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:

ACS Accident Claims Scotland Review: No win, no fee means no fees if the case loses. It is a specialised area and too important to trust to your local 'jack of all trades' who may have helped with your divorce or your last house purchase."< div> It's a fair point to make about specialists.

Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd Review: (No pun intended.) Unless you have the most expensive and utterly inclusive insurance policy, most people will have to sort out or find separate people for their accident recovery, car hire, repairs, injury claim, etc. Car hire is not cheap. Very little reviews on the ...


Balfour+Manson LLP Review: They have profile pages for their staff, but all the profile photos show people dressed smartly in an office setting. So please don't bear a grudge if some bits and pieces don't get the full run-down that you've come to expect from our law firm articles. The website is mostl...

Blain Boland & Co Review: They have a few extra niche sites such as www.weareconveyancers.com and www.weareemploymentlawyers.com too, but none of them link to to the site you really need which is the one we link to.

Brearleys Solicitors Review: if they are trying to increase their business law department. color="green "My family use your Brighouse branch regularly ..." < font> sounds like a ringing endorsement as well. We use the Legal Ombudsman's report a lot in the work we do, and if there is one important thin...


Briffa Legal Ltd Review: Roughly it's about half and half right now. One look at Briffa's website though with the large text, bright pinks, yellows, and flower images - we knew we were on to something. That's not to say they appear anything less than professional: class="infoquote "Briffa:...


CBTRL Review: In our opinion, psychological injuries and their treatment should always have been given more credit and concern than they were. will always have professionals involved quite early on. The company was initially called CBT Rehabilitation Ltd. Counselling, PG Dip. The p...


CFG Law Review: Again, bias may come into play but I've been injured twice by negligence in the NHS and once had to grab the hand of a doctor who was about to use a dirty used needle on my daughter that he'd picked up by mistake. But I'm sure you'll agree that whilst the CFG website might l...

CSL Law Ltd Review: But we also check links, phone numbers, and general reputations of our network firms over time. That's not unusual for Google, but in this instance it made researching difficult and it became apparent that unless people actually dug into some of the links - they might form i...


Cubism Law Solicitors Review: I'm a big Dali fan so have seen a few examples of the Cubism style. Unlike the 'Quality Solicitors' branding we've detailed in other articles, (which basically overwrites the original company in the same way a Spar would take over a local newsagent), the logo is the only ch...


Countrywide Conveyancing Services Review: So we absolutely 100% recommend bookmarking the site once you land on it to make sure you come back to the right place. . When you first arrive on any of C...


Davey Law Review: On top of that, www.daveylaw.com also takes you to a different company. Any company that can't offer something special, is believed to be risking failure. We cannot stress enough the importance of using a firm that states expertise and experience in such cases by name. Whil...


DSL UK Debt Collection Review: However, times are changing. Usually, by ten years in, the directors of any successful firm are taking 'meetings' around the country and 'research missions' abroad. The company's director, Mike Brooks, still calls himself a Debt Collection Consultant on the information ...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors Review: Locations, phone numbers, etc. They are not very good for actual useful communication when it comes to legal issues. Can law firms straddle the line between stalwart and modern? For Edward Hands & Lewis, we'll start with a 'do they have history' question. If you haven't...

Wills & Probate - ensure your private affairs are in order. They also run a blog with helpful information for everyone, with title such...


Helix Law Ltd Review: This is because the articles are mostly written by the firm's marketing staff rather than a seasoned professional at the firm taking time out fo their schedule to try and provide free help to the public. Both with firms trying to boost their own image, and with competitors t...


HJA Solicitors Review: (No, seriously.) We didn't see such things on this occasion though. Of course, some firms do go a bit far sometimes detailing hobbies, music preferences, and even favourite colours. This popularity seems to come without the usual nay-sayers. Indeed, we have a couple of...


Huneewoth Solicitors Review: The clinching piece of information? The fact that she defined the case types she had 'experience' in, as opposed to those for which she felt she had the necessary 'expertise'. Their information is hosted on the National Solicitor's network. It's because I only write about f...


IWC Probate & Will Services Review: Many firms hate review sites and we've covered a couple of firms where a chunk of the 5 star reviews were clearly faked< s> ... So whilst we always try to write comprehensive and balanced articles about each of the firms we cover - this one may sound considerably more "pr...


Jackson Lees Group Review: So, now everything seems to be accessible from that main website rather than spread out now.

Jefferies Solicitors Ltd Review: They point out that things such as depreciating value of the car, road tax increases, and so on are yet to be discovered. The main people to note would probably be Michael Jefferies (Managing Director), Nina Ramsden (Director), and Kathryn Harland (Personal Injury Solic...


Kings Court Trust Ltd Review: The general site layout seems to be various snippets about why you should choose to use their services with plenty of references to their phone number. KCT's Chief Executive, Tom Curran, https: www.legalfutures.co.uk latest-news exclusive-leading-probate-provider-becomes-a...


KTP Solicitors Review: The www.ktpsolicitors.co.uk variant just seems to jam things up, and www.ktpsolicitors.net (which we sometimes see used for email addresses with the firm) has no actual website. Obviously this is just advice. If you flick through the K-T-P website, the origin of the name doe...


Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors Review: (No, that's not a real word.) Anyway, enough about their site. Their testimonials go like this: "Tanya has been an absolute star and we would not have been able to get this purchase complete without her hard work. A slogan taken from the 'no win, no fee' claim people b...


Law In Cornwall Review: They also cover the regular range of personal injury compensation claims available. '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 a...


Leech & Co Review: Certainly as you can't have a web address containing an ampersand (&), any "& Co" firm will need to use the expanded 'leechandco' style. In fact for most industries whether financial or farming, the 'News' or 'Blog' section of a company's website is usually just some t...

Joanna Connolly Solicitors Review: Joanna Connolly Solicitors is a sole practitioner law firm striving to provide a high level of service for consumer credit, contentious probate, and insolvency matters.

MacLachlan Solicitors Ltd Review: A lot of the cliches and common exaggerations we see on most firm's websites are happily missing.

Most people are already aware of phishing where scammers buy and use domain names that are very similar to real companies so I won't labour the point.. etc. M...


Marcus Andreen Business Law Review: Marcus Andreen is a solicitor for commercial and IT law. 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. Prior to that he worked in legal roles for Mobile Systems Internation...


McShanes Solicitors Review: They've striven for a reputation as: a high-quality service with first-class technical ability and commercial acumen. They have also been awarded the Lexcel Practice Management Standard by the Law Society. The name on its own will take you to different companies (i.e. Unusua...


Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors Review: We couldn't find any information on why they are called Meresbrook Pollard, but they wouldn't be the first firm to just pick a name they like the sound of. More than 1000 solicitors had to close up shop last year alone. Word of mouth may suffice. color="green "We work...

Qdos Legal Services Ltd Review: But sites such as www.qdosconsulting.com, www.qdoscontractor.com, www.qdoshr.com and www.qdospartnerships.com with specialist information and products for businesses do exist. the "good service vs costs" balance. That means a large proportion of their caseload comes from cla...


RG Solicitors Review: To be honest, when I first started flicking through the site, my personal assumption was that their content writer had watched a few YouTube videos on sales techniques and got carried away. However, having been through the site and chewed the information more thoroughly...


RJ Gill Solicitors Review: Perhaps 'boast' is too strong a word though, because whilst some firms will devote large sections of their website to displaying their charitable nature, coupled with plenty of press releases about how charitable they are - we don't see any of that here. So who are the...


Robson & Co Solicitors Review: Team - we're impressed. The same does not often apply to things such as motor offences. Here at 1to1Legal, we've found it difficult to find enough firms that deal with discrimination and unfair dismissal. He is a Higher Court Advocate (Criminal), appears regularly in th...


RSR Law Ltd Review: Specialist Solicitor." with statements on how each relates to contesting a will. On this occasion, there is actually a lot clarification of what is meant: class="infoquote "All our initial advice to assess your case is free ... All will be explained prior to entering...


SBW Law Ltd Review: No firm is ever going to state they are 'cold' or 'unfriendly'. For example, here is a single sentence from the SBW Law website. Today's article centres around the firm SBW Law. SBW Law doesn't use such potentially misleading language on their website. If you've read any o...


Taylor Rose MW Solicitors Review: And so on, and so on. Those definitely still exist. If you go searching for their site, the main one should be listed at the top of the search results. Also note that the firm was formerly called TTKW not MW for many years. Then in 2009 they branched out into other case type...


Taylor Bracewell Review: Clearly, there is a general theme in TB's personal law department, which is always a good sign for focus and expertise. The Family Law department handles the usual divorce, separation, civil partnerships, injunctions, cohabitees, pre-marital agreements and so forth. The...


The Johnson Partnership Review: It's not just Google though. Not just that, but they look like genuine 5☆ reviews too (i.e. Immigration, insurance, police officer, court work, accident investigation, solicitor, etc. So when you see the words 'as the largest' from a criminal firm that ha...


Thompsons Solicitors Scotland Review: It's probably because of this that their site has considerably sized News and Blog sections , because the articles within are most likely targeted at industry professionals. The amount of negligence that caused either injury isn't actually as important when calculatin...


White Collar Legal Review: With an hourly rate that is almost 70% less than a typical solicitor, White Collar's setup and abilities should not be seen as "less than" a 100-staff legal practice. Is there enough history and information out there to make an informed decision? Certainly there are re...

Kings View Chambers Review: So what about the barristers themselves? Stephen McCaffrey is Head of Chambers at Kings View Chambers having become a barrister in 2007. A barrister has to be qualified to do so, but being able to hire a barrister directly to represent your interests in court can sa...
