Over the past 20 years we've written hundreds of articles about the legal industry. Here are a selection about individual firms. Whilst we obviously have not used all of their services, we have worked with many of them and can point out general tips for researching which firm to use and what questions to ask:

ABS Lawyers Ltd Review: class="infoquote "if someone wants to fight for compensation, their help will be a good choice" "the topic was already closed and nothing could be won, but under their supervision somehow it moved forward" "So for me such support from the law firm was very im...


Antony Hodari Solicitors Review: Antony Hodari's claims in the snippet above were taken from their front page and are much more believable and can be checked on too. It certainly does help to have someone very interested in your specific case type handling the matter for you though. You might also see cla...


Argue & Co Legal Review: We've seen conveyancing firms with over a thousand reviews on a single review site. We've talked to hundreds upon hundreds of potential clients over the twenty years we've been working in the legal industry. No, really. Even zero reviews is not a bad sign. class="inf...


Backhouse Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Visiting a solicitor can be a daunting experience, particularly if you’ve never done it before. Backhouse Solicitors actually display several of their https: www.google.com search?q=backhouse+solicitors+chelmsford&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsr...


Beers LLP Review: The official website we link to above is www.beersllp.com but www.beersllp.co.uk does not redirect you there. class="infoquote "Established in 1885, and now with offices in Kingsbridge and Plymouth, we have been providing generations of clients with high quality legal ...


Bell Lax Solicitors Review: The first is merely how long the firm's brand name has been active. So within the firm there will be a solicitor expert in Family Law, one expert in Personal Injury, one expert in Criminal Law, and so on. We've seen a solicitor with several five star reviews for their 'aweso...


BLZ Solicitors Review: defending NIHL companies from claimants. Their site is https secure though so entering your information on the contact form should be fine. These four case types are not exactly the easiest or the best paying in relation to lawyer earnings elsewhere. class="infoquot...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP Review: We've even seen negative comments from the losing side in a court matter. However it really all depends on how the firm is set up . Branch Austin McCormick has a wide range of experience amongst their staff with solicitors who started their careers in all five of the l...


Bridge McFarland LLP Review: If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today looking for a good match for legal help , you'll probably be frustrated by the similar sounding sales language and even similar looking images. has held the Law Society’s quality standard accreditation mark, L...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Review: Also while the firm's branding uses an ampersand, such characters https: uniregistry.com blog post the-symbols-of-brand-domain-confusion" don't exist< a> in web addresses so variants such as www.buchanan&co.co.uk will not work. Be careful though as some firms use sneaky m...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co Review: class="infoquote "QualitySolicitors is a group of modern, progressive law firms providing legal advice for individuals and businesses with over 100 high street locations. Especially those with https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-fir...


CEL Solicitors Review: We've seen someone leave a negative review about a Criminal Law firm for refusing to take on their Divorce. The legal industry struggles badly with catching up with the times. To be fair, it's not as if a company can claim to be the opposite and still sound good - i.e. But...


Cooks Solicitors Review: Whilst that might mean you'll need slightly more concentration to make sure your researching information about the actual office rather than the group as a whole - most of the time everyone else has not bothered to do the same. The largest conveyancy provider in ...


David Stinson & Co Review: As mentioned before, having different trading names within one law firm is quite common if the practice wishes to focus and drive more business in a specific type of case. In fact, you should never be charged any fees either up front or during the case. We have discovered re...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk Review: They are a Claims Management Company specialising in the very niche case focus of Landlord Tenant disputes about https: www.itv.com news 2021-04-13 investigation-launched-into-disgusting-damp-and-mouldy-council-housing-after-itv-news-report" disrepair matters within rente...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: Legal issues are very personal. class="infoquote "We take the time to get to know our clients, work in partnership with them and are always striving for the best results."< div> There is a glut of people willing to share their feelings about any company or produ...


Fair Result Ltd Review: Once you have decided you want a divorce, the application and Decree Nisi itself is relatively easy. As if on seeing 'established in 1821' on a law firm's site, the general public will believe a 200 year old solicitor is sat on a throne somewhere in the office imparting sage...


Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: But on a law website it can look to some as almost brand new. Alternative Dispute Resolution or Mediation companies can be fantastic too for hopefully taking the inherent confrontational aggressiveness out of a Divorce matter. Since the 90s the government has been stripping ...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: The full branding of this firm is Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents with the official website being www.fultons-scotland.co.uk which we link to above. One thing to watch out for when going through reviews for conveyancing firms is to always read the actual review ...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Review: A quick note on navigation with the firm's official website being www.goldsmithbowers.com however www.goldsmithbowers.co.uk does not currently redirect there. Firms will sometimes have testimonial pages and here are a few snippets from the spots on the Goldsmith Bowe...


Guardian Law Review: that they are not as easy to find for law professionals compared to other industries. Please also note that the firm's original HR site at www.yourhrlawyer.co.uk has now moved to www.guardian.online as a separate resources. At the time of writing we could only find a total o...


Hawkridge & Company Review: A quick note on navigation because we are talking about a property dealing firm. class="infoquote "excellent friendly polite proffesional staff" "worked through the case very methodically but still managed to achieve the deadline needed" "seamless, profe...


Hill House Chambers Review: they are qualified to ... class="infoquote "Are you a solicitor looking for a barrister to instruct, or a member of the public looking for the right direct access barrister for your case, what should you be looking for?"< div> That snippet from the Hill House web...


HooperHyde Review: (5x2=10) That's another great use for the law society website because you can check the actual expertise and experience of individual solicitors within the firms. But they're understandably less likely to share their experiences about a messy divorce, criminal charges...


Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: But that's simply not true. A good mix of seasoned and fresh, experienced and enthusiastic - and that can't possibly be a bad thing. That's why we can often point out things the average consumer wouldn't notice or consider. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves o...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd Review: So if you see one written on a solicitor's site it does not mean both are on offer. But coming back to the original statement we're continuing to expand on: class="infoquote "offering an effective and first class no win no fee service"< div> This is another import...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd Review: Thanks to creation of the internet, law firms are able to select the case types they are good at and then find clients from further afield - rather than having to cater to their local population. In some cases these companies do as little as taking the will you've writ...


Lefevres Law Review: The name is quite unique so any searches for 'lefevers solicitors', 'lefevere's law', or other commonly expected errors all still brought up the correct site in searches. It's just that for Litigation matters, solicitors tend to list all the various types of injury separatel...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor Review: That's because there isn't much else for them to say. If we do add a general law practice in an area though, we try to find one that looks the most 'solid'. Always make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments or bank details via email. Sadly we've se...


Mckie Legal Review: Normally we would have a mini-rant about 'protecting clients from scammers', but that's not really necessary here. class="infoquote "Mckie Legal is a Trading Name of Connectmetoalawyer Limited"< div> That's useful because even if you can't find a lot of informatio...


Michael Leighton Jones Review: Scammers email clients saying they are the solicitor and telling them the bank details for payment have changed. That's very common though. They provide a wealth of user-side data including all office locations, other trading names used, languages spoken, as well as the qual...


Milners Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "At Milners solicitors we offer a free initial consultation where you can speak to a member of our specialist team."< div> This may sound like an offer you'd expect from every law firm these days. This becomes important to note because the fi...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: They haven't even added on the expertise of any other staff at the firm which probably comes to another 10 years on top. Alan Vincent shows a qualification date in 1978 with the son, Michael Vincent, qualifying in 2011. We've seen solicitor's praised for the great pizza and ...


My Law Matters Review: (No, really.) Whilst there is a negative comment about this firm on https: www.google.com search?q=my+law+matters&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=My+Law+Matters&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j46i175i199i512l2j0i512j46i175i199i512j0i512j69i60.780j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x...

Pacific Law Review: However, to state 'pay no attention to this reviewer, they are just a sore loser' has never felt like something they could pull off and look good doing. This could include breaking away from the typical 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours and offering some late night appointment...


Rose Fendlen Law Review: So whilst an individual solicitor saying they are a specialist in Family Law, Wills, Injuries, Property and Criminal Law doesn't make a whole lot of sense - on this occasion it does. The only difference will be on whether they charge you for running the case or provide somet...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors Review: A 1-year-old firm might have several 40-year veterans on staff . If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 464412 reynolds-macdonald" check out the page< a> for any firm on their site you should be able to see all office locations, any alternate trading name...

Smith and Graham Solicitors Review: We've seen law firms with 5 star reviews for their food and 1 star reviews for the bad haircut they got. class="infoquote "always available when we had questions" "Fair priced and transparent in their dealings" "responsive and always kept me updated with the deve...

Brown and Co Solicitors Review: Make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss bank details or payments by email. So what are people saying about the firm on the independent boards: class="infoquote "answer phonecalls and reply emails almost immediately and even on weekends" "never had...


Springle & Co Solicitors Review: Solicitors are such a firm, specialising in Estate Planning matters such as Wills, Probate, and Powers of Attorney. class="infoquote "The law is complex but we explain everything in plain English."< div> Life is complicated and so is death unfortunately.

Stowe Family Law Review: Some firms have very little writing with massive images of people shaking hands and smiling. At the time of writing the full list of office locations listed on the firm's website are: Beverley, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Ilkley, Leeds, Malton, Sheffield, Wetherby, York,...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "We have a team of highly experienced lawyers who have all either, worked for leading law firms, or held senior positions in law firms."< div> But a good setup isn't even half the battle when finding the best firm for you. A risk https: www.kn...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: The official site we link to is www.swainandco.com but www.swainandco.co.uk is for a different firm. QualitySolicitors). They usually include words like 'modern', 'friendly', or 'one of the leading' which all sound great but actually don't tell you anything about the firm ...


Taylor Price Solicitors Review: The firm deals with property matters which is currently one of the biggest areas of law where people are targeted by such scammers. Another was a finalist for Best Professional in Business at the https: www.asianimage.co.uk news 17695705.8th-english-asian-business-awards-c...


Thaxted Legal Ltd Review: Sometimes, like many consumers, we just have to go with our gut. Immigration is an area of law like Divorce and Motor Offences where people really do want an expert. One - that they are interested in being generally helpful to people seeking such help. They were all ...


Stephanie Heijdra Review: As she works on her own her website is therefore much more focused in providing information about her. This is despite her working in the industry since at least 2014 according to the BSB certificate. Usually we do not include company provided testimonials after the poll...

ULA Solicitors Ltd Review: class="infoquote "We are a team of senior solicitors who combine their knowledge and expertise in representing our clients on the most serious and complex of cases."< div> Most firms make claims about having years, decades, or even (tenuously) centuries of experi...


WH Solicitors Review: That's not to dismiss larger firms with multiple specialists on board. Whilst many provide testimonials on their website, our poll a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted company-provided reviews. A quick note on navigation should be made though because...

Two Harcourt Buildings Review: A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible representation. We've been doing this 20 years and didn't understand a lot of it either. The latter is typically a full team of various staff working together with receptionists, PAs, HR departme...


Woodstock Legal Services Review: class="infoquote "You will find us approachable, straight-forward and responsive."< div> Unfortunately there is often a lot of sales-pitchy language on any law firm's website. But please read on and see if you would agree. class="infoquote "Our lawyers are ...


Youngs Solicitors Review: Each branding has it's own local office and website too. There are essentially three ways a case range will be set up for any firm though. It's just that we try to focus on more general discussions about ways to check and things to watch for that can be applied to most law...
