The Law Partnership Solicitors: The comments for TLP are very positive . "the law partnership solicitors coventry").

Wilford Smith Solicitors: You will also have to https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 605433 ws-strategic-ltd" look up that name< a> if researching the firm on The Law Society website. compared to testimonials provided by the company themselves. This is because the majority of people involved...
Foster & Coleman Ltd: People have no problem jumping online to type their thoughts about a local pizza place or lamp store - they are less likely to rush to tell everyone how their bankruptcy, messy divorce, or criminal law case is going. There were some comments available when we looked: ...
Wildcat Law Ltd:
All this is hugely important due to the number of scams targeting law firm clients. For example this snippet from the Wildcat Law front page:
class="infoquote "Sensible and practical advice. Sound results."< div>
Most companies use words such as modern,...
LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: So what are the independent forums saying?
class="infoquote "highly professional and super helpful"
"professional and approachable, explaining anything I wasn’t sure about"
"extremely efficient with clear and concise communication"
"very knowledgeable, expe...
A City Law Firm Ltd: Just a tip though - make sure to actually read through comments rather than rely on average star ratings when researching any law practice. Today's article also focuses on things you can do to research a firm you're thinking of using. Surprisingly dispite the generic words i...
Buchanan & Co Solicitors: Also while the firm's branding uses an ampersand, such characters https: uniregistry.com blog post the-symbols-of-brand-domain-confusion" don't exist< a> in web addresses so variants such as www.buchanan&co.co.uk will not work. In fact, they could probably do with updatin...
Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Always remember though that ampersands cannot be in web addresses (e.g. Sometimes over just a single official-looking email telling them the bank account details to pay their house deposit into have changed.. The answer isn't completely black and white, but certainly there...
Guardian Law: This may provide a whole extra set of https: guardian.online blog " free help articles< a> which might be of use. https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 471765 guardian-law-limited" For this firm< a> you'll see the two principal solicitors Claire Scanlan and Nichol...
Backhouse Solicitors: 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. (That's mighty praise from our Scottish firm!) It means that when you see statements like this (above) on a lawyer's website you can actually v...
WH Solicitors:
Does this translate into happy clients? Sadly for all solicitors, barristers, paralegals, and other legal practitioners across the UK there are not always a lot of public reviews to check out. (And that's tough to say living in one of them!)
class="infoquote "...
Two Harcourt Buildings: Especially if there isn't much extra independent information to base a decision on instead.
. But still make sure to flick through and chat with a few different options for your case type before settling on someone. Two Harcourt Buildings may be a setup you're not familiar ...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: For example, there is a big difference between a firm saying it has '50 years experience' versus '50 years of combined experience' or even '50 years experience within the firm'. Tens of thousands of pounds have ended up in the pockets of fraudsters. That's well over 50 yea...
Bridge McFarland LLP: Always bear these sorts of things in mind. So what about the independent boards such as https: www.google.com search?q=bridge+mcfarland+llp+lincoln&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsYpYdagcP_1nfbujMAQ2Q3Y7A1iYw%3A1663333683455&ei=M3UkY4a5G5T4gQbRzLTwCg&oq=bridge+mcfa...
Woodstock Legal Services: There was also only one similarly named firm of Woodstock Solicitors.
class="infoquote "You will find us approachable, straight-forward and responsive."< div>
Unfortunately there is often a lot of sales-pitchy language on any law firm's website.
There are s...
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. Unfortunately with the direct access scheme being so new it may not be something you've heard of yet and hopefully more informa...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Summerfield Browne are therefore a prime match of what we need on our own law network.
If you check the information https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 546848 summerfield-browne-limited?Solicitors=True" for this firm< a> you'll see a range of ...
Thaxted Legal Ltd:
class="infoquote "We are specialist immigration firm based in London, UK, experienced and dedicated to providing quality service to corporate and private clients."< div>
This snippet from the Thaxted Legal Ltd website says exactly the same sort of things you'd s...
Smith and Graham Solicitors: They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see .
That's becomes even more important to remember due to the firm handling property matters which have been hit but huge amounts of fraud in recent years. But overall the weight of the...
Brown and Co Solicitors: To check the individual experience amongst law professionals there is a great resource on The Law Society of England & Wales' website. Our poll from a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted testimonials provided by companies on their website. Plus dozens of r...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: (More on that later.) Staff profiles are something we always recommend law firms to provide and these are excellent examples of the information consumers really want. But hopefully you'll be able to check up on what prior clients thought of the firm's communication and exp...
Hill House Chambers: and represent you in court."< div>
We've obviously summarised their much longer description https: www.hillhousechambers.co.uk directaccess" found here< a> where you can also read about the specific matters they can help with and legal aid applications.

Stowe Family Law: Some people believe they will be 'lost in the pack' at a large firm, whilst others think the weight of a large firm behind them will increase their changes of a successful outcome. But you've probably come across a dozen law firms that claim to be the 'best', 'specialist' or...
Rose Fendlen Law: Personal Injury ... Because the actions needed for each of the case titles quoted can follow the same general direction and court proceedings if necessary. This is important because there are many websites on the internet designed to look like a law firm, but are actually ...
Bell Lax Solicitors: There were no common themes amongst the few negative reviews. Then the third is simply them adding up the years of experience of all staff members together. Typically the 'Blog' or 'News' section of a law firm's website is just another selection of articles saying how great...
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. Unfortunately, though, when it comes to law firms you...
The Legal Practice Ltd: Many of the articles we write will focus on an individual law office in order to make comparisons, clarifications, and provide tips on how to research any common queries that come up during your general search for legal help.
Obviously we think highly of the firm bec...
Youngs Solicitors: The only negative comments we saw related to the length of time a house sale took. It may seem odd for a legal practice to claim they are 'specialists' when they list a wide range of case types handled at the firm. That doesn't mean we love everything about them. This is so...
Lefevres Law: Either way, just be aware of which site you are on when searching the web and never discuss payments via email.
.
class="infoquote "At Lefevres we have access to a number of different funding solutions that can be tailored to the requirement of our clients and are hap...
David Stinson & Co: Some firms provide testimonials on their website which are comments they've typically obtained by direct request and often using a full feedback form with specific questions. For a name that's been around for a while, it may appear as though the number of reviews doesn't ref...
Cooks Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Dianne Sumner has over twenty-five years' experience of helping people move house. Not their own clients. So make sure to read the reasons for any negative rating that has been left. It also means you've got the best of both worlds - i.e. She is in c...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: We've been writing about and working with law firms for over twenty years now. Having the resources of a larger firm can also have advantages . So how do Swain & Co look on the public forums?
class="infoquote "I sent an email request and was answered with the hour a...
My Law Matters: This can sometimes cause search issues but the variants we tried such as 'my legal matters' still brought up the correct firm .
class="infoquote "Our head office was established in 1986"< div>
Compared to the huge number of legal offices claiming 'established in...
Frazer Coogans Ltd: There are many advantages to using alternatives such as Direct Access barristers which can save considerable time and money depending on the case you need representing in court. The most common typo we'd expect of www.frasercoogans.co.uk .com also does not seemed to be o...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co:
One of the best resources for finding out the specialties and experience of the individual solicitors within a firm is the local law societies. We can only assume they think they are complaining about an actual company called 'QualitySolicitors'. There is a simply huge ...
OneLaw Chambers: So how do One Law's barristers fare on those:
class="infoquote "great communication and outcome highly professional"
"exceptionally professional, friendly, ready to attend to your call at anytime of the day"

Beers LLP:

...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk: The first means that if your case loses you have nothing to pay. The main aim (we would hope) of housing claims is to get your living conditions improved. To get the mould destroyed. Unless the law firm you're looking at states both on their website - it is more than likely ...
Simper Law Ltd: There is also a firm called Simpler Law based in Lincoln which handles Estate Planning matters too.
You'll also be shown the qualification dates and specific case expertise of each solicitor within the firm. That means the official website matches using www.simperlaw.c...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: The one review we did see:
class="infoquote "provided a really helpful and professional service to help me make a claim"< div>
was obviously very positive . A 1-year-old firm might have several 40-year veterans on staff .
A quick note on navigation as the f...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: If you check out the page on the law society site for ULA Solicitors Ltd you'll see the qualification dates and case focus of each solicitor within the firm. ULA apparently started out with just a single case type in mind, having set up as:
class="infoquote "... Those ...
Taylor Price Solicitors: One of the solicitors https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 32344 ruby-khalid-bhatti-obe" has an OBE< a>. One last cut from their website that you may have missed:

Michael Leighton Jones: This is very different to a firm that offers a wide range of case types handled, but ALL of their solicitors try to handle ALL the different types of cases. What can you use?
class="infoquote "With offices in Bargoed and Tredomen, Ystrad Mynach, near Caerphilly in So...
Milners Solicitors: After more than a week of reviewing specialist firms, we're getting back to a more regular general practice setup with Milners Solicitors. Some have a bit more background about their work life. We always recommend reading actual comments rather than flicking through rating...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: So since the owner of this firm states a solicitor background, we looked him up on the local Law Society website. So how can you tell 'good low-cost help' from simply 'cheap help'?
class="infoquote "I have vast, hands-on experience dealing with a variety of Wills, Trus...
