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: Just narrowly beating Welsh. Luckily there are quite a few good resources to find some deeper and more insightful information about firms that can help you make a decision about which practice or person to use. So that could be 17 x solicitors each with 5 years experience....


Antony Hodari Solicitors Review: The only common typo we saw in our logs was for www.anthonyhodari.co.uk with an 'h' in the first name. We've also seen many disgruntled reviews over solicitors refusing to take someone's case. The official site we link to above is www.antonyhodari.co.uk but at the moment www...


Argue & Co Legal Review: So how do you judge such things? Sadly in Scotland the Law Society does not provide nearly as much useful user-side information as their English Welsh counterpart. If this were a Family Fortunes game, the top answer as to why someone chose a firm would be ethusiasm. we will ...


Backhouse Solicitors Review: This includes Minal Backhouse who qualified in 1997, Clare Sheeran in 2001, Nathan Gray in 2018, right up to Sarina Hayes in 2020. We want to change that."< div> Rather than disecting every word on the firm's site like we do, most consumers immediately turn to third pa...


Beers LLP Review: However that doesn't mean we ignore flaws or hide negative press when we find it. class="infoquote "You have all been so efficient and made the whole process smooth running" "Always accessible for any queries or advice" "This was a much better experience than...


Bell Lax Solicitors Review: However Bell Lax's news section has a wide range of well written articles . That's the type that has several specialist solicitors under one roof. We've seen a criminal lawyer get a negative review for refusing to take on a divorce case. It can even look as though the...


BLZ Solicitors Review: A switch of sides from a solicitor is not something to be taken lightly and should really mark as a big plus when comparing services. On https: blzsolicitors.co.uk meet-the-team " the BLZ staff page< a> it initially looks as though they are doing the same. www.blzs...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP Review: So giving the impression they are well established and experienced is their last gambit for impressing any potential clients passing through their website. For example, at the time of writing the firm lists Steven Gardner who qualified as a solicitor back in 1970, Tania Au...


Bridge McFarland LLP Review: class="infoquote "The firm now has offices in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen and is considered one of the largest law firms in Lincolnshire, East and South Yorkshire and the Humber regions."< div> Another note on navigation is their official si...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Review: For example, if a firm says they have '20 years experience within the firm' or '20 years combined experience' that could mean they have 5 solicitors each with only 4 years experience. We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years and have never seen a prop...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co Review: An enviable group of staff to have at any firm surely? Legal-based or not. A huge mix of seasoned gurus along side fresh legs and ideas. There is a simply huge number of scams targeting law clients right now. But they are listed across the internet sometimes with that domain...


CEL Solicitors Review: The legal industry struggles badly with catching up with the times. If you want to see the disparity between the number of firms willing to take these cases on, just use our solicitor search function in the top right to search for 'road accident' legal help to see all ...


Cooks Solicitors Review: Newcastle RTB team where [sic] a nightmare to deal with and he managed them so well." "always kept me updated on what was going on and explained things" "i used nigel cook recentley [sic] ... That can surely only be a positive thing? class="infoquote "Each ma...


David Stinson & Co Review: class="infoquote "We have a proven track record of success with our clients and we cover a wide area of the county, including:"< div> Many firms claim long periods of experience with statements such as 'over 20 years experience within the firm'. The first means y...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk Review: 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two very different offers. Obviously the official site we link to above is www.disrepairclaim.co.uk but neither www.disrepairclaim.com or www.disrepairclaims.co.uk .com redirect you there. (No pun intended.) class="infoquo...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: Legal issues are very personal. The official site is https secure for filling your personal details into their contact forms. But just keep aware whether you've come back to the correct site by either bookmarketing it for later or searching for the correct firm. Unfortunat...


Fair Result Ltd Review: We also know all the industry specific marketing jargon a lot of lawyers use. We simply try to offer a sort of business insider view. Having worked in the legal industry for well over two decades now we've worked with hundreds of law firms and thousands of legal profess...


Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: 'One of' doesn't distinguish how many is included in that group (compared to clearer statements such as 'top 10' might do). That's thousands of websites and sales text we've sifted through. They provide alternate contact details, other trading names, languages spoking, quali...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: Just https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=fulton&Postcode=&type=firm" some search results< a> class="infoquote "We have been helping our clients from our base in the south side of Glasgow for many years."< div> That's a line quoted from the Fulton's...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Review: For example, if you see a law firm of two solicitors stating they cover a dozen different areas of law including Immigration - they are logically less likely to be able to keep fully updated on all legal guidelines for every case type versus an Immigration specialist firm....


Guardian Law Review: That's a good four decades of combined experience between them. This is all very important to consider though because there are a lot of scams targeting clients of lawyers these days. Almost obsessed. that they are not as easy to find for law professionals compare...


Hawkridge & Company Review: It's definitely something to keep in mind whenever you're checking for reviews about any firm that handles property matters. However for this you are usually able to check this independently and get a good insight into the overall experience a firm may have. No unsubstanti...


Hill House Chambers Review: they are qualified to ... There are accountants that can help with tax law matters, budget will writing firms, paralegal services, and so on. The Law Society of England & Wales provides this information on all solicitors which is great. So the fact this company receives pra...


HooperHyde Review: Certainly the language across the rest of the company's website also focuses on that mentality of long-term business relationships. The practice of having different brandings for various offices or case types within a firm became even more popular just over a decade ag...


Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Our lawyers are friendly and approachable, an important trait when dealing with client matters."< div> Again, this is something practically every law firm will say. If you flick through the data for Jacob's, you'll see they have solicitors from ...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd Review: This is often referred to as a 'conditional fee' arrangement and will typically be around 25% of your settlement. A quick note on navigation. Only a few decades ago people were pretty much restricted to using their local high street solicitor for everything from ...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd Review: There's also Alternative Business Structures (ABS) allowing companies to run law firms rather than it having to be actual solicitors. The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen from such organisations. Some have forced themselves to ...


Lefevres Law Review: A quick note on navigation too. In our honest opinion though, that's complete nonsense and any claims about founding dates should be utterly ignored. The age of the firm's branding is irrelevant and often a very tenuous claim anyway. class="infoquote "Extensive ex...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor Review: class="infoquote "Our legal service team have extensive experience"< div> One thing to be aware of when you're reading website text is that 'expert' and 'experience' are different things and you ideally want a firm with both . The full www.mackenziejones.co.uk ...


Mckie Legal Review: This is usually marked very clearly and carefully on each firm's website of course. This firm is registered with https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 624946 connectmetoalawyer-ltd" The Law Society of England & Wales< a> which has excellent user-side dat...


Michael Leighton Jones Review: So if there are very few or even zero reviews for a firm - that shouldn't be taken as a negative sign. The official website is the full www.michaelleightonjones.com but at the moment the full site also pops up on www.michaelleightonjones.co.uk as well. Here at 1to1Lega...


Milners Solicitors Review: They handle private individual matters including Employment Law, Conveyancing, Personal Injury, Debt Bankruptcy, and Wills Probate. Add to that people messing with things like using Milner's instead and we think it's a good idea to bookmark the correct site or using a sear...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: It usually relates to the length of time the firm has been running or the highest number of years a specific lawyer at the firm has been working at the job. They all seem to be relating to the same firm but this is important to keep aware of because this firm deals wi...


My Law Matters Review: We can honestly say that in the past two decades we've never seen that happen . The official site we link to above is www.mylawmatters.co.uk but www.mylawmatters.com does not redirect you there. This can be to highlight a particular case type as a specialty or simply to c...


OneLaw Chambers Review: This allowed clients to pursue cases against negligent third parties without having to be afraid of huge legal bills at the outset or if their case loses. class="infoquote "outcome was successful and the solicitor Aejaz Mussa I dealt with was helpful, honest and a sub...


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. When reviews do start popping up though (and even in your searches of any company really) you need to take the time t...


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. Employment Law ... Because the actions needed for each of the case titles quoted can follow ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors Review: Depending on the type of case you may also be able to receive 100% of your compensation as well. However the term is being used correctly in this instance. The usual amount is 25% of the settlement. These have become heavy targets for scammers who https: www.techadvisor....


Simper Law Ltd Review: 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 the services provided. They even kick off their website with a self-description of being...


Smith and Graham Solicitors Review: A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'. The other item in the original quote is about client happiness and the obvious place to check that out is the public forums such as https: www.google.com search?q=smith+and+graham+middlesbrough&rlz=1C1CH...

Brown and Co Solicitors Review: You'll get a lot of opinions on social boards or 'help' articles about the pros cons of using a large law firm, a small local firm, a specialist, a general practice firm, etc. They have an actual fees page which is definitely a rarity amongst legal providers as well. That's...


Springle & Co Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Our fees are fully transparent from the outset." < div> Last note of something that stood out to us. How do you work out which firm might be best for you? Every solicitor's website will tell you they are the best firm for you. Plus with m...


Stowe Family Law Review: It's not uncommon for well-known divorce firms to demand £hundreds in a retainer deposit before even meeting with you. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 543705 stowe-family-law-llp" check out their pages< a> you can see office addresses, contact deta...


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. Sounds like the best ...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: There were quite a few negative complaints about the company on the Google review pages. Often after a specific feedback form has been filled out. They usually include words like 'modern', 'friendly', or 'one of the leading' which all sound great but actually don't tell...


Taylor Price Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Emails have been sent misusing the name and contact details of Taylor Price Solicitors. We've seen that more times than should be expected.) Certainly there is a lot of praise and accompanying acronyms being thrown around their staff too. ...


Thaxted Legal Ltd Review: A quick note on navigation though as the firm's official website is www.thaxtedlegal.com which we've linked to above but none of the variants such as www.thaxtedlegal.co.uk, www.thaxted.co.uk or the .com redirect you there. But the phrase 'no news is good news' has stood the...


Stephanie Heijdra Review: We hope that helps clarify some differences between solicitors and barrister when researching. class="infoquote "She went on to study for a Degree in Business Management at BPP University London in aid of her thriving immigration practice Winvolved Consultancy ...


The Legal Practice Ltd Review: So whilst other industries have moved on to the point where restaurants, technologies, and even just social media sites are favoured by their newness - many solicitors still cling to the idea that ancient is better when it comes to law. Many of the articles we write will f...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd Review: Whilst we normally haven't used the firms we write about to handle a case for us (obviously, as we review hundreds of law firms) we will have at least interacted and or worked with some of the staff. Rhod Gilbert's https: www.youtube.com watch?v=drKC3Zd3SqM" award winning...


ULA Solicitors Ltd Review: ULA apparently started out with just a single case type in mind, having set up as: class="infoquote "... class="infoquote "We provide out-of-hours assistance to those who are arrested and require urgent support."< div> They have https: www.ulasolicitors.c...


WH Solicitors Review: People are just often far less inclined to publicly discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, or brain injuries on comment boards than they about the pizza they had yesterday. A quick note on navigation should be made though because when looking up reviews on the public forums we d...

Two Harcourt Buildings Review: class="infoquote "Her calm yet firm demeanour instills confidence in clients from the outset of a case" "persuasive and direct" "His case preparation is first-rate" "His advocacy is precise and measured, and he is a very effective cross-examiner"< div> Becaus...


Woodstock Legal Services Review: So always makes sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments via email. . Some law firms list hobbies, pets names, and even favourite colours which we think is not only pointless, but a little off putting on a serious legal services site. It's not as if an...


Youngs Solicitors Review: It may seem odd for a legal practice to claim they are 'specialists' when they list a wide range of case types handled at the firm. Most importantly, it does not pay out an up to date payment rate for solicitors. Normally we also praise The Law Society of England & Wale...
