Editorials on UK Legal Companies Page Two
Buchanan & Co Solicitors: it sounds great but doesn't actually provide you any information to help you separate them from any other firm. 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 s...
Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: With people moving more freely between companies these days that is even less true now than it was fifty years ago. We did notice negative reviews for this company online but they seemed to be the same one copy pasted onto each forum. If you need to check up on any...
Guardian Law: class="infoquote "We have been around since 2006 but recently rebranded from Your HR Lawyer to Guardian Law"< div> A quick note on navigation as branding changes such as this aren't the only thing to pay attention to when clicking back and forth to firms online....
Backhouse Solicitors: Without devaluing their acheivement, we should point out why this is unusual. We want to change that."< div> Rather than disecting every word on the firm's site like we do, most consumers immediately turn to third party review boards when they want to research a firm. ...
WH Solicitors: But not all specialists are the same. (And that's tough to say living in one of them!) class="infoquote "We have in-depth knowledge of immigration and EU law with plenty of experience in dealing with the Home Office"< div> If you check https: solicitors....
Two Harcourt Buildings: No firm is going to claim it is archaic, inefficient, and unfriendly. The latter is typically a full team of various staff working together with receptionists, PAs, HR department, meeting rooms, and waiting rooms with plants, magazines, and the obligatory fish tank. Especial...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Negative ratings aren't always deserved.
The question of course is whether this can result in a firm being better when it comes to handling clients and cases or if it has no effect at all. It dawned on us straight off the bat with this statement on the front page of ...
Bridge McFarland LLP: The negative ones all seemed to relate to delays in a house purchase. Take this example:
class="infoquote "Bridge McFarland LLP is a leading regional law firm that holds an exceptional local, national and international reputation"< div>
It sounds good, but what ...
Woodstock Legal Services: Having worked in the legal industry for over 20 years we're still surprised to come across some firms that we'd not heard of before.
Whilst there is a definite 'perfect professional' curve between experience and age, the fact this firm has qualified people from acros...
Stephanie Heijdra: studied for a Law Degree at the University of Liverpool and was awarded her LLB (Hons), enabling her to start her bar professional training course (BPTC) whilst simultaneously studying for an LLM in Human Rights Law at Manchester Metropolitan University. But what about exper...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: They provide far, far more than any of their rival organisations on the user side including office locations, aka business names, alternative contact details, and most importantly - the qualification dates and areas of law each solicitor within a firm specialises in. Sound...
Thaxted Legal Ltd: A quick note on navigation though as the firm's official website is www.thaxtedlegal.com which we've linked to above but none of the variants such as www.thaxtedlegal.co.uk, www.thaxted.co.uk or the .com redirect you there. There are countless numbers of fraudsters https: ...
Smith and Graham Solicitors:
class="infoquote "always available when we had questions"
"Fair priced and transparent in their dealings"
"responsive and always kept me updated with the developments of the case"< div>
The independent review boards were mainly positive comments like this...
Brown and Co Solicitors: So what are people saying about the firm on the independent boards:
class="infoquote "answer phonecalls and reply emails almost immediately and even on weekends"
"never had to call him as he always kept me updated via email or text"
"license was granted on that ve...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: and recommendations"< div>
A quick note on navigation as the firm uses a shortened version for the web address. A team of seasoned heads but with fresh legs is surely the best grouping you could hope for in an industry that is also struggling to balance between the o...
Hill House Chambers: Hence the reason for us breaking with tradition over testimonials. At the moment there are only names and the year the person qualified as a barrister.
class="infoquote "I have barristers based in different parts of the UK and they are also more than happy to travel f...
Stowe Family Law: However this statement alone should qualify our decision.
The second impressive thing we'd point out is the firm's opening hours.
class="infoquote "Within our 80-plus strong team of leading UK divorce lawyers, we have forensic accountants, a dedicated childrenâ€...
Rose Fendlen Law: So what are the third party forums https: www.google.com search?q=Rose+Fendlen+Law+wigan&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsaA6UiOROI_I98lFuvy3JwpYFg0Ag%3A1669776740024&ei=ZMWGY_mJAZHngAaRnr3QBA&ved=0ahUKEwj5y8WL89T7AhWRM8AKHRFPD0oQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=Rose+Fendlen+Law+w...
Bell Lax Solicitors: This can be very confusing, but 9 times out of 10 the firm is well within it's rights to use the word. So within the firm there will be a solicitor expert in Family Law, one expert in Personal Injury, one expert in Criminal Law, and so on. That's usually how a firm with a w...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: So there is definitely experience within the firm , and even better as he seems to have focused on a single area of law rather than trying to be a 'jack of all trades' solicitor. The firm does come up top for common variant searches such as 'jps and walker solicitors' or 'j...
The Legal Practice Ltd:
This is because most people buying selling a house will always feel that the process should have gone much, much faster and been far, far less complicated. So again, the fact TLP have such a high rating despite handling property matters is not something to just brush a...
Youngs Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Our main office is in Longton. It may seem odd for a legal practice to claim they are 'specialists' when they list a wide range of case types handled at the firm. Second, would be when the solicitors at the firm try to handle all the case types - (the...
Lefevres Law: But if your case wins the solicitor you hire may take a cut of your settlement.
The only reason this might cause concern to some people is because of the huge number of law firms still making ancient founding date claims such as 'established in 1881'.
For example...
David Stinson & Co: At the moment most scams https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" target clients engaged in a house sale< a>. The only exception to this would really be a medical negligence case against the NH...
Cooks Solicitors: Then their client goes on the web to complain about it. They are certainly meaningless, but also often completely tenuous too.
class="infoquote "Dianne Sumner has over twenty-five years' experience of helping people move house. Newcastle RTB team where [sic] a nightma...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: Also be aware that ampersands cannot be in web addresses so there will never be a www.swain&co.com .co.uk address.
For a start there are hardly any law firms left willing to work under Legal Aid. QualitySolicitors). They have their own https: find-and-update.company...
My Law Matters: In fact, that's something we always recommend when it comes to law firms. Because quite often a low star rating is not due to ratings from genuine customer reviews like you'd expect. The client then handed tens of thousands of pounds over to the fraudster without bothering t...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: The official name of the firm is Frazer Coogans Ltd but the usual variations such as 'frazer coogan's solicitors', 'fraser coogans ltd', 'frazer coogans ayr', etc. Therefore any firm offering to help under Legal Aid gets a huge stack of brownie points from us. That's thous...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: The QS site is https secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms.
. Like those Law Society logos you see stamped across many solicitor websites. Burton and Co LLP https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 466124 burton-co-llp" are registered with< ...
OneLaw Chambers: There have been a lot of negative moves by the government over the past two decades that have impacted the ability for regular people to obtain justice. That may sound like a large number of firms to be in a 'best of' list. For each firm it provides user-side data including ...
Beers LLP: Very positive with many of them quoting and praising the staff member involved by name.
The Law Society database also lets you see if a firm really does 'specialise' in your case type. That is not the case. It's true the majority of firms we write about are going to ...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: In fact, solicitors themselves https: www.legalfutures.co.uk latest-news solicitor-sanctioned-for-dealing-with-unregulated-cmcs" can be fined and even stricken off< a> for dealing with unregulated claims management companies. To get that kitchen working. The main aim (we ...
Simper Law Ltd: Especially the review we saw where a person looking to divorce was mad at a criminal law firm for refusing to help.
At first glance Simper Law looks like a regular high street style setup with standard offices and several staff.
However, we recommend always read...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Normally this is done by simply emailing the client stating the bank details for payment have changed. Conditional fee still means that if your case loses you pay nothing , but if your case wins your solicitor may receive a percentage of the compensation. In fact the review...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: We've been told it's an attempt to appear 'more human' - which we've no idea what that means. The main resource people check out for this is the public review boards such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, Trustpilot, Yell.com and so on. It has not kept up with the rise in regular i...
Taylor Price Solicitors: For example, if you saw a negative review for Burger King saying 'they wouldn't sell me a pizza!' - you'd think the reviewer was nuts and ignore it. You may think it's standard for all solicitors to provide free initial chats. One that they seem to be offering face to face ...
Michael Leighton Jones:
A quick note on navigation as the name of the firm is quite long. The majority are positive and most related to property matters. This tells you what each solicitor works on. So hopefully in this article we'll be able to point out some differences you can look for b...
Milners Solicitors: After more than a week of reviewing specialist firms, we're getting back to a more regular general practice setup with Milners Solicitors. Multiple offices, a wide case range, and various solicitors working on their own specialist case subjects. Be aware however that legal ...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: Why people fall for that, we don't really know. They provide alternative trading names for each legal practice, case types handled, other office locations, languages spoken, and most usefully - the qualification dates of each solicitor registered with them.
Most of the ...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP:
So when we see a firm claiming to have a history going back to the 1561 - so long ago there was an entry in the Guinness Book of Records about it - we were sceptical, but very interested. The legal industry seems to be treated quite differently to others. But we've se...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: Whilst we normally haven't used the firms we write about to handle a case for us (obviously, as we review hundreds of law firms) we will have at least interacted and or worked with some of the staff. That might be the reason only 8% of you voted in our poll last year saying ...
CEL Solicitors: But no-one's perfect. That's something we see a lot of when firms claim to be 'award-winning' too and it makes us suspicious. The firm has https: celsolicitors.co.uk case-studies " a dedicated page< a> showcasing a range of various case type examples. We therefore searche...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Just https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=fulton&Postcode=&type=firm" some search results< a>
class="infoquote "We have been helping our clients from our base in the south side of Glasgow for many years."< div>
That's a line quoted from the Fulton's...
HooperHyde: As stated above though, for legal services that should not be taken as a negative sign. Hooper Hyde state each lawyer has at least 10 years' experience. On hand ready to help you with your business needs."< div>
The majority of firms will make a statement like this one ...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: It takes all sorts I guess.
class="infoquote "We specialise in acting for tenants where their landlord has failed to repair their property or protecting deposits as the law requires."< div>
Normally when that's the case (just like the medical negligence firm we r...
Fair Result Ltd: We try to provide information, reviews, and comparisons across not just a range of solicitors - but across a range of alternative options too. When we searched for 'fair result', 'fair result divorce' and 'fair result leicester' we got back mostly news stories about random h...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd:
If a solicitor doesn't have a profile on their website. However, this can sometimes make it much easier to spot something that really does stand out . As you can see from the snippets above, they're largely quite positive . Dylan Nair state being able to communicate ...
