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:

Branch Austin McCormick LLP: Firms that handle a single case type call themselves 'specialists' giving the impression that firms handling a wider range of matters are not so. When you accidentally type the wrong address into your browser bar , you can be taken to a fake site easily. The legal ind...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd: These days there's a huge number of firms who have chosen to focus on a handful of sometimes completely unrelated case types such as bankruptcy and probate together. class="infoquote "In the fast changing, increasingly complex and highly politicised area of Immigr...


CEL Solicitors: The firm's branding is quite clear and unique so searches for their name and the usual variants (e.g. The article we wrote yesterday was about a firm that had a negative review because the person felt the firm's office was a little 'hard to find'. We should know - we've been...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: class="infoquote "approach was both professional and personal throughout the whole process" "Numerous complications arose ... The full branding of this firm is Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents with the official website being www.fultons-scotland.co.uk which ...


HooperHyde: A quick note on navigation. Certainly the parent company CLP has considerable resources behind it and a huge number of well experienced solicitors . The official site we link to above is www.hooperhyde.com with www.hooperhyde.co.uk not currently redirecting you there....

Antony Hodari Solicitors: If you check on https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 532203 antony-hodari-holdings-limited?Solicitors=True" the page for this firm< a> you'll see their solicitors have a wide range of experience covering almost all of the last four decades. There s...


Fair Result Ltd: There will be no cost to you for this work."< div> As free consultations go this is also quite a unique offer within the arena of Family Law. That's where we saw that the firm was pretty new. Not every legal matter requires a full-on solicitor. At the moment h...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: The official site is https secure for filling your personal details into their contact forms. The official site we link to above is www.dylannair.com however www.dylannair.co.uk does not seem to be currently owned by anyone. That's a decent offer by comparison. It may be a...


Mckie Legal: Not vice versa. Knowing the correct name for a firm is also useful when background checking about them as that will be the name registered with organisations and government agencies. Normally we would have a mini-rant about 'protecting clients from scammers', but that's...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: This firm is registered with https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 546047 jacobs-law-solicitors-ltd" The Law Society of England & Wales< a> which is the best we've seen with a huge amount of user-side data being shown. class="infoquote "Our lawyers are friend...


Argue & Co Legal: The second part of that snippet though is only possible if the firm has enough expertise and experience to make sure the case runs efficiently. In this instance you're left to rely on the firm's own about us page: class="infoquote "Allan previously worked for...


Springle & Co Solicitors: Those who did any future planning would typically get a basic will written and maybe take out life insurance (while taking advantage of whatever inheritance-tax-avoiding setup was available at the time). Always keep aware of what site you're on and who you're chatting with -...


BLZ Solicitors: In our opinion you shouldn't count repetitive wording or stock images on a site against any of them.. That's not the case though and there are hundreds of firms out there that still charge full rates just to meet with them. A last sales-pitchy statement from the firm's site:...

Hawkridge & Company: A good range of seasoned experience alongside fresh blood and hopefully new ideas. Most firms around the UK are signed up to at least one law society. The official website we link to above is www.hawklaw.co.uk with www.hawklaw.com being about some WWII land renovation proj...


Pacific Law: Even one extra Saturday a month is actually more rare than you think, so give a firm credit for that if it's available. This is an area of law where we do think a specialist firm can be of benefit, the same as with something like Motor Offences. Being able to communicate thr...


ABS Lawyers Ltd: Of course, no firm would ever state the opposite of these sentiments. That means we try to provide a range of various solutions AND firms that can provide them. Lastly there are firms that write statements such as the one from ABS Lawyers' site above saying they have ...


Stenfield Solicitors: We've seen a law firm with a five star review for their pet-friendly cafe. A last word from the firm's site: class="infoquote "98% of clients said they were happy with the result we achieved for them"< div>. class="infoquote "83% of new clients are recommended ...


Khan Law: But you also get firms that cover a huge range of case types that call themselves specialists as well. So how can you research a law firm or solicitor a bit more? Unfortunately people in Scotland are at a disadvantage when it comes to independent information about their lega...


DV Solicitors: However both www.deovolente.com and www.deovolente.co.uk are owned by other firms. The official website we link to above is www.dvsolicitors.com and at the time of writing www.dvsolicitors.co.uk also redirects you there. Never discuss payments or bank details over email. ...


Richmond Legal Ltd: Over the past two decades the number of law firms willing to work for the drastically reduced pay that Legal Aid provides has dwindled. Law societies can be national, countywide, or attached to a large population city. Sadly the tradition of 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours f...


Trust Inheritance Ltd: With Wills & Probate though, this idea of specialism goes an extra step further. 'trust' and 'inheritance'. 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 ...


Bilkus & Boyle: You may also find that many of the lowest ratings often have nothing to do with the firm's services. We usually can't find specific pages on a firm but if you https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=bilkus&Postcode=&type=firm" search a firm's name on ...


Catteralls Solicitors: Spending all day on the phone repeating the same (often upsetting) story to several solicitors is not ideal. Potential clients tend to rely more on the independent public offerings such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yell, Yelp etc. Whilst getting on with your solicitor...


Penerley Lawyers: Unfortunately this has not really spread to law firms as much as everywhere else. 'Less-stuffy' is a phrase we're seeing pop up more and more in newer firm's sales pitches about their services. If they do open later and at least some weekends, that's a bigger deal than you m...


The Search Bureau: With just a few fake emails the scammers can seem to convince home owners to hand over tens of thousands of pounds to a completely different bank account. We saw a few other related names including Premier Searches Limited and Conveyancing Compare, but they all have their ...


Education Law Service Ltd: That's still much better of course than charging you full price just for an introductory discussion about whether they can even help you. Another statement on their front page that stands out is: class="infoquote "Evening and weekend appointments can be arranged."< d...


Pump Court Chambers: A quick note on navigation as there are many chambers using 'pump court' in their name. Again, though, a little thing like this impresses us because so many law firms don't bother spending the extra £5 to buy related domains to help protect their clients from easy fr...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: This niche focus and lengthy experience clearly makes for a efficient and effective service if the public reviews are anything to go by: class="infoquote "professional, personable and has always been discreet and sensitive" "go out of their way to help people...


Lindsays Solicitors: class="infoquote "They always kept me informed and showed a very professional, yet extremely caring manner" "made a stressful time a lot easier" "Lindsays were able to identify the correct people to sue from a difficult and jumbled set of circumstances"< div>...


Aspire Licensing: For example a Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering, Level 2 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace, Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work, and so on. They handle what would be considered legal matters, and the term 'advisors' is used. Much more than a firm that only c...


OTS Solicitors Ltd: Common errors we would expect such as dropping the extra 's' (i.e. Making it more of a group of specialists under one banner, rather than a law firm with a few solicitors trying to cover everything at once. OTS' claims about their extensive media coverage are certainly true...


Reid Black Solicitors: Never discuss bank details or payments via email. But Reid Black state they will give you a free interview for 'any legal issue' which is a lot less common than you might think. If you compare it to https: www.lawsoc-ni.org reid-black-solicitors-limited528" the page abo...


Howe + Co Solicitors: It can be quite difficult to dig out the pertinent details in order to make what feels like an informed decision. class="infoquote "Howe + Co Solicitors are a leading London law firm specialising in complex litigation both in the UK and internationally"< div> Un...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: Certainly it's a very likely part of the reason he's so well regarded. The website is https secure for entering your personal details in the contact form. However, we couldn't get it to work. However there are many situations where going direct to a barrister yourself...


Levins Solicitors: Exactly what most people would like to have in a firm handling their case. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 476207 levins-solicitors" check out the page< a> about Levins Law on their site you'll see alternate contact details, SRA regulatory status, staff...


Aconveyancing Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent website full of user-side data for you to flick through. made for a very smooth stress free experience" "Always professional and thorough, always prompt in their response."< div> Despite us saying conveyancers g...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd: But the start date of any law firm is not the same as having experience. Whilst the majority of legal https: www.thisismoney.co.uk money mortgageshome article-3385825 Sarah-Ritchie-saved-45-000-dream-home-lost-devastating-new-scam.html" scams at the moment involve propert...


RD Costings: class="infoquote "RD Costings have the experience and knowledge to secure a payment in circumstances where an individual application would not necessarily be successful."< div>. The main site we link to above is www.rdcostings.co.uk, currently www.rdcostings.com does n...


MGBe Legal: The page also lists Gabriella as a consultant for SLIG Law LLP, Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, and Fadiga & Co Ltd. The main website is currently www.mgbelegal.com as we've linked to above. Also, MGBe Legal is the trading name of M&G Bettiga Limited if you see it co...


McEwan Fraser Legal: Both in text and with little badges further down the page. This includes Best Estate Agent Edinburgh and Scotland (AllAgents 2020) and Best Estate Agency in Scotland (Sunday Times), class="infoquote "We specialise in the sale of both residential and commercial properti...


Fieldfisher LLP: Normally when a firm gets that big, they move into practically every area of law and push out smaller clients in favour of big corporate clients. As there are no extra generic terms such as 'fieldfisher law' or 'fieldfisher legal' to cause confusion, and with most peop...


APS Legal & Associates: Unlike a single fixed firm with maybe a dozen employees, it's much harder to use testimonials or independent reviews when judging the merits of a nationwide collective of consultants. This is both more helpful in pinpointing where the praise is due , but also unhelpful in p...


Linkilaw Solicitors: Sadly there is a large chunk of business owners who will whole heartedly accept what a YouTube vlogger tells them is the correct way to do things. I really loved working with people there, they are truly professionals." "transparent in regards to how much time it would ...


NV Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "If you have been involved in an accident or sustained an injury, we can help secure the compensation, rehabilitation and support you deserve."< div> A quick note on navigation. So how can you check the real background of a legal practice? ...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: Thankfully, if the firm you're interested in is based within England or Wales they are most likely registered with the national Law Society. However we've been writing articles on law firms for over 20+ years now. This is important because some firms will use less-than-trans...


DFA Law LLP: Titles such as "The end of ‘furlough’ – what now?", "Employment Tribunal fees abolished with immediate effect" and "Commercial Property – Changes to the Use Classes Order" are just that extra flourish we think shows mindfulness towards their industry and consumers as a...


Ian Mallon Solicitors: class="infoquote "The practice offers a highly personalised relationship, working closely with our clients to resolve the often complex range of legal challenges that can face individuals and companies."< div> So how are the firm being rated by previous clients? ...
