Farah Family Law: Why could that be important for family matters? Because the title "Family Law" covers a huge number of niche legal battles. Who knows the loopholes. It does, but if you're not really a specialist - should you be using it? We think there are only two setups which sh...

England & Derbyshire LLP: With all this choice available and the entire internet at your disposal - how do you pick the best legal help for you? First thing is to make sure it's an actual legal services provider. That could be because the firm's name uses terms usually associated with locatio...


Nero Legal Ltd: Nero does display testimonials on their website, but most people tend to prefer the public comments. Most being local and relating to homelessness financial struggles such as http: www.scotlandswinterproject.org " Scotland's winter project< a>, H4TH (Help 4 the Homeless),...

MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: Luckily, a range of options have become available that can really help people obtain swift, cost-effective help. These are businesses who are willing to have their brand name displayed as recommending the services of another commercial firm. The only resour...

Cook Legal Ltd: Law firms authorised to practice in England & Wales can practice in any area of those countries. So when you see a solicitor's practice has hardly any reviews that doesn't always mean something negative. There are also a couple of firms using the name "Cook Legal", one of wh...


TWB Probate Solicitors: class="infoquote "All case work is undertaken by a solicitor who thereby provides a customised, personal service. There are a multitude of options in between. The .co.uk version doesn't currently redirect you there and with the longer name it may be an idea to bookmar...


Brodies LLP Solicitors: Some firms must have had problems or fall short of their promises. class="infoquote "Alzheimer Scotland has been our charity partner since 2020, and we are proud to have raised more than £150,000 with fundraising initiatives"< div> . It's only there you get to...


PCS Legal Ltd: But at the time of writing the firm had an average star rating of 3.9 which might be confusing. This resource may be a useful to bear in mind when trying to decide between conveyancers. This means delays are common during what is already a difficult and nerve rackin...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: 'dispute' and 'resolver'. They offer a 30 minute free consultation to discuss your issue and see if ADR can help get the matter resolved without the need for court. Google has also made changes so that reviews of a firm will often not pop up with just their name entered in...

Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: So the age of the firm's logo will probably bear no relation on how well they will run your case. However we don't think you should base your decision to use any firm on their 'founding' date. There are also mentions of Clarkson Wright & Jakes Notaries. While most companies ...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: It seems so long ago that you would have a handful of solicitor offices in your local high street that handled everything. There are plenty of really good, experienced paralegals out there. There is a separate website for the Scottish branch at www.scotlandinjurysolicitors...


Solidaire Solicitors: This means you are able to verify the 'experience' level of any solicitor you might be thinking of using. Above are some snippets from those. So how do you tell the firms apart when a website is pretty much all you have to go on? Solidaire are a law firm based in M...


Defank Solicitors: For example, a Personal Injury case may have zero costs up front or even at the end of the case since lawyer fees are typically paid by the third party. Any big changes, you need to ring your actual solicitor to check.. As you go through the hundreds of law firm websites ava...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: Sadly, not all law societies provide such great detail. class="infoquote "communication was great, always advising" "the team was really helpful and responsive" "systematic and efficient which ensured a speedy hassle free experience" "very quick responses to any...


HCR Legal LLP: This doesn't seem to be just a gimmicky extra to target people. For example, while www.hcrlaw.co.uk redirects you to the main site, other variants such as www.hcrlegal.com are not currently owned by the firm. However it's the independent forums most people turn to and pref...


Horsley Law: https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 595853 horsley-holdings-ltd?Solicitors=True" For Horsley Law< a> their main solicitor is listed as Ashley Cocker who qualified in 2012. They also state (at the time of writing): class="infoquote "99% trials wo...

Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: Did you know that 'solicitors' and 'lawyers' are not the same thing in the UK? If you didn't know, don't worry. This is actually more significant than you might first think. Also, while you may have gone through a dozen websites today of 'Conveyancing' firms - not all are t...

McCarthy + Co LLP: But pay attention whether any claims a firm make are actually backed up. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves in providing a personalised and exceptional standard of service to our all clients."< div> Of course the main way people tend to check up on statement...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd: Whilst some of their staff are fairly new to the industry such as Asimah Ali who qualified in 2023, you also have Katie Bell who became a solicitor in 2013, Charlotte Bandawe in 2005, Sarah Hull in 1998, right up to Deborah Procter who qualified in 1988. Oakwood clea...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd: That's a big plus in our opinion and rarer than you might think. We did see a few negative comments but they were unclear and the firm has commented the name and description of the case doesn't match any of their past clients. Some firms provide staff profile pages which we...


Sternberg Reed LLP: You'll also be shown the expertise and qualification dates of all solicitors within their offices. Keep safe and keep aware. Sternberg Reed displays practice staff with experience spanning the past six decades such as Elizabeth Bendall who qualified in 1976, Julian Beard (19...


Eatons Solicitors: Firms will try to express experience in many ways. But most importantly they also list the areas of expertise and qualification date of every solicitor registered within the firm as well. The negative reviews are where you find out any themes showing a common issue. Many f...

SG Murphy Solicitors: SG Murphy Solicitors does display some reviews on their website . However a poll we ran a few years back indicated that only 9% of people trusted company provided reviews. So how do you tell them apart? Sadly, since the giant push for marketing jargon to make thing...


Walker Foster Solicitors: But you've probably seen alot of good words on other firm's websites too such as 'modern', 'friendly', or 'experienced'. They are something to watch for on law firm's websites. You can't see reviews of the company as a whole any more. class="infoquote "Walker Foster ...


Harrison's Solicitors: We had to look up individual listing information and reviews for each individual office. So seeing any property firm with a star rating in the 4s such as Harrisons' is unusual. www.harrisonssolicitors.co.uk is not currently owned by the firm and there will be plenty of varia...


Girlings Solicitors LLP: Be aware that www.girlings.co.uk is a totally different firm doing Lettings. As I said, this became common practice after the law changes in the 90s which stripped the nation of many Legal Aid helps and dumped all the burden onto the legal industry. That's much rarer than yo...

All you see is: class="infoquote "Our new website will be ...


Mark Croft Solicitor: That's how uncommon it is. So just be careful anyway when visiting sites and always be aware of what site you're on, it's padlock status, and who's emailing you.. Another is the more useless of claims (in our opinion) such as 'established in 1881'. class="in...


EMD Law LLP: So what are they saying about this firm on the web? class="infoquote "at the end of the phone most of the time when you need help" "may not be the cheapest solicitors around but you get what you pay for" "explained everything so that we had a good understanding of...


Lyons Solicitors: We help and advise clients throughout Bristol, North and North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire."< div> All this wording aside, though, we want to tell you about a great resource that can really help you distinguish one firm from another. That's a big differen...


Brian Barr Solicitors: So how do you tell them apart? For example, the majority of compensation claim firms state they are 'specialists'. Many use similar wording, similar images, and make similar claims. The firm's site is HTTPS secure for entering your details on the contact form but ...


Frei Solicitors: We enjoy working with our clients, and strive to build a lasting relationship."< div> A quick note on navigation. class="infoquote "We work with law firms in other jurisdictions, where we have close links and strong personal relationships, in order to achieve o...
