firm says they a...


Pacific Law: This is because whilst people are very happy to jump online and give praise about their new toaster - they are less likely to rush to a public forum to discuss how their recent divorce, will writing, criminal defence, or bankruptcy went. Many firms since the pandemic ...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: Lastly there are firms that write statements such as the one from ABS Lawyers' site above saying they have X amount of years of 'combined experience'. That means we try to provide a range of various solutions AND firms that can provide them. Just narrowly beating Wels...


Stenfield Solicitors: Never discuss payments or bank details via email and remember that even the most official looking email addresses can be faked. Not to mention that Trustpilot's rating calculations mean that a firm with four 5 star reviews will end up with an average of 3 stars total. Howe...


Khan Law: The quote above is from the Khan Law website and, in our opinion, is being used appropriately. There is also a Khan Mather, Aina Khan Law, Ali Khan Law, and more. So Khan Law clearly stating the actual award is therefore quite a rarity and should not be overlooked. We wou...


DV Solicitors: But there are no 200 year old solicitors imparting wisdom. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside new fresh blood. A few articles back we covered a law firm that had a 5 star review for being such a great dog-friendly restaurant. However both www.deovolente.com and www.d...


Richmond Legal Ltd: Therefore whilst the case range across this particular firm isn't wholly niche - it is still limited and therefore you would expect the solicitors within the practice to have considerable knowledge in these two areas. Sometimes just with a couple of official looking emails. ...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on giving the best support service available and are dedicated to delivering the right solution for you."< div> Experience and expertise don't automatically make a good lawyer. The most common reason is the expectation of more...


Bilkus & Boyle: They may very well assign a one year qualified newbie solicitor to handle your legal matter. Typically one side is always unhappy at how a sale has gone either due to timescale, delays with finance, things popping up during the search phase, and so on. So when we say B&B hav...


Catteralls Solicitors: Spending all day on the phone repeating the same (often upsetting) story to several solicitors is not ideal. For example, one firm we've written about previously claims a 150-year-history in the area simply because they moved into a building that was occupied by a much older...


Penerley Lawyers: Whilst people are very happy to talk about their local hairdresser online - they are not so eager to discuss their divorce, bankruptcy or probate litigation. Unfortunately this has not really spread to law firms as much as everywhere else. There's therefore been quite...


The Search Bureau: But that's the case for most related service providers such as this conveyancing searches company or others such as law costs drafting firms. class="infoquote "Using our powerful IT systems we are able to streamline the whole search process so you can not only view co...


Education Law Service Ltd: Therefore the number of firms helping in those areas are much fewer . Its lack of publicity is strange though because there are so many children within the UK involved with such setups and who could also use the help of a law firm with skills in this area. and in phone co...
