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:

Trojan Solicitors Ltd: You could also get a 40-year-experienced solicitor from a 1-year-old firm. The branding is fairly straightforward and stable so when you search for the various common phrases the correct firm shows up. Whilst we normally haven't used the firms we write about to handle a case...


CEL Solicitors: Simply emailing a CV to reception looks lazy. Especially firms in the property market where online scams are rampant.

General Notes: Usually if Legal Aid is possible we've mentioned it above, but you can always ask. For example one claiming CEL lawyers demanded &p...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: class="infoquote "Our experienced team is both dependable and professional."< div> When we see statements like this one when putting together an article on a more southern firm, we can simply go to the England Wales Law Society website and look up the experience ...


HooperHyde: Unfortunately that's not always easy when it comes to law firms. We've known firms with decades of good, reputable history in their area with less than a handful of reviews on the web. HooperHyde obviously stood out to us enough for them to become included on our si...


Antony Hodari Solicitors: If we do discover it, we'll let you know. class="infoquote "We specialise in acting for tenants where their landlord has failed to repair their property or protecting deposits as the law requires."< div> Normally when that's the case (just like the medical neglig...

Fair Result Ltd: Once you have decided you want a divorce, the application and Decree Nisi itself is relatively easy. That's where we saw that the firm was pretty new. We try to provide information, reviews, and comparisons across not just a range of solicitors - but across a range of altern...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: We obviously read through dozens of law firm's websites every day and the similarties between the content and the claims each make to set themselves apart as 'unique' can often end up blurring for us. That's not something we are so keen on. The official site we link to above...


Mckie Legal: A good resource we always recommend using in conjuction with your search is local law societies. Whilst we often have unique reasons for adding a firm to our network such as specialising in a ridiculously niche area of law or an alternative type of solution such as direct ...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: That way when you see statements about a firm having decades of experience - you can make sure that's not just one person at the firm hogging it all. Entering the full firm name plus location is usually necessary to make sure you see comments about the correct company onli...


Argue & Co Legal: They make a further point about this on the Argue & Co website: class="infoquote "Allan's vision for Argue & Co Legal is to establish a small firm, with small running costs and small client numbers; enabling the firm to focus on providing its clients with a first ...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Another phrase concept we seem to have imported from the US. Law firms typically receive less reviews than other services such as restaurants or garages. Springle & Co. Best of luck in your search! . The official website is www.springleandco.co.uk which we link to abo...


BLZ Solicitors: Here's a few of the things we noticed and hopefully some things you might be able to use as a bar to measure between others in the field. Not spending hours re-writing their website content. Not their secretary or junior staff who joined the firm yesterday. Their site is ht...


Hawkridge & Company: This firm is signed to The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473274 hawkridge-company-llp" they offer a huge range< a> of information about the firms they list. As already pointed out in the last paragraph, ...

Pacific Law: However we have worked with some of the key players in the past. This new offering is a specialist Estate Planning service including Wills and Probably matters. But these days we would say that if the firm can't offer video-chat services they are now getting behind the tim...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: That means we try to provide a range of various solutions AND firms that can provide them. We have over twenty years' experience flicking through law firm websites. Two examples are Jenna Hargreaves and Dilip Raveendran, lawyers at the firm who qualified in 2010. But I'm s...


Stenfield Solicitors: This includes Joan Thorpe-Anderson who qualified in 1993, Caspar Kennedy in 2008, Deepa Sevani in 2015, and so on. It's very important these days to keep fully aware of what site you are on and the legitimacy of the emails you receive. There are dozens including those a...


Khan Law: That can make them sound very different from the public reviews and they are of course only ever positive comments: class="infoquote "excellent at navigating me through my injury claim" "took care of all the legal hassle and fought hard to secure the best possibl...


DV Solicitors: DV Solicitors have other positive points. For motor offence court cases you may be better off with a Direct Access barrister. The Law Society of England & Wales is a simply excellent resources for background research . People have https: www.thetimes.co.uk sta...


Richmond Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "At Richmond Legal we do our very best to help our clients navigate through their legal issues with the least amount of stress."< div> The branding used by Suhail seems to be relatively new according to the companies house dates. At the time of wr...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: A quick note on navigation as the firm uses two quite generic words in the branding - i.e. Rather than simply only doing the one case types, specialists in Estate matters will often cover a much wider range of issues and provide a much wider range of services. c...


Bilkus & Boyle: You may also find that many of the lowest ratings often have nothing to do with the firm's services. For example, the review we saw criticising a Criminal Law firm for refusing to take on someone's Divorce case. Never discuss payment or bank details via email. Or the ...


Catteralls Solicitors: Thousands of people have lost millions of pounds to these fraudsters. You are just as likely to get a one year qualified newbie solicitor from a one hundred year old practice as you are to get a twenty year well-seasoned solicitor from a one year old law firm brand. Som...


Penerley Lawyers: If they do open later and at least some weekends, that's a bigger deal than you might think. We've been trying to find some of these specialists to add to our network and seeking those that seem to have a better grip on what type of legal professional today's modern busine...


The Search Bureau: That's not the sole basis for us promoting The Search Bureau across our network (check the https: www.searchbureau.co.uk community" page on their charity work< a>). Whilst the majority of articles we write are aimed at informing general consumers about legal practices or ...


Education Law Service Ltd: The official website we link to above is www.educationlawservice.com and www.educationlawservice.co.uk will redirect you there. Some other resources will pop up as well that might be helpful with some of the basics at least, including www.childlawadvice.org.uk Plus some...


Pump Court Chambers: class="infoquote "Cordelia was very friendly and put things into words that I could understand. The fact Pump Court Chambers state a target demographic of their local area is a good sign (to us at least) that they do not overstretch themselves or want to provide ...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: The reason we were so keen though, was simply from one opening line on their website: class="infoquote "When you want fast, convenient and savvy advice on employment law or setting aside a CCJ, think Mason Bullock Solicitors."< div> This may look like an ordinary ...


Lindsays Solicitors: Whenever we consider a firm for adding to our network there are several checks we perform to ensure we're not recommending a fraudulent or fake firm. (No, really.) So never just flick through star ratings, always read comments to get a more rounded view of the pros ...


Aspire Licensing: Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. However even then there are options such as hiring a barrister through the new Direct Access scheme instead of going through a solicitor. The same is sometimes true of debt matters. ...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: So stars don't always reflect real position in the minds of previous clients. Not so with OTS, who have a wide range of experienced staff such as Basil Gulbenkian (qualified in 1965), Veejay Sharma (2005), Oshin Shahiean (2013) right up to the almost brand new Angelique Ho...


Reid Black Solicitors: No firm is ever going to state 'we are brand new with not much experience and most of us just barely passed qualification' - are they? So how can you tell marketing jargon from verifiable claims? A good starting point is to check with the Law Society the firm is regis...


Howe + Co Solicitors: Hopefully we can point you in the direction of some universal ways to get to know a firm better before making your call. There are hundreds of reports of people https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1176297 property-for-sale-scam-fraud-warning-news-mortgage" ...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Not just for the legal industry either. Direct Access for the public to barristers has been a hugely welcome change in the legal system . For each case type in your area we will try to have a couple of good regular high street firms, a barrister, a specialist and oft...


Levins Solicitors: At a 200-year-old firm you may get a 1-year qualified solicitor acting for you. class="infoquote "For over 30 years now we have continued to build our reputation and to provide legal services of the highest professional standard."< div> The firms website has a co...


Aconveyancing Ltd: On the face of it though, Aconveyancing very much seem to have the experience, client reputation, and goals they claim. They cover a good range of matters including Right to Buy, New Builds, Shared Ownership, Help to Buy and Part Exchanges. providing some extra time for p...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: (Generally known as 'resellers'.) Those firms that cold-call you asking about an accident you've never had also have websites trying to get the same information from you. You can end up with a a 1-year-experienced solicitor from a 200-year-old firm, or a 40-year-experienced ...


RD Costings: The compensation settlements are also not purely based on lost wages or an individual injury such as you'd get with a whiplash claim after a car accident. Quite often a personal injuries practice will state no win, no fee and leave it at that. They're also not against ...


MGBe Legal: For some areas of law though, people really do want a specialist firm . Here are a few of our reasons for doing so. class="infoquote "At MGBe Legal we specialise in personal and business immigration."< div> We've discussed the pros and cons of using specialist...


McEwan Fraser Legal: Phone the official number in the headed paper you've already been sent out and ask about it. If you've used our site before for either searching for legal help or to check an article on a firm you're already thinking of, you'll know that we tend to cover more 'fringe' firms ...


Fieldfisher LLP: One thing most people agree on is that seeing 'established in 1881' or some such ancient date proudly stamped across a firm's website - no longer provides much sway. We therefore think there may be some confusion with the firm's name when people are searching to leave ...


APS Legal & Associates: class="infoquote "We are ... unequalled in providing the highest standard of service and quality of advice"< div> So does this carry over in to satisfied clients? In all honesty this is a far more difficult area to check up on when you're dealing with a large or...


Linkilaw Solicitors: Linkilaw is one of them and Linkilaw Solicitors is their newest version. That's why people use now whether researching a product they want to buy or a company they want to use. Never discuss your bank details with someone that calls you up. The flip side of this is that...


NV Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "Your claim will only be handled by a qualified solicitor from day one ... When a firm states it is a Personal Injury specialist it will usually then follow it up with a long list of case types covered including Professional Negligence, Slips T...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: This is important because some firms will use less-than-transparent (to put it mildly) wording to describe their experience when trying to sell you their services on their website. The address could also lead to some of the usual typos we see with hyphenated URls or those th...


DFA Law LLP: and they were all much like these snippets above. As you'll see, DFA Law have a wide range of experienced staff such as Peter Critchell and John Keeble who qualified as solicitors in 1985 and 1997 respectively. Always a good sign. I received excellent and thorough advice ...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: No, really. We're sure the firm's extra step of translating the site to cater for that has not gone unappreciated. So right off the bat it's obvious that we already have a high opinion of Ian Mallon Solicitors otherwise they wouldn't have been added to our network to ...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: The number of larger firms we know that still choose to work under the scheme are few and far between. A bold move for sure. So that's noteable to us. This was back when they were originally called Asghar & Co Solicitors. They display a wealth of user side information such ...
