Editorials on UK Legal Companies Page Four
Apprise Legal Services: If you've already read a few of these review articles on our site, you'll know that we always try our best to find more varied types of firms to recommend rather than simply stuffing our directory with hundreds of firms (where the only difference between them seems to be the...
Aina Khan Law Ltd: In other words, it lists real accomplishments rather than vague hints at greatness whilst never crossing the line into obnoxious boasting. These are the same firm and both phrases should bring up the correct website www.ainakhanlaw.com on search engines. She provides decis...
Taborns Legal Business: Taborns went above and beyond to understand our requirements and source the individuals we needed." "Taborns interact seamlessly between barrister and client, and their instructions are thorough."< div> They also have a genuine News section. For example, this could...
R James Hutcheon Solicitors: For example, if you've been injured in a car accident resulting in whiplash that gave you pain for a couple of weeks - it's not as if one firm might get you £3,000 and another get you £10,000. There is just as much chance that you'll get a 1-year-experienced solicitor from a...
Penn Chambers Solicitors: class="infoquote "Penn Chambers Solicitors offer comprehensive legal advice and representation at court."< div> Another huge potential benefit of using this firm over some others is this ability to do both. Meaning customer engagement and feedback monitoring are ...
Frank Rogers Law Ltd: It's something that gained prevalance after a number of celebrities (mostly premier league footballers) were breaking the law and getting away with it thanks to a lawyer nicknamed Mr Loophole by the press. It's a common misconception that general practice firms are always le...
OJ Solicitors Ltd: The more high quality firms will always take a cut of your compensation.
Unfortunately, in our opinion The Law Society of Scotland website is nowhere near as good as it's English Welsh counterpart when it comes to helping people with their search for legal help. Howe...
Kudos Legal Ltd: A lot of staff being mentioned by name in the reviews too. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. Including a firm stating a 150 year history based on having moved into the building of an older firm. We include general law firms, niche practices, sole practitioners, barristers,...
Serious Law LLP: However Serious Law really do tick a lot of boxes.
This claim of a high reputation amongst their peers is also backed up by a good number of quotes on third party sites:
class="infoquote "Serious Law are right up there with the best in terms of calibre of lawyers...
5 Essex Court: We've never understood why so many law firms feel the need to share all the staff's hobbies and favourite foods. This naturally means a great opportunity to save both time and money:
class="infoquote "The Direct Public Access scheme introduced in 2004 enables barrist...
Avery Walters Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our expert team of Residential Conveyancers have over 50 years experience of buying and selling residential property all over the UK."< div>
This is often where some firms can get 'clever' with their maths to mislead people.
class="infoquot...
AWH Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We understand that the legal process can be daunting and the associated costs hard to keep track of, so we offer a clear price guarantee."< div>
Luckily the old days of heavy hourly rates and surprise bills at the end of a case are pretty much g...
Hampson Hughes Solicitors: We tried a few on Google and the majority of the time the correct firm showed up but none of the domain varients we tried did. One of the founders of our own 1to1Legal Firm (Mike Beverley) actually started off as an accident investigator in Liverpool for a nationwide firm of...
Lawcomm Solicitors: My solicitor Sophie has been so helpful."
"Very helpful, lawcomm always picked up phone calls straight away. Usually when we write an article on a firm that handles conveyancing, people are often confused to see us promoting and praising a firm that may have hundreds of...
Redwood Collections Ltd: I was very pleased with the outcome ..."< div>
Oddly the vast majority of the reviews are positive on Google, Yelp, Yellow Pages and others. On the 1to1Legal search function we always try to ensure there's a balanced number of specialist firms such as this alongside the...
Alexander JLO Solicitors: We're not fans of companies that fill their profiles with everyone's favourite foods, colours, hobbies and pet's names. But here's an example of one negative review:
class="infoquote "This firm handled the conveyancing for the buyer of my flat in Central London. On the...
GloverPriest Solicitors:
If you want to know more about any particular solicitor at any firm you can usually get it from The Law Society website. This may be reserved for house purchases sales only though. The official site is www.gloverpriest.com and not even the normal www.gloverpriest.co.uk...
Jarmans Solicitors Ltd: i was made to feel at ease with Gordon Johnson"
• "I highly recommend Jay Sahota and his team ..." < div>
How does these compare with the third party independent review sites? Well, our first tip before even heading to third party boards such as Yelp, Yellow P...
33Legal Ltd:
They also mention Legal Aid - another thing most solicitors won't work with any more - but the majority of personal injury claims will come under a no win, no fee arrangement anyway. Nothing about the facts or background we provide not being useful.
class="infoq...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors: Working with the law and the court system is the simplest and most effective way of resolving a matter. Obviously with the double 'm' and double 't' there are possibilities of tired keyboard slips and misspellings so we would recommend bookmarking the main site to come back...
Driscoll Kingston: We have seen one firm stating a 15 year establishment date when neither of the two solicitors currently working there had been qualified for more than a couple of years. It actually reads like a review page from a mainstream review site rather than the blurb on a movie poste...
SBW Law Ltd: We keep repeating it as much as we can: you can get a 1-year novice solicitor handling your case at a 200-year-old firm the same as you can get a 40-year highly experience lawyer working at a 1-year-old law office. At this office the range of experience goes from Alasdair Br...
IWC Probate & Will Services: These are people with no legal qualifications that discuss your case in depth with you and take all the details.
class="infoquote "There are various of ways to contact us, including Telephone, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, BBM, Mail, Webform or Email. There are...
Briffa Legal Ltd: The Briffa Blog on the other hand is written by various members of staff who simply seem to want to comment, point out, or express their opinion about current intellectual property matters.
Why am I bringing this up? Because I'm about to write a very glowing review ...
Helix Law Ltd: Please note, the spelling and typo errors are copy pasted directly:
class="infoquote "Helix Law are ha ppy to go the extra mile, provide accurate advice and layout all options clearly for a layman to understand. Tell us your problem and lets see if we can help."< div>
...
Leech & Co: Therefore a legal practice with a mere 25+ years behind it might sound in its infancy. We definitely throw a large wad of Kudos their way for bringing it up though. Apparently there are over 2000+ such locations across the UK so I imagine the majority of solicitors dealing...
Joanna Connolly Solicitors: For consumer credit disputes, they also list themselves as consumer credit specialists, helping consumers when court proceedings are either being threatened or already issued. No conflicts - which is nice. Make sure to ask and discuss in depth how and when the solicitor taki...
CFG Law: Hence the reason for this piece. I had to get another member of staff to come and explain why I'd stopped him too, because the doctor didn't speak english. The fact more firms don't include them on their websites boggles the mind. If you've tripped on a paving slab and scrap...
HJA Solicitors: However, the type and scope of work HJA gets involved with seems to have resulted in the availability of hundreds of reviews to flick through should you feel the need. They still work with Legal where possible, but every year it seems that government cuts strip away access...
CSL Law Ltd: From a statistical and sociological standpoint - that's a positive thing.
The typical review sites such as Yell, 192, Yelp, and Google have only a handful of comments and (at the time of writing) only the latter had a single negative one displayed. So to make sure peopl...
RSR Law Ltd: As we've mentioned before in other articles - No Win, No Fee does not mean no fees at all and firms are not always clear about this on their websites, often mixing in other catchphrases such as "100% compensation" as well. Contact. Timescale. Confused? Well, take this exampl...
The Johnson Partnership: I would usually have zero notes other than the person's name, and have to wing it during interviews. More than 93% of our clients qualify for legal aid. Both www.johnsonpartnership.co.uk and www.johnsonpartnership.com are owned by other people too so it's probably best to bo...
Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd: Neither the www.autologistic.com version or the full name www.autologisticsolutions.co.uk www.autologisticsolutions.com versions have actual websites on them. If you had to pay for it because of the accident, you can claim it back along with the injury compensation.
...
White Collar Legal: So what else can we compare instead?
Whilst flicking through various law sites, you may have noticed some asking you to follow their Twitter feed or 'Like' them on Facebook. (However the B.A.R. Then underneath the list it states:
class="infoquote "...
All ...
Kings View Chambers: This only helps to re-enforce the idea of saving the website rather than trying to find it again later on. Protester's hoped to force the courts to clarify and bar Boris from being both.
Whilst the firm's two barristers, Stephen McCaffrey and Catherine Stock, have ove...
Kings Court Trust Ltd: We obviously haven't been able to test it out though. KCT's Chief Executive, Tom Curran, https: www.legalfutures.co.uk latest-news exclusive-leading-probate-provider-becomes-abs" said at the time< a>:
class="infoquote "It has been our long-standing goal to be regula...
Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors: That's not a bad thing. If you haven't read our bits about law firm phishing - do so. That's my point.
If I had to pick something to criticise (and what review would be complete without a bit of nit-picking) I'd prefer less text on each page.
The firm has received...
Davey Law:
Mark Tawn became a solicitor in 1994 and for the past 20 years has specialised in personal injury litigation. Any company that can't offer something special, is believed to be risking failure. If you've read through any of the previous 49 pieces, you'll know that we ju...
Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors: Only the super rich will hire an expensive London expert, then fly them up to Bradford to visit them at the police station and go to court. We also had trouble with some bits on the site which were in Flash which is no longer supported on some browsers, especially tablets an...
Balfour+Manson LLP: Insurance companies, supermarkets, even plumbers can just overhaul their company and websites to be modern with modern language. Plus, as an Aberdonian myself, my experience of Balfour Manson is not limited to the last few years I've been working with them. I had no idea!
...
Murray Hay Solicitors: He established the firm in Putney in 1988 as a property specialist, and certainly there does seem to be a leaning towards those types of matters. "
- "We both found you provided an excellent service at a good price – also you treated us like old friends though we had ne...
Thompsons Solicitors Scotland: Certainly they list quite a few including 'Firm of the Year' at the http: kdmedia.co.uk legalawards " Scott + Co Legal Awards< a> and 'Litigation Firm of the Year' at the same awards the following year. First: 'award-winning' . The fact Thompsons take rehabilitation...
Ashworth Motoring Law: The clue is in the name. 'loopholes'. They also promise access to the country's best scientific experts as well as "the most infamous trial barristers" .
Case types covered include:
Speeding Offences
Drink Driving
Drug Driving
Contesting Blood and Urine Sa...
Jackson Lees Group:
This slightly more 'modern' approach, meant that we were surprised to see Jackson Canter buy such an old, established, well-known firm like Lees. As you may or may not know, Jackson Canter is now Jackson Lees solicitors. So, now everything seems to be accessible from t...
ACS Accident Claims Scotland: But there are sometimes fees if the case wins. For almost a decade now, we've only ever allowed actual law firms on our panel for people to search for. In Scotland there is often some confusion about "no win, no fee" and "100% compensation". But from 1999 to 2007, it was n...
Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors: The standard words are all there, they are just written in an identifiable character that seems ... I have said I never want to move again but if I do I will definitely come back to Lambert Pugh and will be recommending them to anyone else I know wanting to move. that you wi...
McShanes Solicitors: They advise on every aspect of buying, selling or letting a property. www.mcshane.co.uk and www.mcshane.com) too. McShanes claim such a reputation but (thankfully) do not cover their website with crass stories about the, often uncommon, super-large payouts achieved.
