Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: So they are involved in some of the biggest life changes people can experience. Never discuss payments via email. class="infoquote "Being specialists in specific areas of legal work you can be confident that you are working with knowledgeable people"< div> Cu...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: With extra emphasis on good speed during house sales purchases. For our example (as the title suggests) we're going to use The Law Partnership. If a firm has only one solicitor on board yet states they handle every case type possible - then it is unlikely they will ex...

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Always remember though that ampersands cannot be in web addresses (e.g. We did notice negative reviews for this company online but they seemed to be the same one copy pasted onto each forum.

Guardian Law: There is a backdated blog of articles with dozens of advice segments with titles such as 'Risk to employers of backdated holiday pay claims' , 'Restrictive Covenants – are they worth the paper they are written on?' , and 'How do you unfurlough staff?' . They are an exce...


Backhouse Solicitors: class="infoquote "Book your free 30 - minute Consultation"< div> We're still very surprised that this offer from Backhouse's solicitors is something we can praise. Because if you see a rival firm with only 5 reviews that's actually 'normal'. class="infoqu...


WH Solicitors: Does WH Solicitors have that? The easiest way to check on a firm is to use The Law Society of England & Wales website for firms in those countries. Just remember to read all comments and not rely on average star ratings. It may be a phrase we dislike resorting to, but it f...

MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: But it should be noted that some firms use less than clear language for such statements. As Natalie isn't mentioned on the law practice's site or on the Law Society website at the time of writing this, we hope the firm at least noticed that fact. So how can you check this? ...


Bridge McFarland LLP: The negative ones all seemed to relate to delays in a house purchase. class="infoquote "The firm now has offices in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen and is considered one of the largest law firms in Lincolnshire, East and South Yorkshire and the Humber...


Woodstock Legal Services: There are several other things that stood out to us about this firm as well such as the professional https: www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk about#meettheteamanchor" team pages< a> showing staff profiles. Woodstock Legal Services is a trading name of Woodstock Legal ...

Smith and Graham Solicitors: So always read comments too. They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see .

Stowe Family Law: A large firm that gives you a free interview to discuss your case and costs before making you sign the dotted line is actually rarer than you might think . Some firms have very little writing with massive images of people shaking hands and smiling. We always recommend spea...


Rose Fendlen Law: Many firms use the same sales language, offer similar services, make similar promises, and even use similar images on their websites of people looking sternly at pieces of paper or shaking hands smiling. Another resource to help with this is one we frequently recommen...


Bell Lax Solicitors: Again, the fact they bought both domains and made sure they were linked is actually something rare for a firm to do . If you check out the page for this firm you'll see a range of experienced staff covering almost all of the last three decades. class="infoquote...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: that they are 'living in the past', 'unfriendly', or 'inexperience'). Rather than delve into a few specific topics at length, today's article will try to cover a much wider range of points. That means each will only be covered very briefly, but hopefully it will provide a g...


The Legal Practice Ltd: These days it is therefore imperative to make sure you're on the correct website (you can read about https: www.actionfraud.police.uk a-z-of-fraud phishing" phishing scams here< a>) and never discuss payments via email. We don't recommend it just for this firm's webs...

David Stinson & Co: They provide all trading names of a firm, alternate office locations, other contact details, languages spoken, and the qualification dates of any solicitors within the firm. It should be pointed out though that a good solicitor taking 25% of your £5000 settlement is st...


Cooks Solicitors: The experience levels of the solicitor running your case is the most crucial number out of the two. But it stands out to us . in a personal injury claim, professional and a top notch guy" "My solicitor was always polite and I think she deserves a lot of credit."< div> ...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: A quick note on navigation considering the varied brand names. I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. But that happens constantly for law firms. That's just plain rude. Quite often when a firm merges with another they will ei...


My Law Matters: More so than even the clothing industry which is saying something. Of course, even when firms do this they typically only copy the positive reviews to paste on their own website. But as long as the separate branding efforts have been strong (as Fentimans seem to have done ...

Milners Solicitors: By 'regular' we don't mean they are average. For one thing, there will often be far less reviews of law firms. People naturally write differently in response to these requests from the actual firm compared to how they write comments to their circle of friends. An enviable p...
