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: Just that we often wrap that information up in too many surrounding words. class="infoquote "We make sure our clients get the right support systems in place and our specialist solicitors ensure you get the right help and advice to claim compensation from those respons...


5 Essex Court Review: Unfortunately Google can be quite slow in responding to scammers. https: www.legal500.com firms 9330-chambers-of-jason-beer-qc 9330-london-england " The Legal 500< a> page about them also uses similar wording in it's praise: class="infoquote "An excellent set with a...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: In law industry terms, that might sound quite young with so many companies boasting ancient foundings such as 'established in 1881'. We also provide a fixed fee quotation, to help plan your finances from an early stage."< div> It's absolutely true that both of these a...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: We always like to have a range of specialists on our network for you to choose from. We also saw the site www.ainakhan.com mentioned on other websites and in the search results. Accident Claims Scotland or Serious Law. class="infoquote "She [Aina] has for many yea...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: One last hopefully self-explanatory snippet from AD's website: class="infoquote "We are members of the Law Society, the Conveyancing Quality Scheme and Solicitors for the Elderly."< div>. Over the past few years there has been quite an upsurge of https: www.theguardi...


Apprise Legal Services Review: On those we still found very positive comments: class="infoquote "Excellent fast and efficient service" "... Now, it's practically 'common'. We assume the web address is meant to be taken as AppriseLS. class="infoquote "The firm has many years of experienc...


APS Legal & Associates Review: class="infoquote "APS Legal and Associates are one of the UK’s largest and most reputable will writing and estate planning companies."< div> Most websites make claims like this using terms such as "estimated", "possibly", "one of the", "up to" and so on. So how a...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: You may also see other names such as Avery Walters Ellis Solicitors and Avery & Walters Ltd mentioned when looking around for information. every member of the Avery Walters team is a specialist in their chosen field and has either worked for National Law firms or has been in...


AWH Solicitors Review: So how are AWH being rated across the independent third party review boards? class="infoquote "all procedures were explained with patience and understanding at a sensitive time" "very professional and always responded to my queries and kept me updated" "my so...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves in offering a friendly, professional and approachable service."< div> Having the experience is certainly a huge plus , but does that translate into good customer service for this firm? Like many companies in the legal industry...


DFA Law LLP Review: In this review we'll try and point out the most useful we've found. Which sounds great, but in reality the person assigned to you has only 3 years' experience themselves. Right up to Michael Nadin (qualified in 2010) and Christopher De Luca (qualified 2019). I received excel...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: It's a sad but true statement, and naturally results in many people pleading guilty just to save time and money. This is often a one-day event listening to a lecturer. However this option is usually only made available if you respond quickly. The number of possible of...


DV Solicitors Review: But there are no 200 year old solicitors imparting wisdom. The Law Society of England & Wales is a simply excellent resources for background research . However both www.deovolente.com and www.deovolente.co.uk are owned by other firms. You may get a one year qualified solici...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: We've seen quite a few lawyers offering a full hour's face to face consultation to discuss your case for free. It was still very positive : class="infoquote "excellent on the day ... Whilst ELS do display a few testimonials on their website e.g: class="info...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: So what are people saying about the actual service on public boards? class="infoquote "not just another legal practice" "both courteous and efficient" "outcome has been highly successful every time" "have always provided excellent advice and service"< ...


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. It's a common misconception that general practice firms are always less able to handle a cer...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Glover&Priest with the ampersand in the middle is not possible as a web address but www.gloverandpriest.com is. These should consist of at least the professional's name, expertise and experience. For more details on the plague of conveyancing scams, just search for "lost my ...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: Unfortunately the only way to really know if a firm lives up to that promise is at the end of the case. So for security's sake it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it . We tried a few on Google and the majority of the time the correct firm s...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: One of our staff worked in immigration (Liverpool) for about a year and confirms it can be a very emotionally strenous environment, and that's just for the workers. class="infoquote "We act on our client's instructions, always putting our clients first and ensure that...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: For example, R James Hutcheon Solicitors' opening hours are 9.30am-7pm Mon-Fri . We would therefore recommend bookmarking the site if you plan on returning to it just in case. Our services are often innovative and intuitive to meet the demands and needs of today's more so...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: You can https: www.lawsoc-ni.org ian-mallon-solicitors-ltd510" view their page on the NI organisation's website here< a> but we've found that the English Welsh organisation's website usually provides far more useful information for consumers. We're sure the firm's extra s...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: Whilst phrases such as "totally recommend", "great firm", and "exceeded expectations" are all things solicitors want to hear about themselves - none of them help a potential client understand why. This typically results in no-one bothering to read through them. The first is ...


Khan Law Review: But the same themes of praise are echoed across the independent forums as well such as Trustpilot,

Kudos Legal Ltd Review: 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 both Scotland and England Wales Northern Ireland . A 1-year-old law firm could have a 40-year...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: If a property sale delays or crashes because of the third party buyer seller - the solicitor gets blamed. So one day a mistype domain such as www.lawcom.com could be picked up for a few pounds by such a scammer and used to trick people into handing over bank details.

Levins Solicitors Review: So Levins' founding date of 1986 (whilst sounding relatively young for a legal practice) absolutely does not mean they have 100 years less experience than the next firm who claim a start date back in 1886. A last word from the firm's website referring to the pros of using ...


Lindsays Solicitors Review: (No, really.) So never just flick through star ratings, always read comments to get a more rounded view of the pros and cons previous clients have discussed online. Hopefully we've given you a few new resources to use with these articles and provided a few bits of i...

Aspire Licensing Review: But this shouldn't pose a huge amount of risk anyway due to the area of law they deal in. The full firm's title is Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services with the official web address of www.aspirelicensing.co.uk, currently www.aspirelicensing.com is not in use. Th...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: But it's certainly up there on the list. They provide full pages on the firms and all the staff. Many people can also get it entirely wrong. I really loved working with people there, they are truly professionals." "transparent in regards to how much time it would take ...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: But on the whole, firms that are comfortable displaying their team's experience, expertise and direct contact details are not just creating a more open and friendly dynamic with potential clients - but also confirming the capabilities of the firm as a whole. What should have...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: The main difference of the UK compensation process vs the US is that being injured in the UK is not a lottery-win. If you ever want to look up the specialties or qualification dates of the solicitor you are thinking of using, there is usually that information on the firm's l...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: It may surprise you therefore to see us recommending and writing about McEwan Fraser Legal who, on the face of it, appear to be a regular high-street-styled property firm. This is because a huge number of people have a bad experience selling buying a property in...


MGBe Legal Review: class="infoquote "Our lawyers provide clear, simple solutions tailored to your needs."< div> Most law firms will have such statements on their website. Law Society accrediations are not simply stamps given out for show either. Someone who knows the 'tricks' of th...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: Therefore if you flick through the comments section of a third party review forum , it's probably a good idea to ignore any negative rating that relates to having been annoyingly cold-called by someone stating they were from MTA. If you're still struggling to decide between...


NV Legal Ltd Review: If you check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 555160 nv-legal-limited" the page for this firm< a> you'll see their two main solicitors, Nicholas Davis and Victoria Davis, qualified as solicitors in 2000 and 1999 respectively. It absolutely is possible for ...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: 100% compensation promises mean that if you win, the law firm will not take a cut of your compensation. Oana is a mature, experienced solicitor, holding law degrees in both Romania and Scotland, with over ten years of practice."< div>. Unfortunately, in our opinion T...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: So stars don't always reflect real position in the minds of previous clients. OTS Solicitors is one such firm. Many firms may quote ancient establishment dates stating their firm has been around for over 200 years, only for people to discover no-one at the firm has been a s...


Penerley Lawyers Review: class="infoquote "our innovative and less-stuffy approach to providing legal services ensure that the focus is always on results"< div> It's sad but true that many of the 'well-established' law firms that go around quoting they've been solicitors for over 200 yea...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: You never know what's around the corner though and with the various alternative domains possible (e.g. Not all barristers are able to take instructions from members of the public. Meaning customer engagement and feedback monitoring are clearly a priority . class="info...


Pump Court Chambers Review: It's not that they are a small firm either. Ever since the new Direct Access scheme was introduced into the UK, we've been big fans of the move. That should make communication far easier , clearer, and provide a more personalised experience throughout the case. Prior to t...


RD Costings Review: 100% compensation guaranteed means there are no fees if your case wins. This will not exceed 25%."< div> This may look like a simple statement about fees. For others you may be better off with a Direct Access barrister to save some time and money. This is a costs drafti...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: 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. VERY fast turnaround ..." "I had a long standing debt that I could not get paid. Some are ...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: So by showing reviews from a third party site and linking to that site so people can check the comments are by real people (e.g. The Law Society of England & Wales also have a much better website than most Law Societies, with a wealth of user-side information. Northern Ire...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: One good way to check up on a law firm or an individual solicitor's expertise and experience is through the local law society. class="infoquote "Contact us on 0161 637 7177 or 07956 113019 for emergencies"< div> Another sentence that might stand out to us mo...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: When it comes to individuals rather than large 100+ staffed firms handling your case, we absolutely think the solicitor barrister should stick to a more niche area of law. class="infoquote "Most of Robin’s clients instruct him under the direct access or public access ...


The Search Bureau Review: Also most of the fraud involved in conveyancing transactions tend to focus on actual buyer seller clients of the actual law firms. SDLT.co.uk help stop stamp tax form rejections by pre-populating the forms and providing a printed SDLT5 certificate - they've handled over 3.6 ...


Serious Law LLP Review: It may therefore be a good idea to bookmark the site if you're looking to return just to be sure. 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 che...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: class="infoquote "Our fees are reasonable and competitive ... This is important because some firms will use less-than-transparent (to put it mildly) wording to describe their experience when trying to sell you their services on their website. So what about the public b...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: Unfortunately when no feedback is left it's hard to know if that person was even rating the correct firm. We have niche practices, specialist consultants, barristers, and even non-law-firm related solutions to some problems such as debt or will writing. We did see a co...


Taborns Legal Business Review: That typically means a much smaller number of organisations to verify everything with and or zero reviews across independent boards. We have several firms on the network that are brand new startups, consultants, or sole practitioners. The official site we link to above is ww...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: This is quite justifiable in some circumstances such as for difficult cases including medical negligence, uninsured drivers, criminal injury claims and so on. No win, no fee and 100% compensation are two very different promises. There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind ...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: when there is only one actual qualified solicitor at that firm to handle them all. Thorpe Wilson don't have any testimonials listed on their website. So how can you tell which might be more likely to deliver on those promises? One good resource is your area's Law Society w...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: For many case types people absolutely want a niche firm such as for Motor Offences, Immigration or Debt Recovery. So why might you pick a niche firm like Trust Inheritance Ltd over your local high street firm that covers estate matters as well? If you want to get more...

Bilkus & Boyle Review: The Law Society of Scotland on the other hand is not nearly so forthcoming with such details. We always advise reading actual comments rather than just flicking through ratings though. The majority of large conveyancing specialists have ratings as low as 2 or 3 stars....


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: For example, the last firm we reviewed had a lot of negative comments about how clients were constantly passed over to secretaries and junior staff rather than the solicitor that was meant to be in charge of the case. Many legal professionals are signed up with a local Law S...
