NJS Law Ltd: Around 90% of the articles on this site are about firm's who are not current advertisers or paying us anything. If any of us received an email saying tens of thousands of pounds of ours suddenly needed to be sent to a totally different bank account, we'd pick up the phone ...
Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: That's a good checklist of information. If a firm's is promoting the idea of their brand being 200-years old, it's obviously meant to infer they are incredibly experienced. One firm may say "established in 1881" while another says "40 years of experience". We've genuinely ...
The Law Partnership Solicitors: While that may have meant something several decades ago, it is no longer any measure of a company's promise. So please keep aware of where you are and who you're communicating with.. 'Divide the number of case types by the number of solicitors' is in no way a perfect rule....
Wilford Smith Solicitors: 'Wilford Smith & Co' simply seems to be an older name still dotted around, not a different practice. class="infoquote "You can be confident that by instructing us, we will take care of all your legal matters throughout your lifetime, providing creative solutions and p...
Foster & Coleman Ltd: If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 630363 foster-coleman-limited" the page for any firm< a> you'll see other names they might go by, contact details, staff names, languages spoken, areas of law covered, and even qualification dates of the solicitors...
Wildcat Law Ltd:
All this is hugely important due to the number of scams targeting law firm clients. 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). The combinati...
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.
class="infoquote "The high standards of our personalised client care form...
A City Law Firm Ltd: Don't make assumptions because for all you know it may be an award for best logo design and nothing to do with their actual law experience. So if you see clearer statements like those on A City Law Firm's site then tack on a couple of extra brownie points.

Buchanan & Co Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We are a long established firm of Solicitors and Conveyancers who are proud to serve the communities of Staveley, Chesterfield, Kiveton Park and Sheffield."< div>

Backhouse Solicitors: That's solicitors joining the profession in each of the last four decades.
A quick note on navigation though. You can get a 1-year newbie solicitor from a 200-year-old firm and a 40 year veteran lawyer from a 1-year-old law practice brand. You would think that the de...
WH Solicitors: The number of reviews that are for the completely wrong firm (which we'll cover in an moment) are just ridiculous. We've long praised this organisation's consumer offering over the years. Plus Google sometimes only returns reviews for a firm if you put in a location so you'd...
Two Harcourt Buildings: These variant firms are separate teams of barristers despite sharing the same address.
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.
class="info...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: If that's 2x solicitors with 25 years' experience = still pretty good and making sense. We've seen solicitor's praised for the great pizza and a criminal law firm criticised for not handling divorces. We therefore turn to the same places most consumers do which is the publ...
Bridge McFarland LLP: 8 staff x 5 years experience = 40). Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. Photos of people in suits smiling and shaking hands with bits of paper in their hands are very nice, but they don't help you decide one firm from the other. Howev...
Woodstock Legal Services: Clearly we ended up with a positive impression of their law practice otherwise we would not have added them to our network.

class="infoquote "...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: You may be surprised in this day and age to learn that there are still hundreds of such firms about the UK with antiquated views on women in the workplace and even an aversion to the internet. How do you check that? The best resource we've found so far online is the website ...
Thaxted Legal Ltd: etc. But we think it's even more important for Immigration because the laws involved are constantly changing and can often involve the laws of various other countries as well.
So if there are no official good places to get information about the firm you're researchi...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see . Since Covid hit we've seen a lot of law firms go under and a new wave of single proprietor practices has started pushing across the UK. Make sure you're on the correct site and don't disc...
Brown and Co Solicitors: The full official website is www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk with www.brownandcosolicitors.com redirecting you there. That's a lot of experience. no other firm is going to say they are 'inexperienced').

Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: Even better: get an actual solicitor with both. So here are some of the things we noticed and why they stand out to us as a firm that has worked in the industry for over 20+ years. The things we use to evaluate a firm are probably things most potential clients do as well. ...
Hill House Chambers: On some occasions this can mean you're paying two firms for the job one could do. There are accountants that can help with tax law matters, budget will writing firms, paralegal services, and so on. Typically we refer, like most consumers, to the third party boards such as Go...
Stowe Family Law: < p> align="center images l stowe_family_law-stowefamilylaw_co_uk.png
Rose Fendlen Law: Sadly Google was showing adverts at the top for some of our searches so watch out for that. We've covered the differences between the various types of litigation funding fees cost reclaiming in other articles but the short version is that '100% compensation' and 'no win no f...
Bell Lax Solicitors: The second is about how much experience the actual solicitor has. Sometimes the law office provides testimonials on their website.
class="infoquote "We aim to find the best and most effective outcomes for our clients' problems while at the same time providing quality ...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: Some go really overboard trying to claim ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1771'. These days with the internet people can instead search for the best representation for their particular issue from firms all over the country.
Only a few decades ago people...
The Legal Practice Ltd: Just try looking up the star ratings of several other property firms in your area. One very common thing we come across on law firm websites are founding date claims.
The official website is www.thelegalpractice.co.uk but again, www.thelegalpractice.com is owned by a ...
Youngs Solicitors: Each branding has it's own local office and website too.
Practically every law firm that handles property matters has negative reviews about their handling of it.

Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd:
However the best website for getting information about a law firm in our opinion is The Law Society of England & Wales. We have over 200 firms in our database at the moment and only 22 of them will help with Legal Aid. We've been writing about and working with law fi...
My Law Matters: But how old a firm's branding is quite meaningless if a 200-year old firm gives you a 1-year experienced solicitor to handle your case. saying?

"efficient and dedicated staff"
"really impressed by...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: For some reason, thousands of people have handed over their entire house deposit to fraudsters simply because they received an email telling them the bank payment details had changed. That's probably why independent review forums such as
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: But rather than simply place an extra logo on each law firm's website - they all put the words quality solicitors in front of their name. The QS site is https secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms.

OneLaw Chambers: With that in mind we always recommend people read actual comments left rather than simply flicking through the star ratings.
For example, the creation of 'no win, no fee' arrangements for litigation matters such as personal injury, medical negligence, housing disrepai...
Beers LLP: But you can always end up with a 1-year-qualified lawyer from the 200-year-old firm in the same way you could be provided a 40-year-guru lawyer from a 1-year-old legal practice.
A quick note on navigation as whilst the firm's name is quite unique, it could potentially p...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: That means they do not have solicitors on staff but will take your details, discuss your case, then find a solicitor from their own panel of firms to process the matter on your behalf. The second means that there are no fees to pay whether you win OR lose. There are plenty...

ULA Solicitors Ltd: But the fact they still work with Legal Aid at all these days is something very unique. Reading between the lines, it's probably safe to assume they have confidence in their expertise and experience to handle such tasks. ULA Solicitors https: www.ulasolicitors.com news-a...
Taylor Price Solicitors: TaylorPrice Solicitors https: taylorprice.co.uk our-team.html" tick all those boxes< a> and have avoided going over the top such as listing their pet's names and favourite film titles. A firm we've been aware of for a long time with staff we've conversed with numerous tim...
Michael Leighton Jones: That's a bigger deal than you might think. However this offer seems to be for Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors' whole case range. A good mix of ages, experience, and case focus. There are still plenty of firms out there that will charge a consultation fee or even full h...
Milners Solicitors: We did see a few negative ratings but the comments were not particularly helpful as to why such a rating had been left.
This becomes important to note because the firm handles property matters which https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-emai...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: "I" have a vast amount of experience. So since the owner of this firm states a solicitor background, we looked him up on the local Law Society website.
