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: There should therefore be no confusion there, but currently most of the common error typo variations we would expect such as www.abslaw.co.uk, www.abslawyer.co.uk, or www.abssolicitors.co.uk .com are not owned by anyone. The official website we link to is www.abslawyers....


Antony Hodari Solicitors Review: But we didn't find out the spark that created Antony Hodari. It takes all sorts I guess. Antony Hodari himself qualified in 1981, Emma Rees in 2000, right up to Rozina Bibi who qualified in 2017. The official site we link to above is www.antonyhodari.co.uk but at the moment ...


Argue & Co Legal Review: That brings us back to the tie-breaker we mentioned before and why we always recommend calling the firm to speak to someone. class="infoquote "... No win no fee is not the same as the 100% compensation slogans you see some firms declaring as well. The reason f...


Backhouse Solicitors Review: 'backhouse solicitors chelmsford') when searching to get the correct reviews to pop up because sometimes if a firm has a name similar to serveral others Google will return no reviews despite there being plenty. Because if you see a rival firm with only 5 reviews that's actua...


Beers LLP Review: Obviously alternatives such as www.beers.com or .co.uk bring up beverage related websites and none of the beerllp variants were owned by anyone. Again, a very good reason to read the comments fully first. Unlike hairdressers or restaurants, law firms can end up with negative...


Bell Lax Solicitors Review: The official website is www.belllax.com (triple 'l') with www.belllax.co.uk redirecting you there too. Luckily (again) you can use the Law Society website to look up whether the solicitor you've been chatting to does actually focus on your type of case. There were no common ...


BLZ Solicitors Review: www.blzsolicitors.co.uk is the official site we link to above and currently www.blzsolicitors.com doesn't seem to be owned by anyone. Their site is https secure though so entering your information on the contact form should be fine. class="infoquote "Your case will b...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP Review: In this Facebook Instagram age - people really do feel more of a connection with a firm if there are photos and descriptions of the staff. Why people fall for that and don't call their solicitor to check before sending tens of thousands of pounds - we don't know. yeah. For...


Bridge McFarland LLP Review: If it was an award for best logo design, then that doesn't really help you as a potential client. Take this example: class="infoquote "Bridge McFarland LLP is a leading regional law firm that holds an exceptional local, national and international reputation"< div> ...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Review: If you've been through a few other articles or pages of this site you may have noticed that 1to1Legal tries to offer a range of service providers with flexible search options - rather than cramming 100+ of the same type of firm into a directory. However every firm we add to ...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co Review: Whilst most of our articles are about individual firms along with the pros cons and things that stood out, today's piece on Burton & Co LLP will have to cover some new ground. With all this going for them, it was therefore strange to see the firm having an absolutely h...


CEL Solicitors Review: So to see CEL stating something that turned out to be both true AND not jargon-twisted - is a much bigger deal for us than you might think! class="infoquote "Our services include: data breach claims, fraud claims, housing disrepair claims, Japanese knotweed claims, la...


Cooks Solicitors Review: However the problems of usually come from emails or people typing the wrong web address directly in to their browser. So the fact Cooks Solicitors have kept the same branding even though it's p...


David Stinson & Co Review: But the solicitor may take a cut of your compensation should you win. However for smaller more simple cases such as a two week whiplash injury as a passenger in a car accident - we would not expect the lawyer to take any part of your compensation. The first means you will ha...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk Review: So whilst we still are not keen on the whole CMC thing as a general rule, in this instance using a company like DisrepairClaim.co.uk may be the only available option for many. class="infoquote "Depending on the solicitor we refer you to, the No Win, No Fee success f...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: So when Dylan Nair make a public statement on their site like this, it's not something to be glossed over . Legal issues are very personal. It may be a sad side-effect of the Facebook Instagram age we live in but many people do make decisions about whether to use a solicito...


Fair Result Ltd Review: The key is agreeing the financial settlement in the form of a consent order, this is where we believe we are unique."< div> In the same vein, many firms also state they have a 'uniqueness' just like Fair Result have done. Having worked in the legal industry for wel...


Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: With so many high street solicitors to choose from though, how do we at 1to1Legal decide which firms to include in our search database and which to skip over? Below are some criteria and resources we use. It's one of those marketing jargon phrases that sounds great but...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: Don't just flick through star ratings. Why people fall for that, we don't know. There were the expected negative reviews though which did tend to follow the common pattern for negative comments of conveyancing firms - e.g. You'll may also see negative reviews from peop...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Review: Excellent recovery rates"< div> We would never generally recommend one firm over another as each client's individual circumstances and even location play a huge role in which firm might be best for them. However we see such claims as basic marketing ploys. Whoever it w...


Guardian Law Review: class="infoquote "Our role is to guide and support you through contentious staff issues affecting your business as painlessly as possible."< div> This means that if you see any law firm with a minimum number of reviews, it's inadvisable to take that as a negativ...


Hawkridge & Company Review: class="infoquote "you will be able to talk through your options with a knowledgeable, friendly solicitor at a time to suit you"< div>. That's because whilst people are quite happy to jump online and rave about their new toaster, they aren't so quick to discuss their...


Hill House Chambers Review: Hill House Chambers have been recommended across our network for some time now so, as we do with many firms, we'd like to give a few insights into things that stood out to us about a firm, how that compares across the industry, and things you can do when searching for the ...


HooperHyde Review: They are not related companies. There are national, county, city, and even case specific societies which legal professionals can join. But others may state something like 'over ten years of experience within the firm' - which could mean five staff members with just two year...


Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: There are many other overly used marketing terms such as "friendly", "traditional", and everything being of "paramount" importance. For all we know, that could mean they know what email is. That way when you see statements about a firm having decades of experience - you can ...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd Review: This is often referred to as a 'conditional fee' arrangement and will typically be around 25% of your settlement. Doing that should always help create a better representative for you in litigative matters. So if you see a law firm with barely a handful, or even zero, re...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd Review: where the majority are all like this and very positive . Only just a couple of decades ago most people would expect to contact a high street solicitor for any legal issue and that those solicitors within the firm would have a wide range of expertise. Like most people though...


Lefevres Law Review: At 1to1Legal we try to get a varied selection of options for people to choose from. The second means there are no costs to you at all throughout the entire case, win or lose. Scammers typically target law firm clients that are intending to send large sums of money such as ...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor Review: That means not just the regular high street solicitor but also barristers for direct access, accountants where a solicitor might not be needed for a tax matter, or paralegals for cheaper will processing. Sadly we've seen many other firms focus more on the social side of th...


Mckie Legal Review: Hence the popular no win, no fee slogan across all their websites. 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 information or reviews on the trading name - you can often...


Michael Leighton Jones Review: When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people are far less likely to share their feelings about their messy divorce than they are about the restaurant they just ate at. A 200 year old firm could still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. What can ...


Milners Solicitors Review: So how do the independent forums look? class="infoquote "Professional, supportive and very responsive" "have the kind of tenacity you want from a law firm" "offered thorough, honest advice and was so efficient and friendly" "Emails are responded to ver...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: But if it's 10x staff members with an average of only 5 years' experience - we think that's quite a different story to what is being implied. We've also seen some sites refer to the firm as MJV & Co Solicitors. class="infoquote "efficient, professional, helpful & info...


My Law Matters Review: It can therefore be a good idea not to type important web addresses into the browser bar incase you make a mistake and succumb to a https: www.gov.uk report-suspicious-emails-websites-phishing" phishing< a> site too. Most of you wanted to see independent review boards ...


OneLaw Chambers Review: OneLaw certainly has at least one other independent body backing up their claims as well, being https: www.legal500.com firms 232573-onelaw-chambers 232407-london-england " listed in the Legal 500< a>. Personally, we think people leaving negative reviews for ...


Pacific Law Review: Don't just rely on star ratings. 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. class="infoquote "Pacific...


Rose Fendlen Law Review: Employment Law ... None of the variants we tried such as www.rflaw.co.uk or www.lroselaw.com seemed to be owned by the firm. We've worked with law firms for over 20 years and the things we look for on a law firm's website when deciding whether to include them on our ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors Review: It's very common. Normally you will be asked to sign an insurance document to cover the costs of your case. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on the personal service that we provide to our clients in meeting their needs."< div> Unfortunately there weren't many ...


Simper Law Ltd Review: Luckily this firm is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which has the best user-side offering we've seen amongst such organisations. Personal Injury, Neighbour Disputes, Medical Negligence, etc.) just different types of cases that can be brought within that...


Smith and Graham Solicitors Review: The number of large multi-office firms only seems to increase due to some smaller businesses merging to survive the difficult years we've had. A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'. So always read comments too. However make sure you enter the full na...

Brown and Co Solicitors Review: 'brown and co solicitors london' . It's clear someone didn't do that because one of the law firm's reviews states 5 stars and: class="infoquote "really upped it's game on the food recently"< div> The geniune reviews on the firm's legal services seem very positiv...


Springle & Co Solicitors Review: 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="infoquote "Our friendly team of experts are here to guide you through the legal processes, whet...


Stowe Family Law Review: So the name is still quite unique. for 'stowe solicitors'. All other variants we checked such as www.stowe.co.uk were for totally different services too so we can't think of any real pressing security issues, but always be vigilant online. At the time of writing the f...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors Review: A risk https: www.knutsfordguardian.co.uk news 20001196.man-set-false-domain-name-take-32k-solicitors-firm " highlighted in many news articles< a> about scams such as https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Phishing" phishing< a>. . Summerfield Browne are therefore a prime matc...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: Testimonials always look different from third party review site comments because they are typically a page of positive-only messages from people the firm have hand chosen. There are unhelpful positive reviews too, such as: class="infoquote "Easy to find, parking near b...


Taylor Price Solicitors Review: that handles nothing by those case types in the hope this gives them the best chance (i.e. Taylor Price has a group of lawyers who joined the profession in every one of the last four decades. You may think it's standard for all solicitors to provide free initial chats. The m...


Thaxted Legal Ltd Review: With them only handling immigration matters it's also safe to assume they will be more up to date than a solicitor trying to handle a dozen different case types at once. We've seen law firms with great ratings for their new restaurant menu and negative comments about their p...


Stephanie Heijdra Review: Barristers are setup quite differently to regular law offices in that there typically aren't official physical law offices to go back and forth to. Barristers may be part of a 'chambers' or simply be working on their own. As they do not work as a team that doesn't real...


The Legal Practice Ltd Review: We therefore highly recommend that you bookmark the correct site if you plan on coming back. In our opinion the only 'years' number that matters is the number of years' experience the actual solicitor running your case has. But let's be honest. That's because the leg...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd Review: 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 solicitors working within these law offices - it can push forward the idea that such a ...


ULA Solicitors Ltd Review: But the fact they still work with Legal Aid at all these days is something very unique. But what do the third party sites say customer feedback is like for this firm? class="infoquote "was very helpful and he did not allow the officer to ask me anything which could m...


WH Solicitors Review: Immigration is constantly changing, increasingly complicated, time limited, and not something you get quick second chances at. you'll usually be able to pick up enough bits and pieces. Just remember to read all comments and not rely on average star ratings. It's one of those...

Two Harcourt Buildings Review: But of course they will all say that. Especially if there isn't much extra independent information to base a decision on instead. . As you can see, each is still specifically about one particular barrister. If you check out pages on some barristers at Two Harcourt Buildings...


Woodstock Legal Services Review: It stands to reason though. class="infoquote "we pride ourselves on providing quality practical legal advice and a bespoke personalised service for our clients"< div> The normal first port of call for most people though is the public review boards such as https...


Youngs Solicitors Review: So any firm that still works with Legal Aid gets a few extra brownie points from us . 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. Each branding has it's own local office and website too....
