Editorials on UK Legal Companies
Farah Family Law: Larger firms with multiple solicitors who each individually specialise in a particular area of law is a stretch, but it's not nearly as misleading as how others have used it. The obvious comparison is with a solicitor who takes on all sorts of cases but really doesn't know ...
Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: Some people just flick through star ratings but that doesn't always give a good indication. Anything suspicious, make sure to call someone you know at the firm to check.. There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger companies as far as we can see. You can a...
Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: Not GSB Solicitors and not "garden stirling and burnet". Sadly, the Scottish Law Society does not offer the wealth of information that it's England Wales counterpart supplies consumers south of the border. If you see a firm stating "established 1881" or similar though...
England & Derbyshire LLP: class="infoquote "Our clients can be confident that we will provide them with the highest quality legal advice and representation in these areas."< div> Their website is HTTPS secure for submitting your details via their contact form. All this navigation info...
Nero Legal Ltd: If you've spent the day looking for a law firm to help you with any legal matter, the first thing you'll probably have noticed is just how similar (or sometimes identical) some firm's websites can look. With every firm we write about there is normally something that h...
MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: Sadly, the UK's legal system was like that for centuries and has been very slow to change.
Luckily, a range of options have become available that can really help people obtain swift, cost-effective help. They assume a lengthy procedure and high costs. For many peopl...
Crockett & Co Solicitors: Such dates will merely be about the brand name. It should be noted though, that there are various ways a firm might refer to themselves as a 'specialist' . The number of people in the UK that might qualify and the number of case types it applies to is dwindling.
Th...
Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law:

Cook Legal Ltd: So you may wish to bookmark the site just in case you are coming back later. You will need a law firm authorised to work in Scotland for Scottish cases, Northern Ireland for NI cases, and Republic of Ireland for ROI cases. However when law firms do this it tends to be more...
TWB Probate Solicitors: This is to let people realise and choose from more options than they might think are available. The SRA's site is not the best laid out though and the search can be difficult to navigate. This is a group of advisors that have consultants on staff. While we are concerned ab...
Brodies LLP Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We immerse ourselves in our clients' sectors so that we can deliver enhanced legal services and expertise. There doesn't seem to be any other firms popping up in the search with similar names. So while the words themselves don't really tell you why y...

The firm's branding seems solid around the name PCS Legal Ltd based in Essex with th...
Dispute Resolver Consultancy: If the matter does go to court, sometimes using ADR beforehand can help define the issue and break it down to the specifics that are in dispute. We've seen this with law firms that use words such as 'law' or 'legal' in their name. However, for ADR professionals there doesn't...
Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: If you look up a dozen or so law firms that handle property matters, you'll find most of them have negative comments. too much choice. So the age of the firm's logo will probably bear no relation on how well they will run your case.
Let's be honest, practically no one...

QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: So firms who specialise in these might have few or even no reviews, while property sales legal practices will always have plenty of people expressing their feelings. People simply aren't as quick to discuss their divorce, criminal proceeding, or child custody battle in a rev...
HCR Legal LLP: Every firm will put amazing sounding sales-pitches on their websites:
class="infoquote "Our passion for people is at the heart of everything we do ...

Amy King Legal: Or at least, less understanding. Certainly when confronted with a very friendly 5-year experienced solicitor after just speaking to an incredibly curt 40-year veteran - you will be tempted to use the less experienced but more approachable person. Also, you could very well en...
Heritage Park Family Law Ltd: However if it does and you are with a solicitor that can't represent you in a court - that means they may have to hire a barrister to join the case and perform that function.
There are now specialists for Immigration, Motor Offences, and even really niche areas of law...
McCarthy + Co LLP: It didn't even link to the secure version of the firm's website either. They are not the be-all and end-all of important things to check.
This offers huge advantages when trying to verify a law firm or look into which is best for you. Even this quote above from the M...
Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: That's much rarer than you might think and indicates a far better chance your solicitor will be directly involved in the case. This should mean everyone has a much wider range of choice when it comes to getting help.
However, you need to be extra careful online thes...
ACSL Solicitors Ltd: Some firms are registered with their https: www.liverpoollawsociety.org.uk lawyers acsl-solicitors-ltd " local law society< a> as well. Absolutely, a firm that indicates potential pricing on their site is showing< u> a level of transparency rather than just claiming to h...
Sternberg Reed LLP:
However, we see many small firms clearly stating they are small with pride. But the most common way people confirm about a company's 'exceptional customer service' is by checking the independent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. However we alw...
Eatons Solicitors: So a quick note on navigation is required. It's very easy for a firm to claim they are large or experienced in the text of their website.

class="infoquote "Welcome to Thomas and Thomas Solicitors, your trusted legal partner in South Wales. People http...
Wolf Law Solicitors: All firms can call themselves 'leading' in one thing or another. We have seen some sites peg the firm in Birkenhead, Hoylake, Prenton, and Oxton. Unfortunately Scottish and Irish consumers don't have a similar facility to rely upon so count yourselves lucky.
class="i...

Both are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms. But while those sales words...
UVS Law: Especially with everything going on at the moment. You could end up with a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 50-year established firm, or a 40-year veteran lawyer from a brand new law office. While it's very (very, very) easy to assume all government officials are corrupt an...

Mark Croft Solicitor:
So if you see any law firm's website saying they are willing to take on Legal Aid cases - don't just pass that over as if it's something every law firm does. This statement is clear as it means Mark Croft himself has 28 years of experience . At the time of writing the...
EMD Law LLP: While we have seen firms offering a full initial hour free for cases such as divorce - there are also plenty more offering only 15 mins or nothing at all. So what are they saying about this firm on the web?

"straight forward, professional and...
Calio Claims: That's why we always recommend people read the actual comments and never just flick through star ratings when deciding which firm to use. Being aware of what you're typing and what site you're on is important because of the huge amount of scams such as https: www.ncsc.go...
