Antony Hodari Solicitors Housing Disrepair Specialists in Manchester: That's because law firms are one of the few service providers where the losing side often comes online to criticise the firm that beat them.

Argue & Co Legal - Allan Argue Personal Injury Solicitor in Glasgow: On one hand they imagine a larger firm will have larger resources to draw on and bigger 'clout' against third parties .

Beers LLP - Solicitors in Kingsbridge & Plymouth, Devon: That is not the case. Very positive with many of them quoting and praising the staff member involved by name.

Branch Austin McCormick LLP Solicitors in Mayfair, London: But if a firm claims to handle a wide range of case types and then has individual solicitors handling each specific type of case - then claiming to be 'specialists' seems perfectly fair. The jack-of-all-trades situation. But we've seen several people complain about a so...


Bridge McFarland LLP - Solicitors in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen: The first means the firm or the solicitor within the firm has been going for at least 40 years.

Cooks Solicitors in Newcastle under Lyme & Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire: That's also something we would consider a good sign that people outside the industry might not be aware of.

Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd in Preston, Lancashire: As you can see from the snippets above, they're largely quite positive .

Frazer Coogans Ltd - Solicitors in Ayr, Prestwick & Glasgow: Always kept us informed.

Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents in Clarkston & Mount Florida, Glasgow: The worst comment in our opinion though, was a 3 star review for the company because the client believed the firm's offices were Hard to find" .

HooperHyde Business Law Solicitors in Solihull: Unfortunately that's not always easy when it comes to law firms.

Mckie Legal Solicitors in Penrith & St Helens (ConnectMeToaLawyer Ltd): There are plenty of things you might not have thought of though that can identify a firm as offering more than another.

Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors in Bargoed & Tredomen, Wales: The official website is the full www.michaelleightonjones.com but at the moment the full site also pops up on www.michaelleightonjones.co.uk as well.

Milners Law LLP Solicitors in Leeds, Harrogate & Pontefract: That may be confusing to use the word 'specialist' to describe both a firm that handles a single case range and one that covers a huge case range.

MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd - Law Firm in Thornton-Cleveleys, Blackpool: Some variants such as www.mjvlaw.com are owned by different companies.

Pacific Law Estate Planning Solicitors in Manchester: We've also seen dozens of negative reviews followed by comments from the firm stating 'this person has never been a client of ours'. This is an area of law where we do think a specialist firm can be of benefit, the same as with something like Motor Offences. The officia...


Penerley Commercial Lawyers in Islington, London: The idea being that most people have an image in their head when the term 'solicitor' is mentioned.

Rose Fendlen Law - Solicitors in Wigan (Formerly LRose Law): Many companies have created Testimonial pages on their website.

Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors in Hackney: This is quite common for more difficult matters such as medical negligence.

They are far less likely to rush and publicly talk about their messy ...


The Search Bureau from Premier Searches Ltd - UK Conveyancing Search Provider: With just a few fake emails the scammers can seem to convince home owners to hand over tens of thousands of pounds to a completely different bank account.

Simper Law Ltd - Solicitors in Norwich & Great Yarmouth: At first glance Simper Law looks like a regular high street style setup with standard offices and several staff. class="infoquote "Between them, our solicitors have around 50 years' experience in law, and are passionate about working with all types of clients, b...


Smith and Graham Solicitors in Hartlepool, Peterlee and Middlesbrough: The other item in the original quote is about client happiness and the obvious place to check that out is the public forums such as https: www.google.com search?q=smith+and+graham+middlesbrough&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsb1Y6LZ8l5JrJ4SjzPRjRn5jLyzqg%3A16...

Stenfield Ltd Solicitors in Norwich & Harrow on the Hill, London: The majority preferred to read comments on third party forums such as Google Reviews, Yell, Trustpilot or Yelp.

Stowe Family Law - Divorce Solicitors in Harrogate, York, Beverley & Other Locations: Sadly despite the rest of the world moving forward to an always available and flexible contact model - a huge number of law firms still operate on the 9am-5pm Mon-Fri timetable including closing for lunch (which is when most people get their phone calls done). So how can y...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd in Southampton, Liverpool & Havant: Thankfully you can actually check this claim if the firm is registered with the English Welsh law society.

Taylor Price Legal Ltd - Solicitors in Leeds & Levenshulme (Manchester): But that's exactly what happens all too frequently with lawyers.

Summerfield Browne Solicitors in London, Birmingham, Cambridge, Oxford, Market Harborough & Leicester: class="infoquote "Where possible we try to agree fixed or capped fees. 'summerfield browne birmingham') to get reviews only on that office rather than the firm as a whole. This has the obviously knock on effect: class="infoquote "... class="infoquote "a...


The Legal Practice Ltd - Solicitors in Rickmansworth & Wembley Park, Greater London: The official website is www.thelegalpractice.co.uk but again, www.thelegalpractice.com is owned by a different firm. So again, the fact TLP have such a high rating despite handling property matters is not something to just brush aside. In our opinion the only 'years' n...
