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:

Branch Austin McCormick LLP: However it really all depends on how the firm is set up . The main reason we dislike such claims is that typically a firm claiming to have hundreds of years history are doing so because they have nothing much else to boast about. There were also several comments about how f...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: As mentioned before though, whilst the firm is 'new' ( https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 11417981" having gone Limited in 2018< a>) we take that as a potentially positive attribute . Agnieszka is listed as an Immigration speciali...


CEL Solicitors: 'cel legal', 'cel lawyers', etc.) will bring up the correct firm. The official site we link to above is www.celsolicitors.co.uk with www.celsolicitors.com redirecting you there too which is great and something we really think more firms should be doing . < p> . That just a...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Being a Peterhead-based firm ourselves it's a tough thing to see even the basics such as Law Society databases being so much clearer and informative south of the border. They can also arrange to meet you in their sister firm's Gildeas' offices in either Glasgow or Edin...


HooperHyde: On hand ready to help you with your business needs."< div> The majority of firms will make a statement like this one on the HooperHyde site relating to their experience. Sometimes you do. They are a specialist firm focusing on helping businesses, but also have a differe...

Antony Hodari Solicitors: To us that's a bit of a cheat. There shouldn't be too many problems though as the firm name is unique and doesn't use generic terms. class="infoquote "Our solicitors will keep you up to date with the progress of your claim throughout and will answer any questions you m...


Fair Result Ltd: class="infoquote "It reduces the stress and emotion, speeds up the process and above all, it reduces costs."< div> At this point we started searching around for customer reviews about the firm. Having worked in the legal industry for well over two decades now...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: It may be a sad side-effect of the Facebook Instagram age we live in but many people do make decisions about whether to use a solicitor or not much easier if there is a photo. If a solicitor doesn't have a profile on their website. Just remember that 'no win, no fee' a...


Mckie Legal: A good resource we always recommend using in conjuction with your search is local law societies. class="infoquote "Ive been asked a few times already 'which Barrister did you use?'"< div> This is a quote from the firm's website relating to a review from another...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: In this instance that's "Jacobs Law Solicitors Birmingham". class="infoquote "worked tirelessly in what turned out to be a very complicated sale" "we felt supported and informed throughout the whole process" "provided me with regular updates and were very pr...


Argue & Co Legal: We've talked to hundreds upon hundreds of potential clients over the twenty years we've been working in the legal industry. This can make it harder and you need to read the actual comments when it comes to lawyer reviews - not just flick through stars. There are a fe...


Springle & Co Solicitors: That's because people are less likely to jump online and write a review about their divorce, will, or criminal offence compared to praising the pizza they just got delivered. class="infoquote "We're independently owned and we believe that smaller is better. Apparently...


BLZ Solicitors: class="infoquote "We specialise in data breach claims, noise induced hearing loss, immigration and PPI"< div> This, however, is a far more telling sentence from the BLZ Solicitors' website. This is where the balancing act in your brain can get a little wobb...

Hawkridge & Company: This includes all known offices, with alternate contact details, any related trading names, staff information, languages spoken, and more. class="infoquote "Hawkridge & Company solicitors ensure a personal and supportive approach to every client"< div> Unfort...


Pacific Law: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty year experienced lawyer that joined a new legal practice starting up in their area. ​ class="infoquote "Here at Pacific Law, we have embraced the modern wo...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: In this case, the solicitors certainly aren't 'green'. Second the firm can state they have been 'providing legal services for over twenty years'. The fact ABS is so rare in this regard , is quite odd considering that other than English, https: www.theguardian.com uk 2013 ...


Stenfield Solicitors: That wasn't just the legal industry either. Whereas a new brand legal practice that popped up last month could have several well seasoned lawyers with dozens of years' experience between them. But how are people feeling about the services they've received from Stenfield So...


Khan Law: The quote above is from the Khan Law website and, in our opinion, is being used appropriately. They have the obligatory testimonials on their website. A firm can be a specialist by targeting just single area of law. It may have nothing to do with the practice of law. ...


DV Solicitors: We try to offer varied legal service options across a wide range of case types. The Law Society of England & Wales is a simply excellent resources for background research . For example in tax HMRC matters you may save a lot of time and money by using an accountant ...


Richmond Legal Ltd: The main one for English Welsh legal professionals is The Law Society of England & Wales and it is simply an excellent resource for people to use. What does that mean? For us it indicates that the firm genuinely do have an affinity and expertise for the two areas of ...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales is actually one of the best we've seen for this sort of user-focused data provision. On this occasion it shows there is good mix of seasoned expertise along with fresh blood. The most common reason is the expectation of more expertise, m...


Bilkus & Boyle: However the whole ancient-history-boasting across the legal industry is really just a marketing ploy to make a firm seem as though it has a huge amount of experience which it may not. Another line on their site that probably sticks out to us more than to regular consumers wo...


Catteralls Solicitors: Most law firms are signed up with a law society whether national, countywide or even city based if there is a large enough population. That's great. For example, one firm we've written about previously claims a 150-year-history in the area simply because they moved into a b...


Penerley Lawyers: To check whether someone is a qualified solicitor or that a firm has one on staff, you can always use your local law society website. For as long as we can remember (and after working in the industry for over 20+ years now we can remember a lot) most people have always...


The Search Bureau: to confirm past client opinions. Also most of the fraud involved in conveyancing transactions tend to focus on actual buyer seller clients of the actual law firms. It probably doesn't occur to employees of a firm to jump on the web to write a review about a service their com...


Education Law Service Ltd: There are quite a few large firms that will take your Education Law case on. We've seen quite a few lawyers offering a full hour's face to face consultation to discuss your case for free. It was harder to find reviews at all on their company due to the branding (w...


Pump Court Chambers: Also at the moment the majority of scams are targeted at property law firms anyway because of the huge payoffs. So choosing one is just as much a point of discernment as any other law firm selection. For example when Pump Court write they are 'based in london and focusing o...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock have also tried to raise awareness of the terrible injustice of CCJs in recent years ever since an online claims process has allowed debt firms to channel cases through a Northampton 'court' that will give them legal powers without ever having heard from...


Lindsays Solicitors: However www.lindsays.com and other common variants people will probably try such as www.lindsayssolicitors.co.uk are not currently owned by the firm. Their website also isn't plastered with carefully selected testimonials, boasts about awards won, or how wonderfully charitab...


Aspire Licensing: There are certainly more quality, cost-effective, and quicker solutions to legal problems these days. We promote the same sort of alternative help in other areas of law as well. class="infoquote "Our advisors have over 10 years' experience of dealing with licensing and...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: We check the usual spots most people visit such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com and Yelp. If you search for news articles on any company it's good idea to make sure to put "quotation marks" around the name of the firm otherwise you will get a lot of irrelvant pieces. So sta...


Reid Black Solicitors: None of the mis-spellings or full branding domains such as www.reidblacksolicitors.com .co.uk seemed to be showing anything either. We only started reviewing and writing about law firms in Northern Ireland about half a dozen years ago. A quick note on navigation though. It...


Howe + Co Solicitors: Often those little badges at the bottom of law firm's pages aren't just for show either. Howe & Co have one detailing some of their more high profile cases and some of the firm's background. The majority of lawyers and law firms in the UK are registered with a local Law Soci...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: When it comes to individuals rather than large 100+ staffed firms handling your case, we absolutely think the solicitor barrister should stick to a more niche area of law. Most companies will more likely have some vague references to greatness, such as 'we are one of the le...


Levins Solicitors: We always recommend to never judge a general practice firm by it's conveyancing reviews though. The following is therefore some of the things we like about the company, some quotes from the firm and independent sources, some links to articles on third party sites, and ...


Aconveyancing Ltd: Some of the largest and most popular firms that we've worked with have a 2-3 star ratings. If we had to find a niggle with this firm, then that would be it - i.e. Aconveyancing Ltd became so in mid-2013. Especially in England and Wales where things can easily fall apart righ...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: It's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site if you might be coming back to it. They do not mean the same thing. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 2505 the-injury-solicitor-ltd" check the page for a firm< a> you'll be presented with conta...


RD Costings: No win, no fee just means that if your case loses you will not have to pay anything. But there are a few areas of law where using a specialist firm is held up as the ideal. On the 1to1Legal network we review and recommend a wide range of firms. Sadly, thousands of people ...


MGBe Legal: Law Society accrediations are not simply stamps given out for show either. class="infoquote "received a very helpful, detailed and accurate service" "always available to answer all my questions at any time of the process" "the service was prompt, efficient an...


McEwan Fraser Legal: Neither of which would impress you enough to use their actual services would it? McEwan Fraser Legal on the other hand state very clearly underneath their Award-Winning claim what awards have been won. class="infoquote "Open weekdays from 8am - Midnight and 9am ...


Fieldfisher LLP: However, there was a weird selection of negative comments spanning a one month period on one of the independent review sites. It's pretty much a universal given at this point. If you've used our site before to find legal help in your area, or if you've simply read through a...


APS Legal & Associates: It states each of their associates is qualified to give advice, attends regular seminars, carries appropriate insurance cover, has been vetted by the CRB background check, and is a member of The Institute of Professional Will Writers. So how as a front end website browsing c...


Linkilaw Solicitors: Never discuss your bank details with someone that calls you up. Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is actually the best site we've seen out of such organisations. So how does the modern Linkilaw stack up from that angle? ...


NV Legal Ltd: So yes, NV Legal's claim of 20+ years' experience is certainly an honest one with each individual solicitor having that level themselves. There are quite a few independent forums such as Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Yell.com and so on which can often provide far more insight ...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: Simons Rodkin Solicitors don't need to engage in any such shady wording. Your instruct, we act."< div> Hopefully this article has helped you with a few hints about researching firms generally and maybe even got across why we added Simons Rodkin to our network in th...


DFA Law LLP: It's clearly working for them too because https: suite.endole.co.uk insight company OC334104-dfa-law-llp" the public records< a> for the firm show a thriving business at the time of writing. Always a good sign. Sometimes when researching a company online people ten...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: That's great, and more firms should follow their setup . That might help you with your own research and suggest some general resources you can use to check up on law firms in general. A quick note on navigation. There could be some common spelling errors such as 'Mal...
