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:

Foster & Coleman Ltd: So what can you use to separate them and find the firm that fits your needs best? class="infoquote "Foster & Coleman are a dynamic law firm providing the very best advice and representation in relation to a wide range of practice areas."< div> This snippet fr...


Wildcat Law Ltd: class="infoquote "We understand that our clients often need meetings outside the traditional Monday to Friday 9-5"< div>. Today's article is on the legal firm Wildcat Law as there are a few things we can point out about this firm that might help you generally when s...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: For example, many people seek specialist firms for cases such as Motoring Offences, Divorce, and Conveyancing in the hope that the focused attention and specific experience will provide a better outcome in a swifter time. class="infoquote "LS Legal Solicitors is a m...


A City Law Firm Ltd: Some people have https: todaysconveyancer.co.uk conveyancing-fraud-red-flags " lost tens of thousands of pounds< a> by falling for a single official-looking email that said they needed to suddenly change the payee bank details.. So for any firm you're able to see for your...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: (Quite often not even from their own clients but from impatient buyers sellers on the opposite side!) class="infoquote "People often feel that Conveyancers get paid for doing very little. class="infoquote "Our friendly and approachable team are here to help you...

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 475767 goldsmith-bowers-ltd" the page for any firm< a> they will typically show you any alternate company names used, a list of staff, areas of law practiced, and the qualification dates of solicitors there. Whoe...


Guardian Law: Especially those with multiple offices. Plus this would also indicate they stay very much up to date with the huge number of changes constantly affecting businesses in the UK and internationally. That shouldn't cause too much confusion . We have consistently warned people a...


Backhouse Solicitors: At the time of writing this firm had 295 reviews on Google alone. (That's mighty praise from our Scottish firm!) It means that when you see statements like this (above) on a lawyer's website you can actually verify their claims about expertise and experience. cl...


WH Solicitors: That is not always an incorrect use of the word. class="infoquote "We're flexible with our fees with most cases – our fees are competitive and you will know in advance of what the fees will be."< div> This is mostly important to remember due to the https: s...


Two Harcourt Buildings: Thankfully the legal industry is modernising and progress is speeding up in some areas. Sadly, many of them do you not help you pick a firm. Especially if there isn't much extra independent information to base a decision on instead. . class="infoquote "Your case wil...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: It usually relates to the length of time the firm has been running or the highest number of years a specific lawyer at the firm has been working at the job. class="infoquote "call us today for a free, no obligation chat"< div> A quick note on navigation as there...


Bridge McFarland LLP: If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today looking for a good match for legal help , you'll probably be frustrated by the similar sounding sales language and even similar looking images. There are many resources available to you though and many thi...


Woodstock Legal Services: So when we came across Woodstock Legal Services it was a pleasant surprise to discover their setup, staff, and backgrounds could match some of the larger brandings we work with (and many we don't). People have been handing tens of thousands of pounds in deposits to fra...

Stephanie Heijdra: This is because a solicitor will often have to hire a barrister to do certain types of court work. You may see Stephanie listed on other related networks such as Clerksroom as well. class="infoquote "She is a level 3 OISC Immigration Caseworker and a Level 2 Law Socie...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: For some, the fact they use email sometimes is the pinnacle of their 'modern' achievements. For many the term 'Solicitor' still brings up the image of an old building in the centre of town and old men in old dusty wigs. Most of the variants we tried brought up the cor...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: So what indications are there that this firm is a better choice than others? class="infoquote "Our sole area of practice is immigration and therefore our expertise is up to date and thorough."< div> This may sound like another throw-away phrase any firm would ...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: So the fact Smith and Graham solicitors have a wide range of seasoned professionals alongside fresh blood is something much more of note. Sadly establishment dates are one of those marketing things companies with less-than-good-intentions misuse all the time. There is no a...


Brown and Co Solicitors: However there are two very important aspects to deal with from that sentence. All that said, we'll give the firm one last pitch-y quote on this page: class="infoquote "We aim to provide practical solutions to real-life problems."< div>. So what are people saying abo...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: If you check the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 455061 mackenzie-jones-solicitors-limited" pages on this firm< a> you'll be shown all office addresses, case types handled, alternative contact details, and most importantly - the specialties and ye...


Hill House Chambers: The Law Society of England & Wales provides this information on all solicitors which is great. Always take care on the internet as many legal matters are now being targeted by scammers due to the large amounts of money available. As Hill House Chambers puts it: class="...


Stowe Family Law: Many firms will have testimonials on their website, but as they tend to be only the best possible comments - people want to find those disgruntled customers to see if there are any common themes. The official firm name actually does have those generic industry terms of 'fa...


Rose Fendlen Law: It seems that communication is good and there is definitely some feedback about Rose Fendlen's goal of displaying geniune compassion for their clients. Discrimination Cases ... For example, a firm proudly saying they are 'modern' or 'friendly' doesn't strike us as particul...


Bell Lax Solicitors: For today's example we'll be using the Bell Lax Solicitor's website. It can even look as though they got all their website images from the same stock photo pile. If one firm says 'established in 1991', whilst another says '30 years experience as a solicitor', and another say...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: JPS https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 597491 jps-walker-solicitors-ltd" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is the best out of such organisations for user-side data. class="infoquote "I would just like to thank you for all you...


The Legal Practice Ltd: In our opinion the only 'years' number that matters is the number of years' experience the actual solicitor running your case has. So whilst other industries have moved on to the point where restaurants, technologies, and even just social media sites are favoured by their ne...


Youngs Solicitors: The whole firm and all staff can focus on a single area of law such as Motoring Offences - that's obvious specialism. Sometimes it's as little as having received an official looking email that said the bank details for payment have changed. We've even seen negative reviews b...


Lefevres Law: It's just that for Litigation matters, solicitors tend to list all the various types of injury separately. Sometimes even all the images look the same. That's a very positive sign and certainly backs up at least one of the claims we quoted earlier regarding their aims of p...


David Stinson & Co: The latter means that you have nothing to pay whether your case wins or loses . They are therefore obviously going to be very positive and sadly they rarely contain much helpful information about what the actual good points of the firm are. Some firms provide testimonials o...


Cooks Solicitors: So to see a simple claim based on the actual experience levels of the staff within a firm, displays a level of honesty and clarity that perhaps the majority of people will overlook. She is in charge of our Conveyancing department. That's because when it comes to any ...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Having the resources of a larger firm can also have advantages . But we always recommend reading actual comments rather than relying on simple star ratings when it comes to law firms. For example in Havant (near Portsmouth) they list a range of staff including Samanth...


My Law Matters: It can therefore be a good idea not to type important web addresses into the browser bar incase you make a mistake and succumb to a https: www.gov.uk report-suspicious-emails-websites-phishing" phishing< a> site too. Sometimes they operate using both the original and ne...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: Frazer Coogans Ltd is also registered to which again may sound like something most solicitors do, but they really don't. We've said it before but it's worth saying again ...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: Jordans Solicitors became QualitySolicitors Jordans. But this sort of mixup on the review boards is certainly something to keep in mind when doing some due diligence on law firms, not just Burton & Co. The idea being that they all work together to grow each other's businesse...


OneLaw Chambers: It also provides the qualification dates and specialties of each legal professional within a firm. There have been a lot of negative moves by the government over the past two decades that have impacted the ability for regular people to obtain justice. According to the law so...


Beers LLP: Unfortunately that needed to be said because there isn't much negative about Beers LLP for us to focus on. However, we ran a poll last year and only 8% of you responded that you trust company provided testimonials. If you've read through any of our other law firm cover ...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: There are firms that specialise in a single area of law, such as Criminal Defence. The main aim (we would hope) of housing claims is to get your living conditions improved. To summarise previous articles, there are three main types of setup when it comes to law firms and t...


Simper Law Ltd: In reality then, all the case types listed can be broken down into just three areas of law - Litigation, Estate Planning, and Commercial Law. You'll also be shown the qualification dates and specific case expertise of each solicitor within the firm. class="...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Normally this is done by simply emailing the client stating the bank details for payment have changed. 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. B...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: Reading between the lines, it's probably safe to assume they have confidence in their expertise and experience to handle such tasks. That in itself is a positive sign not to be dismissed . all came up with the same site. The simplest way to check on the expertise, experienc...


Taylor Price Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 596831 taylor-price-legal-limited" check out the info page< a> for any firm on there you'll be shown all office locations, alternative contact details, languages spoken, and the qualification dates and expertise of ea...


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. Because the firm deals with conveyancing matters we would recommend bo...


Milners Solicitors: So this is much more of a decent offer than it may first appear. The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen amongst such organisations. Be aware however that legal service providers are not treated the same way as other industries. To...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: There are a few other things that stand out about this firm over others as well. Whereas if a company says 'we have been helping people for over twenty years' that doesn't mean the person assigned to you will have twenty years' experience. If you're a thorough backgrou...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: There were also several comments about how fast the process had been whether for a property sale or immigration matter. The jack-of-all-trades situation. Why people fall for that and don't call their solicitor to check before sending tens of thousands of pounds - we don't kn...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: The official site we link to above is www.trojansolicitors.com but currently www.trojansolicitors.co.uk does not redirect there. The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. However you'll also see they han...


CEL Solicitors: It can also be hard to tell the various options apart at first glance with so many firms using trading names or practically identical looking websites. We therefore searched the various publications to check up on their claim. This may sound like it should be the standard fo...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: You'll may also see negative reviews from people who weren't even using the reviewed firm's services. That's because the majority of conveyancing firms have negative reviews. For example in the case of the firm we're writing about today ( Fulton's Solicitors & Estate A...
