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:

Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: Having worked with law firms for over 20 years now, our team know the best resources to help you research a firm and can spot things between the lines which most people might not be aware of. Thorpe Wilson don't have any testimonials listed on their website. So ...


Allsop Durn Solicitors: One last hopefully self-explanatory snippet from AD's website: class="infoquote "We are members of the Law Society, the Conveyancing Quality Scheme and Solicitors for the Elderly."< div>. Is that uncommon? Yes. Is it a good thing? We think so. The official website we ...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: So even though injury claim clients don't seem to be being targeted in that way, it's still probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site we link to above . If you're still struggling to decide between various firms, there are other things you can check independently t...


Apprise Legal Services: The term 'Estate Planning' is only just starting to gain ground here in the UK. So how can you tell the difference? Once source we often quote is the various Law Societies that legal professionals can sign up with. On those we still found very positive comments: ...


Aina Khan Law Ltd: For all we know their award could have been for a good website design or a medal for taking part in a local charity fun-run. Be aware that www.ainakhanlaw.co.uk is currently not in use. You turned the case round completely"< div>. Beyond that though, they even cover a range ...

Taborns Legal Business: Taborns went above and beyond to understand our requirements and source the individuals we needed." "Taborns interact seamlessly between barrister and client, and their instructions are thorough."< div> They also have a genuine News section. Unfortunately, de...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors: They can at least back up their front page statement of: class="infoquote "R. If you do see an actual compensation calculator on a firm's site though, don't bother with it. Unfortunately, the bits and pieces that we think are really important are often a couple of page...


Penn Chambers Solicitors: Not all barristers are able to take instructions from members of the public. You can usually find other information such as the practice's case range, staff, other offices, alternative contact details and so on. Don't underestimate the usefullness of such basic information e...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd: class="infoquote "Having the right support and representation at the earliest opportunity can significantly improve your chances of being found not guilty or achieve the best possible outcome and avoid you being banned from driving."< div> Most firms will have a s...


OJ Solicitors Ltd: We're amazed at the number of immigration firms on the web that only have an English version of their website. OJ Solicitors is a good example of this because whilst the official Ltd company was only established in 2020, the solicitors within it have been practicin...


Kudos Legal Ltd: So why did we invite Kudos Legal on board? As mentioned already, we think it's a big plus to have offices and qualified solicitors on both sides of the border with their location in Preston and one in Glasgow. I just want to say a big thank you to Rafaad for helping m...


Serious Law LLP: We manage their affairs to provide them with a future that is financially secure."< div> Naturally with such generic terms in the company name we did some digging about navigation. Plus they list their opening hours as 8am-10pm 7 days a week . The firm themselves list ...


5 Essex Court: Clearly 5 Essex Court are highly regarded by other professionals , but there are far fewer comments on the web by people who have actually used a barrister at this firm. However under the new Direct Access scheme members of the public are able to hire a barrister directly. ...

Avery Walters Solicitors: Certainly there is no 200+ year old solicitor working behind any of the desks. In our experience, newer solicitors tend to be quite eager to prove themselves and go above and beyond. Here is a selection of the more positive ones from places like Google, Trustpilot and Yell: ...


AWH Solicitors: Every solicitor that handles Personal Injury for example should never take any money up front or even if the case loses (the infamous no win, no fee) . So yes, 15 minutes isn't the most generous offering out there but it's far from the worst . Or you could end up speaking ...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our team of accident claim lawyers offer clear lines of communication at all times, so you won’t be left confused or wondering where your case is up to"< div> This is one of the bigger concerns people have during their case and the thing we see m...


Lawcomm Solicitors: If you needed to speak to someone in particular and they were busy you always got a call back quickly." "Tahzeem handled our property very professionally from the start to completion, she is well organised and get things done" "I recently bought a house and they m...


Redwood Collections Ltd: Some are setup to send threatening letters and to doorstep visits that are backed up with a legal department already in place. I say oddly because quite often it is the debtors that leave reviews on a debt collection firm and they are obviously bias in the opposite directly....


Alexander JLO Solicitors: But a free initial consultation is always a welcome sight for people who probably have tons of questions about just starting a legal process, let alone the case itself. We didn't see any opening hours listed on the firms website, but they were stated on their Google B...


GloverPriest Solicitors: It's as if they believe solicitors need 'humanising'. This all gets editorialised and endlessly posted around social media. GloverPriests cover most of these. Obviously claims to a long heritage look nice and many firms seek out even the most tenuous links. However we did s...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd: Even so far as responding to reviews on third party site. Whilst phrases such as "totally recommend", "great firm", and "exceeded expectations" are all things solicitors want to hear about themselves - none of them help a potential client understand why. When a new solicito...


33Legal Ltd: But if everyone is saying the same - what can you check to see what separates them? Not alot of people realise that there is a much more official way to see complaints about a firm than just skimming through Google reviews. That doesn't just mean length of time though, but...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors: Refusing to Provide a Specimen, Drink Driving, Drugged Driving, Failure to Provide a Specimen, Speeding, Driving whilst Disqualified, Driving Without Due Care & Attention, Using a Mobile Phone, Driving Without Insurance, Failure to Stop at the Scene of an Accident, Failure ...


Driscoll Kingston: Before we get into any more pointers though, what do Driscoll Kingston say about themselves? class="infoquote "Driscoll Kingston Solicitors' mission was to create a fresh, modern and dynamic law firm with a focus on client care and access to justice for all."< div> ...


SBW Law Ltd: As a very, very, very rough example: a good lawyer that takes 25% of a hard fought £5000 win is still a better option than a shoddy lawyer who takes 0% of a quick £2000 settlement. Those are two different setups. It's not a perfect system on any of the review forums, so ma...


IWC Probate & Will Services: Most law firms are moving away from the charge-by-the-hour setup and giving clients a quote up front. We'll be expanding on 'why' in a later article. class="infoquote "Our Will writing and probate staff are fully qualified probate practitioners who hold the appropriate...


Briffa Legal Ltd: Mini-articles stating how great the firm is at dealing with x, y, or z. However, no firm gets to dictate what we write in their review or make changes unless we've made a factual error. The difference with Briffa's team is that they only do Intellectual Property day-in, day-...


Helix Law Ltd: Again, this is rarer than you would think and another very positive point for Helix Law as a firm that goes beyond. A quick note on navigation because, as you can see, the official website of the firm is hyphenated - www.helix-law.co.uk - with the www.helixlaw.co.uk v...


Leech & Co: If you've flicked through a few other sites when researching Leech & Co Solicitors Ltd, you may have seen a company start date quoted as 2010. He therefore turned down our offer to list him on our site and preferred to stick to advertising in his local newspaper. These are j...


Joanna Connolly Solicitors: Often a conditional fee arrangement is put in place where the client pays no money up front, but as much as 25% to 30% of any monies 'won' during a case will be paid to the solicitor on completion. They also deal with setting aside statutory demands over consumer credit agre...


CFG Law: etc.' disclaimer is relevant in this instance. There aren't a lot of indications as to why this firm decided to be different. If you've searched the web looking for a personal injury claims firm, then you'll have likely visited dozens of sites that all look iden...


HJA Solicitors: class="infoquote "Here at Hodge Jones & Allen we think differently and do differently to help people with their problems and to be part of the local community."< div> Their main case range includes Criminal Defence, Employment Law, Wills & Probate, Medical Negli...


CSL Law Ltd: So why bring it up? Well, our editorial review articles on legal firms are created based on demand. So to make sure people didn't have to leave our site if they didn't need to and end up with the same problem, we decided to take a pro-active stance. As much of the searc...


RSR Law Ltd: Almost 14,000 new cases of work-related cancer and approximately 8,000 deaths from occupational cancer in the UK every year is simply too much. We all need to do more to reduce these statistics - each one of those numbers is a person suffering from an illness caused by ...


The Johnson Partnership: Unfortunately, there are quite a few "The Johnson Partnership"'s going about. So why do we recommend people to The Johnson Partnership? Because the staff here at 1to1Legal have all worked in various sections of the legal industry. Only as a scared client of course. A...


Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd: We don't take your details and sell them to anyone. If you've got amazing insurance cover, it could be one. The official www.autologistic.co.uk web address is the one we've linked to above. Especially if you're going to be off work due to injuries. Yes, you'll probably get i...


White Collar Legal: The list of services offered is quite extensive considering, offering help with financial mis-selling, landlord tenant disputes, personal injury, wills, etc. Enough to have seen plenty of veteran-but-desk-bound solicitors run rings round by younger legal professionals ...


Kings View Chambers: There are other websites such as www.stephenmccaffreybarrister.com out there with information about the firm and staff, but I would imagine the official one will be the most up to date. I hope you'll agree now that my use of the word 'unique' to describe their case ran...


Kings Court Trust Ltd: However, to be honest, you can read PDFs till the cows come home and still not know how your particular case might go or what is needed. But on this occasion I have no problem stating that any such misgivings are totally unfounded . We're not the only ones that think s...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors: Obviously, using the 'and' in the name would make for a long web address, and you can't have '&' characters in domain names. It's itself. It works too: class="infoquote "We will avoid legal jargon where possible and will communicate with you in plain English, taking th...


Davey Law: Whilst for businesses they cover things like disputes, property, insolvency and employment law. As I said, they have two office locations having recently moved one to new office space in Gloucester. These are usually life changing and chronic conditions such as head inj...


Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors: There are no lists of negative reviews on the regular review sites. With hourly solicitor rates often being around £150, knowing the exact cost beforehand and that it won't increase over time is important. They also apparently provide discounts to http: www.heal...


Balfour+Manson LLP: People will always look for free advice videos online, but those that do are usually only looking for that free advice. I'll bring it to a close here, but I hope that the bits and pieces I've brought up have given you a better overview of just who this firm was, is, an...


Murray Hay Solicitors: Luckily, the website is the firm's name, the name is simple, and it's a regular tld with the .co.uk - however the www.murrayhay.com address does not seem to belong to them and was displaying some weird stuff when we looked. Colum came to the firm after working in Hong Kong a...


Thompsons Solicitors Scotland: They have offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Peebles, Galashiels and Dundee. Their law firm was actually established in England in 1921 by William Henry Thompson, a champion of the trade union movement who continually pushed for civil liberties and compensation for workers. Cer...


Ashworth Motoring Law: If you try going to www.ashworthmotoringlaw.co.uk you will be redirected to the non-www version though. So the cost of a solicitor will always seem worth it to avoid that. However, many people associate solicitors with high fees, and when faced with a £100 fine to make...


Jackson Lees Group: From the receptionists to the solicitors, they are welcoming and understanding but at the same time very professional. They are absolutely the type of awards any forward thinking law firm should be aiming for. Anyway, you may think we're sounding a bit too positive (gus...
