Calio Claims: Today while reviewing the website of Calio Claims we'll also be discussing branding. This is true for negative issues as well with any firm you are researching. But make sure you get fees absolutely clear at the outset and talk to more than one legal professional before deci...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Therefore, it is extremely important to us that we provide an excellent service."< div> One of the standout features of the EDC Lord website is the detailed information provided on each of the firm's practice areas. The website offers a comprehensive overview of the le...


NJS Law Ltd: class="infoquote "NJS Law understands that each client is unique and our experienced solicitors' teams will work with you to provide advice and solutions tailored to your individual circumstances."< div> The main source people usually turn to when evaluating a ...

The Law Partnership Solicitors: So what are the independent boards https: www.google.com search?q=The+Law+Partnership+Ltd&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=The+Law+Partnership+Ltd&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l3j0i22i30i625j0i22i30j0i390l3.767j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x48774bf3974e9df1:0xac3ed13023aaee...

Wilford Smith Solicitors: On that topic we should cover some notes about navigation. For example: one of the largest Conveyancing firms in the UK (My Home Move) have a current rating of 3.1 stars out of 500+ reviews on Google. that they are an 'outdated', 'inefficient', and 'unfriendly' firm)....


Foster & Coleman Ltd: Foster Coleman do have https: www.fosterandcoleman.com testimonials" a testimonials page< a> on their website with comments such as: class="infoquote "we have a very positive outcome, as compared to what could have been" "always easily contactable by phone or em...


Wildcat Law Ltd: But a quick note on navigation. Sound results."< div> Most companies use words such as modern, practical, friendly, professional, experienced, etc in their website text and it all sounds great. They have a very useful user side offering of data regarding a firm's conta...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: Many companies provide a Testimonials section on their website and LS Legal https: www.lslegaluk.com testimonials" is no exception< a>. We very rarely push out direct advice in our articles but we have no problem stating that if the solicitor you're looking at hiring only...


A City Law Firm Ltd: It's more likely for firms to just say they are 'award winning' and make no reference to what that award might be. class="infoquote "Our firm’s culture of supporting our clients is very important to us"< div> On any law firm's website you will see something ...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: Be careful though as some firms use sneaky marketing jargon to make you think they have far more experience than they do. So what are the independent forums saying? class="infoquote "Professional staff. Unfortunately even the best firm out there will end up with compl...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Making sure you are on the correct website and not tripping up when typing in domains is mostly important when it comes to online scams including https: consumer.ftc.gov articles how-recognize-and-avoid-phishing-scams" phishing< a> or for people moving large sums ...


Guardian Law: But you simply must make sure to read the comments left by people rather than simply glancing at star ratings. To get the correct reviews to come up we needed to enter the full 'guardian law nottingham' but that is the case for many companies now if you're trying to fi...

Backhouse Solicitors: It is also very common for firms who deal with property to have terrible reviews. class="infoquote "Backhouse Solicitors is a modern and forward thinking solicitors firm offering high levels of expertise and service to individuals, businesses and their owners."<...


WH Solicitors: That's not to dismiss larger firms with multiple specialists on board. But not all specialists are the same. Whilst many provide testimonials on their website, our poll a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted company-provided reviews. class...


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: Vincent and his father, Alan."< div> There are other mentions about the 'family run business' aspect of the firm too. That's well over 50 years between just the two of them. For example, there is a big difference between a firm saying it has '50 years experience' ver...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Unfortunately every firm that deals with property will have such negative reviews. So what about the independent boards such as https: www.google.com search?q=bridge+mcfarland+llp+lincoln&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsYpYdagcP_1nfbujMAQ2Q3Y7A1iYw%3A1663333683455&...


Woodstock Legal Services: So which claims and imagery should you look for? class="infoquote "our lawyers are recognised nationally for their wealth of specialist expertise and knowledge"< div> For people in England and Wales they are lucky to have The Law Society there provide a huge amoun...


Stephanie Heijdra: But what about experience? Normally we're able to point you to several resources to help you check the background of law firms such as The Law Society website in your area. Just watch out for Google always sneaking rival adverts in. So at the moment even something specific s...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Most of the variants we tried brought up the correct site in the top search results spot but many brought up adverts for other firms. However if you actually read through the comments you see one reviewer stating "I have provided them with amazing pension advice" which seems...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: With them only handling immigration matters it's also safe to assume they will be more up to date than a solicitor trying to handle a dozen different case types at once. They were all very positive and helpfully provided examples of why each of them were happy with the ser...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: We've seen companies claim 150-year origins simply for moving into the old premises of a much older firm. As we only review the legal industry and it's professionals from our experience working with them over the past 20 years - that's the only thing we can comment on. If yo...


Brown and Co Solicitors: Here are some of the resources we use that you might not have known about or things to watch for you might not have thought about. Plus dozens of review pages both monitored and unmonitored. no other firm is going to say they are 'inexperienced'). A quick note on nav...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Just ... more than two decades later we have offices in Menai Bridge on Anglesey, St Asaph Business Park and Chester city centre with a vibrant team of twenty-three."< div> The staff roster shows a range of experience with legal professionals from each decade over the ...

Stowe Family Law: It is important you are comfortable with your solicitor; you feel they understand your legal needs and, just as importantly, the emotional aspects of your situation."< div> Obviously we are already in favour of Stowe Family Law because we list their services on this we...


Rose Fendlen Law: Sadly Google was showing adverts at the top for some of our searches so watch out for that. Personal Injury ... Just always make sure you know exactly which site you are on, which email addresses you are responding to, and we recommend putting full name displays in your phon...


Bell Lax Solicitors: It can even look as though they got all their website images from the same stock photo pile. By that we mean most legal companies in the UK tend to use the same sort of sales language, highlight the same points, and make the same claims about their company that practically...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: But if every firm is claiming such, then it's not much use to potential clients as a distinguishing feature. We did find some reviews for JPS Walker: class="infoquote "really helpful through-out our claim" "Great solicitors, professional, friendly" "successfu...


The Legal Practice Ltd: Sometimes simply because they received an official-looking email that said the bank details for payment had changed. This seems to be an actual goal or at least a point of pride for the firm because we also saw this statement on their website: class="infoquote "At your...


Youngs Solicitors: The firm doesn't list testimonials on their website, but that's fine. Most importantly, it does not pay out an up to date payment rate for solicitors. The situation is almost as bad as trying to find and NHS dentist in this country. Why is that so important to discuss? ...


Lefevres Law: class="infoquote "We want our clients to make the right choice and get the best possible legal outcome, so we take the extra time to explore options, identify risks and keep you informed during the process."< div> One thing which might stand out to many that we s...

Cooks Solicitors: class="infoquote "We have been in business in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire for over twenty-eight years"< div> This may not seem like an important sentence to most regular clients looking for a solicitor. It can therefore be a good idea to bookmark the site...


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: Because whilst many negative comments can be totally unhelpful (e.g. They provide all alternate trading names, other office locations, languages spoken, case types handled, and the qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. Sometimes they operate using bot...


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. This statement: class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans encourage staff to g...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: With all this going for them, it was therefore strange to see the firm having an absolutely huge amount of negative reviews on the regular boards such as https: www.google.com search?q=qualitysolicitors+burton+%26+co&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=QualitySolicitors+B...


OneLaw Chambers: Their main branding is the OneLaw Chambers name but some review sites and official pages list them as OneLaw Ltd. The main problem in such situations is the possibility of https: www.ncsc.gov.uk information report-suspicious-emails" phishing scams< a>. So how do One Law...


Beers LLP: They also get a lot of weird negative comments, such as people complaining a criminal law firm won't handle the person's divorce case. 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 da...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: The main aim (we would hope) of housing claims is to get your living conditions improved. There are so many people living with severe issues in their homes out of either fear of their landlord or an inability to get their landlord to do anything. There are several good reaso...


Simper Law Ltd: That means the official website matches using www.simperlaw.com with www.simperlaw.co.uk redirecting you there as well. That's a big reason to make sure you're on the correct site and bookmark places instead of accidentally typing the wrong web address into your browser. ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: They are far less likely to rush and publicly talk about their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or life-long brain injury. The one review we did see: class="infoquote "provided a really helpful and professional service to help me make a claim"< div> was obviously very ...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: A quick note on navigation. The official site we link to above is www.ulasolicitors.com with www.ulasolicitors.co.uk not currently redirecting you there. But the fact they still work with Legal Aid at all these days is something very unique. If you check out the page ...


Taylor Price Solicitors: One of the solicitors https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 32344 ruby-khalid-bhatti-obe" has an OBE< a>. Two, this also seems to be valid for their whole case range. We've seen that more times than should be expected.) Certainly there is a lot of praise and a...


Michael Leighton Jones: There are still plenty of firms out there that will charge a consultation fee or even full hourly rates for the first meeting.. Scammers email clients saying they are the solicitor and telling them the bank details for payment have changed. So hopefully in this article we'l...
