Over the past 20 years we've written hundreds of articles about the legal industry. Here are a selection about individual firms.

HJA Solicitors Review: This 'big-ness' doesn't just apply to their online presence or things that could be considered mere PR branding efforts. Their local university even https: www.westminster.ac.uk news-and-events news 2014 london-law-firm-receives-career-development-centre-award" awa...


Huneewoth Solicitors Review: We check the firm's website for clarity and usability (e.g. Some law firms will state a range of language abilities, when what they mean is they can get an interpreter into the office within 24-48 hours to translate back and forth.

IWC Probate & Will Services Review: So, do we have any negative points to raise? Well, they could use a really good search function for the help articles rather than just the drop down category menu.

Jackson Lees Group Review: Certainly our own donations have been guided by recommendations in the past.

Kings View Chambers Review: As an experienced barrister you can be confident your case will be presented professionally."< div> The firm's website does have a news section with actual news in it (rather than simply lots of extra sales pitch-y pages) For example, Stephen has been https: www.step...


KTP Solicitors Review: They also try to avoid court where possible, resorting to mediation - especially in family law cases. But that was back in 2002, and as you well know from TV - criminal defence lawyers always do what they can to defend their client. The www.ktpsolicitors.co.uk variant just s...


Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors Review: The site says that the quotes are 'free', but really, we've never seen a firm that charges to give you a quote. They operate out of their Norwich office, but like the majority of conveyancers they can work anywhere in England and Wales. Their site doesn't say nearly as ...


Law In Cornwall Review: 'No win no fee' is not the same thing as '100% compensation', despite both being thrown around in various law firm's adverts. They cover the usual personal injury types of claims, such as work accidents, accidents in a public place, back or spinal injuries, slips trips ...


MacLachlan Solicitors Ltd Review: But unless they had a negative experience or have been encouraged by the firm to go and leave a review - the number of people that take the time to comment on their solicitor to Yellow Pages is pretty low. class="infoquote "We are large enough to offer a full range of...


Mancini Legal Ltd Review: We've covered this in articles before, but to put it very briefly - having a 200+ year old firm does not mean there is a 200+ year old experienced solicitor leading the team. There's real clarity and an obvious goal to work with clients outside of the typical 9 to 5. It's on...


Marcus Andreen Business Law Review: However, where it is not possible to determine the amount of time any work is likely to take, charges will be calculated on the basis of time spent. As a commercial lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience providing legal support to companies and individuals - his clients ...


McShanes Solicitors Review: There are a few different names, such as Criminal Representation rather than the more common Criminal Defence or Criminal Law. Fee quotations are focused not just on price, but on speed. Of course, we probably wouldn't have them on the network if they were so inclined. ...


Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors Review: There are no lists of negative reviews on the regular review sites. We highly recommend that you bookmark the site once you're on it for that reason. So if Meresbrook Pollard do need to remove this offer at some point, or if these sites were displaying the promotion well pas...


Murray Hay Solicitors Review: They have 25 years behind them in the area, which will have given them plenty of time to have a wide, loyal, local client base. It's probably best just to ring and ask as they probably do handle your type of case. Hopefully if you've visited the site, seen the layout, t...


Qdos Legal Services Ltd Review: You may be tempted to take this the wrong way, but remember that as Qdos state a lot of their work comes from claims made through insurance policies for help with legal matters - a good resolution surely means both the insurer and the original client should be happy? O...


RG Solicitors Review: Often giving us a feeling that can only be described as - if your Dad showed up to your school and performed a rap to show all your friends that he's cool. The law in the UK is old. However, they do have offices spread along the length of England, in Sidcup, York, and Horsha...


RJ Gill Solicitors Review: Either way, it's probably best to bookmark the correct site to ensure no typing or search errors.. Hard to leave that one behind! Robert Gill's own profile on the site is full of language regarding his goal color="green "to make a real influence in the lives of people...


Robson & Co Solicitors Review: But personally, taking the rest of the content into consideration (and as the person actually writing this review) I believe it is gender-free expression. Worse still, are those firms where the receptionist asks you personal questions, you answer them, she walks through to t...


RSR Law Ltd Review: Timescale. The offered service seems identical to that promised on the main site, but with extra clarifications regarding things such as home visits where needed, that they only cover England Wales, and so on. Confused? Well, take this example. Timescale. The 2013 date only ...


SBW Law Ltd Review: That brings us back to the earlier comment about subtle word differences. But there are some statements which may say more than you think. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 622256 sbw-law-limited" check out the page< a> for any firm you'll be given a weal...


Taylor Rose MW Solicitors Review: There's a wide range of https: www.taylor-rose.co.uk media case-studies " information articles< a> available with step-by-steps and typical costs noted where possible. Then in 2009 they branched out into other case types before taking over the property and commercia...


Taylor Bracewell Review: When relationships break down, often there are more than just the two people affected and the considerations are far reaching. Sara Ellison, Head of HR and Employment Law, was called "down-to-earth" with the whole team at TaylorBracewell receiving general comments like "...


The Johnson Partnership Review: That was it, and despite having never been a criminal solicitor - I would imagine the old 'honey vs vinegar' adage would apply when dealing with the police anyway? It wasn't until we put quotation marks around the firm's name (which forces Google to match the search te...


Thompsons Solicitors Scotland Review: However, that site is only for England and Wales. They have offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Peebles, Galashiels and Dundee. Not least because most people only go online to review something when they've had a bad experience. So what are people saying on the public boards? ...
