Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex: We would have thought by now that all law firms would offer free consulations but it's still something many resist. etc. It's also pushed many law firms to create hundreds of pages on their website to try and get listed at least somewhere for some search term you might typ...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman Ltd in Glasgow: class="infoquote "we bring together a wealth of industry-specific knowledge and expertise"< div> There will be no law firm on the internet claiming they have zero experience.

Brian Barr Solicitors Ltd Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia Compensation in Manchester: Certainly you can't get a balanced range of comments as no firm we've seen ever posts their negative feedback on their website alongside the positive. The majority of English and Welsh firms are listed on the site so it's a simple and quick way to check if the firm and it's ...


Brodies LLP Solicitors in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh & Inverness Scotland: You can receive great attention from a large firm and some small specialist firms have amazing resources and experience to draw on .

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd - Conveyancing & Legal Services in Chester: As for years of experience, there is often a big difference between any firm saying they have "40 years experience" versus "40 years of combined experience" or "40 years of experience within the firm". If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisatio...


Defank Solicitors in London: It's much harder to find firms that list general costs for other matters because of how varied they can be. The easiest way to spot the difference is by searching the bottom of the firm's website. class="infoquote "Our firm is proud to serve the London community and b...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy - Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution ADR in London: class="infoquote "Our secondary specialisation is contract writing drafting, contract review, contract analysis, document review, and election observer."< div>.

Drummond Miller LLP Solicitors in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bathgate, Musselburgh, Dalkeith & East Kilbride: It's very common for solicitors to use their names with an 'and' in between, but not in this case. class="infoquote "whilst your day to day dealings may be with your local branch, your case or transaction will be supervised by one of our solicitors who is an expert in...


Eatons Solicitors in Bradford, Bingley, Yeadon & Leeds West Yorkshire: The negative reviews are where you find out any themes showing a common issue.

EMD Law LLP Solicitors in Staplehurst & St Leonards-on-Sea: On this occasion the firm's official web address also matches the branding being located at www.emdlaw.co.uk, but note that www.emdlaw.com is for a different firm. We've covered https: www.directaccessportal.co.uk " Direct Access< a> barristers and even paralegal firms wh...


England & Derbyshire LLP Solicitors in Guildford and Woking, Surrey: These days, for many services, you don't even need to go to a typical high street solicitor. That could be because the firm's name uses terms usually associated with location - i.e. This is because you can't have an ampersand in web addresses. The longest serving seems to ha...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services in Hope Valley: We've even seen people leave reviews on the other side's solicitors trying to badger then into hurrying up with something. Both of these types should be trained, regulated and insured . This is hugely important to note because for property matters you absolutely need ...


Farah Family Law Solicitors in Birmingham: Because even though they handle multiple areas of law, they technically do have "specialist" solicitors. Their web address matches the branding with www.farahfamilylaw.co.uk being the official web address too. Someone who knows all the "tricks" the opposition might get up to...


Foster & Coleman Ltd Solicitors in Bromley, Greater London: People have no problem jumping online to type their thoughts about a local pizza place or lamp store - they are less likely to rush to tell everyone how their bankruptcy, messy divorce, or criminal law case is going. This isn't as big an issue for this firm as their case...


Frei Solicitors Ltd - Luxury Asset Law Firm in London: (A thing we assume they learned from the rise of Kardashian-style role-models before them.) So while a specialist firm to help people with the 'problem' of massive wealth might sound odd to most - it will be welcome news to those who have built their wealth on being carefu...


Girlings Solicitors LLP & Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd in Sandwich, Ashford & Canterbury: However, we do not recommend picking a firm based on whether they guarantee you 100% compensation versus taking a 25% 'success fee' (the average percentage). An excellent firm that fights hard for £10,000 with a 25% cut is better than a bad firm that quickly settles fo...


Goldsmith Bowers Debt Recovery & Litigation Solicitors in Bradford: Whoever it was certainly seemed annoyed at the firm but it was a slightly odd claim about 'they are trying to silence me' ? class="infoquote "free consultation with one of our experts about your needs and how we can help"< div> Despite our modern times of free ...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd in Haddington, Edinburgh, Dunbar, North Berwick & Tranent: But most people prefer to be able to read both the positives and negatives (if available) to get a better overall picture. Not GSB Solicitors and not "garden stirling and burnet". You can no longer look up reviews for an overall company. There is an ever further issue...


Guardian Law Ltd - Employment & HR Lawyers in Nottingham: We've seen a law practice praised for its 'tasty new menu' and a divorce specialist given a zero-star rating for refusing to handle someone's criminal law case. So what other resources are there? class="infoquote "Experienced employment law solicitors with empathy and...


Harrison's Solicitors - Conveyancing in Reading, Caversham & Woodley: www.harrisonssolicitors.co.uk is not currently owned by the firm and there will be plenty of variations like it also un-owned. class="infoquote "Our lawyers can assist you with everything from creating legally binding wills to dealing with probate issues.

HCR Legal LLP Solicitors Law Firm incl Medical Accident Group in Worcester, Birmingham & Hereford: However, since no other firm is going to say they do not have a passion for people - or that they don't care about making a difference to people's lives - this information doesn't really help you distinguish this firm from any other . Many firms offer 'testimonials' on thei...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd - Barrister Chambers in Ampthill, Bedford: You sometimes need to search for the firm name and city they are in to see that information pop up - e.g. For law firms there may be far less reviews than you expect. Heritage Park is listed on the other source we recommend, the website of the https: www.barstandardsboard....


Horsley Law Solicitors in Stafford aka Horsley Holdings Ltd: The firm is also registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great. Pay special attention if the firm you're looking into handles property matters because they are often targeting by fraudsters and https: www.ncsc.gov.uk collection phishing-scams" ph...


Kee Solicitors Ltd in Glasgow & Aberdeen: A couple of decades ago, a Family Law specialist practice such as Kee Solicitors would have been incredibly rare. But the 'high street solicitor office' handling a wide range of cases was more common. Their front page was a little more cluttered than we'd usuall...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson - Law Firm in Southsea, Portsmouth: For Large&Gibson it shows staff such as Richard Wootton who qualified in 1974, Peter Dymock in 1984, Michael Rowland in 1992, right up to the (relatively new) Cara Sandillon-Charlton who joined the profession in 2015. However our poll two years ago showed that there is very ...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: That's the difference to watch for. All linked together in an easy to use database. But how can you tell the difference? class="infoquote "offering a wide range of legal services to businesses and private individuals, domestic and international clients"< div> O...


Lyons Solicitors - Law Firm in Kingswood, Westbury-on-Trym & Chew Magna (Bristol): On the other hand, a law firm with one solicitor trying to deal with 20 different case types would clearly not count as a specialist. A quick note on navigation as there are several firms with 'lyons' in the name such as Lyons and Company and even one in the same town ...


Mark Croft Driving Offence Solicitor in Derby: At the time of writing the site was not https secure so it might be better to ring with your queries until this is sorted. For some reason, the buyer doesn't bother checking up on this before transferring the entire house deposit to the fraudster's bank account. They are too...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Ltd in Preston & Chorley: A quick note on navigation. Sometimes simply because an official looking email came through asking them to change the bank details the deposit is paid to.

McCarthy + Co LLP Solicitors in Dublin, Cork & Clonakilty: This includes the Law Societies of both NI and ROI too.

Nero Legal Solicitors Conveyancing Law Firm in Glasgow, Scotland: When people want to know whether the firm can deliver the service they're looking for, the place they tend to visit are the independent review boards: class="infoquote "kept us up to date with information throughout" "well priced and extremely professional" "eve...

MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd in London - Chartered Surveyors for Construction Dispute Arbitration: So they really should be given a bit more weight than regular consumer testimonials.

NJS Law in Blackburn (formerly Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors): We've seen law firms given 5 stars for their amazing new menu, and one criminal lawyer specialist had a 1 star review for refusing to take on someone's divorce case.

Oakwood Solicitors Ltd & Oakwood Property Solicitors in Leeds: that they are out of date, inexperienced, and inefficient) those descriptions are universal so also do not help you distinguish one firm from another.

PCS Legal Ltd Conveyancing Solicitors in Basildon, Ongar, Wickford, London, Rayleigh &Harlow: So it might be an idea to bookmark the site just in case.

Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law - Landlord / Tenant Eviction Dispute Solicitor in Southport, Lancashire: If the firm you are researching has several offices, this means Google makes you look up each individual office to see reviews on each one rather than all reviews of a company as a whole.

Solidaire Solicitors - Solidaire Law Ltd in Milton Keynes: So how do you tell the firms apart when a website is pretty much all you have to go on? Solidaire are a law firm based in Milton Keynes.

Sternberg Reed LLP Solicitors with Offices in Romford, Barking & Grays: But when it comes to legal services it's not unusual for people to spend considerable effort flicking through various firm's websites looking to see which looks right for them . The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your details on their contact form. So what independen...

The Law Partnership Ltd - Solicitors in Coventry: Some of the largest conveyancing companies in the UK handling hundreds of transactions a month have star ratings in the 3s.

TWB Probate Solicitors Ltd - Estate Planning, Wills & Probate in London: For example, in some cases you may be better off with an accountant or a barrister rather than a solicitor. That's not to say there aren't alot of well experienced people such as paralegals out there who can help. This is to let people realise and choose from more options ...


UVS Law Immigration & Visa Solicitor in Burton-on-Trent & London: Each category has different requirements and eligibility criteria, and the application process may vary depending on the type of visa being sought. These include work visas, business visas, study visas, family visas, tourist visas, and transit visas. However this can only be...


Walker Foster Ltd Solicitors in Skipton, Barnoldswick, Silsden, Settle, Ilkley, Northallerton & Harrogate: That's more rare than you might expect. You can't see reviews of the company as a whole any more. You need to search for reviews on each individual office - e.g. That's a big bit of praise considering we're a old Scottish company. Ironically we review law firms. ...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd in Bradford: For example www.waterstoneps.co.uk currently does not redirect you to the correct site. It's not as if 'no site' means the company has shut down for a while. For example if you see any firm stating 'established in 1881' or any other such ancient founding date - that only tel...


WH Law Ltd - Immigration Solicitors in Woking: Plus Google sometimes only returns reviews for a firm if you put in a location so you'd need the full 'wh solicitors woking'. class="infoquote "Unfortunately immigrating to the UK is not simple.

Wildcat Law Ltd Solicitors in London & Southampton: This lets you gauge the amount of actual experience a law firm might have at its disposal. You can hire a barrister yourself.

Wilford Smith Solicitors in Sheffield (Meadowhall) & Rotherham - WS Strategic Ltd: Which makes these statements almost useless for a consumer trying to tell the firms apart. We think it's quite a pointless claim which Wilford Smith and many others thankfully do not make. class="infoquote "You can be confident that by instructing us, we will take ca...


Wolf Law Solicitors Ltd in Wirral: Such as this cutting above from their website. Wolf Law show a mix of abilities with solicitor Nadeem Akhtar qualifying as such in 1999 and Lyndsy Sword joining the profession in 2019.

WYM Legal Ltd Conveyancing Solicitors in Watford: For today's example we're in the world of property sales highlighting the firm WYM Legal. So what things can be useful? First it should be noted that not all firms stating they deal with Property matters are actual firms of solicitors. Either the length of time taken,...


Law (aka All Law Ltd) Solicitors in Preston: But the first thing we would recommend when searching for legal help is not to get taken in with marketing jargon. For example, with Law (aka All Law Ltd) it says solicitor Jeffrey Garland qualified 1982 while Christopher Mccrudden joined the profession in 2016. So it might ...
