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:

Smith and Graham Solicitors: class="infoquote "always available when we had questions" "Fair priced and transparent in their dealings" "responsive and always kept me updated with the developments of the case"< div> The independent review boards were mainly positive comments like this...


Brown and Co Solicitors: Other variants such as www.brownandco.co.uk take you to completely different firms and you can't have ampersands in web addresses so a www.brown&co.co.uk entry in the browser bar for example will result in an error or a search results page being shown. Our poll from a few ye...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: 'mackenzie jones solicitors chester' . The official domain is www.macjones.com but currently www.macjones.co.uk seems to be owned by someone else. Always make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments or bank details via email. People simply aren't as ...


Hill House Chambers: At the moment of writing www.hillhousechambers.com wasn't owned by anyone and other variants such as hillhousebarristers were also available. Hill House Chambers have been recommended across our network for some time now so, as we do with many firms, we'd like to give a few ...


Stowe Family Law: Today's piece covers the website of Stowe Family Law where there is a fair mix of writing and images to scroll through even on the first page. A large firm that gives you a free interview to discuss your case and costs before making you sign the dotted line is actually rare...

Rose Fendlen Law: The only difference will be on whether they charge you for running the case or provide something such as a no win, no fee agreement. The official site we link to above is www.rf-law.co.uk and the old address of www.lrose-law.com redirects there. If a legal practice https: ...


Bell Lax Solicitors: Many of which probably wouldn't interest members of the general public though unless it related to their actual case. There were several other things about Bell Lax Solicitors we saw as positive or just plain interesting that made them stand out a bit more in our minds. Bell...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: Often the number of years a firm quotes in such statements doesn't relate to the years of experience their solicitors have either. We love case studies, but originally thought this was simply because we've been working in the industry for over twenty years. JPS Walker ...


The Legal Practice Ltd: class="infoquote "The foundations of The Legal Practice are built on client service."< div> Of course whilst we at 1to1Legal are usually first drawn to the industry websites to check up on firms before adding them to our site - most 'regular' people's first port o...


Youngs Solicitors: The majority are very positive. We have branch offices in Newcastle-under-Lyme (trading as Cooks Solicitors) and in Aylesford, Kent (trading as David Stinson & Co)."< div> A quick note on navigation as you may have noticed there are four brandings in total amongst this...


Lefevres Law: For example, Lefevres are listed in the Legal Aid board database. The number of years' experience your actual solicitor has and whether they've spent that time working on a wide range of cases similar to yours is the only timeframe that ultimately matters . That way w...


David Stinson & Co: But you never know what scammers will think of next so it's often a good idea to bookmark the correct website and never discuss payments via email. class="infoquote "David Stinson & Co is a trading name of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd"< div> A quick note on naviga...


Cooks Solicitors: She is very good at clearing jams in the conveyancing process."< div> We couldn't find a staff profile section on the Cooks Solicitors website at the time of writing. class="infoquote "We have been in business in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire for over twenty...

Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Well two years later I've been paroled and am shortly due to go out ..."< div> There are often statements and words that give you a general 'feel' about a firm - such as on this occasion with Swain and Co's involvement in Prison Law. Entering such will bring up an error...


My Law Matters: This can be to highlight a particular case type as a specialty or simply to create a more national branding if their original name is something very local. That can be a huge help because for some reason, law firms are quite obsessed with quoting founding dates. So what ...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: Of course, if a firm is included in our database then it means we think very highly of them. For example on the one of their most recently qualified members is Anoop who started with the firm...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: That's quite something unique to see. So why is that? On their own website of course there is the standard testimonials. Therefore they believe leaving the negative review anywhere is 'probably fine'. class="infoquote "We are also the only Solicitors Firm in Lincoln...


OneLaw Chambers: According to the law society website they have several trading names attached to them including OneLaw Solicitors, OneLaw Solicitors and Advocates, OneLaw Solicitors and Barristers. With that in mind we always recommend people read actual comments left rather than simply f...


Beers LLP: Unfortunately that needed to be said because there isn't much negative about Beers LLP for us to focus on. That is not the case. A lot of comments about friendliness and speed. It's true the majority of firms we write about are going to receive fairly positive comments...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: They are a Claims Management Company specialising in the very niche case focus of Landlord Tenant disputes about https: www.itv.com news 2021-04-13 investigation-launched-into-disgusting-damp-and-mouldy-council-housing-after-itv-news-report" disrepair matters within rente...


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


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: However, not all cases can be run like that and you may be asked to agree to a conditional fee arrangement. A quick note on navigation as the firm branding is mainly 'Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors' but the web address and logo follows the 'RM Solicitors' style. Ap...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: We've been told it's an attempt to appear 'more human' - which we've no idea what that means. The branding is quite unique and the various alternate searches we tried such as 'ula lawyers', 'ula law firm', etc. There is a difference (and we'll tell you how to spot it below) ...


Taylor Price Solicitors: Although if you're anything like us, the main interest is usually the negative comments to see if there are any glaring bad themes appearing. This is true for cases such as Personal Injury. One reviewer states - "Lovely foods, friendly staff". class="infoquote "Our are...


Michael Leighton Jones: Some firms even make statements such as 'established in 1881' as if that will make people think they are better than a firm started up in 2020. Plus, how old the building or the brand name is has no bearing on the years of experience your solicitor may have . The official w...


Milners Solicitors: How can you tell the difference though? class="infoquote "When you need legal expertise, you’ll find us plain talking and focussed on finding the right solution for you. Usually if we see a firm pushing the idea that they are better than other law offices simply beca...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: These options are obviously incredibly cheap compared to using a full on law firm. There have also been many changes to the types of solutions people can have beyond 'solicitors'. class="infoquote "As well as English, I can also offer advice in Gujarati an...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: Still with the varied searches we tried, the firm did pop up correctly in the search results. There were a couple of negative ratings, but unfortunately the reviewers left absolutely no comments for us to know what generated their disappointment. The database publicly https...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: Whilst we normally haven't used the firms we write about to handle a case for us (obviously, as we review hundreds of law firms) we will have at least interacted and or worked with some of the staff. That's not to say there weren't things we weren't so keen on. That alw...


CEL Solicitors: The legal industry struggles badly with catching up with the times. Simply emailing a CV to reception looks lazy.
It's always great to have options and many of those just mentioned could save considerable time and money over a regular 'high street' law office. But...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Many low ratings can simply be from people who wished their house sale had gone faster. For example, if a solicitor has a client who pulls out of a deal last minute, the person that got 'gazumped' may leave a negative review about the solicitor out of frustration. But we w...


HooperHyde: But it can sometimes be difficult to get the information due to many firms using trading names. (5x2=10) That's another great use for the law society website because you can check the actual expertise and experience of individual solicitors within the firms. Sometimes ...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: Those are the obvious targets for fraud. If we do discover it, we'll let you know. class="infoquote "We specialise in acting for tenants where their landlord has failed to repair their property or protecting deposits as the law requires."< div> Normally when that...


Fair Result Ltd: Typically it's only cases such as litigation where firms may do considerable work upfront with an aim to getting paid near the end of the case instead. yet. Again that sounds like it means something but if that firm's office has a bright pink upward sliding door painted with...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: The problem is mostly with property matters and conveyancing as https: www.clc-uk.org watch-out-for-conveyancing-fraud " fraudsters have managed to scam multi-millions< a> out of people buying selling a home. It's when people mistype directly into a browser bar that...


Mckie Legal: It's not unusual for solicitors to have one or two trading names on the side. It's just far less likely that someone will rush online to discuss how they feel about their criminal law case or messy divorce than it is for them to jump online and tell you about the restau...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: But that's simply not true. There are other lawyers in the UK using Jacob in the name. If you are looking for help with a property matter, this sort of online care is even more important https: monzo.com blog we-sent-our-house-deposit-to-a-fraudster-who-posed-as...


Argue & Co Legal: This splinter naming isn't nearly as prolific amongst other areas of law such as divorce or crime. We've seen the most absurd negative reviews against solicitors. the person they spoke to simply seemed more interested in their case. So what are the review boards saying about...


Springle & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "The law is complex but we explain everything in plain English."< div> Life is complicated and so is death it seems. While we're not pushing the idea that this particular firm is the best for you, we are certainly pushing the idea that planning p...


BLZ Solicitors: If you want to check up on the size of a firm (if size matters to you) The Law Society website in your area will typically be able to provide that information. A quick note on navigation. So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fin...


Hawkridge & Company: A quick note on navigation because we are talking about a property dealing firm. They involve sometimes lengthy co-operation and the maintenance of certain high standards . class="infoquote "We are a specialist legal firm providing a range of services in the Medw...


Pacific Law: Any possible errors such as 'pacific solicitors' or 'pacific legal' may bring up different results in the search engines. We've seen one law firm get a stunning review that ended with the phrase 'best dog-friendly restaurant ever'. This new offering is a specialist Estate...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: If you do need a regular solicitor though, how do you tell the differences between them? class="infoquote "ABS Lawyers is a modern law firm but retains the all-important traditional values of a customer focussed service"< div> This sort of sales pitching is acro...


Stenfield Solicitors: 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. The majority preferred to read comments on third party forums such as Google Reviews, Yell, Trustpilot or Yelp. Unfortunately wh...


Khan Law: class="infoquote "We fight our client's corner and have done so in many past cases, which is why we have a 100% success rate"< div> Whilst this sounds like a bold claim it's something you have probably seen many other firms claim as well. class="infoquote ...


DV Solicitors: You may get a forty year experienced solicitor from a law firm brand that started up yesterday. Reviews for property firms are therefore usually much lower than those for firms covering any other type of matter. They have a range of articles clearly meant to help out peopl...


Richmond Legal Ltd: So when you see a law firm with only a handful or even zero reviews, just bear that in mind and don't take it as a negative sign . Also the majority of scams against clients of law firms right now tend to https: www.todayslegalcyberrisk.co.uk main-news solicitors-lose-450...
