Branch Austin McCormick LLP: When it comes to law firms it is always a good idea to read the actual comments anyway rather than just flick through the ratings. well ... class="infoquote "We get to know you and take the time to understand your unique needs"< div> That brings us back to t...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd: For example, if you've just been through a messy divorce, sued your employer, or declared bankruptcy - your first thought isn't going to be about sharing it with the world. The firm we're writing about today, Trojan Solicitors, first stood out to us as being an Immigration...
CEL Solicitors: Certainly CEL Solicitors have a wide range of positive reviews : class="infoquote "they really did carry out what they intended to and I am very happing with what was achieved" "Now have a date for the repairs to be done and a nice little bit of compensation as a...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: For all we know they called Fultons about a divorce case and was refused representation. So from that it looks like we have two firms with clear experience and establishment in the area coming together which naturally sounds very promising. Even though it wasn't the law fi...
HooperHyde: Certainly the language across the rest of the company's website also focuses on that mentality of long-term business relationships. We currently showcase the regular high-street-style solicitors people have come to expect, as well as some alternative services that act as an ...
Antony Hodari Solicitors: One we saw last week was particularly odd because the complaint was about a criminal law firm that refused to handle a 'simple injury claim!'. Housing disrepair on the other hand are cases we've always understood to require considerable work for the amount of pay off for t...
Fair Result Ltd:
The legal industry is awash with firms boasting 200+ year old histories. Again that sounds like it means something but if that firm's office has a bright pink upward sliding door painted with purple Spongebob characters - that would technically count as them providing a...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: But it's really not a negative sign if a law firm you're looking up has few or even zero online comments about them. The main points people most want to see are typically a photo, case specialties, and relevant work history. There's also a good mix of fluent languages spoken...
Mckie Legal: The use of trading names is not something to worry about . If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll usually see a statement like this one. Mckie Legal is named after the firm's director Andrew Ian McKie. The first means no fees if your case loses. Not vice versa. Henc...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: So seeing such a huge amount of highly positive reviews about a Conveyancer is almost the stuff of Twilight Zones.. www.jacobs-law.co.uk (for Jacobs & Co Solicitors) shows up high in the search results and has a similar domain.
So for Jacobs to be unafraid in posting s...
Argue & Co Legal:
You will find it more likely for an actual solicitor to answer the phone and talk to you at a smaller firm which clients tend to feel better about . Then there will be a fifty year established divorce specialists with less reviews than I have fingers. the person they s...
Springle & Co Solicitors: Ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional is important too. The first port of call we usually recommend to help start telling them apart is The Law Society in your area. Law firms typically receive less reviews than other services such as r...
BLZ Solicitors: If you want to check up on the size of a firm (if size matters to you) The Law Society website in your area will typically be able to provide that information. Whilst most of us may assume it's a sign the firm has an online client area to check up on your case 24 7 - it coul...
Hawkridge & Company: Because nine times out of ten the firm will state they are such without providing any noticeable explanation or links to information about what exactly the award was for. It could have been for logo design, which really doesn't help in estimating the quality of their legal s...
Pacific Law:
Either way should really make no difference to your choice though. Any possible errors such as 'pacific solicitors' or 'pacific legal' may bring up different results in the search engines. We've seen one law firm get a stunning review that ended with the phrase 'best...
ABS Lawyers Ltd: That doesn't mean we're just another directory with hundreds of high street firms competing for space on our pages. Second the firm can state they have been 'providing legal services for over twenty years'. If the firm you're researching is signed up to them - wonderful. So ...
Stenfield Solicitors: However you will need to enter one of the office locations such as 'norwich' or 'london' to get the popup box with all the specific reviews, opening hours, etc. There are dozens including those at the national, county and city level. A real mix of ages, genders, experience...
Khan Law: Read the actual comments. Even the individual bits about solicitors at a firm only pop up as comment boxes (and not very well on mobile devices).
For us, a specialist focuses on an area of law in order to build up a huge amount of expertise and experience whilst consta...
DV Solicitors: The official website we link to above is www.dvsolicitors.com and at the time of writing www.dvsolicitors.co.uk also redirects you there.

Richmond Legal Ltd: The main one for English Welsh legal professionals is The Law Society of England & Wales and it is simply an excellent resource for people to use. It's pretty bleak though and only getting worse. Whilst it's something we see alot of with Criminal Law firms, it's less notic...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: Clearly some mix up with company names in the area. But even with the potential search issues and other opportunities for scammers to fake official appearances - it's not too much of a concern because the majority of fraudsters are https: www.ucl.ac.uk students news 2020 d...
Bilkus & Boyle: (Yes, it's that comparable.) So a firm still willing to work with people who can't afford a solicitor otherwise and therefore accept the much, much lower pay Legal Aid gives solicitors - is a very positive brownie point in their favour . For example, here is the opening mes...
Catteralls Solicitors: But the reason we point out how easy it is to get mixed up is because this firm deal with Property Conveyancing matters https: www.lawgazette.co.uk news police-warn-solicitors-about-phishing-scam 5106839.article" which have been the increasing target of scammers for years...
Penerley Lawyers: The official site we link to above is www.penerley.co.uk and www.penerley.com redirects you there as well.
The quote above is from the website of a Commercial Law specialist called Penerley , based in Islington. By that we mean some don't even have a single solicitor ...
The Search Bureau:
They've partnered with some of the leading industry firms such as Landmark Information Group who ensure conveyancers meet their regulatory requirements.
We think it's fair to say though that after 12+ years of them being in business, with the relationships they h...
Education Law Service Ltd: and in phone contact throughout"< div>
If you typically like a bit more before parting with any cash though, luckily there is a growing trend amongst legal practices to offer free consultations. The official website we link to above is www.educationlawservice.com and ...
Pump Court Chambers: Having worked in that environment, this often caused friction.
A quick note on navigation as there are many chambers using 'pump court' in their name. This always seemed un-necessary extra time and cost for clients.
The Pump Court Chambers site is https secure ...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: The courts should be trying to repair the damage done.
There were obviously a few niggles in our research.
The reason we point out common errors is because of how easy it is for people to think they are on the correct site or being emailed from an official address...
Lindsays Solicitors: Why people fall so easy for this we'll try and put together an article on later. They certainly have a page about https: www.lindsays.co.uk about-us sponsorship" things they sponsor< a> but the chosen sponsorships look very specific and highly unlikely to result in much p...
Aspire Licensing: a close relationship with all our local responsible authorities ensures any issues or representations received towards our applications can often be resolved through mediation and working in partnership with said responsible authorities."< div>
Usually we point people ...
OTS Solicitors Ltd: At the time of writing they had over 450+ reviews on Google which is quite unheard of for a law firm . Words such as 'leading', 'modern', 'expertise', and especially 'award-winning' are used so frequently as to probably have little impact on potential clients surfing for he...
Reid Black Solicitors:
Whilst not actually based in England Wales, Reid Black will inevitably deal with a lot of other law firms, insurers and businesses in that area. Never discuss bank details or payments via email.
We stand by our statement that if you see a firm that really only see...
Howe + Co Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We have specialists lawyers to match every level of work that you require, ranging from the senior partner, through to junior lawyers working under supervision."< div>
These sort of claims on the websites of legal practices are far easier to chec...
Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Reviews of law firms are therefore always going to be less than other industries. The website is https secure for entering your personal details in the contact form.
For any law office, a lack of public reviews should never be taken as a bad sign .
class="infoq...
Levins Solicitors: We're not too fond of people sharing their favourite colours or pet names. At a 1-year-old firm you could get a solicitor with over 40-years of experience under their belt.
class="infoquote "We were established in 1986 as Keith Levin & Co, initially in Huyton village....
Aconveyancing Ltd: Also, there is a huge issue of fake reviews where for every negative comment posted - suddenly several 5 star reviews (from people who have only ever reviewed that one firm) suddenly appear.
The official site we link to above is www.aconveyancing.com with www.aconveyanc...
The Injury Solicitor Ltd: We should briefly discuss this statement more generally though:
class="infoquote "All claims are handled on a No Win No Fee basis"< div>
Whilst the majority of law firms say this, there seems to be some confusion about what it actually means. Most are and new firm...
RD Costings: For some areas you may want a large firm with lots of resources. 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...
MGBe Legal: If you've visited a few dozen law firm websites already today you'll have seen most use the News or Blog sections to write a couple of lines about a common news article followed by twenty paragraphs of more sales pitches about why you should use their services. But if you ge...
McEwan Fraser Legal: For all you know, the awards this firm have won are 'best logo design' or 'nice employer'. Neither of which would impress you enough to use their actual services would it?
McEwan Fraser Legal on the other hand state very clearly underneath their Award-Winning claim wh...
Fieldfisher LLP:
We therefore think there may be some confusion with the firm's name when people are searching to leave reviews. But according to our poll last year, many members of the public also find them useful in helping judge the quality, experience and establishment of a firm wh...
APS Legal & Associates: Once you have the name of the law firm you can use the various resource we already recommend such as searching the relevant Law Society's website for background and qualification details. At the moment both www.apslegal.com and www.apslegal.co.uk don't seem to be owned by th...
Linkilaw Solicitors:
The site is https so should be secure for entering your personal information into their contact forms. We might even have to disagree with them on the strength of that assessment as we have seen some very positive moves by even the stuffiest of established firms in rece...
NV Legal Ltd: For example, a firm with five solicitors each with only two years of experience under their belts might state 'we have over a decade of combined experience'. The website is https secure for entering your details on the contact form. Considering the wide range of case types w...
Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: At 1to1Legal we're very picky about the firms we review, bring on to our network, and then recommend to people. Sadly the number of people https: conversation.which.co.uk money scam-watch-property-housing-deposit-bank-transfer " falling for bank deposit scams< a> when buy...
DFA Law LLP: The www.dfalaw.com site is for a completely different law firm and several other possible variants people might accidentally try like www.dfasolicitors.co.uk were not owned by anyone. You can always hang up and call them back on the phone number you know is definitely for th...
Ian Mallon Solicitors: Over the past few years having staff profiles on the company website has become more common. We're sure the firm's extra step of translating the site to cater for that has not gone unappreciated. You can https: www.lawsoc-ni.org ian-mallon-solicitors-ltd510" view their pa...
