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:

EDC Lord & Co Solicitors: Make sure you are always on the correct website and never discuss payment details via email. Also you cannot use an ampersand in web addresses so www.edclord&co.co.uk is not possible. The comments and reviews seem mostly positive: class="infoquote "took the time...


NJS Law Ltd: Being in business for 40 years is not the same as your assigned solicitor having 40 years of experience. In our opinion, 'established' or 'founding' dates are useless in determining which firm is best for you and should be ignored. 'njs law in blackburn'. Keeping such ...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: The main take away is to never flick through star ratings when it comes to law firms. The majority are positive which is actually surprising for a Conveyancing firm. We don't typically give direct advice in these articles, but we feel safe saying you can pretty mu...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: The best and most popular way to check up on this kind of statement on a law firm's website is through public reviews. Many of the things we do from a business vetting side might be useful to you from a consumer side as well. The comments for TLP are very positive . We di...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: Most legal professionals will provide a testimonials page and this firm https: www.wilfordsmith.com testimonials " does so here< a>. This was true for all industries, not just law. For example: one of the largest Conveyancing firms in the UK (My Home Move) have a current ...

Foster & Coleman Ltd: For example you'd obviously be much better off with a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old firm than a 1-year qualified newbie solicitor that happens to work at a 200-year old brand name. This is the main way people judge a firm's 'reputation'. that they provide poor a...


Wildcat Law Ltd: This lets you gauge the amount of actual experience a law firm might have at its disposal. class="infoquote "The team at Wildcat Law consists of a number of experienced Barristers, Solicitors and a Chartered Wealth Manager."< div> Hopefully those insights can h...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: But we were impressed by the fact that as they've grown they seem to have limited that growth only to areas of law where they could provide similar focused expertise. So always make sure you're on the correct site and speaking to someone you know at the firm. That's a cons...


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. Sometimes even for big brands we've had to type in th...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: People have handed over https: www.lawsociety.org.uk public for-public-visitors common-legal-issues payment-diversion-fraud" tens of thousands of pounds< a> in house deposits to fraudsters over the past couple of decades. class="infoquote "Our friendly and approach...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: So don't dismiss such offers lightly. Over the past two decades people have https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1511097 property-warning-home-buyers-scam-conveyancing-fraud" handed millions over to fraudsters< a>. Always remember though that ampersands cannot be...


Guardian Law: At the time of writing we could only find a total of four reviews on the most popular boards https: www.google.com search?q=guardian+law+nottingham&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsZbN_HU50tpkEOaHnK41vCAgn0gRQ%3A1666210938735&ei=elxQY5HBLJSKhbIPj6ydqAU&ved=0ahUKEwiR...


Backhouse Solicitors: class="infoquote "Backhouse Solicitors is a modern and forward thinking solicitors firm offering high levels of expertise and service to individuals, businesses and their owners."< div> Today we're obviously reviewing Backhouse Solicitors. A decent mix of seaso...

WH Solicitors: So full time at just immigration asylum matters is decent enough to add up. That's not to dismiss larger firms with multiple specialists on board. People are just often far less inclined to publicly discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, or brain injuries on comment board...


Two Harcourt Buildings: But make sure to check through each chamber's website and have a good chat with someone on the phone to get some clarity about the Public Access Scheme in relation to what you need. If you check out pages on some barristers at Two Harcourt Buildings such as https: www.bars...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: The question of course is whether this can result in a firm being better when it comes to handling clients and cases or if it has no effect at all. It dawned on us straight off the bat with this statement on the front page of the firm's website: class="infoquo...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. class="infoquote "The firm now has offices in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen and is considered one of the largest law firms in Lincolnshire, East and South Yorkshire and the...


Woodstock Legal Services: With three words 'woodstock', 'legal' and 'services' there an many variables possible but all we checked such as www.woodstocklegal.co.uk were not active. There are several other things that stood out to us about this firm as well such as the professional https: www.w...


Stephanie Heijdra: We also hope it clarifies why Stephanie Heijdra was one of such legal professionals we decided to add to our own network.. We think that lends far more weight to the review so have decided to include such snippets this time. Even reviews are hard to come by which we'll c...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years so have met plenty on the way. We've always said to ignore average ratings and always read comments . Many still might prefer that official office visit when it comes to legal matters, but for businesses tha...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: That's always something to watch out for especially with multi-office firms or firms with non-unique names. So if there are no official good places to get information about the firm you're researching, the next obvious thing people try are the public boards such as h...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: 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 by our team of legal experts."< div> Conversely this may sound...


Brown and Co Solicitors: With each focusing on different areas of law those numbers do stand out to us, and we've been working in the legal industry for over twenty years ourselves. Other variants such as www.brownandco.co.uk take you to completely different firms and you can't have ampersands in w...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: class="infoquote "In a tough legal world we are here to fight your corner."< div> If you've scrolled through a dozen solicitor websites already today, you'll probably have noticed many of them have phrases like this which sound good but don't necessarily help yo...


Hill House Chambers: So always call the official phone number you have to check with the firm about such emails you've received. A quick note on navigation. provide you with expert legal advice ... class="infoquote "Are you a solicitor looking for a barrister to instruct, or a member...


Stowe Family Law: Whilst there will be some variations, most of the Stowe solicitor office locations we checked were open until 7pm each day and open on weekends as well. < p> align="center images l stowe_family_law-stowefamilylaw_co_uk.png Rose Fendlen Law: In this example these are all types of litigation matter. So the information doesn't really help you spot a difference. So whilst an individual solicitor saying they are a specialist in Family Law, Wills, Injuries, Property and Criminal Law doesn't make a whole lot of sense ...


Bell Lax Solicitors: The second is about how much experience the actual solicitor has. Typically the 'Blog' or 'News' section of a law firm's website is just another selection of articles saying how great the firm is or a single filler article showing that they thought about doing it, then quic...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: As a (ridiculously basic) example - it would obviously be better to use an expert lawyer who takes 25% of a hard won £5000 compensation win, than to use a less expert lawyer who takes 0% of a £2000 settlement. JPS Walker Solicitors don't just provide regular test...


The Legal Practice Ltd: The majority were clearly positive and a huge number focused on praising clear communication from the staff. Also be aware that if a firm has more than one office there may be separate reviews for each. So whilst other industries have moved on to the point where restaurant...


Youngs Solicitors: We have branch offices in Newcastle-under-Lyme (trading as Cooks Solicitors) and in Aylesford, Kent (trading as David Stinson & Co)."< div> A quick note on navigation as you may have noticed there are four brandings in total amongst this firm but with Youngs being the c...


Lefevres Law: This is usually around 25% and is called a 'conditional fee arrangement'. It's still very much a specialty though. There is another website at www.lefevre-litigation.co.uk which seems to be an individual site for their Aberdeen office. Since the 90's the government has made ...


David Stinson & Co: Be aware that ampersands ('&') can't be part of a web address so something like www.davidstinson&co.co.uk would not exist. Plus they focus on a single area of law - personal injury. But the solicitor may take a cut of your compensation should you win. This can often be mis...


Cooks Solicitors: She has a friendly and sympathetic approach. For example those firms stating 'founded in 1881' or even older dates. Of course, the first point of call for most people are the prior customer reviews when they are checking out any service provider. Most solicitors will b...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: If you want more specific information about your local office, you need to include the town name when you search - e.g. Now we come to a firm with several separate offices but different names for some of them. That's why even though the public review system has massive flaws...


My Law Matters: It's quite common for law firms to create separate trading names. The largest conveyancing firm in the country has over 1500 reviews on Google and just a two star rating. The client then handed tens of thousands of pounds over to the fraudster without bothering to check with...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: Alternative Dispute Resolution or Mediation companies can be fantastic too for hopefully taking the inherent confrontational aggressiveness out of a Divorce matter. If you see a firm stating they are 'one of the leading' without any further information to back up wha...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: It provides a wealth of data user-side such as all trading names, alternative offices, languages spoken - plus the aforementioned qualification dates and expertise of each solicitor within each registered law office. So why is that? On their own website of course there i...


OneLaw Chambers: Unlike other industries such as leisure or retail - law firms can end up with negative comments from their competitors, the losing side in a case, and even people who were told their case was nonsense. There have been a lot of negative moves by the government over the past t...


Beers LLP: The Law Society database also lets you see if a firm really does 'specialise' in your case type. This is understandable because seeing any negative reviews can often reveal a lot about a firm . Alongside their co-workers, the firm as a whole has a decent mix of seaso...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: So whilst we still are not keen on the whole CMC thing as a general rule, in this instance using a company like DisrepairClaim.co.uk may be the only available option for many. Many people assume that every litigation firm or compensation claim advertising lawyer will take ...


Simper Law Ltd: class="infoquote "our practice has quickly gained a good reputation within the legal world"< div> In most industries these days people praise the 'new'. That means most rely on the public review forums such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, Yell.com and Trustpilot. That ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: In fact the review on Yelp wasn't even about the correct firm, but the link to it still popped up in the top search results when searching for reviews about them. class="infoquote "We are happy to have an initial discussion with you, with no obligation and no charge."<...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: Make sure you keep aware of the site you're on and never discuss payment details in emails . all came up with the same site. class="infoquote "The team members are experts in their analytical approach to cases, probing the evidence, and being prepared to challenge sta...


Taylor Price Solicitors: But that's exactly what happens all too frequently with lawyers. We've seen that more times than should be expected.) Certainly there is a lot of praise and accompanying acronyms being thrown around their staff too. But whilst their business image and reputation among...


Michael Leighton Jones: Some even use identical images of people in suits smiling and shaking hands. Whilst we try not to offer direct legal advice on our site, it is probably very fair (almost obvious actually) to comment that a solicitor that works in a small niche area of law may have more expe...


Milners Solicitors: The best way we recommend to research any legal service provider is through their local law society website if possible. They have three offices in Leeds, Harrogate, and Pontefract. Add to that people messing with things like using Milner's instead and we think it's a ...
