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: That isn't so. Not by a long shot. However, the website states they have 20 years of experience in various personal injury matters. Beneath that we saw www.crashedtoday.co.uk and www.ukclaimline.co.uk both with titles indicating they were part of the same firm as well. ...
5 Essex Court Review: 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 client service, depth and breadth of experience in our specialist areas and the outstanding quality of...
Aconveyancing Ltd Review: On the face of it though, Aconveyancing very much seem to have the experience, client reputation, and goals they claim. These can save you quite a lot of money by simply processing the actual details of the sale purchase. Search for articles on using budget firms to hear of...
Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: You turned the case round completely"< div>. Typically when we review a firm we have to excuse the majority of their website's content. Normally we don't refer to a firm's own testimonials. class="infoquote "She [Aina] has for many years had a personally chosen, truste...
Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: The one we always recommend is local Law Societies. You'd think this would be common practice but out of the last dozen or so sites we've looked at - this is the only firm to do so . Sometimes when looking for new firms to add to our network we're not starting from a comple...
Apprise Legal Services Review: On those we still found very positive comments: class="infoquote "Excellent fast and efficient service" "... or any other such considerations where you actually might care a bit more about who-gets-what once you're gone - then expert advice advice is definitely ...
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. Whilst ...
Avery Walters Solicitors Review: In this case, Avery Walters definitely has well-experienced staff and a well-established firm . Which sounds far more impressive than 'we've been doing this for two years!' , doesn't it? In such cases, it's not always clear whether the numbers being stated are about h...
AWH Solicitors Review: Again though, this will not count for many case types such as injuries and medical negligence which you won't have to pay anything up front at all. These are old names or names of firms they have merged with so should really no longer apply. class="infoquote "We provi...
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: Always a good sign. Our experienced lawyers have the knowledge and expertise that can help you."< div>. That simply means their marketing guy has added all the working years of the staff together. DFA Law on the other hand has both a long establishment date and well-experi...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: Losing a license can often mean losing a job, let alone the school run, grocery shopping, weekends away, nights out, kids clubs, etc, etc, etc. A few points on navigation. You can search this firm's name on a news search and there's no fantastical articles about them g...
DV Solicitors Review: Not just in the legal industry either, but generally. We didn't just add them because of some positive reviews and the fact they handle cases in Pakistan. class="infoquote "Our top-notch legal services are not limited to UK residents, but we are also delivering super...
Education Law Service Ltd Review: You never know what scam will be next though so always make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments or bank details via email . If you've already been through a dozen law firm's sites today looking for one to help and didn't notice - just try typing ...
Fieldfisher LLP Review: For others, they like to see newspaper snippets about the firm helping in the local community or being asked their opinion for an article. One thing most people agree on is that seeing 'established in 1881' or some such ancient date proudly stamped across a firm's website - ...
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. So that's good. This is sometimes blatant marketing jargon and simply means they added up th...
GloverPriest Solicitors Review: However we did spot: class="infoquote "We give you peace of mind through a free 30 minute consultation, ensuring that we meet your exact requirements. our lawyers have a wealth of experience in dealing with legal matters from start to finish." < div> That's one of ...
Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: Having spent more than a year 'face down on the wet pavements of Liverpool taking photos and measurements' he's more aware of the big differences between the various personal injury firms. My case was handled professionally, with quick responses and constant updates at eve...
Howe + Co Solicitors Review: Luckily there are many resources available on the web for some independent backchecks and information. And by tiny, we mean absolutely unreadable. They have over 100 staff, cover a wide range of legal matters, and a long history. Gushingly so on occasions, as I'm gue...
R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: Beware of law practices touting ancient founding dates. '100% compensation' means that win or lose you have absolutely nothing to pay your solicitor. Just because there's a big speech about them being 'established in 1885!' doesn't mean there is a 175-year-old solicitor beh...
Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: When checking out review boards though, we always suggest you read comments rather than just look at star ratings. class="infoquote "The practice offers a highly personalised relationship, working closely with our clients to resolve the often complex range of legal ch...
Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: This typically results in no-one bothering to read through them. Even so far as responding to reviews on third party site. No website came up for most we tried either. That's a general complaint across the industry as a whole though, not something we think only Jarmans coul...
Khan Law Review: For example, you don't get individual pages on firms or their solicitors. It may have nothing to do with the practice of law. That's a ridiculously simplistic example, but it hopefully conveys the general point. Read the actual comments. We've always praised The Law Society ...
Kudos Legal Ltd Review: Some sections kept flicking into broken coding when viewing the site on our phones tablets. We always recommend a good mix of experience versus new blood ideas in a firm. At 1to1Legal we do our best to provide a good mix of firms for people to choose from when seeking a la...
Lawcomm Solicitors Review: Another stated how they had been serving the local community for over a hundred years simply because they bought the building from a longer established firm. It's not as though there are some 200-year experienced solicitors sitting behind any of the desks. As we mentioned in...
Levins Solicitors Review: We did find though that when you start typing 'levins solicitors' into Google it sometimes displays a totally different firm in the drop down suggestions. At a 200-year-old firm you may get a 1-year qualified solicitor acting for you. The idea is obviously that people will ...
Lindsays Solicitors Review: The contact details and links above are for Calio Claims which is a specialist setup from Lindsays focusing on Personal Injury matters. You can usually look up details about any firm with their local law society. class="infoquote "The talented people who work in our f...
Aspire Licensing Review:
Is this a negative point then? Licensing is an area of law where you can have help and be represented by a non-court-qualified person. You can always hang up and ring back on the phone number you know is correct to ask about it. Mostly due to having recieved an email th...
Linkilaw Solicitors Review: We did find a few still hanging around:
class="infoquote "They took the time to understand how our business works and the quality of the documents is excellent."
"Great team and management. The solicitors themselves also get scammed into paying out to the wrong ...

Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: This can be compared to a Will and how it is worded and the way the finances are passed on in order to ensure your family receive it rather than the bulk going to the goverment. Some people are handing over entire house deposits to fraudsters based solely on an email asking ...
McEwan Fraser Legal Review: - that's quite a small niggle.
class="infoquote "Scotland's Award-Winning Solicitors and Estate Agents"< div>
You'll see a simply huge number of law firms state they are award winning. To keep over 4 stars takes some doing.
A quick word on navigation.

MGBe Legal Review: If someone is not quite experienced enough for your personal injury claim, you might be a few hundred pounds less-better-off in your compensation settlement. From the very (sometimes unfathomably) niche boutiques, to large international firms. If someone calls saying they a...
MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: For example if all five of your local solicitor's offices have great reviews and well worded sales pitches on their website - you can check the background of the solicitors within each practice to see who may have the most experience. Clarity, communication, and results. So ...
NV Legal Ltd Review:
As all these extra case titles follow that format. Hence, why we have already included them on our network. You'll deal directly with your solicitor and they will be handling all aspects of your case. NV Legal are with The Law Society of England & Wales which actually h...
OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: We're amazed at the number of immigration firms on the web that only have an English version of their website. However, that's not really that helpful. It is certainly not the case that the standard high street law firm is the best option in every scenario. Again, it's a s...

Penerley Lawyers Review:

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 also need to be careful with claims such as '30 years of experience within the firm' or '25 years of combined experience' because that could simply mean several solicitors all with only a couple of years experience each. help me map out a sensible approach to t...
Pump Court Chambers Review: This always seemed un-necessary extra time and cost for clients. Having worked in that environment, this often caused friction. you'll see that many of the reviews are about specific individuals rather than a whole firm.
class="infoquote "Chambers are groups of barrist...
RD Costings Review:
Getting the right professional legal advice and related help such as from experienced counsellors can make a huge difference, not just to the amount you are awarded, but for mental recovery going forward as well. (Both genuine things we've seen.) Again, it's a small...
Redwood Collections Ltd Review: Our typical commission rate is 15% in most instances."< div>
Another very good incentive to use a debt agency such as these is their pay-on-results mentality. Great communication between us and our clients ..."

Reid Black Solicitors Review: they've posted general reviews elsewhere as well) - it provides a good dollop of veracity to the whole thing. This is a great move because as our poll last year showed, most people don't trust company created testimonial pages anyway. But for now, if you https: solicitor...
Richmond Legal Ltd Review: To use a description any less than 'expert' would clearly be unwise. Over the past two decades the number of law firms willing to work for the drastically reduced pay that Legal Aid provides has dwindled.
Don't expect this to change very quickly though. It's pretty ble...
Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review:
class="infoquote "Robin is a direct access barrister, mediator, investigator and arbitrator who has been involved in over 1,000 cases spanning more than 19 years"< div>
Straight off the bat we liked this opening statement on barrister Robin Somerville's website....
The Search Bureau Review:
class="infoquote "We know that our clients want a hassle free and transparent service and that is exactly what we have designed."< div>. It probably doesn't occur to employees of a firm to jump on the web to write a review about a service their company uses. We saw a f...
Serious Law LLP Review: The loss of a limb or your hearing sight are clear examples of this. A good mix of seasoned experience along with fresh minds and ideas.

Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: the domains www.simonsrodkin.co.uk and the dot com versions were not owned by anyone.

The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: Unfortunately if you're researching a legal practice in an other country such as Scotland or Northern Ireland - the information is not nearly as abundant. Such as:

Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: So how can you tell which might be more likely to deliver on those promises? One good resource is your area's Law Society website. As mentioned earlier, there are plenty of independent review boards to check such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp, etc. We saw a revie...
Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: There is a whole section https: trustinheritance.toolboxx.co.uk #bereavement" offering various products< a> to tailor towards what you might need if you're looking to handle the matter by yourself as much as possible. The Law Society of England & Wales is actually one of...
Bilkus & Boyle Review: The forty years Bilkus Boyle quote is therefore very reasonable and an understandable sort of figure. it almost makes them meaningless.
The majority of large conveyancing specialists have ratings as low as 2 or 3 stars. Another line on their site that probably sticks ...
