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: This should be made clear to you from the outset though once the details of your case are known. www.acs.co.uk and www.acs.com are two totally different IT companies.

Acumen Business Law Review: This could be a tanning salon, toy shop, magazine, cafe, or even charity.

Ashmans Solicitors Review: Not just from clients either, but from the barristers Ashmans has worked with too. So, what do Ashmans offer? Well, first here is what they must consider to be their greatest selling points as this information takes prime position on their front page: class="inf...

Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd Review: Quite often we get contacted by firms asking us to remove or reword things - so we must be doing something right! The point is, for this firm, the basic information and pros and cons didn't seem like they'd be useful information under the circumstances. We could imagin...
White Collar Legal Review: Having also just passed the big four-oh, I'll probably be leaking more and more in the coming years anyway ...

Blain Boland & Co Review: The main variant of www.blainboland.com is owned but is currently blank, and neither of the typical hyphenated variants (www.blain-boland.co.uk or www.blain-boland.com) show anything either. But with all the new opportunities out there, the new rules, the ease of the interne...
BMD Law Solicitors Review: It is not always available.
They also handle a range of other private client work such as Will writing, Probate, Power of Attorney, disputes, debt matters, insolvency and so on. (Many times we've seen the solicitor earn more money in legal fees than the client gets in c...
Brearleys Solicitors Review: Most of the time they are used in marketing campaigns - e.g. but again, much seems blank and no further information beyond what is already available on their main site. Some people may be happier talking to an older member of staff about certain things, and gender absolutely...
CBTRL Review:
The website has several PDFs available for people to download and discover more about the benefits of such services. All of a sudden, we could see a lot of solicitors clambering for experts in psychological trauma to boost the 'value' of the claim they are processing t...
Claims Funding UK Review: As we've said, many people end up out of work because of injuries. Then after the legally mandated 'cooling off' period, the funds will be transferred.
With many treatments and procedures under the NHS having huge waiting lists, or sometimes not being covered at all in ...
CSL Law Ltd Review: Impressively their FAQs section is not a list of fake questions designed to allow them extra paragraphs stating how great they are. It's a genuine FAQs section about the case types they handle. That's not unusual for Google, but in this instance it made researching difficul...
Cubism Law Solicitors Review: They joined our panel some years ago, and have grown steadily since. We all find our inspiration from different sources, and Andrew Pena (managing director and founder of Cubism Law) gives quite a detailed explanation of how he came to choose the name on the firm's 'About Us...
Countrywide Conveyancing Services Review: This resulted in a poll asking people if they would use an ABS coming back with only 1% saying 'yes'.

Davey Law Review: They involve themselves with the local community such as the http: www.cirencesterchamber.org.uk events " Cirencester Businesswomen's Club Lunch< a>. Absolutely I'm going to write a lengthy piece about this firm. It doesn't dramatically drop off in experience from that po...
DSL UK Debt Collection Review: The Track & Trace service works on a no trace, no fee basis so that if they don't find the person - you don't pay. Based just south of Birmingham, they have easy access to a wide population layout for personal contact and collection services. Vague statements about the lengt...
Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors Review: That's not a bad thing. Whilst social media profiles are great for providing things like phone numbers, addresses, opening hours, etc.
Their case range is just as wide, with help offered in Conveyancing, Right to Buy, Remortgaging, Probate, Contested Probate, Lasting P...
Else Solicitors LLP Review: The numbers provided are quite staggering. I dropped Adam a brief email.
The discussions that followed were to the point, emails were turned around quickly, there was a clear 'chain of command' for decisions, and those decisions were made - not umm'ed and ahh'ed about f...
FamLegal Family Legal Solicitors Review: The practice regularly features in the legal 500, and was honoured to be nominated as Best family law firm in the UK (lawyer monthly magazine in 2015).

Furse Sanders Review:
Why is all that important? Because Furse Sanders is a heart-on-their-sleeves kind of firm.

Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors Review: Their site doesn't say nearly as much about these services as it does for conveyance, so we can't provide you with much insight.

MacLachlan Solicitors Ltd Review:
This too is nicely honest though, because the majority of firms feel very inadequate about their establishment date if it's not very long. You get specialist firms for things like criminal law or property, and you get general practice firms that handle everything from ...
Mancini Legal Ltd Review:
I will make a quick note about navigation though, as the official website is www.mancinilegal.com, not www.mancinilegal.co.uk which currently has no website at all.
A good sign for any firm is their involvement in charitable work, whether local or national. Unfor...
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. His website states an estimated saving of around 25% to 50% when comp...
McShanes Solicitors Review: Fee quotations are focused not just on price, but on speed. But with such a wide case range, it would probably be worth asking about your legal issue over the phone even if you don't see a case title that matches exactly.
McShanes are widely recognised as a leading resi...
Mercantile Barristers Review:
class="infoquote "A change in the law in 2004 allowed barristers who have undertaken additional training to advise clients at first instance without the need for a solicitor. He's worked on everything from talent employment to intellectual property, image rights, merc...
Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors Review: There's also a distinct lack of self-promoting material. If you've come to 1to1Legal before to read informational reviews about firms, this one is going to have a couple of firsts. Having worked in immigration asylum myself for a couple of years, not being judgmental is some...
Murray Hay Solicitors Review: With very little information, a few nice pictures, but the focus on trying to get people to phone up with their questions rather than obtain their own answers from the site. To finish it off, we spotted this statement:
"The firm is made up of both male and female staff...
Thompsons Solicitors Scotland Review: You'll also be sent there if you try www.thompsonssolicitors.co.uk or www.thompsonssolicitors.com which - when you look at it - explains their choice of using a hyphen for clarity in the official domain.

Starck Uberoi Review: But putting 2+2 together we're pretty sure that the considerable Sikh mentions in this instance are the result of a personal interest of the Tweeter rather than a specific preference to appeal to any particular group of people. These personal focuses do not reflect the firm'...
Taylor Rose MW Solicitors Review: Being able to actually see and hear their staff? I'll bet many of you disappeared off to watch a few videos before continuing with this article. Deciding what information is useful, relevant, or up-to-date is a considerable task. But it will obviously depend on the search t...
