BLZ Solicitors Review: One solicitor has experience with the immigration process whilst the other originally worked for the 'enemy' - i.e. BLZ Ltd is the same firm, it's just their official Limited registered name. One thing we have frequently quoted as a dislike on law firm's websites is the...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP Review: yeah. class="infoquote "We get to know you and take the time to understand your unique needs"< div> That brings us back to the original query at the start of this article about whether this firm has anything beyond just comments about having a long history. ...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co Review: It's actually not even a sort of franchise either like people who open their own McDonalds restaurant.

CEL Solicitors Review: Then search for firms handling 'financial mis-selling' matters. Even though those are both types of litigation case - the disparity between the number of firms willing to help for each is quite staggering class="infoquote "Everyone at CEL Solicitors is passionate abo...
Cooks Solicitors Review: Again though, whilst many solicitors use different trading names to highlight specific case types out of the same office - this one relates to a completely individual office location within the Young & Co group. They are certainly meaningless, but also often completely tenuo...
David Stinson & Co Review: They are therefore obviously going to be very positive and sadly they rarely contain much helpful information about what the actual good points of the firm are. 9 times out of 10 they will just be variations of 'I would recommend them highly'. class="infoquote "We wor...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk Review: They will put out spammy posts in groups offering cash or supermarket vouchers if you refer a friend for a claim. To get the mould destroyed. Most of the time unregulated claims resellers hide out on social media sites like Facebook. 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensa...
DV Solicitors Review: Never discuss payments or bank details over email. Most people (according to our poll a couple of years ago) don't trust company testimonial pages.

Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: Nor do any of the hyphentated variants (dylan-nair) or typical typos (dylanair). If you too have already been through dozens of websites today looking for a solicitor to help you with a legal matter, you may have noticed many firms all claiming to be 'modern', 'expert...
Fair Result Ltd Review: We did ask around our own office if anyone might want to get a divorce in order to test out this firm's claims. yet. 'One of' - out of how many? A thousand firms? 'Leading' - leading in what? That could be leading in the number of cases lost for all we know. With the gener...
Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: There are also many positive things to pick out between the lines which many consumers could probably miss. At 1to1Legal we also have a staff member who went through law school whilst working here, so we're very aware there does need to be a fair bit of flexibility a...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: But if a firm states 'we have thirty years of combined experience within the firm' - that could mean ten members of staff with just three years of experience each. Fultons do not seem to have done so, but that's not really a big issue considering that in our poll last year...
Hawkridge & Company Review: Because nine times out of ten the firm will state they are such without providing any noticeable explanation or links to information about what exactly the award was for. class="infoquote "excellent friendly polite proffesional staff" "worked through the case very...
Hill House Chambers Review: We ran a poll a few years back and the number of people that trusted company provided customer testimonials wasn't even in the double digits. Why it took so long to make this available to the public in the UK - who knows. Does that mean a much better experience overall? ...
HooperHyde Review: Certainly the language across the rest of the company's website also focuses on that mentality of long-term business relationships. There are national, county, city, and even case specific societies which legal professionals can join. Motoring Offences and Divorce clients ha...
Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: www.jacobs-law.co.uk (for Jacobs & Co Solicitors) shows up high in the search results and has a similar domain.

KRS Estate Planning Ltd Review: Sadly, most law firms we've seen (and we've been reviewing them for over 20 years now) still do not work weekends.

Lefevres Law Review: In our honest opinion though, that's complete nonsense and any claims about founding dates should be utterly ignored. At 1to1Legal we try to get a varied selection of options for people to choose from. Usually this might cause some concern over potential issues such as ' h...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor Review: class="infoquote "In a tough legal world we are here to fight your corner."< div> If you've scrolled through a dozen solicitor websites already today, you'll probably have noticed many of them have phrases like this which sound good but don't necessarily help yo...
Mckie Legal Review: We've seen negative reviews about firms that refused to take people's cases. Most scammers target law firm clients that will be making a payment to their solicitor. Please note though that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two totally separate offers. It's v...
Michael Leighton Jones Review: This includes the partners Hugh Thomas (qualified as a solicitor in 1977) and Michael Jones (qualified in 1985).

Richmond Legal Ltd Review: Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to cover a multitude of services, there are some that clearly go well beyond their capabilities.

Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors Review: So if a legal service provider has few or even zero reviews, don't take it as a negative sign . class="infoquote "We have dealt with a wide variety of cases."< div> Is there a way to find out how experienced a solicitor is? Glad you asked. class="infoquote...
Simper Law Ltd Review: For some reason though, the legal industry still has the complete opposite mentality. This is showcased by the number of law firms still boasting ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1771' as if having an ancient brand name above the door makes a difference to th...
Smith and Graham Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Established in 1888, Smith and Graham Solicitors has continued to expand into one of the leading firms in the North East of England"< div> While that establishment date looks impressive, it is one of the last things we take into consideration w...

Stenfield Solicitors Review:
class="infoquote "83% of new clients are recommended to us through word of mouth"< div>
A quick note on navigation because although we link to the official site above as www.stenfield.com, there is a completely different firm using the www.stenfield.co.uk domain. ...
Stowe Family Law Review: So you can't just go on Google, type the firm name, and see all reviews in this instance. So the name is still quite unique. Many firms will have testimonials on their website, but as they tend to be only the best possible comments - people want to find those disgruntled cu...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors Review: 'summerfield browne birmingham') to get reviews only on that office rather than the firm as a whole.

Trojan Solicitors Ltd Review: The official site we link to above is www.trojansolicitors.com but currently www.trojansolicitors.co.uk does not redirect there. These days the high-street-solicitor is not the only option available to people to resolve certain issues.
