KRS Estate Planning Ltd: class="infoquote "As well as English, I can also offer advice in Gujarati and Hindi, both of which I am fluent in."< div> Hopefully from the information so far it should be clear why we were quite happy to add this firm to our database of legal service providers....
Branch Austin McCormick LLP: It's an enviable status to have which can surely only benefit clients. For example, at the time of writing the firm lists Steven Gardner who qualified as a solicitor back in 1970, Tania Austin (qualified in 1984), Harender Branch (1999), Hal Branch (2001), Elliot Hammer (201...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: You never know what scammers will come up with next though, so just keep aware. . These days the high-street-solicitor is not the only option available to people to resolve certain issues. Whilst I don't think the public are naive enough to think there are 200 year old soli...
CEL Solicitors: You can also search a specific site by typing site: before the domain name. That just a couple of the reasons many general practice firms which would normally cover most litigation issues such as personal injury, medical negligence, and so on - may refuse to take on these ...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: class="infoquote "With our estate agency and property conveyancing teams under one roof, we offer a seamless transition from initial valuation and marketing through negotiation and conclusion of the contract to the conveyancing and settlement of the sale or purchase."...
HooperHyde: They are a specialist firm focusing on helping businesses, but also have a different 'feel' to them from firms we already worked with. There are national, county, city, and even case specific societies which legal professionals can join. But these days with the number of sel...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: Antony Hodari Solicitors are a very niche firm covering just one specific case type within the area of litigation - housing disrepair. Just watch out for ads using keyword matching to display. We never know what fraudsters will come up with next though so just keep aware o...
Fair Result Ltd:
Enquiring about and researching what avenues are available should be anyone's first point of call before actually starting to weigh up which firm out of those options to use. FairResult state that if you do decide to go ahead at that point a fixed fee will be agreed up...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: As you can see from the snippets above, they're largely quite positive . Some firms will give you 15 mins, some may charge a reduced fee for an initial consultation, and some may offer you a good hour but with a very junior member of staff - i.e. So whilst someone might be ...
Mckie Legal: We've covered many firms that proudly start off their website's sales pitch with 'as a large city firm ...' or something similar. For example:
class="infoquote "or if you prefer simply an out of hours appointment simply fill in the contact form"< div>
This snippet...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: We link to the official site for this firm which is www.jacobslaw.org, and not a standard tld ending for a law firm. However www.jacobslaw.co.uk is owned by a different firm (not an existing legal practice) and www.jacobslaw.com is owned by a law office in the USA. But it's ...
Argue & Co Legal:
You will find it more likely for an actual solicitor to answer the phone and talk to you at a smaller firm which clients tend to feel better about .
The second part of that snippet though is only possible if the firm has enough expertise and experience to make sur...
Springle & Co Solicitors: This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are already dealing with the death itself. As the percentage of people writing a will has increased in recent decades, the idea of really thinking about what happens after you're gone has become more acceptable.
class=...
BLZ Solicitors: So unfortunately, this phrase has become quite meaningless in relation to indicating what the firm does differently. You have to remember that your solicitor and their staff should be spending their time reading up on the newest matters in their field of expertise. The fir...
Hawkridge & Company: Frankly many issues are totally outside your solicitor's control such as land searches, mortgage applications and so on.
This includes all known offices, with alternate contact details, any related trading names, staff information, languages spoken, and more.
A qui...
Pacific Law: We put you first."< div>
The most common piece of research people do over any service provider is check for reviews on the common forums such as Google Reviews, Yelp, Facebook, Yell, Trustpilot and so on. But sadly the confusion over 0345, 08000, 0808, 0871, etc. So pu...
ABS Lawyers Ltd: So always make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments or bank details via email . They really actively target and can properly communicate with (and therefore surely better represent) Polish speaking claimants. Some go as far as big bold letters with boa...
Stenfield Solicitors: We've seen a law firm with a five star review for their pet-friendly cafe.
This helps to distinguish between those law firms that claim ancient establishment dates of their brand, compared with those that have actual real experience behind their staff. Especially wh...
Khan Law:
The Scottish Law Society is much more of a basic directory. We can which again only has basic information. The majority of people would imag...
DV Solicitors: We didn't just add them because of some positive reviews and the fact they handle cases in Pakistan.
For example they have solicitor Dorothy Turner with a qualifying date back in 1985. Most interesting to us though are the qualifying dates of the legal professionals...
Richmond Legal Ltd: Over the past two decades the number of law firms willing to work for the drastically reduced pay that Legal Aid provides has dwindled. It's pretty bleak though and only getting worse. That's because not all Immigration firms deal with clients the same. For example they stat...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: They also offer a fully online service called a DIY Probate Toolkit at a fraction of the cost of the managed service.
The official site we link to above is https secure for entering your details in contact forms and is located at www.trustinheritance.com, with www.t...
Bilkus & Boyle: The Law Society of Scotland on the other hand is not nearly so forthcoming with such details.
class="infoquote "Providing quality legal services since 1980"< div>
Considering so many firms are quoting histories as far back as the 1800s, this number may look almos...
Catteralls Solicitors:
At the moment nearly every search variant we tried such as 'cateralls solicitors' or 'catterals solicitors' still brought up the correct firm. A last word from Catterall's own site:
class="infoquote "We always put our clients first. Most law firms are signed up w...
Penerley Lawyers:
class="infoquote "our innovative and less-stuffy approach to providing legal services ensure that the focus is always on results"< div>
It's sad but true that many of the 'well-established' law firms that go around quoting they've been solicitors for over 200 yea...
The Search Bureau: SDLT.co.uk help stop stamp tax form rejections by pre-populating the forms and providing a printed SDLT5 certificate - they've handled over 3.6 million submissions to the HMRC already. But that's the case for most related service providers such as this conveyancing searches ...
Education Law Service Ltd:
You never know what scam will be next though so always make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments or bank details via email .
There are quite a few large firms that will take your Education Law case on.
class="infoquote "We offer a free...
Pump Court Chambers:
class="infoquote "Pump Court Chambers is one of the UK’s premier common law chambers"< div>
There is an ever growing number of such barristers qualifying to represent people under Direct Access. Words such as 'modern', 'leading', 'top', 'award-winning' and so on...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: The courts should be trying to repair the damage done. So highly are they publicly praised, they've felt comfortable enough to link their testimonials section to their TrustPilot reviews page instead. The main difference of the UK compensation process vs the US is that bei...
Lindsays Solicitors: The contact details and links above are for Calio Claims which is a specialist setup from Lindsays focusing on Personal Injury matters.
Hopefully we've given you a few new resources to use with these articles and provided a few bits of information you maybe didn't kno...
Aspire Licensing: In fact, an experienced accountant could cost much less yet be far more effective .
class="infoquote "Our advisors have over 10 years' experience of dealing with licensing and gaming applications and have a thorough understanding of licensing law, together with how th...
OTS Solicitors Ltd: Common errors we would expect such as dropping the extra 's' (i.e. At the time of writing they had over 450+ reviews on Google which is quite unheard of for a law firm . If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 601629 ots-solicitors-ltd" check the pages for this...
Reid Black Solicitors: Some of which have been past names but their current registered company name is Reid Black Solicitors Ltd. This is very different from the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) and we're putting together an article to explain the difference better. they don't even mention yo...
Howe + Co Solicitors: One of our staff worked in immigration (Liverpool) for about a year and confirms it can be a very emotionally strenous environment, and that's just for the workers.
class="infoquote "We have specialists lawyers to match every level of work that you require, ranging fro...
Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Whether a general commercial law issue, shareholder dispute, insolvency, employment disagreement, or a regulatory disciplinary matter.

"reassured me and helped me understand everything from start to finish"
"made the whole process really easy and straight forward"< div>
The majority of reviews were clearly very positive. Exactly what most peopl...
Aconveyancing Ltd: Also, there is a huge issue of fake reviews where for every negative comment posted - suddenly several 5 star reviews (from people who have only ever reviewed that one firm) suddenly appear. We also provide a fixed fee quotation, to help plan your finances from an early stag...
The Injury Solicitor Ltd: Such as:
class="infoquote "We use the latest technology to ensure that you are able to track the progress of your claim 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." < div>
As well as details of their charitable aims including planting a tree for every case and donating part of...
RD Costings: The site also states:
class="infoquote "You may be entitled to compensation if you have been a victim of a violent crime."< div>

McEwan Fraser Legal:
class="infoquote "Scotland's Award-Winning Solicitors and Estate Agents"< div>

APS Legal & Associates: Once you have the name of the law firm you can use the various resource we already recommend such as searching the relevant Law Society's website for background and qualification details.

Linkilaw Solicitors:

DFA Law LLP:
A last word from the DFA Law website which hopefully now sounds little more sincere after having checked through the extra bits and pieces above. DFA Law on the other hand has both a long establishment date and well-experienced staff on board:
