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: The firm actually has way more experience than a lot of others. However you may not be getting the most out of such resources. But when it comes to law firms at least, you should never rely on those star ratings. There is a wealth of data on each registered firm and legal ...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: So they are involved in some of the biggest life changes people can experience. Never discuss payments via email. As for years of experience, there is often a big difference between any firm saying they have "40 years experience" versus "40 years of combined experi...


The Law Partnership Solicitors: Although many firms provide 'testimonial' pages, according to our last poll not very many of you trust them (8%). That's because there are problems and delays in a house transaction 99.9999% of the time. Common variants such as www.tlps.com or www.thelawpartnership.co.uk are...


Wilford Smith Solicitors: This one from the Wilford Smith site is very clear , indicating that they have been serving clients for over 40 years. This is very different from firms that claim ancient heritages such as 'established in 1881'. Because you could get a 1-year newbie solicitor from ...


Foster & Coleman Ltd: So what can you use to separate them and find the firm that fits your needs best? class="infoquote "Foster & Coleman are a dynamic law firm providing the very best advice and representation in relation to a wide range of practice areas."< div> This snippet fr...

Wildcat Law Ltd: Sound results."< div> Most companies use words such as modern, practical, friendly, professional, experienced, etc in their website text and it all sounds great. The most important part in our opinion though is the qualification dates of solicitors within the firm. ...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd: These days you can find a solicitor specialising in anything from Criminal Law to Housing Disrepair. class="infoquote "we cooperate with our trusted partners who can assist with accountancy, investment management, legal funding, franchise and other services"< div> . ...


A City Law Firm Ltd: That might sound an obvious thing to have but there are dozens of law firms that still have not moved to https on their website's yet. Surprisingly dispite the generic words in the name, when we typed 'a city law firm' into sites we were shown reviews and results for the cor...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors: So certainly their claims of decades of experience are well backed up . 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.buch...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: Therefore if you see a law firm has hardly any or even zero reviews online, that shouldn't necessarily be taken as a negative sign. There are still plenty of law firms charging people money before getting to sit down with an actual solicitor. The answer isn't completel...


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: The most common are those https: www.itv.com news calendar 2021-12-16 ripon-man-scammed-out-of-house-deposit-by-fraudsters-posing-as-courier" targeting property buyers and sellers< a> due to the massive amounts possible to be scammed. Backhouse Solicitors actually d...


WH Solicitors: The amount of expertise and experience is a huge factor in selecting a firm. That's not to dismiss larger firms with multiple specialists on board. class="infoquote "Unfortunately immigrating to the UK is not simple. But typically the fraudsters targeting law ...

Two Harcourt Buildings: However barristers in the same countries are under The Bar Standards Board (BSB) which we've historically had much less positive words to say about. A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible representation. Hopefully that will change soon ...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years now and can certainly remember a lot more 'XZY & Son' brands being around. Make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments via email. . Some variants such as www.mjvlaw.com are owned by different...


Bridge McFarland LLP: Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. Some people have handed over the entire deposit of their house to a fraudulent bank account simply because they received an official looking email saying the payment details had changed. That's a g...


Woodstock Legal Services: 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. In most review articles we don't bother including them for the reasons just stated. Clea...


Stephanie Heijdra: That's because reviews left underneath the chamber's name will be about one specific lawyer within it. studied for a Law Degree at the University of Liverpool and was awarded her LLB (Hons), enabling her to start her bar professional training course (BPTC) whilst simultaneou...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors: Most of the variants we tried brought up the correct site in the top search results spot but many brought up adverts for other firms. We've always said to ignore average ratings and always read comments . We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years so have ...


Thaxted Legal Ltd: So you'd think we'd always have an arsenal of tools to research any firm we come across. We've seen law firms with great ratings for their new restaurant menu and negative comments about their parking machines. class="infoquote "We are specialist immigration firm ba...


Smith and Graham Solicitors: There is no ampersand in domain names so www.smith&graham.co.uk can't exist and currently no firms are using variants such as 'www.smithgraham.co.uk' either. The first is the expertise of the staff, and more importantly - their experience. The best resource we've fou...


Brown and Co Solicitors: Plus dozens of review pages both monitored and unmonitored. 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 s...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: For example: class="infoquote "provide expert timely advice and communicate in a way that is clear and responsive to your requirements"< div> Again, no law firm is going to claim the opposite. Put that all together though, and it backs up the firm's claim on the...


Hill House Chambers: Prior to access being available you had to pay a solicitor to hire a barrister to deal with certain court matters. So the fact this company receives praise from both direct public clients as well as other law firms that have used them to handle their own cases - is certain...


Stowe Family Law: We always recommend speaking to someone at the firm before going ahead. But more importantly there are details about the staff including their speciality areas of law and the number of years they've been practising. At the time of writing the full list of office l...


Rose Fendlen Law: We've worked with law firms for over 20 years and the things we look for on a law firm's website when deciding whether to include them on our network are probably very different from what members of the public or even the law firms themselves think are the important ...


Bell Lax Solicitors: The English Welsh law society provides a wealth of user-side data including all trading names of a firm, all office locations, any languages spoken by staff, plus the expertise and qualification dates of registered solicitors. By that we mean most legal companies in the U...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: That's because whilst people are more than happy to jump online and let people know about their lovely waitress or great local car wash - they are far less likely to rush onto the internet and broadcast about their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or life-destroying accident. Ag...


The Legal Practice Ltd: They typically provide any alternate trading names, all office locations, languages spoken, case types handled, and most importantly - the qualification dates and specialties of each solicitor within the firm. If you type those three words into a search engine, the correct ...


Youngs Solicitors: There are a huge number of things that can go wrong which are completely out of your solicitor's control. Sometimes it's as little as having received an official looking email that said the bank details for payment have changed. This is something we've covered before in ou...


Lefevres Law: If you've already been through a dozen or so other legal company websites today looking for a good fit for you and your case - that's something you may have noticed quite quickly. There are lots of other little bits and pieces around the web that most regular consumers may n...


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 . They are therefore obviously going to be very positive and sadly they rarely contain much helpful information about what the actual good points...


Cooks Solicitors: That can surely only be a positive thing? class="infoquote "Each matter we deal with is given personal attention by a solicitor ..."< div> A quick note on navigation again though as this firm has it's own official site at www.cooks-solicitors.co.uk (with a hyphen)...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd: That's just plain rude. class="infoquote "We provide a number of payment options: No Win No Fee, Legal Aid, Monthly payments, Fixed fee payment and other options."< div> Law firms tend to focus on writing lots of good sales pitch statements on their website. The b...


My Law Matters: A good place to get information on this is actually a firm's local law society. We can honestly say that in the past two decades we've never seen that happen . Sadly thousands of people https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1497866 Lloyds-bank-scam-warning-frau...


Frazer Coogans Ltd: Frazer Coogans Ltd is also registered to which again may sound like something most solicitors do, but they really don't. Some claiming hundreds of years of history behind...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: We can only assume they think they are complaining about an actual company called 'QualitySolicitors'. That's totally up to each individual to decide after careful research and having spoken to someone at the firm about the case. A huge mix of seasoned gurus along side fre...


OneLaw Chambers: OneLaw certainly has at least one other independent body backing up their claims as well, being https: www.legal500.com firms 232573-onelaw-chambers 232407-london-england " listed in the Legal 500< a>. This is due to the fact most testimonials are obtained via some...


Beers LLP: So how can you tell if a firm has a good amount of experience if the founding dates are not a good point of reference? Luckily in England & Wales the Law Society has an excellent website with loads of good user-side data available. However that doesn't mean we ignore ...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk: Most of the time unregulated claims resellers hide out on social media sites like Facebook. To sum up, working with a CMC is an aberration for us but we wouldn't do it unless we thought it would help people. In fact, solicitors themselves https: www.legalfutures...


Simper Law Ltd: Tech companies, restaurants, social media providers, and so on are always on the look out for the next new thing. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 594891 simper-law-limited" check out the page< a> for any firm registered with them you'll be shown alternat...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: A quick note on navigation as the firm branding is mainly 'Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors' but the web address and logo follows the 'RM Solicitors' style. Reynolds Macdonald are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have the most...


ULA Solicitors Ltd: It would be wonderful if all company reviews could be like that as you can get a real sense of the positive negative themes of each firm that way. class="infoquote "The team members are experts in their analytical approach to cases, probing the evidence, and being prep...


Taylor Price Solicitors: This can then make them feel less capable. A really great resource to help with this is any local law society a firm might have joined. Legal professionals are treated very differently than services such as restaurants or hairdressers. Surely an ideal mix for any legal serv...


Michael Leighton Jones: Others include Peter FitzGerald who joined the UK legal system in 1996, right up to Sarah Price in 2003. One of the best resources for estimating the experience levels of the actual solicitors at a firm is their local law society. However this offer seems to be for Mic...


Milners Solicitors: If they sound a little different or slightly more zealous than the reviews you typically see on third party boards such a Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com or Yelp - we'd agree, but that's actually very common. They also handle commercial matters including Business Disputes, Comm...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd: But what do prior clients think of the firm? class="infoquote "friendly, efficient and well informed" "explained everything and more as I asked a lot of questions" "Great advice and service from Kam"< div> Those snippets are from testimonials posted on t...
