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: class="infoquote "One of the major benefits of choosing 33 Legal is that we are a champion of victims' rights. Lately we've been accused of writing reviews that are too long-winded. The one we link to above is www.33legal.uk but if you use a search engine to find the ...


5 Essex Court Review: With barristers you'll also find they tend to specialise much more niche-ly than solicitors. In closing we'll leave you with the firm's own description of it's offering: class="infoquote "A top-tier civil law set of chambers recognised for our exemplary clie...


ABS Lawyers Ltd Review: That means we try to provide a range of various solutions AND firms that can provide them. Whilst this can fall into the same trap of the branding not always reflecting the experience of the actual lawyer assigned to your case - it is far more geniune a way to describe t...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: So what can you use to judge the experience and merits of the hundreds of conveyancing firms available? class="infoquote "We are a specialist conveyancing firm and pride ourselves on offering you a highly professional, personal and efficient service at a competitive ...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: In other words, it lists real accomplishments rather than vague hints at greatness whilst never crossing the line into obnoxious boasting. If you click the name of a staff member you will be shown further information about them. Member of Law Society’s Advanced Family Panel....


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: We are pleased that most of our work comes from repeat clients which hopefully means we are doing something right."< div> These days people are very suspicious of testimonials on any company website. We would assume it means the firm actively takes feedback seriously a...


Apprise Legal Services Review: So just take care clicking. Something you're much less likely to get from a typical high street law firm that just states 'Wills' under a huge list of other case types they handle. Rather than being a general practice firm that happens to do Will Probate matters as well - A...


APS Legal & Associates Review: Typically they will state "ABC Wills is run by ABC Solicitors Ltd and regulated by the SRA No.000001" or something similar. For example, the APS Legal & Associates main website does have the usual testimonials page. Either they are unbelievably niche in their target market, ...


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. Whilst we often discuss the pros and cons of using specialists, we usually are talking...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: For example, Amanda Cuthbert qualified in 1993, David Cartwright in 2001, right up to Laura Stafford in 2017. firms posting 5 star reviews about themselves and companies posting 1 star reviews of their competitors. Obviously there are going to be common mistakes such as 'ava...


AWH Solicitors Review: Apparently a local council leader and an MP attended the grand opening of the new merged office. Or you could end up speaking to a junior in-experienced staff member for the 'free' 30-60 consultation on offer. class="infoquote "We provide a free 15 minute initial cons...


Bilkus & Boyle Review: Or the review stating how all lawyers are crooked that had been copy pasted across a dozen law firms in Birmingham. As a Scottish business ourselves, we hope our national Law Society can catch up and provide a bit more in the future . The forty years Bilkus Boyle quo...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: That's great. That's surely a very good sign. You'll note that they have solicitors that have qualified in every decade from the past 40 years including Philip Lisle who qualified in 1981, Julie Burgess (1996), Rebecca Baker (2005), right up to Danielle Knee with the rel...


DFA Law LLP Review: Always a good sign. Property clients are heavily targeted by scammers due to the amounts of money being pushed around and https: www.lawyerchecker.co.uk news law-firm-loses-600k-in-conveyancing-scam " many clients and law firms have fallen victim to such scams< a> in rec...


DV Solicitors Review: 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. So it's an unusual but good sign. class="infoquote "Deo Volente have been providing personalised, pragm...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: Therefore the number of firms helping in those areas are much fewer . So when you see that the law firm you're interested in does not have many reviews on the usual forums such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell or Yelp - don't read negatively into that . and in phone contact thr...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: 100% compensation guaranteed means there will be no fees if you WIN either. If you've used our site before to find legal help in your area, or if you've simply read through a few of our review articles - you'll have noticed that we tend to recommend and discuss firms that ar...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: Whilst large firms may state a huge range of legal matters covered, they may well have individual specialists within the firm assigned to each area of law. That's unusual for a law firm though, as many people tend to shy away from relating their personal legal struggles (and...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: But still, it's an indication of a firm that puts communication and keeping people in the loop as a priority . A note on navigation as we're dealing with property matters. We also read in the reviews about how Glover Priest have an online tracking system for clients s...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: One of the founders of our own 1to1Legal Firm (Mike Beverley) actually started off as an accident investigator in Liverpool for a nationwide firm of solicitors. For example, if they have obtained more compensation for you than the insurance company originally offered. A...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: A wide range of very seasoned, experienced practitioners alongside plenty of young blood to keep things fresh and moving forward. 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 ...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: R James Hutcheon Solicitors go beyond niche covering a range of case types you'll rarely see sought after by other practices such as Mercedes-Benz Diesel Emissions Compensation. R James Hutcheon Solicitors don't go that far , but they do have a 'How much are you wort...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: Over the past 20+ years of working with law firms we've seen so many negative reviews for firms that were clearly unwarranted or simply about the wrong firm. There could be some common spelling errors such as 'Malon' or people looking up other variations such as ianmallonsol...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: We would hope that most people will already realise that the age of a law firm's building, brand name or even staff is really neither here nor there. When we first started reviewing law firms 20+ years ago, that was standard because solicitors basically were open the same ti...


Khan Law Review: We wouldn't class that as 'specialist'. It may therefore be a good idea to bookmark the correct site to come back to it easier later. Usually that's because they have individual solicitors within the firm that handle specific case types. That's fair enough. 100% compensat...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: But with such variables around we would recommend bookmarking the correct site once you're on it just to be sure. There are also several firms in the UK using the name 'Kudos' including Kudos Legal Services and Kudos Law Ltd which are both different organisations. We alw...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: If you needed to speak to someone in particular and they were busy you always got a call back quickly." "Tahzeem handled our property very professionally from the start to completion, she is well organised and get things done" "I recently bought a house and they m...


Levins Solicitors Review: The official website of the firm is www.levinslaw.co.uk as linked to above. lawyers from Levins Solicitors have told LBC they believe the police's actions over the weekend amount to 'oppressive conduct' and 'may be unlawful, particularly the entries and searches'."< div> ...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: A final word from Linkilaw about their services: class="infoquote "With straight forward and clear-cut advice, we help start-ups and entrepreneurs navigate law to help them succeed."< div>. Never discuss your bank details with someone that calls you up. So how does th...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: Alexander JLO Solicitors seem to be having a similar problem. are accredited by the Law Society as Family Law specialists ..." < div> Tens of thousands of solicitors and legal practices are listed in The Law Society's member directory. We're not fans of companies that f...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: It's not just a side project either with the firm stating very clearly that it specialises in just three areas - CCJ removal, employment law, and it's related settlement agreements. If you ever want to look up the specialties or qualification dates of the solicitor yo...

Lindsays Solicitors Review: Their website also isn't plastered with carefully selected testimonials, boasts about awards won, or how wonderfully charitable they are. They certainly have a page about https: www.lindsays.co.uk about-us sponsorship" things they sponsor< a> but the chosen sponsorships l...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: As the firm deals with property matters, this raises the possibility of scams which are on the rise despite the https: www.telegraph.co.uk money consumer-affairs property-sellers-warned-not-to-email-solicitors-we-lost-204000 " huge number of news articles< a> and war...


MGBe Legal Review: Not so with MGBe as https: mgbelegal.com blog " their blog section< a> articles seem genuinely intended to help with titles such as 'The 7 most common errors in EEA Permanent Residence applications' and 'For better or worse: the new Legal Aid Immigration contrac...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: It only shows the most basic contact details though and again the www.mtasolicitors.co.uk variant shows nothing. Such calls are usually from individuals with no relation to any real law firm. We can get you the answers, treatment and compensation you deserve."< div> A q...


NV Legal Ltd Review: The fact NV Legal is already doing this is a great indicator of a firm with both the mindset and resources we agree with. class="infoquote "From the onset of my claim I received updates and advice." "The level of service was excellent." "Not only did they ...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: Unfortunately, in our opinion The Law Society of Scotland website is nowhere near as good as it's English Welsh counterpart when it comes to helping people with their search for legal help. Not just for the legal industry either. So what else can you check? cla...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: Even if someone phones you, you can always hang up and call your known solicitor back on the actual number you were originally given. Not so with OTS, who have a wide range of experienced staff such as Basil Gulbenkian (qualified in 1965), Veejay Sharma (2005), Oshin Shahi...


Penerley Lawyers Review: The official site we link to above is www.penerley.co.uk and www.penerley.com redirects you there as well. Also the majority of scams facing solicitors right now https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 feb 29 bank-scam-solicitors-email-hacked" relate to conveyancing and pro...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: That may sound odd, however solicitors and barristers are actually two quite different groups. There's no shortage of law firms around the London area. At the moment it is mostly property law firms and their clients https: www.clc-uk.org watch-out-for-conveyancing-fra...


Pump Court Chambers Review: Again, though, a little thing like this impresses us because so many law firms don't bother spending the extra Ј5 to buy related domains to help protect their clients from easy fraud (which we'll cover in a second). not the very nice helpful receptionist at the start of yo...


RD Costings Review: Something we would expect a personal injury lawyer on their first day to be able to push through without a hitch. Because RD Costings specialise in criminal injury matters, they are unlikely to be targets for scammers. RDCostings don't have 'Online Compensation Calculators' ...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: No disrepect meant to the many law firms that handle debt collection, but using a firm that is solely built to handle this single case type does generally provide more speedy results. class="infoquote "Commission is only charged upon successful collections. Redwood Col...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: Millions of pounds a year https: www.irishnews.com news northernirelandnews 2018 10 08 news thousands-of-pounds-stolen-in-elaborate-scam-targetting-house-buyers-1452999 " are being handed over to scammers< a> for the most mundane of tricks such as emails seeming to come f...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: To use a description any less than 'expert' would clearly be unwise. Most people may not know just how badly the goverment has stripped Legal Aid both in reach and in funding. Of course, you should never discuss payments or bank details via email . class="infoquote "A...

Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: Obviously we sound very pro-this-company and this could come across as bias. Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. There is a whole section https: trustinheritance.toolboxx.co.uk #bereavement" offering various p...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: Whilst there may be some common typos regarding the last name, the few we tried still brought up the correct website in search results. class="infoquote "Robin Somerville helps businesses and professionals solve their legal problems."< div> So what other ways can...


The Search Bureau Review: All other variants we tried such as www.searchbureau.com and www.thesearchbureau.com were owned by different firms. The lack of easily available reviews shouldn't be viewed negatively in these cases. Have they done so? We've found that most companies that service actua...


Serious Law LLP Review: John Sherrington qualified in 1985, Timothy Walters in 1997, Jerard Knott in 2002, and right up to Rebecca Hilton in 2017. Even if it's just to complain about missing contact details on individual team pages or a lack of expected website functionality. This is the same advic...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: There are some things to read between the lines that are also very telling. 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. Simons Rodk...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: That was across all companies and some stated product testimonials as being untrustworthy as well. We ran a poll a few years ago which came back in the single digits for people that actually trusted the testimonial pages of company websites. Never discuss payments or bank d...


Taborns Legal Business Review: As mentioned in the initial paragraphs, that's something we felt was lacking in the industry as a whole and was the reason goal our 1to1Legal service was born. Never more than a handful of law practices within the same area covering the same case types. law firms and account...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: No win, no fee just means that if you lose there will be no fees. The Law Society of England & Wales have the most informative and useful user-side display we've seen though. The branding is not nearly as important as the actual solicitor assigned to your case. We al...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: Every firm should make this absolutely clear to you early on in your enquiries. However a poll we ran a couple of years ago indicated that most people don't trust company's own testimonials anyway. The official website is www.thorpewilson.co.uk which we link to above. Ther...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: There has been a huge rise in clients of law firms being targeted by scammers. On this occasion, it definitely seems to be the case with a range of experience indicated including Mohammed Asghar and Fleur Ohonbamu who qualified in 1993 and 1999 respectively - going ...
