Over the past 20 years we've written hundreds of articles about the legal industry. Here are a selection about individual firms. Whilst we obviously have not used all of their services, we have worked with many of them and can point out general tips for researching which firm to use and what questions to ask:




33Legal Ltd Review: I still feel that the extra bits and pieces such as warnings about the latest scams going around and the comparisons between various firms - can really help people get an overall sense of the legal industry as a whole . My daughter is now 12 and obsessed with something call...


ACS Accident Claims Scotland Review: www.acs.co.uk and www.acs.com are two totally different IT companies. Now, considering the burst of nationalism and patriotism that occurred not too long ago in the referendum where many Scottish firms moved their registered offices into England 'just in case' - don't assume...


Amnesty Solicitors Ltd Review: However, the mini-site seems to have a much more recent set of news articles and active Twitter feed. However, in recent years with the huge political upheavals regarding immigration - this has clearly changed. Luckily after nearly two decades in the legal industry, we...


Ashmans Solicitors Review: But the uptake of that mindset across the legal industry is slow to say the least. Ashmans go on to list their case areas as Family Law, Fraud Defence, Criminal Law, Motoring Defence, and Personal Injury. We've issued praise and criticism where appropriate, but have alw...


Ashworth Motoring Law Review: 'loopholes'. At 1to1Legal, we love specialists! And we can think of no greater case type where a specialist would be wanted than motoring offences. Just be sure and drive responsibly from then on, as you may not get the same bit of luck twice! The founder of the firm, A...


Atkinson Rose Solicitors LLP Review: They've just moved. . One thing you need to remember though, is that specialists probably take on a lot of cases that other firms considered either too difficult to pursue or unlikely to succeed. They also state: class="infoquote "We charge fair, reasonable rates or...


Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd Review: They are something different and sharing some of our near-twenty-years-worth of experiences with accidents and legal cases has hopefully provided you with more useful information than if we'd simply shared the firm's history. Again (and it's terrible that we're having to poi...


Balfour+Manson LLP Review: Entitled "Balfour Manson (Disability Legal Services)" the stated aim is: color="green "To provide legal services to clients with any form of disability, and to carers throughout Scotland." < font> The listing and information is about the Edinburgh office which ha...


Barrister-Direct Limited Review: They handle all the usual types of accident claims such as road traffic accidents, public liability claims, slips and falls, accidents at work, and more. They pride themselves on providing a friendly and approachable service. They in turn will then often approach Barris...


Blain Boland & Co Review: So once you're on it, we highly recommend bookmarking it to make sure you come back to the right place each time. . Moreover, they also handle some case types that we rarely see targeted elsewhere such as Ecclesiastical & Canon Law. This may have a lot to do wi...


BMD Law Solicitors Review: They do mention the standard no win, no fee catchphrase - but there is no mention of a 100% compensation guarantee so make sure to ask if they will provide such for your particular case type. A passion. They apparently have a calculator on their site, but we couldn't find it...


Brearleys Solicitors Review: For example, when you see four staff members - Jane Leadbetter, Neilka Holman, Emma Clough and Philip Scott - staring back at you from the Child Law section, it can't help but give someone considering such difficult action a bit of comfort and encouragement. These are ...


Briffa Legal Ltd Review: I skimmed through about a dozen and didn't see a single bit of sales-pitchery thrown it. Everything from Prince's posthumous music, to Monster battles and Marvel Comics. I won't go through the full list of possible variants. The Briffa Blog on the other hand is written by v...


CBTRL Review: will always have professionals involved quite early on. When an injury claimant comes forward it is quite common for the person conducting the initial interview to not actually be a solicitor. They do this with a 'Rapid Response' promise of getting in touch within 24 hours,...


CFG Law Review: studied engineering manufacture and management at Manchester University obtaining a Masters' degree prior to qualifying as a Solicitor. And obviously we think a lot of the firm otherwise they wouldn't be on our network. Whilst most scammers tend to target clients of property...


Countrywide Conveyancing Services Review: We link to www.countrywide-conveyancing.co.uk from this page (www.countrywideconveyancing.co.uk is blank) but the main websites seem to be www.cwpl.com and www.cwpl.co.uk which currently display the exact same information. However, that first statement isn't just clever word...


Davey Law Review: They state a belief that color="green "listening" < font>, color="green "common sense" < font> and a color="green "human approach" < font> are all major attributes they strive for in order to accomplish that goal. The kind that most of the people coming through our net...


Driscoll Kingston Review: Not just glancing at the sideline star ratings. When you've finished scrunching up your eyebrows and narrowing your eyes at that last statement - let me explain. But as we plan on recommending them to other people - we don't want to end up with egg on our face. And jus...

SBW Law Ltd Review: From a landline it will be charged at the regular landline rate. All this means is that the firm can be owned, employ, and be invested in by both law professionals and non-law professionals. There was also www.mysolicitorsays.com which wasn't working properly at the time we ...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: So if the website you're on talks (or even brags) about such situations as their main selling point - then in our experience that usually indicates a less experienced solicitor. There is an almost mirror of that site again at www.hammondtrotter.co.uk but nothing at all at ww...


DSL UK Debt Collection Review: (Does anyone honestly know if they are saying 'worcestershire' correctly???) In 2014 there was a small name change to DSL. The debtor, usually defaults because they simply don't have the money to pay - so are already in a bad position mentally and financially. For more than ...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors Review: Therefore, if a firm is strongly pushing clients towards their social media profiles on the actual website - we can only wonder why. That's my point. If I had to pick something to criticise (and what review would be complete without a bit of nit-picking) I'd prefer less...


FamLegal Family Legal Solicitors Review: If you would like to talk to speak to Family Legal then please feel free to contact them on (01606) 841273. These interviews can take place face-to-face, by telephone, or even my face time or Skype. Testimonials: "Julia has a fantastic blend of empathy, efficiency...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Overall though, each office has positive reviews: class="infoquote • "... It's useful tool to keep in mind when browsing firms. class="infoquote "... But the most important dates you should be looking at are those of the actual solicitor you get. Direct c...


Hartley Bain Solicitors Review: Clearly a slight lean towards immigration matters, but the articles may diversify more over time. Lastly we would point you to their testimonials page with reviews such as "Some of the characteristics that come to mind are: professional, courteous, competent and thorou...


Helix Law Ltd Review: If you factor in possible common errors we've already seen such as 'helixlegal', 'helixsolicitors' and even more once you start on hyphens - it's not worth the risk. I spoke to Laura Albon who helped talk through my situation and offered some valuable thoughts."< div> T...


HJA Solicitors Review: The firm actually opened a club in their basement called Club Inegales: class="infoquote "Patrick Allen represents a unique form of arts philanthropy. The official address is www.hja.net as detailed above. By the umpteenth award, we did what most people would do - i.e...

CSL Law Ltd Review: 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 search results Google provided weren't even UK based, it doesn't seem as though CSL Law are at fault - i....


Huneewoth Solicitors Review: For them to get onto the panel, they have already passed a certain standard. Some law firms will state a range of language abilities, when what they mean is they can get an interpreter into the office within 24-48 hours to translate back and forth. Information and statements...


IWC Probate & Will Services Review: If you read our last article, it was about a firm with a history back to 1979 yet had a grand total of three reviews across the entire web. Why is that important? The reason they have so many reviews is probably because they link to review groups from their own websit...


Jackson Lees Solicitors Review: etc. Of them all, we are glad to see the Solicitors for the Elderly accreditation, the Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Award , and a Modern Claims Award for Outstanding Achievement . Thank you for your time and care over this house sale. When firms sign up, they generally s...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: Our clients receive City of London expertise at Kentish rates."< div>. We checked several variants such as www.jarmansolicitors.co.uk and those with hyphens, as well as other TLDs including www.jarmansolicitors.com and www.jarmanssolicitors.com - but none of them seemed to b...


Jefferies Solicitors Ltd Review: Jefferies have installed an online calculator on their website for people to see estimates of their potential compensation for things such as lost deposits, hire cars, hotel charges, plus the impact of more personal problems associated with delayed flights. They've also...


Joanna Connolly Solicitors Review: Make sure to ask and discuss in depth how and when the solicitor taking your case expects to get paid. If you are experiencing debt problems and being threatened with possible court action Joanna Connolly Solicitors naturally advise you to seek legal advice immediately....


Kings Court Trust Ltd Review: This apparently lets you check the progress of your case at any time through a password protected admin area. There are a few things we wouldn't mind seeing changed. In these days of Facebook and LinkedIn, an increasing number of people enjoy and feel more confident being ab...


Kings View Chambers Review: So why have we sought out such a relatively new, small chambers to add to our network? There are a few reasons, but the one that caught our eye initially was the case range. (If you haven't read any articles on fake solicitor email scams - find one and get aware.) It has alw...


KTP Solicitors Review: They also try to avoid court where possible, resorting to mediation - especially in family law cases. That means no matter what happens during the case - the cost to you will not go up or down. Their fixed offices are based at Pontypridd and Bridgend to cover cases arou...


Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors Review: They also state they will give you the direct dial and email details of your dedicated conveyancer for fast and easier contact. Plus, apparently their conveyancers have fully trained assistants to answer questions if your conveyancer is not available. Moving home is str...


Law In Cornwall Review: "Law in Cornwall" is a branding trading name for Cubism Ltd. They state they have specialist accident claims solicitors in Cornwall plus London, so a wider spread of services and expertise could be available. For divorce, children and family law cases, their Family Law ...


Leech & Co Review: Apparently there are over 2000+ such locations across the UK so I imagine the majority of solicitors dealing with Wills, Court of Protection and Power of Attorney matters are aware of them. Therefore a legal practice with a mere 25+ years behind it might sound in its infancy...


MacLachlan Solicitors Ltd Review: However, if you http: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 477459 maclachlan-solicitors-limited?Solicitors=True" follow this link< a> you'll see that each of the firm's solicitors specialise in those case types - i.e. MacLachlan do this but also list the dire...


Marcus Andreen Business Law Review: Prior to that he worked in legal roles for Mobile Systems International Limited (MSI), and Synon.. Marcus Andreen is a solicitor for commercial and IT law. However, where it is not possible to determine the amount of time any work is likely to take, charges will be calculate...


McShanes Solicitors Review: Established in 1973, McShanes is one of the leading legal firms in Northern Ireland. But with such a wide case range, it would probably be worth asking about your legal issue over the phone even if you don't see a case title that matches exactly. McShanes are widely rec...


Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors Review: So if Meresbrook Pollard do need to remove this offer at some point, or if these sites were displaying the promotion well past the date promised - then don't hold it against them. taxis, liquor, gaming, etc.) which is mentioned only briefly on an inner page, so you might mis...


Murray Hay Solicitors Review: With very little information, a few nice pictures, but the focus on trying to get people to phone up with their questions rather than obtain their own answers from the site. Lisa Mansfield has 25 years at the firm, handling mostly residential property matters. Some staff hav...


Qdos Legal Services Ltd Review: Not all the separate sites have a .co.uk variant and with some services not being mentioned or linked to from others - we would suggest bookmarking the main one we have linked to once you are on it to avoid issues when trying to type-in or search for it later.. Qdos is bas...


RG Solicitors Review: Again, the more cynical of you will see any business involving itself in the community as some sort of cheap PR - i.e. However, RG's comments section is huge, seemingly with several comments every month of the year. Do you know the feeling I'm getting at? So, why have ...


RJ Gill Solicitors Review: Now a dozen years later the firm has relocated to Skelmersdale and has around 20 staff. The reason we decided to bring this firm on board as well, is to offer something more streamlined and dedicated to speedy resolutions. Most large and general law firms will handle an...


Robson & Co Solicitors Review: So, we'd have to count that as a plus. With Wills and probate, Robson's state that their: color="green "personal and professional service gives you peace of mind that your children and family are looked after when you can no longer provide for them" < font>. It w...


RSR Law Ltd Review: In some cases we may charge a small fee if further investigation is required, before a no win no fee agreement can be entered, (i.e. getting a copy of a will), however this will be discussed and agreed prior to any work being undertaken. There are also websites at www.rsrltd...


Taylor Rose TTKW Solicitors Review: They have partnered with KJ Commons in Workington to create an office and presence there. The same goes for their social media activity. To that end we partner with large and small, old and new, private and commercially focused, single and multi-office, barrister and solicit...


Taylor Bracewell Review: Only the .co.uk version returns a website. This firm's head of Family Law is Alison Kitchman who we mentioned before in the Legal 500 comments. They were listed in the http: www.thestar.co.uk business city-region-awards-meet-all-51-finalists-1-7891595" City Region Busines...


The Johnson Partnership Review: All this is to hopefully provide a good overview and a wide range of facts to help people decide whether to use this firm. However, with some firms the solicitor you choose will not always be the person that represents you in court should the matter go to trial. If y...


Thompsons Solicitors Scotland Review: The tendancy would be to estimate the real number lies somewhere in between. However there are only 22 reviews posted on Google and 729 reviews on Trustpilot. This means that in addition to securing the maximum possible compensation in each case, we also seek to provide addi...


White Collar Legal Review: White Collar director Philip Nam's profile states his more than a dozen years of legal and administrative experience in advocacy, consumer law, contracts, employment, legal costs and more. Providing Accessible and Affordable Legal Services to All. The list of services ...
