Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors: However you may not be getting the most out of such resources. That's not a criticism. However for this piece the two are going to be merged together deliberately because sometimes a little insight into how things are viewed from one side - can help provide a little clarity...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: As for years of experience, there is often a big difference between any firm saying they have "40 years experience" versus "40 years of combined experience" or "40 years of experience within the firm". Plus, it's very common for clients of the other side to leave neg...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: It's a difficult thing to judge. People have https: www.bbc.co.uk news world-europe-jersey-64624656" handed their entire house deposit< a> into fraudster's bank accounts sometimes simply because they got an official-looking email telling them to change the bank details. S...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: Many home buyers have https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk conveyancing-scams " handed their entire house deposit< a> to a scammer sometimes merely because they received an official-looking email saying the bank details for payment had changed.

LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: We very rarely push out direct advice in our articles but we have no problem stating that if the solicitor you're looking at hiring only works a handful of Immigration cases per year - try someone else. They even have https: www.youtube.com @lslegalsolicitors6960" multipl...


A City Law Firm Ltd: Sometimes even for big brands we've had to type in the location of the head office to get the correct reviews to show up. So for any firm you're able to see for yourself whether there is a decent amount of experience individually and collaboratory in the firm you're thinki...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: The goal is to help people find the best solution for their particular case whether general practice solicitor, direct access barrister, specialist firm, or alternatives such as mediation or accountants. class="infoquote "We are a long established firm of Sol...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our team of industry experts have been brought together to create a client focused business which understands our clients' individual needs"< div> So where can you find out if a lawyer is meeting those client needs? The place people normally j...

WH Solicitors: We've long praised this organisation's consumer offering over the years. People are just often far less inclined to publicly discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, or brain injuries on comment boards than they about the pizza they had yesterday. The firm's official website is ww...

Two Harcourt Buildings: The snippets above are therefore gathered from various industry websites such as https: www.legal500.com " The Legal 500< a> and the official Chambers rankings. Two Harcourt Buildings may be a setup you're not familiar with because prior to recent changes in how the...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: While seeing such a description is not rare amongst many types of business, it's something we've stopped seeing so much amongst solicitor's practices. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 595126 mjv-co-solicitors-ltd" check out the page< a> for this firm you'...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Don't be afraid to call the official number you already have if anything you receive seems even remotely suspicious. class="infoquote "Our solicitors are ... Some people have handed over the entire deposit of their house to a fraudulent bank account simply because the...


Woodstock Legal Services: So when we came across Woodstock Legal Services it was a pleasant surprise to discover their setup, staff, and backgrounds could match some of the larger brandings we work with (and many we don't).

Stephanie Heijdra: We did find Stephanie provided help opinions for various news articles about her area of law including to https: www.express.co.uk news politics 1380364 Brexit-2021-timeline-important-milestones-EU-latest-news-EVG" The Express< a> and on a https: eachother.org.uk marria...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: However, since this firm handles business matters as well we gave them a little more weight as the company's own brand is stated behind their praise. Plus, errors in the web bar may take you to a totally different site. We've been hoping that for many years and it's getti...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: But if you see a firm of 1 or 2 solicitors stating they handle every case type you can think of from Personal Injury to Family Law, Criminal Law and Immigration as well - chances are they are probably not able to keep themselves as well informed or up to date as a specialis...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: So if things have gone bad, it hasn't affected their outward image. But the main thing we want to cover in this piece relates to: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on our level of client service, constantly striving to ensure our clients expectations are satisfied ...


Brown and Co Solicitors: The full official website is www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk with www.brownandcosolicitors.com redirecting you there. class="infoquote "If your solicitor hasn't got time for you, it's unlikely that he or she has time for your opponents, their solicitors or others invo...

Hill House Chambers: But it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the scam of ' https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" phishing< a>' and maybe read a few articles about https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk conveyancing-scams " conveyancing scams< a> to see just how bad it can be if ...


Stowe Family Law: class="infoquote "Whatever you’re facing as a family, in whatever shape yours is, was, or will be, we’ll be here to listen to what you have to say and help with what you need to do."< div> To verify claims of whether a firm really does listen to clients, mo...


Rose Fendlen Law: Personal Injury ... The main reason they haven't managed to pick a legal help provider already is often an inability to tell each of them apart . The official site we link to above is www.rf-law.co.uk and the old address of www.lrose-law.com redirects there. One last point:...


Bell Lax Solicitors: But absolutely no solicitor should charge you any fees for running the case or if the case loses. Surely an enviable staff selection for any firm to have? It should hopefully mean wise, seasoned heads but with eager, fresh ideas bouncing around. Another couple of brownie p...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: For example, if you sometimes check the companies house website looking to verify the status of a Limited company, you'll see that JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd was created https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 10213017" in 2016< a>. www.jpslaw.co....


The Legal Practice Ltd: The official website is www.thelegalpractice.co.uk but again, www.thelegalpractice.com is owned by a different firm. For The Legal Practice they show a range of experience levels from Navjiven Mandair who qualified as a solicitor in 1997, right up to Dharmini Soma...


Youngs Solicitors: Most importantly, it does not pay out an up to date payment rate for solicitors. Please note that you can't have an ampersand (&) in a web address so anything like www.young&co.law will not exist. At the time we checked, they were clickable images rather than live counters -...


Lefevres Law: If you've already been through a dozen or so other legal company websites today looking for a good fit for you and your case - that's something you may have noticed quite quickly. It may sound like a lot, but bear in mind that a good lawyer taking 25% of a £5000 win is bette...


David Stinson & Co: Unlike other services such as hairdressers, restaurants, or a car wash - most people don't rush online to share their experience about a messy divorce, life-changing injury, or embarrassing bankruptcy proceedings. The latter means that you have nothing to pay whether your c...


Cooks Solicitors: For example those firms stating 'founded in 1881' or even older dates. The experience levels of the solicitor running your case is the most crucial number out of the two. When it comes to law firms though, we absolutely recommend that you read through the reviews and ignore ...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: For example in Havant (near Portsmouth) they list a range of staff including Samantha Lee who qualified as a solicitor in 1995, Kelly Applegate in 2000, Tina Smith in 2013, right up to Kara Babbage who just joined the legal profession in 2021.

QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: The idea being that they all work together to grow each other's businesses and each member firm is meant to get a positive buzz from being attached to the name. The official website for all QS firms is www.qualitysolicitors.com but you need to go to the www.qualitysolicito...


OneLaw Chambers: There are law societies based on the city, county, and country level. However if you consider there are well over a hundred thousand law practices nationwide it does make the honour a little more niche. Barristers normally say very clearly on the front page of their website ...


Beers LLP: If you've read through any of our other law firm cover articles, you'll hopefully know that we do our best to write unbiased information. Whilst most of the time people may think of specialist firms as handling only one area of law such as Criminal or Divorce matters - these...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: for other inconveniences and loss of amenity ..."< div> So is there a compelling reason we've made an exception for this CMC? Yes and unfortunately it's a very bleak one because most high street law firms across the UK do not take Housing Disrepair claim matters. W...


Simper Law Ltd: For some reason though, the legal industry still has the complete opposite mentality. Our article today is about Simper Law which turns out to be much more of a unique offering than expected. However, we recommend always reading through the actual comments rather t...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Normally you will be asked to sign an insurance document to cover the costs of your case. There are various ways to have the case paid for , but as far as we're concerned no injury claim firm should even take any money from a client up front, during the case, or if the case...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: The issues with other similar domain names being available and alternate searches really only affects cases where the client has to pay large sums of money such as property matters. Some firms post testimonials on their sites, but according to our poll last year only ...


Taylor Price Solicitors: But later on in the site they also state: class="infoquote "The management team spearheading Taylor Price Solicitors consists of legal professionals with over 45 years of combined legal experience"< div> Which is the main point to take away from this mini-rant abo...


Michael Leighton Jones: Useful context for negative reviews should be used to check if there is a theme. class="infoquote "Simply contact us to book a free no obligation meeting"< div> For Personal Injury and Property matters we would expect every single solicitor in the UK to offer fre...


Milners Solicitors: Some have a bit more background about their work life. So how do the independent forums look? class="infoquote "Professional, supportive and very responsive" "have the kind of tenacity you want from a law firm" "offered thorough, honest advice and was so ef...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: There have also been many changes to the types of solutions people can have beyond 'solicitors'. If you're a thorough background checker (and we're acutely aware that many of you are) you'll notice that KRS Estate Planning Ltd is listed with Companies House as ha...
