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:

NJS Law Ltd: 'Experience' length of times can also be worded very differently on sites and we think NJS Law have done themselves a dis-service in how they've worded theirs. But you need to make sure you don't fall for any marketing jargon. Currently www.njslaw.com takes you to a US...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: One firm may say "established in 1881" while another says "40 years of experience". So they are involved in some of the biggest life changes people can experience. That's a good checklist of information. The importance of all this is because for many years now pro...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: class="infoquote "Specialising in Conveyancing, Landlord & Tenant, Immigration, Family Law, Wills Probate Trusts & LPA"< div> It can often be confusing when law firms state long lists of 'specialist' areas of law . That's alot more impressive than you m...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: class="infoquote "always on the end of the phone email when I needed to speak" "they kept me informed throughout, it was a very frustrating process" "helped make the experience as smooth as it could be" "Constantly updating us, providing advice, and explain...


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: However if you think about it no firm is ever going to claim to be the opposite - i.e. But a quick note on navigation. For example thousands of people have handed their entire house deposit when buying a house straight into a fraudster's bank account. This lets you gauge the...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: These days you can find a solicitor specialising in anything from Criminal Law to Housing Disrepair. 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. If yo...


A City Law Firm Ltd: Some firms may state they have '15 years combined experience' or '10 years experience within the firm' which might mean they have 5x staff each with only 3 years of experience. For example: class="infoquote "Named: Most innovative law firm, London"< div> cl...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: But according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you put any stock in company provided reviews. While many people are quite happy to provide bucketloads of detail in reviewing a restaurant - they are less likely to give helpful details about their bankruptcy, criminal d...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: The idea being that the older the firm, the more experienced it is. 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>. The opportunity fo...


Guardian Law: Please also note that the firm's original HR site at www.yourhrlawyer.co.uk has now moved to www.guardian.online as a separate resources. 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 someo...


Backhouse Solicitors: A quick note on navigation though. You would think that the development of the internet and every company having a full website about themselves with dozens of third party resources to provide independent information etc. So when you see offers like this, don't just pa...


WH Solicitors: The home office granted the application." "I am flying to UK on 1st Feb to see my children after a gap of 3 years!" "Can't describe how grateful I am for all his help in making my application for a Spouse Visa successful."< div> These snippets are typical of the ...

Two Harcourt Buildings: That's because whilst the head office is technically located in the same building, most barristers work from home or out of offices near their home. 2HB clearly has made no such misleading attempt with that almost slap-in-the-face attention grabbing statement. However barr...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: We've seen solicitor's praised for the great pizza and a criminal law firm criticised for not handling divorces. Alan Vincent shows a qualification date in 1978 with the son, Michael Vincent, qualifying in 2011. It dawned on us straight off the bat with this statement on the...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site. Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. class="infoquote "Our solicitors are ... ...


Woodstock Legal Services: class="infoquote "we pride ourselves on providing quality practical legal advice and a bespoke personalised service for our clients"< div> The normal first port of call for most people though is the public review boards such as https: www.google.com search?q=Wo...


Stephanie Heijdra: (There have been none against Stephanie at the time we checked.) All extra information such as qualifications or even clear specialist areas of law are not provided. As part of a chambers you'll find every barrister works quite individually anyway though. studied for a Law D...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: So is this firm any different? Obviously we think 'yes' as you can tell from our opener about them being a leading firm using a setup that is now increasingly common. For example whilst Cambridge has a full 5 stars, the London office has only 3.5 stars at the time we...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: Sometimes, like many consumers, we just have to go with our gut. class="infoquote "Immigration is our business but we strive to provide our services with integrity and care, and we build our professional relationships with clients and business partners based on...


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: It's clear someone didn't do that because one of the law firm's reviews states 5 stars and: class="infoquote "really upped it's game on the food recently"< div> The geniune reviews on the firm's legal services seem very positive. Obviously we have checked...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: A team of seasoned heads but with fresh legs is surely the best grouping you could hope for in an industry that is also struggling to balance between the old and new. The majority are very positive and (unusually) very long and well written with plenty of informat...


Hill House Chambers: We ran a poll a few years back and the number of people that trusted company provided customer testimonials wasn't even in the double digits. So instantly this reduced the amount of time and cost for huge numbers of clients to have their case dealt with. Hill House Chamber...


Stowe Family Law: So you can't just go on Google, type the firm name, and see all reviews in this instance. Sadly despite the rest of the world moving forward to an always available and flexible contact model - a huge number of law firms still operate on the 9am-5pm Mon-Fri timetable includ...


Rose Fendlen Law: This is important because there are many websites on the internet designed to look like a law firm, but are actually a marketing firm or data gathering service. Employment Law ... Housing Disrepair & Other Litigation"< div> Statements like these on various law firm's...


Bell Lax Solicitors: Again, the fact they bought both domains and made sure they were linked is actually something rare for a firm to do . The problem though, is that not all firms are talking about the same thing. Despite this, there are a handful of things we recommend you definitely che...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: We aim to maintain our traditional values whilst offering an effective and first class no win no fee service."< div> Again these statements from the JPS Walker website are types which practically every firm will make. We did find some reviews for JPS Walker: class...


The Legal Practice Ltd: You can end up with a 1-year-qualified lawyer from a 300-year-old brand name the same as you can end up with a 40-year-experienced lawyer from a 2-year-old firm. That's actually a much bigger deal than you might think. In our opinion the only 'years' number that matters is ...


Youngs Solicitors: The majority are very positive. But even variants such www.youngandco.co.uk are owned by different firms. As we've said before, that should really provide a best-of-both-worlds situation where clients get the personalised services they'd expect from a local firm, but with...


Lefevres Law: You can end up hiring a 40-year-guru lawyer from a law practice that set up 6 months ago. It's still very much a specialty though. People are https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-deposit " handing tens of thousand...


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. class="infoquote "David Stinson & Co is a trading name...


Cooks Solicitors: The experience levels of the solicitor running your case is the most crucial number out of the two. There are other law firms with 'cook' in them such as Cooks Lawyers and Mark Cook solicitors with similarly matching domain names. All trading names, office locations, la...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: We've been writing about and working with law firms for over twenty years now. Remember, though, that if you search for the firm name only when researching a law office you may get pages of general reviews about the company as a whole. That's just plain rude. Often after a s...


My Law Matters: They state these are reviews copy pasted from the Trustpilot website. When it comes to trading names of companies this can involve a little more work. But there are no negative implications we know of for firms having different brandings. Fentimans https: solicitors.lawsoc...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: So, does Frazer Coogans Solicitors provide clarification? class="infoquote "Recent figures issued by the Land Register of Scotland confirm Frazer Coogans to be the leading firm of solicitors in the South West of Scotland by number of properties registered in 2017."< di...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: We can only assume they think they are complaining about an actual company called 'QualitySolicitors'. With all this going for them, it was therefore strange to see the firm having an absolutely huge amount of negative reviews on the regular boards such as https: www...


OneLaw Chambers: Personally, we think people leaving negative reviews for those reasons completely undermines the whole goal of review forums. The biggest difference being that these are all very positive comments handpicked by the firm to appear on their website. Even more positivel...


Beers LLP: The branding is always Beers LLP but searches such as 'beers solicitors' or 'beer llp' still brought the correct firm to the top of the results. Unfortunately that needed to be said because there isn't much negative about Beers LLP for us to focus on. Alongside their ...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: Fairweather Claims Ltd is a claims management company and is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority"< div> As you can see from the above snippet from the firm's website, claims management companies are no longer meant to be unregulated industry pirates. Then there...


Simper Law Ltd: For example several are related litigation matters (e.g. class="infoquote "Between them, our solicitors have around 50 years' experience in law, and are passionate about working with all types of clients, both personal and commercial."< div> Most law firms will m...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: Normally this is done by simply emailing the client stating the bank details for payment have changed. It's very common. 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 abo...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: We've seen a sad trend for solicitors to start listing their favourite foods and pet's names in their profiles. For any firm listed you'll be able to see alternate contact details, all office locations, cases handled, languages spoken, and more. However for ULA Solicitors th...


Taylor Price Solicitors: For example, when most people are charged with a motoring offence they will immediately look for a 'specialist' firm . class="infoquote "Emails have been sent misusing the name and contact details of Taylor Price Solicitors. With so many possible keyboard slips when t...


Michael Leighton Jones: The most common being Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Facebook, Yelp, etc. For example, we did see one negative review about this firm on Google where the person gave one star and said simply that it was bad customer service. A good mix of ages, experience, and case focus. W...


Milners Solicitors: But it is fair to use it that way as long as the lawyers working within the firm are focused on their own niche areas of law - i.e. With any firm offering free consultations, it's always best if you can meet with the actual lawyer who would then be going on to run your case....


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: There have also been many changes to the types of solutions people can have beyond 'solicitors'. of the firm name) https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 121811 kamlesh-ratilal-samji" is listed as< a> having qualified as a solicitor in 2001. You are only getting...
