Argue & Co Legal Review: But they really don't. We've seen the most absurd negative reviews against solicitors.

Beers LLP Review: It's very common for solicitors to do this. Alongside their co-workers, the firm as a whole has a decent mix of seasoned professionals with some fresher legs and ideas. Unlike hairdressers or restaurants, law firms can end up with negative reviews from the side they beat...
Bell Lax Solicitors Review: Despite all three statements seeming to indicate 30 years of 'something' - it is only the second statement that is a real indication that there is an actual 30 year experienced solicitor at the firm. In fact for most of them no comments were left at all - just a low star r...
Bilkus & Boyle Review: The number of scams relating to conveyancing and property in general have been increasing for years. (Yes, it's that comparable.)

Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: Working within the legal industry we think it should probably start being mandatory. Nor do any of the hyphentated variants (dylan-nair) or typical typos (dylanair). You never know if that one star criticism is from an old opponent who lost to them, or a disgruntled client w...
Fair Result Ltd Review: On the plus side though, the people working at the firm have both professional and (according to their About Us page) personal experience of divorce proceedings . Sometimes a barrister without the solicitor middle-man can save considerable time and money in a motor ...
Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: At 1to1Legal we also have a staff member who went through law school whilst working here, so we're very aware there does need to be a fair bit of flexibility and a desire to encourage a staff member's studies to make that situation work. Unfortunately, the Law So...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: Plus in England Wales house sales can fall through right at the last minute through no fault of the solicitor, but they will often get the bad review anyway.

Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: That's unusual though because the majority of Conveyancing firms in the UK have terrible reviews. There are things we absolutely would consider make a firm "modern" and having an online booking form like Jacobs Law do is certainly one of them. So that makes it less helpful...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd Review: 100% compensation means there are no fees whether your case wins or loses. www.jpslaw.co.uk which is a completely different firm). which sounds great. class="infoquote "With 30 years experience and dedicated to looking after you"< div> Most legal practices will ma...

OneLaw Chambers Review: Personally, we think people leaving negative reviews for those reasons completely undermines the whole goal of review forums. We ran a poll last year, though, which came back that only 8% of people trusted company-provided testimonials. Scammers email property buying c...
Pacific Law Review: Don't just rely on star ratings. When reviews do start popping up though (and even in your searches of any company really) you need to take the time to read through comments. Pacific Law is very new addition to our database of law firms and they are a very new firm as w...

Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: So if a firm accepts Legal Aid clients at all, then that's an instant brownie point from us. If you want more specific information about your local office, you need to include the town name when you search - e.g. Young and Co have their own branded location though so any r...
Taylor Price Solicitors Review: One that they seem to be offering face to face initial consultations for free at either of their Leeds or Levenshulme offices - not just a phone call with a junior staff member.

Thaxted Legal Ltd Review: This kind of offering demonstrates two things (to us at least). We even have a list of the most 'problematic' firms based on the complaints databases.

This is because most people buying selling a house will always feel that the process should have gone much, much faster and been far, far less complicated. So whilst oth...
Youngs Solicitors Review: First thing to note of course is that Young & Co Solicitors is the official company name and Youngs Solicitors is simply how the branding is written. Third you have firms where each solicitor within the firm has their own specialty. We also hold CQS, The Law Society's qualit...
Trojan Solicitors Ltd Review: For all we know the awards all these solicitors are boasting about could be very old or have nothing to do with legal expertise - e.g.
