Eatons Solicitors:
Eatons don't use any actual wording tricks that we saw. A common one is to state the number of years the firm has existed. You can't just look up overall reviews.

Kee Solicitors Ltd: If you're trying to look for reviews on Google it is becoming more common to have to enter the location as well as the firm's name - e.g. The branding matches the web address with www.keesolicitors.co.uk being the official site. So we know a lot of the changes that have oc...

Brian Barr Solicitors: There is only the one office so a search for their name will usually bring up their site, links to regulatory bodies, company reviews, and so on.
The reason people prefer the public boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. is to get a wider range of opinions ...
Frei Solicitors: While they are all clearly positive, they are also very few in number. This is where being a niche firm can sometimes cause an issue.
