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: One thing to watch for is the wording. So since the owner of this firm states a solicitor background, we looked him up on the local Law Society website. There have also been many changes to the types of solutions people can have beyond 'solicitors'. But they are not a ...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP: Being the names of founder partners, the name is quite unique despite 'branch' being a generic term related to people searching for office locations. For example they https: branchaustin.com meet-the-team " have staff profiles< a> that provide a photo, contact information...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: The firm we're writing about today, Trojan Solicitors, first stood out to us as being an Immigration specialist. For some reason, whilst 'new' companies in other industries such as fashion, food, or technology are sought after - the legal industry is one where people expec...


CEL Solicitors: Again, no firm is going to claim to be the alternative of any of those. For all we knew, by claiming to be 'featured' in these publications the firm could simply have purchased ad space in all of them. class="infoquote "We operate 99% paper free, unless the court or ...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: Add to that the apostrophe and letter s on the end being dropped, or Fultons being pluralised instead - and you'll soon agree that there are a lot of possible browser typos. So what about the staff at Fulton's Estate Agents themselves? Well according to the site's About Us p...

HooperHyde: Sometimes you don't need a solicitor. class="infoquote "worked tirelessly for me to win my case and I am extremely grateful" "really understands business risks" "has represented us in many cases including debt recovery, mediation, and litigation"< div> T...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: If we do discover it, we'll let you know. That's because law firms are one of the few service providers where the losing side often comes online to criticise the firm that beat them. To us that's a bit of a cheat. It certainly does help to have someone very interested in y...


Fair Result Ltd: One last excerpt from the firm's site that stood out to us: class="infoquote "Our workloads are managed to ensure we never have more than six live cases. Typically it's only cases such as litigation where firms may do considerable work upfront with an aim to getti...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: That's not something we are so keen on. Don't ever discuss payments or bank details via email is therefore one good rule to keep to.. If a solicitor doesn't have a profile on their website. That's a decent offer by comparison. The official site we link to above is www....


Mckie Legal: That may sound like a very odd reason. But whether a solicitor charges a success fee or not shouldn't be the end-all of your decision to use them. We couldn't find any public reviews on McKie Legal at the time of writing this. class="infoquote "Mckie Legal i...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: Entering the full firm name plus location is usually necessary to make sure you see comments about the correct company online. In this instance that's "Jacobs Law Solicitors Birmingham". Which also means having worked with thousands of professionals within that industry du...


Argue & Co Legal: We've seen the most absurd negative reviews against solicitors. It depends greatly on the case type. class="infoquote "When we can, we operate a no-win-no-fee funding option for our clients."< div> We would expect every solicitor doing injury litigation matters ...


Springle & Co Solicitors:
At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without leaving a will . Either national or local. class="infoquote "The law is complex but we explain everything in plain English."< div> Life is complicated and so is death unfortunately. We don'...

BLZ Solicitors: A last sales-pitchy statement from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We are a friendly, approachable and professional firm that provides quality legal representation to those that need it."< div> Don't be too hard on firms when you see the exact same language use...


Hawkridge & Company: Because we spotted a few negative comments that were followed by Hawkridge & Co stating that person was not a client of theirs. A good range of seasoned experience alongside fresh blood and hopefully new ideas. But when anything goes wrong, they get the blame. Hawk...


Pacific Law: Versus the other side proclaiming their distate for all things stuffy and blasting a thesaurus-worth of synonyms of the word 'modern' across their sales pages. class="infoquote "We listen ... At the moment www.pacificlaw.com is owned by a firm in the US. But sadly th...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: There are also many things between the lines that the regular consumer might not notice - but we do. Or two solicitors with 40 years' experience and one with 5. We try to provide a good selection of potential service providers to people coming through our site looking for le...


Stenfield Solicitors: Luckily Stenfield are members of The Law Society of England & Wales which is simply an excellent resource for consumer-side information. Any mentions of 'Stenfield Limited' relate to the same company. There are dozens including those at the national, county and city level....


Khan Law: We received a negative review last year accusing us of 'feeding the corrupt capitalist machine'. We wouldn't class that as 'specialist'. That's because we've seen law firms with five star reviews for their dog-friendly restaurant and others being criticised for simply being ...


DV Solicitors: For motor offence court cases you may be better off with a Direct Access barrister. 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. But those are all very positive too . Not every case...


Richmond Legal Ltd: The legal industry is quite different from others when it comes to public reviews. To use a description any less than 'expert' would clearly be unwise. Don't expect this to change very quickly though. The firm's website is https secure for entering your personal...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: Another thing that should be mentioned though is the level of alternate and individual services Trust Inheritance Ltd provide from their site. For example Gillian Grinyer having qualified in 1980, Ekta Porter qualifying in 2010, right up to incredibly newbie Abraam Azir qual...


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 . The number of scams relating to conv...


Catteralls Solicitors: That's surely a very good sign. A last word from Catterall's own site: class="infoquote "We always put our clients first. 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...


Penerley Lawyers: Their site is https secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. To check whether someone is a qualified solicitor or that a firm has one on staff, you can always use your local law society website. The official site we link to above is ww...


The Search Bureau: 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 work< a>). Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. Whilst the majority of articles we write...


Education Law Service Ltd: However there are some areas of law where the number of options simply aren't there. In the past this usually only applied to cases that would be run on a no win, no fee basis anyway such as Personal Injury matters. Another statement on their front page that stands out ...


Pump Court Chambers: not the very nice helpful receptionist at the start of your enquiry or the senior clerk that got everything organised. She really made me feel at ease" "Matthew was on hand at all times and took me through each step of the process" "Very impressed with the service ...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: This can be compared to a Will and how it is worded and the way the finances are passed on in order to ensure your family receive it rather than the bulk going to the goverment. The situation was at least slightly covered in https: www.dailymail.co.uk news article-3784457 ...


Lindsays Solicitors: People who take your details and sell them on to actual firms to do the work. The English Welsh law society's site provides a wide range of details on each firm such as alternate contact details, trading names, qualified solicitors at the firm, and even their qualification...


Aspire Licensing: In fact, an experienced accountant could cost much less yet be far more effective . Whilst we often discuss the pros and cons of using specialists, we usually are talking about firms that handle Business Law compared to a firm that tries to handle absolutely everything from...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: For some reason we can't quite fathom, the buyers sellers don't question this and simply hand all their house deposits over to the fraudsters. We check the usual spots most people visit such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com and Yelp. A mix of well experienced staff alongside ...


Reid Black Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are here to look after you"< div> Again, most law firms will state on their site that their customer service is exceptional and that the client is the centre of all they do. The majority are all like this and very positive. Some of which have...


Howe + Co Solicitors: But certainly Howe & Co are well-known with several high profile news articles quoting them including https: www.theguardian.com uk-news 2019 nov 06 i-failed-archbishop-agrees-he-shut-out-victim-hears-inquiry" this one about their defence< a> of abuse victims and https...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: So do the third party independent review boards match? class="infoquote "The efforts he puts in the case and the dedications were out of this world" "Robin provided excellent & efficient service, and helped to achieve the desired result" "Robin worked tirel...


Levins Solicitors: But the solicitor will always get the blame. lawyers from Levins Solicitors have told LBC they believe the police's actions over the weekend amount to 'oppressive conduct' and 'may be unlawful, particularly the entries and searches'."< div> A quick note on navigation as...


Aconveyancing Ltd: A quick note on navigation as the firm's branding includes the generic "conveyancing" wording from the industry they're targeting. The majority are positive comments, and by some considerable margin too. These can save you quite a lot of money by simply processing th...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: No win, no fee just means that if you lose there will be no fees. But several things stood out to us which we thought we would share. class="infoquote "The Injury Solicitor is a niche law firm specialising in recovering compensation for our clients who have been in...


RD Costings: There is a big difference between a firm that says "no win, no fee" and "100% compensation guaranteed" . They are not the same thing. There may still be fees if your case wins. (Both genuine things we've seen.) Again, it's a small thing but indicates the type of busines...


MGBe Legal: As mentioned, some bits of information we've gleaned from the web came through using the actual solicitor's name. Thankfully MGBe Legal is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which offers a wealth of information user-side. If you check out https: solici...


McEwan Fraser Legal: For all you know, the awards this firm have won are 'best logo design' or 'nice employer'. But you'd be wrong. But considering they cover pratically everything else we really like a firm to do: transparency over claims such as awards, out of hours services, proper sta...


Fieldfisher LLP: For some, just seeing the "more than 30 years" will help. So on this occasion we would suggest ignoring any comments (positive or negative) that don't come with accompanying comments that clearly appear to be about reviewing a law firm. If you've used our site before to find...


APS Legal & Associates: Unlike a single fixed firm with maybe a dozen employees, it's much harder to use testimonials or independent reviews when judging the merits of a nationwide collective of consultants. Either they are unbelievably niche in their target market, have achieved impressive growth ...


Linkilaw Solicitors: But law firms are starting to realise that telling people they've been established for over 150 years no longer impresses. The site is https so should be secure for entering your personal information into their contact forms. We've worked with and written about this fir...


NV Legal Ltd: So reading both the lines themselves and the stuff inbetween, you can be pretty confident that such would not be the case with NV Legal. Last year we worked heavily with rehabilitation specialists trying to get more law firms to consult with such experts on a more regul...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 594908 simons-rodkin-solicitors-llp?Solicitors=True" check out the page for this firm< a> for example, you'll be shown a wealth of information including alternative contact details, lists of all their off...


DFA Law LLP: DFA Law are with The Law Society of England & Wales and if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 466115 dfa-law-llp" check the page about them< a> on the organisation's website - you'll be provided with quite a bit of information. and they were all much like thes...
