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: Both statements are true. Medical Negligence cases for example are notoriously hard to pursue due to the extensive medical work that has to be researched and the fact the NHS regularly fight such cases - pushing up the costs and timescales. That can only benefit in the lon...


5 Essex Court Review: Clearly 5 Essex Court are highly regarded by other professionals , but there are far fewer comments on the web by people who have actually used a barrister at this firm. Prior to 2004, it was necessary to instruct a firm of solicitors or third party. However with 5 Essex C...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: If we had to find a niggle with this firm, then that would be it - i.e. They also handle Remortgages, Transfer of Equity, Lease Extensions, Equity Releases and Landlord Tenant matters. class="infoquote "We help our clients to buy and sell property with ease, managing ...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: So maybe not a lot of people feel the urge to go online and share their feelings. Aina Khan states that she is also Award Winning , but then has https: www.ainakhanlaw.com aina-khan-obe-awarded-by-the-world-peace-and-prosperity-foundation " a page dedicated< a> to explai...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: However after so many years of flicking through such sites, we've noticed quite a few distinctions the less regular browser may not. However we will explain why to see if you agree. So does that make us bias enough to throw away 20+ years of impartial article writing? Well...


Apprise Legal Services Review: Whilst 'Apprise Legal' with and without the 'Services' on the end will still bring up the correct firm in the top organic results of search engines - we saw a lot of ads surrounding it. However if you own a business, have an ex-wife, children, life insurance, etc. Thirty yea...


APS Legal & Associates Review: No hard-sell, very professional."< div> However, each of these testimonials is often not tagged regarding which advisor they are talking about. If you don't want to scroll through the whole sales pitch, then just scroll down to the bottom of any page. It is follow...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: However the same maths process is often abused by newer, less-scrupulous firms. So how can you tell the jargon from the actual promises and the quality firms from the bad? Well, there are actually more tools available than you might think. You can click on each person's na...


AWH Solicitors Review: www.roebuckslaw.co.uk or www.carterlaw.co.uk), we would definitely recommend bookmarking the firm's website once you're on it just in case. But you'll never a find a firm that has everything. There's a good mix of experience and fresh blood amongst this firm's staff though...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: Thousands of people have lost millions of pounds to these fraudsters. Whilst getting on with your solicitor and feeling like they genuinely care about you will often be the ultimate final deal breaker, there is a lot of research you can perform to narrow down the...


DFA Law LLP Review: There are a few little touches around their site too that indicate a firm with a vested interest in their public perception. The official site we link to above is www.dfalaw.co.uk which is https secure for you to safely submit your personal details on the web form. But what ...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: The ones above are taken from the independent review sites. However, if it's something more serious and your whole life could change without the ability to drive yourself around - then the cost is less of a factor. Certainly, the cost of the fine and the increase in your in...


DV Solicitors Review: We didn't just add them because of some positive reviews and the fact they handle cases in Pakistan. Never discuss payments or bank details over email. Far better than most others we've used. Most interesting to us though are the qualifying dates of the legal professional...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: class="infoquote "We offer a free thirty minutes remote virtual consultation"< div> A nice respectable middle offering that will hopefully let you get some information about what help is available, your chances, the costs, and for you to get a good enough feel fo...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: A very encouraging mix of experience alongside new blood eager to prove themselves. Establishment is something different in the minds of various people. It may therefore come as a surprise that we have added Fieldfisher Llp to that list considering they seem like...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: The https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 1320 frank-rogers-law-ltd" page for this firm< a> will provide you with several links to look information about the practice, people and cases worked on. So what are they saying about the firm? class="infoquote "honest,...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Certainly, if there is a recurring theme of incompetence in the reviews then that's something to take note of. Thankfully, GloverPriest have not done that. We've gone in depth on this issue in other articles (site search box below) however in short - Conveyance firms will a...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: (Pause to raise an eyebrow.) We didn't see any of such fishy goings-on for Hampson Hughes though. Unfortunately the only way to really know if a firm lives up to that promise is at the end of the case. Whilst a solicitor may have several cases keeping his attention, the cli...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: Other companies such as John Howe & Co Solicitors are using www.jhowe.co.uk, and The Howe Practice have www.thehowepractice.co.uk so it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it just to be sure. But certainly Howe & Co are well-known with seve...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: For example, the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 75342 ronald-james-hutcheon" target=" page for this firm lists< a> the primary solicitor Ronald James Hutcheon as having qualified back in 1993 . Our services are often innovative and intuitive to meet the demand...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: He attended the Institute of Professional Legal Studies Belfast in 2001 and was admitted as a Solicitor in Northern Ireland in 2002 and in the Republic of Ireland in 2003. The reviews were always mixed in on each site though. Ian worked for a regional law firm in Dublin from...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: it was dealt with speedily, on the same day in most cases." • "I was to the point of losing a sale on my property and within a week has put me in the best position possible ..." • "... Whilst phrases such as "totally recommend", "great firm", and "exceede...


Khan Law Review: class="infoquote "Raees was awarded the 'Rising Star in Law Award' at the prestigious Scottish Asian Business Awards"< div> As mentioned before, the number of firms claiming to be award-winning is huge. So, yes. 100% compensation means there are no fees to you w...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: A lot of staff being mentioned by name in the reviews too. A 1-year-old law firm could have a 40-year-experienced solicitor on it's staff. Not just legal services. A 40-year-old law firm could assign you to a 1-year-experienced solicitor. At 1to1Legal we do our best to pr...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: Their official website that we've linked to above is www.lawcomm.co.uk and it's an https secure site. It's not surprising with all this high praise and focus on client care that Lawcomm Solicitors were named https: www.dailyecho.co.uk business 17624927.lawcomm-based-w...


Levins Solicitors Review: Currently www.levinslaw.com is owned by someone else. I would not be here today writing this review" "reassured me and helped me understand everything from start to finish" "made the whole process really easy and straight forward"< div> The majority of review...


Lindsays Solicitors Review: To get a wider view that includes negative opinions. After reading through the comments we saw three one star messages all regarding the same thing - with comments such as "Don't sell 20 stanley Road!" Apparently some of the local people wanted this particular property t...

Aspire Licensing Review: But this shouldn't pose a huge amount of risk anyway due to the area of law they deal in. Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. But that's what you'd expect from a firm that deals day in day out with a single area...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 631933 linkilaw-solicitors-limited" the section for this firm< a> you'll see contact information, qualification dates of the relevant solicitors, details of their specialties, and more. You never know where ...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: Some such as www.alexanderjlo.co.uk and www.alexanderjlo.com will actually redirect you to the main site. It currently lists over 50,000 firms, so being included is not particularly rare either. The fact any firm has taken the time to apply for membership and gone through th...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: Some people are handing over entire house deposits to fraudsters based solely on an email asking them to change the bank details they pay to. For example they still linked to the now very defunct Google+ platform and many of the links we clicked on both our desktop and phone...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: But you'd be wrong. We could send you an email today that looks as though it was sent from an official @mcewanfraserlegal.co.uk email address with just the basic email software we have here. If anyone emails or phones you about payments or bank details - do not respond. For ...


MGBe Legal Review: 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.com which no longer takes you to a site about this firm. So it may be an idea to bookmark th...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: Usually around 25%. Also, they may be registered with a far more local niche Law Society rather than one of the larger organisations. If you've read any other review articles on our site already, you'll know there's usually a pretty good reason for us to select a firm and ...


NV Legal Ltd Review: They're mostly https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" aimed at property matters< a>. Also, there aren't many scams targeting personal injury claimants at the moment. There are quite a few ind...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: In any given area we may only recommend 3-4 local law firms for your case type. We would therefore recommend bookmarking the correct site once you're on it just in case. A one-year-old firm might have twenty-year-experienced solicitors on staff and a twenty-year-old ...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: For some reason we can't quite fathom, the buyers sellers don't question this and simply hand all their house deposits over to the fraudsters. Either way, still be on your guard when typing in web address and never discuss bank details via email. This sort of coverage c...


Penerley Lawyers Review: For some reason, thousands of people have easily fallen for this. Even helping you register as a limited company is not the sole discretion of lawyers. More recently though the number of people starting up their own small business or being self-employed has risen dramatica...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Penn Chambers Solicitors offer comprehensive legal advice and representation at court."< div> Another huge potential benefit of using this firm over some others is this ability to do both. Also, in some of the searches we tested, the website of t...


Pump Court Chambers Review: The members of a Chambers share the rent and facilities, such as the service of clerks ... They want clients 2 miles, 20, or even 200 miles away. It does however cause some thought to have to be given when researching things such as online reviews. Statements like the o...


RD Costings Review: The majority of possible variants we mentioned (e.g. There may still be fees if your case wins. This is a costs drafting firm aimed at lawyers themselves. www.rdcosting.co.uk) also were not currently in use at the time of writing. This is not true for all firms or all type...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: a win for the actual client . class="infoquote "Unlike most debt collection agencies we retain a panel of highly-regarded solicitors and insolvency practitioners."< div> This is quite true and something to watch out for when seeking a debt company to help you. I w...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: But Reid Black state they will give you a free interview for 'any legal issue' which is a lot less common than you might think. But even that still had a 5 star rating and ended with a bit about how the extra expense seemed worth it in the end. This is a great move becau...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: It's also become more of a pain to organise. The firm's website is https secure for entering your personal details in their contact forms. At the time of writing there were actually no reviews available on the regular sites such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell, Yelp, etc....


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: We checked with Google, Yelp, Yell.com and Trustpilot as well as some other sites like ours that recommend or list barrister information. Whether a general commercial law issue, shareholder dispute, insolvency, employment disagreement, or a regulatory disciplinary matter. ...


The Search Bureau Review: They offer tools to Conveyancing firms around England & Wales allowing their clients to consolidate a wide range of work into one setup. Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. The official site which we link to above is www.searchbureau.co.uk ...


Serious Law LLP Review: What's the difference between a 'serious' injury and a regular one? Two weeks of whiplash after a car accident can be handled by almost any firm because the amounts you can claim are practically set in stone. The one prior was about a firm that seemed to have avoided the lim...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: There are some things to read between the lines that are also very telling. However we've been writing articles on law firms for over 20+ years now. Naturally, the ones listed there are all incredibly positive and lengthy in their praise. We will consider fixed fees ...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Our key objective is to provide solid, reliable and cost effective legal advice delivered in an efficient and friendly manner."< div> Every firm makes a claim like this quote from the firm's website. class="infoquote "very impressed with th...


Taborns Legal Business Review: These are therefore some snippets from the company's own testimonials section on their website: class="infoquote "Will is extremely well connected and his knowledge of the legal market is very impressive." "We were looking for high quality legal professionals, ...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: The branding is not nearly as important as the actual solicitor assigned to your case. No win, no fee and 100% compensation are two very different promises. (Generally known as 'resellers'.) Those firms that cold-call you asking about an accident you've never had also have w...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: stating to be a 'specialist' for such a long list of case types. So context is key. So what can we tell you about Thorpe Wilson Solicitors? Well you may have noticed that like many other firms, Thorpe Wilson make statements such as: class="infoquote "Specialist...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: The most common reason is the expectation of more expertise, more experience, and therefore a knock on effect of less time and cost required. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on giving the best support service available and are dedicated to delivering the right s...

Bilkus & Boyle Review: So where else can you search? class="infoquote "... Or the review stating how all lawyers are crooked that had been copy pasted across a dozen law firms in Birmingham. Another line on their site that probably sticks out to us more than to regular consumers would be: ...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: You never know what these scammers are going to think of next though so just make sure to pay attention to the email addresses you send receive from and never discuss banking details over email. Luckily though, with law firms there are sometimes independent ways to check up ...
