Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd - Vehicle Accident Management: Car hire is not cheap. The reason this article has been built around side-information, anecdotes, and general consumer advice is because Auto Logistic Solutions are not a law firm. But that's my point. When you consider there are 1 million uninsured drivers you can see the m...
Avery & Walters Ltd - Solicitors in Leeds & Harrogate: I would highly recommend them"< div> Sadly review boards can be manipulated both ways - i.e. So despite the lower star rating for Avery Walters, we still come away with the impression of a very positive firm after going through the actual review wording.

In this review we'll try and point out the most useful we've found. It's clearly working for them...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors in Liverpool: Their firm, it's staff, and the legal industry as a whole mean a lot to them. So how do the consumer reviews stack up? Not great at the moment.

Fieldfisher LLP Personal Injury Solicitors in Manchester & London: 100% compensation guaranteed means there will be no fees if you WIN either.

HH Law Ltd - Hampson Hughes Solicitors in Liverpool: Do Hampson Hughes Solicitors do well in this area? Their own website testimonials certainly say so, but that's to be expected.

Helix Law Ltd - Solicitors in Brighton & Eastbourne: It's as if a website can't be considered 'official' unless you have a bunch of articles no-one ever reads.

HJA.net - Hodge Jones & Allen LLP Solicitors in London: By the umpteenth award, we did what most people would do - i.e. Of course, some firms do go a bit far sometimes detailing hobbies, music preferences, and even favourite colours.

Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd in Newry and Dublin: Over the past 20+ years of working with law firms we've seen so many negative reviews for firms that were clearly unwarranted or simply about the wrong firm.

Jarmans Solicitors Ltd in Sittingbourne, Kent & Chancery Lane, London: We would hope that most people will already realise that the age of a law firm's building, brand name or even staff is really neither here nor there.

Joanna Connolly Solicitors in Liverpool, Merseyside: Whilst many firms offer no win no fee and 100% compensation guarantees for things such as personal injury - the same is not always offered for other case types.

However, as I s...
Levins Solicitors in Huyton, Liverpool: We did find though that when you start typing 'levins solicitors' into Google it sometimes displays a totally different firm in the drop down suggestions. Most reviews are about their Criminal Law help and Conveyancing work. There may therefore be some confusion amongst the...
Lindsays Solicitors Offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow & Dundee: The contact details and links above are for Calio Claims which is a specialist setup from Lindsays focusing on Personal Injury matters.

Alexander JLO Solicitors - AJLO in London, Birmingham, Chelmsford, Norwich & Liverpool: Barely anyone qualifies for it these days anyway.

Accredited legal professional...
Mason Bullock CCJ & Employment Solicitors in Coventry: There were obviously a few niggles in our research.

MGBe Legal Immigration Lawyers in London: What about prior clients? The legal industry is not the same as other such as retail when it comes to public reviews.

This is another statement to keep an eye out for and something which often pops up in negative reviews of firms. Something we've been trying to encourage firms to focus mo...
OJ Solicitors Ltd English & Romanian Solicitors in Glasgow: In any given area we may only recommend 3-4 local law firms for your case type. For example, if a firm does not actually state Medical Negligence as a case type they handle and have at least a few paragraphs talking about it - it would be best to move on to the next firm. It...
OTS Solicitors Ltd Immigration & Family Law in London, UK: For example, many do not state which awards have been won.

Many firms may quote a...

RD Costings Ltd - Criminal Injury Claims based in Portishead: www.rdcosting.co.uk) also were not currently in use at the time of writing. (Both genuine things we've seen.)

Redwood Collections Ltd - Debt Recovery Services based in Croydon: By now though, we would actually suggest avoiding any firm that doesn't engage in good technology-based service such as video conferencing or fast email responses.

Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister & Mediator in Barnet, Greater London: You essentially end up paying for two people to do the work of one and dragging the case out for longer.

RSR Law Ltd in Croydon: Contest. In the case of RSR Law, it was things like publicly denouncing cold-calling and their cessation of personal injury claims handling that initially grabbed our attention.
class="infoquote "RSR Law is taking a stance against cold calling and does not and will nev...
SBW Law Ltd - Solicitors in Liverpool: SBW Law doesn't use such potentially misleading language on their website.

Taborns Legal Business - Will Taborn Ltd in London:
You'll have noticed that we are very selective about the firms we add to our database. Unlike most firms that use the News Blog area to simply write a bunch of extra thinly disguised sales pitches - these are some real articles with highly niche topics . Please note th...
The Injury Solicitor Ltd - Road Accident Claims in Salford, Manchester: So don't discuss bank details or payments via email, and if someone phones you up saying they are from the firm you are using feel free to hang up and call back on the official number you know already works. Such as:

The Johnson Partnership Solicitors in Nottingham, Sheffield, Doncaster & Derby: Again, when trying to search for their largest piece of coverage by Channel 4 entitled "Partners in Crime" - there is nothing but information about the far more recent David Walliams drama from the BBC that shares the same name.
