Our parent firm has written hundreds of editorial review pieces on law firms around the UK including general practice offices, specialists and non-law firm solutions. You can read about them here:

Calio Claims: Today while reviewing the website of Calio Claims we'll also be discussing branding. For the new generations of potential clients looking up a law firm on the internet, they are simply more likely to want to use a firm called "Swift Claims" compared to "Swift & Johnson Solic...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: The home page provides an overview of the firm's services and areas of expertise, along with a brief introduction to the firm and its philosophy. EDC Lord & Co Solicitors is a UK law firm that provides a variety of legal services to clients. Make sure you are always on...


NJS Law Ltd: One criminal lawyer specialist had a 1 star review for refusing to take on someone's divorce case. So how can you tell whether one firm is better for your needs compared to any others? The wording may often sound great on all the sites. Some are just plain idiots. If you r...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: So it's not as dramatic as on first glance. One firm may say "established in 1881" while another says "40 years of experience". You have to read the comments. However you can easily end up with a 1-year qualified novice from a 200-year old firm, and a 40-year veteran lawyer...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: A site we've often praised and sadly without good counterparts in Scotland or Ireland yet. If a firm has only one solicitor on board yet states they handle every case type possible - then it is unlikely they will excel at any of them. So what are the independent board...

Wilford Smith Solicitors: A firm covering personal and business matters with local offices in Sheffield and Rotherham. Clearly there is not a 200-year-old solicitor sitting behind the desk. Or more precisely, their clients have. Most legal professionals will provide a testimonials page and this firm ...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: The idea being that the older the firm, the more established and experienced. It states the firm is relatively new which brings up a point about law firms we've covered before but which bears repeating. The majority of scams the past several years have all focused on https...


Wildcat Law Ltd: For the entirety of the 20th century people had to take their case to a solicitor who would then hire a barrister to represent the matter in court (if it came to that). Also note that if you are searching for reviews on Google these days you often have to enter the location ...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: A quick note on navigation though as the official website we link to above is www.lslegaluk.com with none of the most common variants such as www.lslegal.co.uk .com redirecting you there. They even have https: www.youtube.com @lslegalsolicitors6960" multiple vidoes<...


A City Law Firm Ltd: They will all still be the positive comments, but https: acitylawfirm.com testimonials " they will also display< a> the name of an actual business willing to have their brand posted on that page next to those comments. Don't make assumptions because for all you know it ma...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: Luckily there is a great resource online with The Law Society of England & Wales who provide a wealth of data on any law firm registered with them. The official web address we link to above is www.buchananco.co.uk and although the expected variant of www.buchananand...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: The answer isn't completely black and white, but certainly there is enough anecdotal evidence from our 20+ years in the industry to make the claim that people have found better results with specialist Motor Offence, Divorce, and Medical Negligence firms. class="info...


Guardian Law: We've seen a law practice praised for its 'tasty new menu' and a divorce specialist given a zero-star rating for refusing to handle someone's criminal law case. To us that indicates the best qualities of a specialist firm in that they genuinely seem to care about bus...

Backhouse Solicitors: An actual sit down with an experienced solicitor to talk for free before deciding to go ahead is rarer than we think it should be. etc. You would think that the development of the internet and every company having a full website about themselves with dozens of third party ...


WH Solicitors: The main thing to remember is that a lack of reviews is not a negative sign. class="infoquote "I received my settlement status within a couple of weeks even though it was a late submission application." "The outcome was very positive. The number of reviews that are...


Two Harcourt Buildings: On the Bar Standards Board's site you can't always look up by overall firm name and even when you do find a page on an individual chamber's member the information is certainly not layman-friendly. Two Harcourt Building's official website is the helpfully short www.2hb...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: Make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments via email. . Plus any firm that deals with property will always, always have negative comments about delays. We've seen solicitor's praised for the great pizza and a criminal law firm criticised for not han...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Not least so because it means they are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which we have long praised as an excellent user resource for background checking law practices. class="infoquote "Our solicitors are ... That means if you see a firm cla...


Woodstock Legal Services: A mix of seasoned heads on fresh legs. They include direct contact information and work history details of each staff member which is perfect. However on this occasion we have because they are not just hand-picked and solicited client remarks but actual comments from indust...


Stephanie Heijdra: Barristers are setup quite differently to regular law offices in that there typically aren't official physical law offices to go back and forth to. She also runs the Winvolved Legal Consultancy using www.winvolvedlegal.co.uk Her name is very unique so you should get a good l...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: This has the obviously knock on effect: class="infoquote "... They provide far, far more than any of their rival organisations on the user side including office locations, aka business names, alternative contact details, and most importantly - the qualification date...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: We've seen law firms with great ratings for their new restaurant menu and negative comments about their parking machines. But the phrase 'no news is good news' has stood the test of time for a reason - i.e. We don't often give out specific advice in these articles. But...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: The best resource we've found is The Law Society of England & Wales website which is packed with useful details such as contact details, all office addresses, practice areas, and staff qualification dates. Don't just flick through average ratings. But the main thin...


Brown and Co Solicitors: Here are some of the resources we use that you might not have known about or things to watch for you might not have thought about. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 509558 brown-and-co-solicitors" check the page for this firm< a> you'll see contact details...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Normally you have to dig through several 'Excellent! Would recommend!' quotes to get to something useful. class="infoquote "Our story began in 2000 with a small office ... If you check the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 455061 mackenzie-jon...


Hill House Chambers: That's still very useful information though and something people typicaly want to know yet can't find out when it comes to barristers. A solicitor's firm will have all staff working as if it's one big company together. class="infoquote "Barristers Mohsin Aslam was ve...


Stowe Family Law: It's not uncommon for well-known divorce firms to demand £hundreds in a retainer deposit before even meeting with you. Many firms will have testimonials on their website, but as they tend to be only the best possible comments - people want to find those disgruntled cu...


Rose Fendlen Law: Because the actions needed for each of the case titles quoted can follow the same general direction and court proceedings if necessary. Just always make sure you know exactly which site you are on, which email addresses you are responding to, and we recommend putting full na...


Bell Lax Solicitors: Surely an enviable staff selection for any firm to have? It should hopefully mean wise, seasoned heads but with eager, fresh ideas bouncing around. Fortunately, Bell Lax https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 589519 bell-lax-limited" are registered with them< a>. Th...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: This competition has really benefited clients in ensuring firms really buckle down and excel in a certain area. www.jpslaw.co.uk which is a completely different firm). But there is actually much more to unpack there than you might think: class="infoquote "We are a mode...


The Legal Practice Ltd: Also be aware that if a firm has more than one office there may be separate reviews for each. If someone calls saying they are from your solicitor's office and you don't recognise the person - never feel uncomfortable about saying you're going to hang up and ring them back o...


Youngs Solicitors: class="infoquote "Public Funding or 'Legal aid' is available for Care Proceedings and Domestic Violence Domestic Abuse injunctions (where financially eligible)."< div> This is actually a much more impressive statement than you might think. As our poll last year i...


Lefevres Law: (Their other locations being Glasgow and Edinburgh.) According to the Law Society of Scotland they are the same firm but for some reason the main Lefevres' law site states the Aberdeen office is at 70 Carden Place whilst everywhere else lists it as 40 Carden Place. Lefevres ...


David Stinson & Co: That can be a trickier claim to navigate and we've been told by people within the industry that prior experience can really help . We have discovered recently though that many potential clients also enjoy case studies and find them useful in getting a better feel for the ...


Cooks Solicitors: 99.9999% of people involved in a property sale (obviously exaggerating for effect but essentially a truth) feel it should have gone faster and been easier. Therefore there will likely be reviews, information, and links for each branding within the group dotted about on the s...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: That's a considerable range of experience between them but it should also be a good mix of seasoned wise heads alongside fresh eager ideas. The branding of these three offices is Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd who are part of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd (that's the 'Y' on the e...


My Law Matters: But the main thing people tend to look for when researching any firm is their online reviews. When it comes to legal services, often the losing side in a case will leave a bad review. Seasoned expert hands alongside fresh legs. class="infoquote "Our head office was e...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: We've been reviewing law firms for over 20 years now. It's one of those marketing jargon phrases that sounds great but essentially could be said by any firm. class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans Solicitors was originally established in Ayr in 1985."< div> If you've re...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: To start off we should try to clarify that 'QualitySolicitors' is not an actual law firm with 100 locations. www.burtonlaw.co.uk did redirect there at one point but we haven't seen that for a while. That's probably why less than 8% of you indicated you trusted company testim...


OneLaw Chambers: Scammers email property buying clients telling them the bank details for their deposit has changed and apparently thousands of people have simply sent the money to the fraudster's bank account without bothering to check with their solicitor first . £millions have been lost....


Beers LLP: Make sure you know what site you're on and never discuss payments via email . . class="infoquote "We take time to get to know our clients, their businesses and their individual needs."< div> The most common resource people use when judging the merits of any ser...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: The first means that if your case loses you have nothing to pay. If a firm is regulated properly then they will state so along with their number on their website. To fix those missing floor boards. Obviously the official site we link to above is www.disrepairclaim.co.uk but ...


Simper Law Ltd: They even kick off their website with a self-description of being "a small law firm of Norwich solicitors". But the main reason people probably prefer the third party independent review boards is that they will also include any negative reviews. However, we recommend ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: The usual amount is 25% of the settlement. class="infoquote "We are a firm of Solicitors who specialise in civil litigation. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on the personal service that we provide to our clients in meeting their needs."< div> Unfortunat...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: The most important figure we think people should focus on is not how old the brand name is, but the number of years experience the actual solicitor that will be handling your case has. class="infoquote "We are a team of senior solicitors who combine their knowledge an...


Taylor Price Solicitors: These should ideally - according to us - have a photo, brief work history, a list of specialties, and direct contact information. A quick note on navigation then with that point in mind. (No, really. Another was a finalist for Best Professional in Business at the http...


Michael Leighton Jones: If you flick through each of the staff at MLJ you'll see some focus on Personal Injury, others on Property Matters, and others on things like Family Law. This is very different to a firm that offers a wide range of case types handled, but ALL of their solicitors try to ...
