Our parent firm has written hundreds of editorial review pieces on law firms around the UK including general practice offices, specialists and non-law firm solutions. You can read about them here:

KRS Estate Planning Ltd: These options are obviously incredibly cheap compared to using a full on law firm. 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 solicito...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: No, really. Branch Austin McCormick has a wide range of experience amongst their staff with solicitors who started their careers in all five of the last decades. Another is for fraudsters to send out emails pretending to be their solicitor and stating that the bank deta...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: Rhod Gilbert's https: www.youtube.com watch?v=drKC3Zd3SqM" award winning mince pie rant< a> very much relates to how we feel on the subject. There is a firm called 'trojan law ltd' also based in London, however we saw no apparent website for them to confuse matters. they ...


CEL Solicitors: < p> . So, claim absolutely verified. We therefore searched the various publications to check up on their claim. Especially firms in the property market where online scams are rampant.

General Notes: Usually if Legal Aid is possible we've mentioned it above, but...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Many commenters provide helpful insights into what was good about the company such as feeling kept up to date or about friendly staff. So if you see reviews relating to such, it's not an error by the reviewer. Just https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=fulton&P...

HooperHyde: The practice of having different brandings for various offices or case types within a firm became even more popular just over a decade ago due to some (both poorly conceived and poorly executed) changes in advertising guidelines amongst solicitors. There are many...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: We've been working in the industry for over 20 years and whilst we've seen firms specialising in divorce or car insurance claims - that's usually because those types of cases can be very profitable. It certainly does help to have someone very interested in your specific ca...


Fair Result Ltd: Clients receive emails stating that the bank details for their deposit have changed and they apparently go ahead and send tens of thousands of pounds to those bank accounts without even checking with their solicitor first. You could get a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 20...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: That's not something we are so keen on. That's a decent offer by comparison. Nor do any of the hyphentated variants (dylan-nair) or typical typos (dylanair). No win, no fee just means that there will be no fees if your case loses. So when Dylan Nair make a public statement o...


Mckie Legal: It's very common even for firms with decades of history to have less than a handful of online reviews about them. Please note though that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two totally separate offers. You never know what fraudsters will think of next though so a...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: That way when you see statements about a firm having decades of experience - you can make sure that's not just one person at the firm hogging it all. It's not as though any would say the opposite either. That's because "established in 2013" can sound ridiculously new to some...


Argue & Co Legal: But not exactly what most people expect when calling. So when you see firms offering such on their website, don't just flick over it like it's nothing . The Scottish site has https: www.lawscot.org.uk news-and-events legal-news allan-argue-launches-his-own-practice " sev...


Springle & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "The law is complex but we explain everything in plain English."< div> Life is complicated and so is death unfortunately. Ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional is important too. We don't push any one estate p...

BLZ Solicitors: Not their secretary or junior staff who joined the firm yesterday. If you look at the page for https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 6833 blz-limited" this firm< a> you'll see there are only two solicitors working within it, with just over a decade's experience betwe...


Hawkridge & Company: The official website we link to above is www.hawklaw.co.uk with www.hawklaw.com being about some WWII land renovation project. Hawkridge & Co on the other hand have big clear logos at the bottom of their page showing Lexcel Accreditation, the Society of Trust & Esta...


Pacific Law: Being able to communicate through Whatsapp or other text services has been seen. But these days we would say that if the firm can't offer video-chat services they are now getting behind the times. It's the brand that's been around for centuries - not the people. However the ...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: You can easily end up with a 1-year qualified lawyer from a 200-year old firm. We have over twenty years' experience flicking through law firm websites. However you should notice the 'translated' note next to those. Indeed the majority of comments we read were written very s...


Stenfield Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 597818 stenfield-limited" check out the page< a> for any firm on their site you'll be shown any alternative trading names, the various office locations available, staff details, what case types they specialis...


Khan Law: class="infoquote "Raees was awarded the 'Rising Star in Law Award' at the prestigious Scottish Asian Business Awards"< div> As mentioned before, the number of firms claiming to be award-winning is huge. That's because we've seen law firms with five star reviews ...


DV Solicitors: Far better than most others we've used. They prefer to source reviews from independent review forums such as Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Yell, Yelp, etc. It's a useful tip to pay a visit to any firm's local law society whether national, county, or city level. With so many Pa...


Richmond Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "We can offer fixed fees if you are not eligible for legal aid"< div> This is another statement that might look perfectly normal to most people but really stands out to us. Of course, you should never discuss payments or bank details via email ....


Trust Inheritance Ltd: Related domains such as www.trustinheritanceltd.com or the .co.uk do not currently exist. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on giving the best support service available and are dedicated to delivering the right solution for you."< div> Experience and expertise ...


Bilkus & Boyle: So when we say B&B have a very positive rating, that's actually quite an accomplishment for a firm dealing with property matters. Never discuss payment or bank details via email. This is important because the firm deals with property matters. You can then click th...


Catteralls Solicitors: class="infoquote "Catteralls Solicitors have been based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire for over 100 years."< div> Sadly many law firms use more marketing jargon on their websites rather than clear information about what makes them different. We're not a fan of is t...


Penerley Lawyers: 'Less-stuffy' is a phrase we're seeing pop up more and more in newer firm's sales pitches about their services. You don't actually have to be a qualified solicitor to sell someone some employee contract templates or provide advice on setting up your small business. Whilst p...


The Search Bureau: All other variants we tried such as www.searchbureau.com and www.thesearchbureau.com were owned by different firms. That's not the sole basis for us promoting The Search Bureau across our network (check the https: www.searchbureau.co.uk community" page on their charity wo...


Education Law Service Ltd: But why do we even need such lawyers? Surely there are organisations, laws, and procedures already in place to look after children in a country like ours? class="infoquote "In our experience, some Local Authorities appear to have a default policy of refusing assessment...


Pump Court Chambers: Again, though, a little thing like this impresses us because so many law firms don't bother spending the extra £5 to buy related domains to help protect their clients from easy fraud (which we'll cover in a second). A quick note on navigation as there are many chambe...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: However with Mason Bullock Solicitors we were actually very eager to get them on to the network from the start. There were obviously a few niggles in our research. The most obvious mistake people might make because it's a law firm is to try searching for 'Mason &...


Lindsays Solicitors: consistently exceeds everything I ask of him"< div> The majority of reviews were very positive indeed. The firm uses the singular name of 'Lindsays' (not Lindsay's) in all it's branding and it's official website is www.lindsays.co.uk as linked to above. Considering the ...


Aspire Licensing: The same is sometimes true of debt matters. Other benefits of working in such a specific section of law include building up a huge amount connections and expertise with the various organisations themselves around the country. For example you don't always need a lawyer...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: We did so and there were dozens including an article where they https: www.lexology.com library detail.aspx?g=26e9e58d-0c20-4624-959e-a0a5ab25cf5b" offered advice regarding international adoptions< a> and one where the increasingly concerning issue of

Reid Black Solicitors: We did see one negative comment about Reid Black apparently being more expensive than other firms the reviewer had tried. The Law Society of England & Wales also have a much better website than most Law Societies, with a wealth of user-side information. Millions of pounds...


Howe + Co Solicitors: One thing you rarely see in relation to UK law firms is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to them. The snippets above were from the usual third party boards such as Google, Yell.com, Yelp and Trustpilot. You can even see qualification dates of the lawyers working...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: A last word from Robin's site: class="infoquote "I am at my best at times when clients are facing crisis or radical change where they benefit from my strategic and analytical focus and calm approach."< div>. class="infoquote "Most of Robin’s clients instruct him...


Levins Solicitors: But the solicitor will always get the blame. There may therefore be some confusion amongst the Google reviews because most of the negative comments we saw were followed by comments from the firm stating they have 'no record' of that person being an actual client. But they ...


Aconveyancing Ltd: None of that seemed to apply to Aconveyancing's reviews. In Scotland, you'll see far less negative comments of that type due to the different laws preventing the majority of gazumping. Such as when looking up news articles they had been quoted in. Especially in Engla...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: It's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site if you might be coming back to it. This is quite justifiable in some circumstances such as for difficult cases including medical negligence, uninsured drivers, criminal injury claims and so on. We always ensure th...


RD Costings: There is a big difference between a firm that says "no win, no fee" and "100% compensation guaranteed" . (Your solicitor needs to get paid, right?) However your solicitor will typically already be recovering their fees and expenses from the third party. The fact RD...


MGBe Legal: Most mentioned the depth of knowledge. From the very (sometimes unfathomably) niche boutiques, to large international firms. But if you get someone not on the ball for your criminal defence or immigration - your whole life is affected. It's just that whilst people are quite...


McEwan Fraser Legal: class="infoquote "Use our Instant Property Valuation Tool to get an instant, online estimate of what your property in 39 seconds!"< div> It sounds good, and it works as described. It may surprise you therefore to see us recommending and writing about McEwan...


Fieldfisher LLP: Whether they are unbelievably niche in their target area of law or excel in a certain aspect such as customer service , we find the types of firms you often might not find on your own. If you've used our site before to find legal help in your area, or if you've simply read ...


APS Legal & Associates: So how as a front end website browsing consumer can you tell which claims are potentially true? If the will writing service you're looking at is run by or at least backed by a law firm, then they will absolutely state this. They should have the APS Legal logo on their...


Linkilaw Solicitors: Even though Linkilaw's new branding isn't a huge departure from the last, it does mean there could be cross over for a time as review sites update who they're exactly talking about. There are quite a few such standout phrases across the site, including: class="i...


NV Legal Ltd: But these are all under the same umbrella term of 'Litigation'. 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation'. The law firm then pursues the third party, or more often their insurer, for compensation. Certainly that last comment is very impressive. There are also Blog News...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: class="infoquote "Your problems are our business. Naturally, the ones listed there are all incredibly positive and lengthy in their praise. How do you know which is best for you? How do you even know what to research in the first place? Obviously it's not possi...


DFA Law LLP: There is a lot to find between-the-lines in the wording firms use on their website too. So be careful, and we even recommend never giving bank details to someone that rings you. Obviously we were impressed enough with this firm to add them to our network: class="info...
