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:

Branch Austin McCormick LLP: However according to our poll last year, only 8% of you trust the testimonials that companies display anyway. We've even seen negative comments from the losing side in a court matter. What we don't like is when solicitors go too far and start listing their favourite foods an...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: There have been several other good advancements in the industry such as no win, no fee agreements. Concerns about related domain names and online searches are really only urgent when it comes to property matters for the moment. However you'll also see they handle ...


CEL Solicitors: So to see CEL stating something that turned out to be both true AND not jargon-twisted - is a much bigger deal for us than you might think! class="infoquote "Our services include: data breach claims, fraud claims, housing disrepair claims, Japanese knotweed claims, la...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: class="infoquote "With our estate agency and property conveyancing teams under one roof, we offer a seamless transition from initial valuation and marketing through negotiation and conclusion of the contract to the conveyancing and settlement of the sale or purchase."...


HooperHyde: A quick note on navigation. Sadly, some businesses use marketing jargon to try and cover up when they don't have a good deal of experience. class="infoquote "Ultimately, we want you to be fully satisfied with the service we provide and if you're not, we want to ...

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. You might also see claims such as 'combined experience of X years' which sim...


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. class="infoquote "Within 2 weeks of appointment – we will assess the 'Marital Pot' and share the results of our work with you....


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: A good mix of seasoned pros and fresh blood within any company must surely be a good thing. It may be a sad side-effect of the Facebook Instagram age we live in but many people do make decisions about whether to use a solicitor or not much easier if there is a photo. Worki...


Mckie Legal: We cover the reasons why solicitors do this in our article Jacobs Law Solicitors: There are things we absolutely would consider make a firm "modern" and having an online booking form like Jacobs Law do is certainly one of them. A different firm we reviewed yesterday had several online complaints about spending most of their time talking to their solicit...


Argue & Co Legal: This splinter naming isn't nearly as prolific amongst other areas of law such as divorce or crime. If this were a Family Fortunes game, the top answer as to why someone chose a firm would be ethusiasm. So how do you judge such things? Sadly in Scotland the Law Society does n...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Either national or local. Always keep aware of what site you're on and who you're chatting with - either by email or phone. On top of that, families are much further away from the stereotypical husband wife 2.6 children arrangement of old. class="infoquote "The law is ...


BLZ Solicitors: One tip though is to make sure the free consultation is with a qualified professional. We like to make sure we have a selection of types of help here on the 1to1Legal site. So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fine. That's some...

Hawkridge & Company: Sometimes over something as simple as a couple of offical looking emails telling them to pay their huge house deposit into a different bank account. But when anything goes wrong, they get the blame. This is important to note because in any property transaction there is usual...


Pacific Law: It's the brand that's been around for centuries - not the people. This is because whilst people are very happy to jump online and give praise about their new toaster - they are less likely to rush to a public forum to discuss how their recent divorce, will writing, criminal ...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: They are one of the few firms we've seen with a https: abslawyers.co.uk pl home-polski " full Polish section< a> on their website. Out of these snippets above the last one may sound a little confusing. That means they've added up the experience years of everyone with...


Stenfield Solicitors: Of course even in these days of 'modern' legal setups offering online case tracking and many matters being resolved without the client even actually meeting with their solicitor face to face - there are still a huge number of people that prefer the idea of a larger fi...


Khan Law: class="infoquote "Specialist Personal Injury Solicitors"< div> 'Specialist' is another word that seems to be used a lot. We received a negative review last year accusing us of 'feeding the corrupt capitalist machine'. We can

DV Solicitors: You may get a one year qualified solicitor from a 200 year old firm. They have a range of articles clearly meant to help out people with the basics. One last snippet from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We are here to offer all the expertise and support you will nee...


Richmond Legal Ltd: A last word from the company's site: class="infoquote "Our litigation team has the wealth of experience in dealing with all types of litigation matters, whether these are civil or commercial"< div>. At the time of writing there were actually no reviews available on the...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. They can certainly help. Obviously we sound very pro-this-company and this could come across as bias. You can turn to the third party review forums. They also offer a fully on...


Bilkus & Boyle: Sadly so many firms use terms such as 'modern', 'friendly', 'established', etc. The number of scams relating to conveyancing and property in general have been increasing for years. The majority of large conveyancing specialists have ratings as low as 2 or 3 stars. ...


Catteralls Solicitors: The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. They stated as such on their about us page. These are random snippets across a wide range of reviewers, most of who...


Penerley Lawyers: But so far we've not seen anything too extreme such as beanbag chairs in the conference room. Even helping you register as a limited company is not the sole discretion of lawyers. As mentioned before many law firms are stuck in the past and the 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri is still the ...


The Search Bureau: There are some testimonials printed on the firm's website of course: class="infoquote "Very prompt and efficient service especially when we had been let down elsewhere" "extremely fast and personable" "Excellent service at a much more competitive price than...


Education Law Service Ltd: But if you make sure to have the 'Ltd' part at the end of the name when searching, you should get the correct firm to pop up. You never know what scam will be next though so always make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments or bank details via emai...


Pump Court Chambers: It does however cause some thought to have to be given when researching things such as online reviews. This always seemed un-necessary extra time and cost for clients. The Pump Court Chambers site is https secure for submitting your personal details online with ...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: However with Mason Bullock Solicitors we were actually very eager to get them on to the network from the start. The reason we were so keen though, was simply from one opening line on their website: class="infoquote "When you want fast, convenient and savvy advic...


Lindsays Solicitors: People who take your details and sell them on to actual firms to do the work. The Law Society of England & Wales also https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 506346 lindsays" has a page on this firm< a>. consistently exceeds everything I ask of him"< div> Th...


Aspire Licensing: For example a Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering, Level 2 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace, Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work, and so on. Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. However even then there a...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: All following the same themes about friendliness and most relating to Immigration as well. We check the usual spots most people visit such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com and Yelp. Making it more of a group of specialists under one banner, rather than a law firm with a few s...


Reid Black Solicitors: Having started back in 1999, we obviously put more focus on building up a database of firms based on higher population areas first. But Reid Black state they will give you a free interview for 'any legal issue' which is a lot less common than you might think. It shou...


Howe + Co Solicitors: All that put together clearly makes them a very established firm and it's hard to deny them the use of the word 'leading' with all that in mind. There are hundreds of reports of people https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1176297 property-for-sale-scam-frau...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: class="infoquote "Most of Robin’s clients instruct him under the direct access or public access scheme which can provide benefits in terms of cost and time savings or you can instruct him through your solicitor."< div> The Bar Standards Council do have a https: ...


Levins Solicitors: So if there are dozens of positive reviews about a legal company and all the negative reviews are about conveyancing - it's something to keep in mind. There may therefore be some confusion amongst the Google reviews because most of the negative comments we saw were followed ...


Aconveyancing Ltd: class="infoquote "We’re transparent about timescales, keeping you updated if any complications arise. They cover a good range of matters including Right to Buy, New Builds, Shared Ownership, Help to Buy and Part Exchanges. Of course, there will be several other vari...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales have the most informative and useful user-side display we've seen though. There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting wisdom to the rest of the staff. No win, no fee and 100% compensation are two very different pro...


RD Costings: Then after you've had the initial interview, have gone all the way down to their office, and are ready to sign on the dotted line for them to proceed - that's when the small print comes out about them taking 25% of your compensation if they win. They don't promise you an ipa...


MGBe Legal: MGBe Legal specialise in the latter of those. Author of numerous articles on EEA law and trainer with ILPA and HJT."< div> Dual qualifications across two countries with 15+ years of experience and top accreditations including Level 3 with the OISC (Office of the Im...


McEwan Fraser Legal: class="infoquote "Scotland's Award-Winning Solicitors and Estate Agents"< div> You'll see a simply huge number of law firms state they are award winning. (Please search for Rhod Gilbert's rant on award winning mince pies to more understand how we feel about the ...


Fieldfisher LLP: For this firm to have individual offices within the UK that have remained focused on a relatively small target group and one that can bring just regular smaller (again, relatively) claimants alongside larger ones - is unusual. class="infoquote "We are one of the UK's...


APS Legal & Associates: No hard-sell, very professional."< div> However, each of these testimonials is often not tagged regarding which advisor they are talking about. class="infoquote "APS Legal & Associates and Assured Probate Services are subsidiaries of The SimplyBiz Group."< div> ...


Linkilaw Solicitors: There are quite a few such standout phrases across the site, including: class="infoquote "We embrace what the legal industry has traditionally resisted – transparency, efficiency, innovation and disruption."< div> Which is what we have tried to say before about t...


NV Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "With more than 20 years' experience, our solicitors are all personal injury experts with extensive experience."< div> Other important wording to watch for on any law firm's website are statements such as the above. NV Legal are with The Law Socie...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: So what about the public boards? class="infoquote "He advocated robustly on my behalf and did so with compassion and realism." "They were extremely professional, efficient and understood the time constraints I was under with my work commitments." "I'd been se...


DFA Law LLP: A really good mix of old, wiser heads running a firm that still has some young-blood eager to prove themselves. So be careful, and we even recommend never giving bank details to someone that rings you. DFA Law on the other hand has both a long establishment date and well-ex...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: class="infoquote "Everyone within our practice has a commitment to understand the needs of our clients and to structure our services to deal effectively with those needs."< div> Many law firms make statements about how wonderful their staff are and the huge amou...
