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:

33Legal Ltd Review: (Especially with one Southern England firm that claimed a 150 year heritage because they moved into the building an old law firm originally owned. Sadly the focus is often money, money, money and it's all too common for marketing companies to push that ideal when trying to t...


5 Essex Court Review: Unfortunately Google can be quite slow in responding to scammers. There are many firms around the UK that have both solicitors and barristers or dually qualified staff on board. We would therefore recommend bookmarking the correct site once you're on it just in case. ...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: providing some extra time for people to call with questions. However we have seen several property firms with much more available opening hours than Aconveyancing, extending into evenings and weekends. None of that seemed to apply to Aconveyancing's reviews. cla...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: But it could also mean five solicitors with just 4 years experience each. 25+ years’ expertise. Member of Law Society’s Advanced Family Panel."< div> A quick note on navigation. On this occasion though, we're going to break with tradition because the comments are not ...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: A lot of this sales jargon means nothing. Us included. Flick through enough solicitors' sites and you'll start to think talking about fees is almost taboo. Over the past few years there has been quite an upsurge of https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 jul 18 homebuyer-los...


Apprise Legal Services Review: This seems to be be completely different company though. In the US it has been used for much longer. Don't just look at an average rating and judge by that. We would therefore recommend bookmarking the correct site once you're on it just to make sure. We also noticed ...


APS Legal & Associates Review: So how as a front end website browsing consumer can you tell which claims are potentially true? If the will writing service you're looking at is run by or at least backed by a law firm, then they will absolutely state this. This is both more helpful in pinpointing wh...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: Another thing to watch for is how you appraise public reviews. You may also see other names such as Avery Walters Ellis Solicitors and Avery & Walters Ltd mentioned when looking around for information. Some people just skip through the general ratings without really loo...


AWH Solicitors Review: Apparently a local council leader and an MP attended the grand opening of the new merged office. When researching this firm yourself around the web, you may see names such as Carter Law, Roebucks Solicitors, and Roberts Jackson Solicitors. There is a whole host of accre...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: Catteralls are signed up with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have a fantastic website full of consumer information on firms. Potential clients tend to rely more on the independent public offerings such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yell, Ye...


DFA Law LLP Review: For example, this from the DFA Law website: class="infoquote "DFA Law has been advising clients in Northamptonshire, and across the region, for over 180 years."< div> We've mentioned in previous articles that long establishment dates are not the be-all and end-...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: However, they state a success rate of 87% and I'm sure you've seen several firms stating successes in the 90-100% range. This is often a one-day event listening to a lecturer. The more you know the easier it will be to understand your options and choose the right person t...


DV Solicitors Review: The Law Society of England & Wales is a simply excellent resources for background research . If you've used our site before or read through any of our articles, you may have noticed that we're not a regular directory just cramming in every high street firm. The official web...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: It's just that people are much more likely to jump online to rant or rave about their new toaster than they are about such personal matters. However there are some areas of law where the number of options simply aren't there. The official website we link to above is www...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: You'll see Fieldfisher have lawyers from each of the past four decades including Ian Austin (qualified in 1986), Bridget Collier (1997), Mark Greenhalgh (2008, and Jonathon Bell (2017). class="infoquote "At Fieldfisher we cater for clients with complex, difficult and ...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: But basic matters such as "What Happens If You're Caught Speeding?", "What are the likely penalties for an SP30 offence?", and "How long do points stay on your licence?" are covered. For example, 5 solicitors x 4 years experience each = 20 years' experience. That's very diff...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: We've seen negative reviews for when the buyer seller pulls out, for incorrect local searches, for third party delays - all of which the client believed their solicitor should have been able to sort. So seeing direct contact details for solicitors on the Glover Priest...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: So for security's sake it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it . From Ian Troop and Carlos Lopez (both qualified in 2000), to Paul Hampson (2005) and Gary Doward (2019) it's a good sign of tempered experience mixed with fresh faces hungry to...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: It can be quite difficult to dig out the pertinent details in order to make what feels like an informed decision. They have over 100 staff, cover a wide range of legal matters, and a long history. But you never know what their going to do next. Gushingly so on occasions, ...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: So what do we like and dislike about R James Hutcheon Solicitors. Last year we ran a poll and it turned out that only 21% of people actually trusted testimonials on company websites. '100% compensation' means that win or lose you have absolutely nothing to pay your solicit...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: That's great, and more firms should follow their setup . this one about https: www.ianmallon.com 2016 09 06 mesothelioma-settlement " a mesothelioma settlement< a>. We're sure the firm's extra step of translating the site to cater for that has not gone unappreciated. ...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: If you've been searching for a firm for a while now, you may have noticed the number of practically mirror-image websites all stating how that firm is 'modern yet traditional', 'friendly yet professional', 'thorough yet swift', etc. She was completely professional and sensit...


Khan Law Review: It may have nothing to do with the practice of law. That's because we've seen law firms with five star reviews for their dog-friendly restaurant and others being criticised for simply being a law firm. For all we know their award could be for best logo design or for having t...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: Some sections kept flicking into broken coding when viewing the site on our phones tablets. Kudos Legal is the type of firm we've recently trying to get on to the network though as they are essentially an 'international' law firm - being able to represent clients in b...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: However they do cover a wide range of matters for both individuals and businesses . At the moment, them having quite a unique name means that if you make an error such as www.lawcomm.com nothing with show up so you'll know you'll have made a mistake. Another stated how they...


Levins Solicitors Review: The experience of the staff is the most important thing and we'll cover that later. We're sad to say that even our own local law society (The Law Society of Scotland) does not come close in matching the England Wales site for usability and information. A last word from the f...


Lindsays Solicitors Review: That last sentence was obviously written with a very cynical tone. By that we mean there are many websites out there set up to look as though they are a legitimate personal injury or conveyancing firm - when in reality they are a front for case resellers. class="infoqu...

Aspire Licensing Review: a close relationship with all our local responsible authorities ensures any issues or representations received towards our applications can often be resolved through mediation and working in partnership with said responsible authorities."< div> Usually we point people ...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: Linkilaw is one of them and Linkilaw Solicitors is their newest version. They obtain the relevant phone email contact details then contact the buyer seller pretending to be from the solicitors office and tell them new bank details to pay any deposits into. A final word from ...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: For example, www.london-law.com isn't owned by AJLO and the two non-hyphenated versions of www.londonlaw.co.uk and www.londonlaw.com are owned by different firms as well. We know several excellent firms that have 2 or 3 overall star ratings on some forums yet 5 star everywhe...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: The reason we point out common errors is because of how easy it is for people to think they are on the correct site or being emailed from an official address when they are not. It's a difficult area of work , often futile, and not a massively well paying job to take o...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: For all you know, the awards this firm have won are 'best logo design' or 'nice employer'. This includes Best Estate Agent Edinburgh and Scotland (AllAgents 2020) and Best Estate Agency in Scotland (Sunday Times), class="infoquote "We specialise in the sale of both res...


MGBe Legal Review: This is reflected on the firm's website where the blog section contains actual help articles. After us praising The Law Society of England & Wales for having such a great site, we have noticed that they currently link to an outdated web address of www.gabriellabettigagroup...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: Most lawyers in the UK are registered with a Law Society. class="infoquote "At MTA Solicitors, customer service is at the very heart of our business. You may see the names MTA Solicitors LLP and MTA Personal injury Solicitors LLP when looking up this firm. H...


NV Legal Ltd Review: But you never know what's going to happen next so always be aware of where your communications are coming from and that no law firm should ask you to submit bank details via email.. The information they provide just regular users is quite extensive in comparison including al...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: We've experienced this personally when someone decided to have a rant about 'capitalist law firms!' on our review section. It is certainly not the case that the standard high street law firm is the best option in every scenario. The more high quality firms will always take...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: class="infoquote "our team of solicitors are described as 'professional' and 'extremely knowledgeable'"< div> In every area of the UK there are various Law Societies which legal professionals can sign up to. Most people know how to spot fake reviews, but the main...


Penerley Lawyers Review: By that we mean some don't even have a single solicitor on staff. This is because some people's complaints can be ridiculously petty, and some can be attached to the totally wrong firm. Only five years ago one lawyer said to us 'that internet? no we don't do that' when we ...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: One thing that made us feel a certain kinship with this particular law firm was their T&Cs section. It doesn't have as much information regarding the firm and obviously has different contact information. There's no shortage of law firms around the London area. cl...


Pump Court Chambers Review: Prior to this you would have to hire a solicitor, tell them all about your case, then they would go hire a barrister and get them to handle court side of the matter. These are not just other offices of the same group of barristers. But be aware that if you search for 'pump c...


RD Costings Review: A whiplash claim against an insurer where the third party has already admitted fault is pretty much a slam dunk. On the 1to1Legal network we review and recommend a wide range of firms. However, whilst we would normally issue warnings and recommend various ways to protec...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: This focuses our staff on achieving the result our clients desire. Great communication between us and our clients ..." "Account manager kept me in the loop at all times and was very accommodating with the specific approach we wanted to take. No disrepect meant to the ma...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: That doesn't mean we are bias for the sake of it. It simply means that when we researched the firm at the time they came up as being a good firm, covering a good range, with little or no complaints registered on forums or with the relevant organisations. If you compare it t...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: Therefore whilst the case range across this particular firm isn't wholly niche - it is still limited and therefore you would expect the solicitors within the practice to have considerable knowledge in these two areas. Law societies can be national, countywide, or attached to...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: Unlike purchasing a washing machine - a huge number of people do not feel comfortable discussing publicly how their divorce, bankruptcy, or criminal defence case went. Most companies will more likely have some vague references to greatness, such as 'we are one of the leadin...


The Search Bureau Review: All other variants we tried such as www.searchbureau.com and www.thesearchbureau.com were owned by different firms. to confirm past client opinions. The correct firm tends to come up at the top of search results for the majority of phrases we tried. However, as already...


Serious Law LLP Review: class="infoquote "We are the firm of choice for many other legal professionals who recognise our depth of expertise in catastrophic cases."< div> You can always check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473855 serious-law-llp" The Law Society's< a> websi...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: But as they deal in property matters, we would absolutely recommend bookmarking the website to make sure you come back to the correct one in the future. We've also seen variants such as 'simon rodkins' and 'simon rodkin' popping up in our search box as well as 'sr law lond...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Stenfield Solicitors is a multidisciplinary law firm serving national and international clients from its offices in London and Norwich."< div> Stenfield Solicitors therefore certainly fit that description , but it can be difficult to tell the va...


Taborns Legal Business Review: Never more than a handful of law practices within the same area covering the same case types. We provide a transparent, efficient and cost-effective service for corporates, SMEs, Family Offices or individual clients requiring legal solutions."< div>. When nagivating the...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: No win, no fee just means that if you lose there will be no fees. Whilst the majority of legal https: www.thisismoney.co.uk money mortgageshome article-3385825 Sarah-Ritchie-saved-45-000-dream-home-lost-devastating-new-scam.html" scams at the moment involve property matt...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "At the centre of everything we do is a commitment to you, our client, to offer you the best possible service that we can."< div> The only way to really verify statements like this one is through comments by previous clients. when there is only on...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: For example, a firm that states they handle "Will & Probate" matters may simply help people create a Will. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 495611 trust-inheritance-limited?Solicitors=True" check out the page about< a> this firm on The Law So...

Bilkus & Boyle Review: Sadly so many firms use terms such as 'modern', 'friendly', 'established', etc. But there are plenty of good indicators you may not have noticed between the lines. The rest seem to refer to their actual services though: class="infoquote "have used the firms serv...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: We also recommend that if someone calls you to discuss money, you politely hang up and call back the official phone number you were given. Luckily though, with law firms there are sometimes independent ways to check up on such things. The number of larger firms we know that ...
