NJS Law Ltd: 'njs law in macclesfield'. compensation claims). In our opinion, 'established' or 'founding' dates are useless in determining which firm is best for you and should be ignored. At the moment there don't seem to be many scams involving the case types NJS focus on (e.g. The maj...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: We live in a much more flexible work environment these days. But how can you know if they are right for you beyond the marketing?

LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: If a firm has only 1-2 solicitors but handles every case type under the sun - then it's fair to assume they are not as experienced or up to date as a firm with several solicitors each focusing on one or two areas of law. That's the difference to watch for. That's a conside...


A City Law Firm Ltd: So if you see clearer statements like those on A City Law Firm's site then tack on a couple of extra brownie points. They have more information about their setup and what each award means https: www.legal500.com united-kingdom-solicitors " on their website< a>. If you ...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: And they talk normal" "easy to get through to my solicitor and they replied to me promptly" "Put him at ease from the word go" "Everything we wanted was sorted promptly"< div> There were a lot of positive messages left on the boards, but sadly not a lot of g...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: We've seen variants such as 'goldsmith and bowers' showing up in searches due to the number of law firms that use that separator for partner names in the firm. Excellent recovery rates"< div> We would never generally recommend one firm over another as each client's ind...


Guardian Law: This is all very important to consider though because there are a lot of scams targeting clients of lawyers these days. This brings up an extra point about reviews - i.e. It raises the point that if every firm says they are 'experienced' (and no firm would admit to b...


Backhouse Solicitors: As mentioned above Duffield Stunt Solicitors has merged into Backhouse Solicitors Ltd with the official site being the hyphenated and https protected www.backhouse-solicitors.co.uk However both www.backhousesolicitors.co.uk and the .com will redirect you there. At the ...

WH Solicitors: That is not always an incorrect use of the word. However today's law practice, WH Solicitors, is simple. However if they have seven solicitors and list seven specialist areas of law - that is still a very good choice to go for. It may be a phrase we dislike resorting to, bu...


Two Harcourt Buildings: If you've already been through a dozen other law firm's sites before reaching this article and have started to think just how alike they all seem to be in both language and imagery - this will be a happy jump into cold water for you: class="infoquote "Founded in 195...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: That's well over 50 years between just the two of them. While seeing such a description is not rare amongst many types of business, it's something we've stopped seeing so much amongst solicitor's practices. class="infoquote "call us today for a free, no obligation cha...


Bridge McFarland LLP: committed to delivering a quality driven service designed to meet the needs of each and every client."< div> All the knowledge in the world doesn't always translate to good service. However, in our last poll only 9% of you said you trusted any reviews on a company's ow...


Woodstock Legal Services: They include direct contact information and work history details of each staff member which is perfect. 'we are unapproachable, confusing, and slow'. Some law firms list hobbies, pets names, and even favourite colours which we think is not only pointless, but a little off ...


Stephanie Heijdra: Unfortunately with the direct access scheme being so new it may not be something you've heard of yet and hopefully more information on each barrister will become available as the scheme and awareness grows. (There have been none against Stephanie at the time we checked.) All...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are a modern and progressive law firm, and operate a new legal services business model"< div> Unfortunately this statement on the Summerfield Browne website is one that you'll probably have already seen on a dozen others you've flicked throu...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: But if you see a firm of 1 or 2 solicitors stating they handle every case type you can think of from Personal Injury to Family Law, Criminal Law and Immigration as well - chances are they are probably not able to keep themselves as well informed or up to date as a specialis...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: Including Colin Sleeman (qualified in 1983), Andrew Blair (1999), Jonathan McGowan (2009), Himat Sidhu (2014), right up to Zarah Rowntree in 2022. Make sure you're on the correct site and don't discuss bank details or payments via email.. But it actually contains two of t...


Brown and Co Solicitors: If a firm states they have a certain number of years' experience 'within the firm' this usually means they've added up all staff's experience together to make the number bigger. Here are some of the resources we use that you might not have known about or things to watc...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: The full www.mackenziejones.co.uk and .com are both for a recruitment firm so no mixups expected there.

Rose Fendlen Law: Many firms use the same sales language, offer similar services, make similar promises, and even use similar images on their websites of people looking sternly at pieces of paper or shaking hands smiling. So what are the third party forums https: www.google.com search?q=Ros...


Bell Lax Solicitors: class="infoquote "we can quickly understand your problem and provide sensible, down to earth advice with a clear and transparent approach to managing legal costs"< div> The greatest resource we've found for checking up on the experience levels of actual solicitor...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: More and more people are becoming aware of just how much of a difference a specialist can make to a case. Often the number of years a firm quotes in such statements doesn't relate to the years of experience their solicitors have either. which sounds great. If you've ...


The Legal Practice Ltd: Just try looking up the star ratings of several other property firms in your area. That's an understandable position considering company testimonials tend to be all positive and not always including the information people want such as both pros AND cons of the firm . There...


Youngs Solicitors: So because Young and Co deal with conveyancing, it is hugely important to make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. But even variants such www.youngandco.co.uk are owned by different firms. Third you have firms where each solicitor with...


Lefevres Law: You can end up hiring a 40-year-guru lawyer from a law practice that set up 6 months ago. That can make them sound a little more formal: class="infoquote "the best possible service is given and best possible result is achieved for the clients" "they have a fantast...


David Stinson & Co: It should be pointed out though that a good solicitor taking 25% of your £5000 settlement is still a better option than a less aggressive solicitor that takes a 0% cut of a £1500 settlement. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 31408 david-john-chr...


Cooks Solicitors: That's also something we would consider a good sign that people outside the industry might not be aware of. It also means you've got the best of both worlds - i.e. But it stands out to us . When it comes to law firms though, we absolutely recommend that you read through t...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "We have specialist lawyers, many of whom are recognised as leaders in their respective fields and also share our unique focus on quality service and putting our clients first."< div> Practically every law firm makes a claim about have the best, ...


My Law Matters: Sometimes they end up pushing the original name into the background in favour of the new branding. We can honestly say that in the past two decades we've never seen that happen . Most of you wanted to see independent review boards that also contain negative reviews. Bad f...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: qualified as a Solicitor in 2020"< div> That's the two ends of the experience bookshelf from what we could see, making a range of five decades worth of experience - but alongside some fresh legs too. The most common typo we'd expect of www.frasercoogans.co.uk .com al...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: That's totally up to each individual to decide after careful research and having spoken to someone at the firm about the case. Jordans Solicitors became QualitySolicitors Jordans. With all this going for them, it was therefore strange to see the firm having an absolu...


OneLaw Chambers: class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS ... Something to keep in mind when researching or trying to find the firm again. 'one' and 'law') most search terms will bring up the firm at the top of results. Despite the two words being generic terms (i.e. Even more positively - t...


Beers LLP: Obviously alternatives such as www.beers.com or .co.uk bring up beverage related websites and none of the beerllp variants were owned by anyone. class="infoquote "We have specialist lawyers in areas such as Commercial and Residential Property, Employment, Personal Inju...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: Many people assume that every litigation firm or compensation claim advertising lawyer will take on such cases - but they simply don't. Then there are firms that have several specialist solicitors who handled specific case types but all working under the same brand name umbr...


Simper Law Ltd: Luckily this firm is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which has the best user-side offering we've seen amongst such organisations. But the main reason people probably prefer the third party independent review boards is that they will also include any nega...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: However, not all cases can be run like that and you may be asked to agree to a conditional fee arrangement. They are far less likely to rush and publicly talk about their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or life-long brain injury. It boggles the mind. That means should the ...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: We specialise in a wide range of services including Crime, Immigration, Personal Injury and Family."< div> It's something we've covered before, but the fact a firm states it handles a wider range of cases does not mean it cannot also still claim to be a 'specialist' fir...


Taylor Price Solicitors: One that they seem to be offering face to face initial consultations for free at either of their Leeds or Levenshulme offices - not just a phone call with a junior staff member. class="infoquote "Taylor Price Solicitors LLP was established in 2015 and currently opera...


Michael Leighton Jones: That's very common though. When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people are far less likely to share their feelings about their messy divorce than they are about the restaurant they just ate at. If you flick through each of the staff at MLJ you'll...


Milners Solicitors: If you saw someone posting a negative review about Pizza Hut saying 'they wouldn't sell me a Big Mac!' - you'd think they were a little nuts. With any firm offering free consultations, it's always best if you can meet with the actual lawyer who would then be going on to run ...
