Buchanan & Co Ltd Solicitors in Staveley, Chesterfield, Kiveton Park & Sheffield: If you've been through a few other articles or pages of this site you may have noticed that 1to1Legal tries to offer a range of service providers with flexible search options - rather than cramming 100+ of the same type of firm into a directory.

CWJ Solicitors & Notaries - Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd in Orpington, Kent: In particular - property sales clients.

Drummond Miller LLP Solicitors in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bathgate, Musselburgh, Dalkeith & East Kilbride: So what can you use? People typically rush to review forums when thinking about using a firm.

Eatons Solicitors in Bradford, Bingley, Yeadon & Leeds West Yorkshire: Firms will try to express experience in many ways.

England & Derbyshire LLP Solicitors in Guildford and Woking, Surrey: The longest serving seems to have served 33 years as a solicitor.

Heritage Park Family Law Ltd - Barrister Chambers in Ampthill, Bedford: Some firms say 'established in 1881' but that doesn't mean a 150-year-old solicitor is sat behind a desk somewhere. This has allowed the number of specialist practices (which before could have been starved for clients, especially in rural areas) to balloon. So on this occa...


Horsley Law Solicitors in Stafford aka Horsley Holdings Ltd: So checking for an SRA number is a good idea before filling in a contact form.

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.

McCarthy + Co LLP Solicitors in Dublin, Cork & Clonakilty: McCarthy's site does state some of the awards won including a few from the Irish Law Awards.

SG Murphy & Co Ltd - Solicitors in Newtownabbey, Belfast: Including each side leaving negative feedback on each other's firm.

TWB Probate Solicitors Ltd - Estate Planning, Wills & Probate in London: But there is an area of law with some confusion when it comes to specialisms.

Wilford Smith Solicitors in Sheffield (Meadowhall) & Rotherham - WS Strategic Ltd: So they could have 10x staff members with only 4 years of experience each.

Wolf Law Solicitors Ltd in Wirral: We've seen many firms with negative reviews from buyers telling them to 'hurry up' their selling client.
