The Law Partnership Solicitors: The age of the firm's branding does not really tell you anything about the experience of the solicitor you'll get. In this article we're going to share a few tips on how we check up on firms we're thinking of adding. class="infoquote "Our Solicitors offer pe...
Wilford Smith Solicitors: So they could have 10x staff members with only 4 years of experience each. Those are merely claims about the firm's branding having existed for a really long time. This one from the Wilford Smith site is very clear , indicating that they have been serving clients for over 4...
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: For example this snippet from the Wildcat Law front page: class="infoquote "Sensible and practical advice. That is very rare even now despite Direct Access having been around for over a decade. outdated, impractical, unfriendly, unprofessional, and inexperienced. Als...
LS Legal Solicitors Ltd:
class="infoquote "LS Legal Solicitors is a multi-service, specialist, diverse and dynamic law firm"< div>
It's a misconception that any firm stating a wider case range must therefore spread their time between such cases and not have such a great amount of knowl...
A City Law Firm Ltd: But they certainly sound as if they take their role in consumer information seriously. Sometimes even for big brands we've had to type in the location of the head office to get the correct reviews to show up. Their organisation provides an excellent range of user side data ...
Buchanan & Co Solicitors: However every firm we add to our network goes through various checks which we often write about, because much of the things we do can be helpful for any potential client in their search. So make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments via email.

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: There are still plenty of law firms charging people money before getting to sit down with an actual solicitor. Excellent recovery rates"< div>
We would never generally recommend one firm over another as each client's individual circumstances and even location play a hu...

Backhouse Solicitors: etc.
At the time of writing this firm had 295 reviews on Google alone. A decent mix of seasoned professionals with young blood which you'd hope to see in any professional services firm. But it does highlight some issues when searching for a legal practice to help you...
WH Solicitors: However today's law practice, WH Solicitors, is simple. The main thing to remember is that a lack of reviews is not a negative sign. Just remember to read all comments and not rely on average star ratings. It's one of those ones that make us use tired out sayings such as 'd...
Two Harcourt Buildings:
class="infoquote "We have specialist Direct Access trained barristers available in the following practice areas: Fraud and Financial Crime; Criminal Defence; Regulatory; Professional Discipline; Health and Safety and Road Traffic Offences."< div>
A quick note o...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Sometimes due to just one official-looking email convincing the property buyer that they need to suddenly change the bank account they pay their deposit in to.
The question of course is whether this can result in a firm being better when it comes to handling clients ...
Bridge McFarland LLP: Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. Make sure you're on the correct website and never discuss payments via email.
There is also a huge difference between a firm that claims to have 40 years of experience and 40 years of exper...
Woodstock Legal Services: However on this occasion we have because they are not just hand-picked and solicited client remarks but actual comments from industry peers who have worked with the firm. People have been handing tens of thousands of pounds in deposits to fraudsters simply on the basis of on...
Stephanie Heijdra:
class="infoquote "She went on to study for a Degree in Business Management at BPP University London in aid of her thriving immigration practice Winvolved Consultancy Ltd."< div>
So far the obvious indication is Stephanie is both well educated and entrepreneuri...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: On the whole they are positive, however in the case of https: www.google.com search?q=summerfieldbrowne+cambridge&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsZgtAzd_li97ev6QBMxCnd-bir8EA%3A1661867136831&ei=gBQOY5WlMuyUhbIPkqSo2A4&ved=0ahUKEwiV5erC2e75AhVsSkEAHRISCusQ4dUDCA4&ua...

class="infoquote "very thorough and knowledgeable, and gave me great advice on my case which is quite complicated"
"clear explanations and quick turnaround"
"She helped me to prepare a new application and sub...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: This is important because depending on the browser you use, entering an invalid address can send you to search results which can list the wrong firm at the top. Unfortunately some negative ratings had no comments with them in order to know if the complaint was valid or eve...
Brown and Co Solicitors: The first is whether a firm is actually experienced and the other about firms which cover a range of case types rather than a single specialty.
Obviously we have checked out Brown & Co and ended up adding them to our list of firms so we must have had a positive exper...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor:
class="infoquote "Our legal service team have extensive experience"< div>
One thing to be aware of when you're reading website text is that 'expert' and 'experience' are different things and you ideally want a firm with both .
If you are searching for a ...
Hill House Chambers: So the fact this company receives praise from both direct public clients as well as other law firms that have used them to handle their own cases - is certainly notable. The Law Society of England & Wales provides this information on all solicitors which is great. Typicall...
Stowe Family Law:
The second impressive thing we'd point out is the firm's opening hours. Some phrases may seem throwaway such as:
class="infoquote "A tailored approach from a team that really understands family law."< div>
Which again you've probably seen similarly worded ...
Rose Fendlen Law: In this example these are all types of litigation matter. Sadly Google was showing adverts at the top for some of our searches so watch out for that. The official site we link to above is www.rf-law.co.uk and the old address of www.lrose-law.com redirects there. The only dif...
Bell Lax Solicitors: In fact for most of them no comments were left at all - just a low star rating which we always think is just plain unhelpful. We've seen a solicitor with several five star reviews for their 'awesome food'. Typically the 'Blog' or 'News' section of a law firm's website is jus...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: So what can set one firm apart from another?
class="infoquote "specialising in niche areas of litigation"< div>
Most Personal Injury matters such as Road Accidents, Work Injuries, Slip Trips, and so on come under the same law title of 'Litigation'. That means each...
The Legal Practice Ltd: If you type those three words into a search engine, the correct firm does come up top . For example searching for both Rickmansworth and Wembley London could provide a better overview. So how do TLP fare on the independent comment forums?
class="infoquote "very good a...
Youngs Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our specialisation in our key areas make us experts rather than 'jack of all trades'."< div>
Areas of law that a firm handles is also something you can usually confirm on the Law Society website, right down to each individual solicitor's chosen a...
Lefevres Law: Typically these are called 'testimonials' rather than 'reviews' because they are always the most positive comments they have on file and have usually been obtained through a customer feedback form or questionnaire rather than spontaneously offered praise.
class="info...
David Stinson & Co: Some firms provide testimonials on their website which are comments they've typically obtained by direct request and often using a full feedback form with specific questions. But the solicitor may take a cut of your compensation should you win. However for smaller more simpl...
Cooks Solicitors: Whilst many firms provide testimonials on their websites, these are not normally given much attention. a genuinely local firm but with a much larger firm's resources behind it.
class="infoquote "Dianne Sumner has over twenty-five years' experience of helping people mo...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: They provide a wealth of user side data including all alternate trading names, other office locations, languages spoken at the firm, case types covered, and qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. They usually include words like 'modern', 'friendly', or 'one o...
My Law Matters: The titular Nicholas Fentiman qualified in 1979, with various other solicitors joining after - right up to Nila Brailey who qualified in 2007. In fact, that's something we always recommend when it comes to law firms. A good place to get information on this is actually a firm...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: So, does Frazer Coogans Solicitors provide clarification?
class="infoquote "Recent figures issued by the Land Register of Scotland confirm Frazer Coogans to be the leading firm of solicitors in the South West of Scotland by number of properties registered in 2017."< di...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: But they are listed across the internet sometimes with that domain name and with email addresses using it. The easiest comparison we can give is that 'Qualitysolicitors' is sort of a hallmark, badge, or accreditation. Burton and Co LLP https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk o...
OneLaw Chambers: Barristers normally say very clearly on the front page of their website whether they can accept direct instructions. There are several independent review boards online such as https: www.google.com search?q=onelaw+chambers&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=OneLaw+Chambers&aqs...
Beers LLP: The official website we link to above is www.beersllp.com but www.beersllp.co.uk does not redirect you there. The branding is always Beers LLP but searches such as 'beers solicitors' or 'beer llp' still brought the correct firm to the top of the results. If there are sever...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: We've talked a lot before about 'specialist' law firms. Obviously the official site we link to above is www.disrepairclaim.co.uk but neither www.disrepairclaim.com or www.disrepairclaims.co.uk .com redirect you there.
class="infoquote "DisrepairClaim.co.uk is a trading...
Simper Law Ltd: We've also seen several negative ratings by people who were angry that a firm refused to take their case on - which seems really unfair.
Simpler Law https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 09950480" became a Limited firm< a> in 2016 which ma...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: The former will bring up the correct firm during related searches no problem. There are various ways to have the case paid for , but as far as we're concerned no injury claim firm should even take any money from a client up front, during the case, or if the case loses. So d...
ULA Solicitors Ltd:
The issues with other similar domain names being available and alternate searches really only affects cases where the client has to pay large sums of money such as property matters. But the fact they still work with Legal Aid at all these days is something very uniq...
Taylor Price Solicitors: The age of the law office's brand name is therefore rather unimportant. For example most firms will also claim a certain amount of experience, although not always in the clearest of way. The emails may contain a link to malware."< div>
That quote is https: www.sra.org...
Michael Leighton Jones: If you've already gone through dozens of law websites today looking for the best firm for your case, you've probably noticed a lot of them use the same sort of 'sales pitch' language. This tells you what each solicitor works on. Sadly though, it often does promote that idea ...
Milners Solicitors: We always recommend reading actual comments rather than flicking through ratings anyway when it comes to law firm reviews. not trying to jack-of-all-trades things. We ran a poll last year and only 8% of people said they trusted company testimonials. (Quick tip, if you want...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: Dates on the companies house website though are only when a firm becomes a limited company. But they are not a cheaper version of the same service. But when it comes to Estate Planning there are some things to watch out for. So since the owner of this firm states a solicitor...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: well ... There were a couple of negative ratings, but unfortunately the reviewers left absolutely no comments for us to know what generated their disappointment. Another is for fraudsters to send out emails pretending to be their solicitor and stating that the bank details f...
