Branch Austin McCormick LLP: class="infoquote "We get to know you and take the time to understand your unique needs"< div> That brings us back to the original query at the start of this article about whether this firm has anything beyond just comments about having a long history. Firms that h...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. class="infoquote "Newly established but full of experience law firm fully focused on its clients."< div> First, this statement about the firm being new ...


CEL Solicitors:
It's always great to have options and many of those just mentioned could save considerable time and money over a regular 'high street' law office. Today we're covering the firm CEL Solicitors. But it's really, really not. We haven't looked in depth at their recrui...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: (10x3=30) So do pay attention to wording. That's because the majority of conveyancing firms have negative reviews. Hazel managed to keep my spirits up as well as using her knowledge, experience and "determination to see the purchase go through" "always available to answ...


HooperHyde: If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 12633 clp-group-limited" the page for Carbon Law Partners< a> (CLP) you'll see a list of trading names, offices, solicitors within the organisation, languages spoken, and even qualification dates of those solicitor...

Fair Result Ltd: Enquiring about and researching what avenues are available should be anyone's first point of call before actually starting to weigh up which firm out of those options to use. Typically we haven't used any of the services of the firms we write articles on. When we searc...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: That's a decent offer by comparison. The main points people most want to see are typically a photo, case specialties, and relevant work history. A good mix of seasoned pros and fresh blood within any company must surely be a good thing. Don't despair. That's not something ...


Mckie Legal: Mckie Legal is named after the firm's director Andrew Ian McKie. This is usually marked very clearly and carefully on each firm's website of course. For example https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conveyancing-scam-friday-afternoon-fraud-legal-sector-em...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: Sadly buying or selling a house in England Wales is fraught with risks delays and despite it often being completely out of the solicitor's hands - they will get blamed. But it's not. Entering the full firm name plus location is usually necessary to make sure you see commen...


Argue & Co Legal: On one hand they imagine a larger firm will have larger resources to draw on and bigger 'clout' against third parties . There are a few "& Co" firms we've covered before that use a www.argueand.co.uk style and please remember that you can't have ampersands in web addresses ...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Every client relationship matters to us."< div> Springle & Co is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales and if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 632150 springle-co-solicitors" check out the page< a> on any given firm you'll be shown their loc...


BLZ Solicitors: On https: blzsolicitors.co.uk meet-the-team " the BLZ staff page< a> it initially looks as though they are doing the same. So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fine. If you want to check up on the size of a firm (if size matters t...

Hawkridge & Company: Popular words these days which we've seen across huge numbers of legal professionals sites include 'modern', 'specialist', 'friendly', 'leading' and so on.

Stenfield Solicitors: class="infoquote "83% of new clients are recommended to us through word of mouth"< div> A quick note on navigation because although we link to the official site above as www.stenfield.com, there is a completely different firm using the www.stenfield.co.uk domain. ...


Khan Law: For us, a specialist focuses on an area of law in order to build up a huge amount of expertise and experience whilst constantly keeping up with the latest news and changes within that area of law. No win no fee only guarantees there are no costs if the case loses . So...


DV Solicitors: We've even had a negative review for contributing to the UK's 'capitalist regime'. For example they have solicitor Dorothy Turner with a qualifying date back in 1985. That's quite a feat for a firm that handles property matters because typically most people wish ...


Richmond Legal Ltd: What does that mean? For us it indicates that the firm genuinely do have an affinity and expertise for the two areas of law . Don't expect this to change very quickly though. class="infoquote "Contact us on 0161 637 7177 or 07956 113019 for emergencies"< d...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: 'trust' and 'inheritance'. For example Gillian Grinyer having qualified in 1980, Ekta Porter qualifying in 2010, right up to incredibly newbie Abraam Azir qualifying in 2021. With Wills & Probate though, this idea of specialism goes an extra step further. They can cert...


Bilkus & Boyle: A two hundred year old brand name doesn't have a two hundred year old solicitor dealing with cases. Typically one side is always unhappy at how a sale has gone either due to timescale, delays with finance, things popping up during the search phase, and so on. For example, we...


Catteralls Solicitors: That's surely a very good sign. They stated as such on their about us page.

Penerley Lawyers: Unfortunately this has not really spread to law firms as much as everywhere else. Even today there are dozens of law firms that don't even have a website, let alone an online tracking system for people to check on their case progress. We really don't advise relying on any ...


The Search Bureau: Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. Also most of the fraud involved in conveyancing transactions tend to focus on actual buyer seller clients of the actual law firms. Whilst the majority of articles we write are aimed at informing general consu...


Education Law Service Ltd: Even in this modern era of emails and video chat and smartphones - a huge percentage of law firms still hold tight to the old tradition of only being open 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri. It's just that people are much more likely to jump online to rant or rave about their new toaster tha...


Pump Court Chambers: Huge numbers of them state they provide their services 'nationally' in the hope of getting as many clients as possible. 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: 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 when they are not. The reason we were so keen though, was simply from one opening line on their website: ...


Lindsays Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are proud to sponsor Eilish McColgan, one of the rising female track stars of Scottish and UK athletics"< div> Firms will often do charity events raising a few hundred pounds for something then get several news articles about it put out. It's ...

Reid Black Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.reidblack.com with www.reidblack.co.uk not currently showing anything at all.

Howe + Co Solicitors: One thing you rarely see in relation to UK law firms is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to them. 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 und...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: But you never know what might be thought of next so make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss bank details via email. He covers a very specialist range though, dealing with commercial and employment issues. If you https: www.barstandardsboard.org.uk barris...


Levins Solicitors: You can always hang up and call back on the phone number you know is correct. Currently www.levinslaw.com is owned by someone else. The idea is obviously that people will trust the experience of a 150 year established firm versus a 1 year old firm. A good mix of seasoned wi...


Aconveyancing Ltd: There really isn't anything for them to cover up to begin with. However from experience we and many other people have learned there is no 200 year old guru at any firm imparting all their wisdom to new staff. Often all the on the same day. class="infoquote "We al...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: But the start date of any law firm is not the same as having experience. But if you win, there may be. A last word from The Injury Solicitor site: class="infoquote "we aim to keep the process as simple and straightforward as possible and promise to keep you updated at ...


RD Costings: The main site we link to above is www.rdcostings.co.uk, currently www.rdcostings.com does not redirect you there. The focus is usually on Road Accidents, Work Injuries and Slip Trips. Something we would expect a personal injury lawyer on their first day to be able to push th...


MGBe Legal: Most mentioned the depth of knowledge. From the very (sometimes unfathomably) niche boutiques, to large international firms. The list official recommendations for using MGBe Legal are therefore quite high. At 1to1Legal we like to research and review a wide variety firms. B...


McEwan Fraser Legal: Also be aware that it's very easy to spoof the 'Sender:' in an email. A quick word on navigation. There is a huge amount of public reviews about the firm though. Still, people are generally unsatisfied about the length of time it takes to buy or sell a property ...


Fieldfisher LLP: The majority are positive. The main site we link to above is www.fieldfisher.com with www.fieldfisher.co.uk redirecting you there. We therefore think there may be some confusion with the firm's name when people are searching to leave reviews. They have over 400 solic...


APS Legal & Associates: This particular claim above is made on a few pages we saw including the main page and their About Us section. unequalled in providing the highest standard of service and quality of advice"< div> So does this carry over in to satisfied clients? In all honesty this is a...


Linkilaw Solicitors: But law firms are starting to realise that telling people they've been established for over 150 years no longer impresses. Even then their focus was still business clients. The solicitors themselves also get scammed into paying out to the wrong people. Just hang up and ring ...


NV Legal Ltd: The official website we link to above is www.nvlegal.co.uk with www.nvlegal.com currently being owned by someone else. A very basic example, but hopefully illustrates that whether a firm offers 100% compensation or not should not be a dealbreaker. Your claim will NOT [sic] b...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: Whilst many firms will use the Blog News Article section to just write extra sales pitches thinly disguised as help - Simons Rodkin have put together some really in-depth help pieces that can give you a decent head start in understanding your case and what's needed. Simons ...


DFA Law LLP: But what about the client reviews we mentioned at the start? Certainly the firm has glowing testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "... So do the independent review boards match up? class="infoquote "Professional, efficient and easy to deal with." "...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: Over the past 20+ years of working with law firms we've seen so many negative reviews for firms that were clearly unwarranted or simply about the wrong firm. A last word to sum up from the firm themselves: class="infoquote "Whether you are a company or an individ...
