Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors in Hackney: The age of the firm's brand name has absolutely no bearing on whether the actual solicitor assigned to your case has any experience at all.

The Legal Practice Ltd - Solicitors in Rickmansworth & Wembley Park, Greater London: Sometimes simply because they received an official-looking email that said the bank details for payment had changed.
