Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services in Whitley Bay, Newcastle: There is a firm called Aspire Law but that's a totally different group with their own website.

CEL Solicitors in Liverpool - Housing Disrepair, Knotweed, & Data Breach Claims: We typically don't quote reviews listed on a firm's own website (more commonly called 'testimonials') ever since our poll last year indicated that only 8% of people trust such testimonials on company sites.

DV Solicitors (Deo Volente Legal LLP) Law Firm in Bedford & Luton: The Law Society of England & Wales is a simply excellent resources for background research . The statement about having served clients for seven years though may make them sound quite new compared to the hundreds of law firms boasting founding dates in the 1800s and beyond....


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd in Preston, Lancashire: Unfortunately such terms are actually unhelpful because no firm is going to claim to be 'draconian', 'novices', 'in-experienced', and 'unfriendly' - are they? So what parts can you use and where can you look for good information to compare lawyers against each other? ...


Education Law Service Ltd - Special Educational Needs Lawyer in London: That's still much better of course than charging you full price just for an introductory discussion about whether they can even help you. In the past this usually only applied to cases that would be run on a no win, no fee basis anyway such as Personal Injury matters. It w...


Fair Result Ltd Divorce Settlement Mediation Services in Leicester: With the generic words in the brand name and the hyphenation, there are obviously dozens of other possibilities not to mention common typos with double lettered middles such as using 'fairesult'.

The English Welsh law society's site provid...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitors in St Asaph, Menai Bridge & Chester: Unlike companies that can talk endlessly about a product and provide specs - law sites have to fill the void with self-praise about their abilities because they are the product .

Mason Bullock CCJ & Employment Solicitors in Coventry: The reason we point out common errors is because of how easy it is for people to think they are on the correct site or being emailed from an official address when they are not.

Pacific Law Estate Planning Solicitors in Manchester: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty year experienced lawyer that joined a new legal practice starting up in their area. ​ class="infoquote "Here at Pacific Law, we have embraced the modern wo...


Penerley Commercial Lawyers in Islington, London: Penerley do have slightly longer opening hours than some firms and we saw one website listing them as having a half day Saturday open too.

Rose Fendlen Law - Solicitors in Wigan (Formerly LRose Law): Because the actions needed for each of the case titles quoted can follow the same general direction and court proceedings if necessary.

Richmond Legal Ltd Solicitors in Middleton, Manchester: A quick note on navigation though as when we tried searching for information around the web about this firm, Google wasn't the most helpful.

Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors in Hackney: It boggles the mind. This may sound like a lot and you may find a solicitor that agrees to run the same case with a 100% compensation guarantee. Apparently people really are sending tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters without bothering to check with their solicito...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister & Mediator in Barnet, Greater London: Most companies will more likely have some vague references to greatness, such as 'we are one of the leading award-winning law firms in the area!' .

Taylor Price Legal Ltd - Solicitors in Leeds & Levenshulme (Manchester): We've seen that more times than should be expected.)

The Legal Practice Ltd - Solicitors in Rickmansworth & Wembley Park, Greater London: So whilst other industries have moved on to the point where restaurants, technologies, and even just social media sites are favoured by their newness - many solicitors still cling to the idea that ancient is better when it comes to law. So again, the fact TLP have such a h...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd Immigration & Family Law in London: The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. To us at least, that makes such firms where they have individual solicitors handling certain case types still very much a 'specialist'. That might be the reason on...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Wills, Probate & Estate Planning in Weston-Super-Mare: With Wills & Probate though, this idea of specialism goes an extra step further. Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. Another thing that should be mentioned though is the level of alternate and individual services...


ULA Solicitors Ltd - Law Firm in London: It states Julian Groombridge qualified as a solicitor in 1998, Mohammed Ullah in 2004, Ines Azreyek-Diab in 2013, and others.
