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:ABS Lawyers Ltd Review: So finding feedback from previous clients about how true these statements about quality customer service are, should be easy. Whilst this can fall into the same trap of the branding not always reflecting the experience of the actual lawyer assigned to your case - it is fa...
Antony Hodari Solicitors Review: Antony Hodari himself qualified in 1981, Emma Rees in 2000, right up to Rozina Bibi who qualified in 2017. But we didn't find out the spark that created Antony Hodari. Almost a 'crusade' mentality. The only common typo we saw in our logs was for www.anthonyhodari.co.uk with ...
Argue & Co Legal Review: However it's easy to imagine getting lost in the numbers at a large firm as well. This splinter naming isn't nearly as prolific amongst other areas of law such as divorce or crime. Despite the owner's surname being a generic word (argue) the firm shows up fine for the majo...
Beers LLP Review: class="infoquote "We take time to get to know our clients, their businesses and their individual needs."< div> The most common resource people use when judging the merits of any service provider is usually the customer reviews . This article is therefore going t...
Bell Lax Solicitors Review: If one firm says 'established in 1991', whilst another says '30 years experience as a solicitor', and another says '30 years experience within the firm' - those are three totally different claims even though they sound the same. For example Richard Kerry qualified in 1993, N...
Bilkus & Boyle Review: The majority of large conveyancing specialists have ratings as low as 2 or 3 stars. We always advise reading actual comments rather than just flicking through ratings though. Another line on their site that probably sticks out to us more than to regular consumers woul...
BLZ Solicitors Review: BLZ Ltd is the same firm, it's just their official Limited registered name. But on scrolling through the personal background information it quickly turns out to actually be quite relevant . These four case types are not exactly the easiest or the best paying in relation to ...
Branch Austin McCormick LLP Review: When you accidentally type the wrong address into your browser bar , you can be taken to a fake site easily. class="infoquote "always available, professional and friendly and speedy" "Extremely helpful, always on hand to answer questions" "polite, effi...
Brown and Co Solicitors Review: Our poll from a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted testimonials provided by companies on their website. On top of that there are useful staff profiles on their website which we strongly advise every law firm to produce. class="infoquote "Our solicito...
Mackenzie Jones Solicitor Review: Because whilst a fairly new legal practitioner can be bolstered by a good support team - there's nothing quite like having the experience in the bones of the person you are dealing with. We try our best to provide a range of options for people searching for help. That's beca...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co Review: Burton and Co LLP https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 466124 burton-co-llp" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because it is by far the best. To start off we should try to clarify that 'QualitySolicitors' is not an actual law ...
Catteralls Solicitors Review: For example, one firm we've written about previously claims a 150-year-history in the area simply because they moved into a building that was occupied by a much older firm initially. But the reason we point out how easy it is to get mixed up is because this firm deal with Pr...
CEL Solicitors Review: To be fair, it's not as if a company can claim to be the opposite and still sound good - i.e.
It's always great to have options and many of those just mentioned could save considerable time and money over a regular 'high street' law office. But it can get confus...
Cooks Solicitors Review: It also means you've got the best of both worlds - i.e. Newcastle RTB team where [sic] a nightmare to deal with and he managed them so well."

David Stinson & Co Review: Even if someone calls you claiming to be from the firm and you don't recognise them - don't be afraid to say you'll call them back on the official phone number.
. However for smaller more simple cases such as a two week whiplash injury as a passenger in a car accident - w...
DisrepairClaim.co.uk Review: 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two very different offers. To fix those missing floor boards. The second means that there are no fees to pay whether you win OR lose. Many people assume that every litigation firm or compensation claim advertising lawyer will ta...
DV Solicitors Review: They prefer to source reviews from independent review forums such as Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Yell, Yelp, etc.
class="infoquote "People rely on us, and we pride ourselves on our client-centered advocacy and representation."< div>
The firm does have the usual t...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: No win, no fee just means that there will be no fees if your case loses. Of course some firms have started putting their pet's names and favourite foods in profiles. A good mix of seasoned pros and fresh blood within any company must surely be a good thing.
If you t...
Fair Result Ltd Review:
A quick note on navigation. However no-one seemed willing ... Sometimes a barrister without the solicitor middle-man can save considerable time and money in a motor offence case. This includes direct access barristers, non-legal solutions, and mediation service provid...
Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: qualified as a Solicitor in 2020"< div>
That's the two ends of the experience bookshelf from what we could see, making a range of five decades worth of experience - but alongside some fresh legs too. The LawScot site only provides search results with a
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: For example in the case of the firm we're writing about today ( Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents ) we couldn't find a dedicated page on the Law Society of Scotland's website. Don't just flick through star ratings. There were the expected negative reviews though which did ...
Hawkridge & Company Review:

Hill House Chambers Review: they are qualified to ...
A quick note on navigation. But it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the scam of ' https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" phishing< a>' and maybe read a few articles about https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk conveyancing-scams ...
HooperHyde Review: The only legal services we've seen consistent reviews on are conveyancing firms because people always have plenty to say about how their house sale purchase went. So don't take the fact a firm is a trading name of another company name as meaning anything at all. We've known ...
Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: There are 10 solicitors at the firm at time of writing with Noel Lee having qualified in 1997, William Cheung in 2005, Ahmed Yousafzai in 2011, and more - right up to Sarah Khan in 2021. That's why we can often point out things the average consumer wouldn't notice or conside...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd Review: We did find some reviews for JPS Walker:
class="infoquote "really helpful through-out our claim"
"Great solicitors, professional, friendly"
"successfully managed to secure us damage cheques"< div>
and the majority of them were definitely positive . Espe...
Khan Law Review: The quote above is from the Khan Law website and, in our opinion, is being used appropriately. So Khan Law clearly stating the actual award is therefore quite a rarity and should not be overlooked. So what else is there?
class="infoquote "At Khan Law we will keep...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd Review: But no. Such as:

A quick note on navigation as we're dealing with an acronymed company name and non-branded web address.

Mckie Legal Review: The legal industry is one that really hasn't moved swiftly and easily into the modern digital available-all-the-time age. It's very common even for firms with decades of history to have less than a handful of online reviews about them. A solicitor that takes 10% of your se...
Michael Leighton Jones Review: There are also https: www.theguardian.com money 2021 jan 02 homebuyers-scams-stamp-duty-holiday-" many scams right now involving house deposits< a>. When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people are far less likely to share their feelings about their...
Milners Solicitors Review: But less people are inclined to rush to tell everyone about their horrible divorce, criminal trial, or bankruptcy proceedings. By 'regular' we don't mean they are average. The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen amongst such organisati...
My Law Matters Review: More so than even the clothing industry which is saying something.
class="infoquote "our team have years of experience and offer a wide range of legal services"< div>
A quick note on navigation as we're dealing with a trading name and one with three generic keyw...
OneLaw Chambers Review:
Direct Access, or Public Access as it's sometimes known, allows members of the public to skip that step and hire a barrister directly.
For example, the creation of 'no win, no fee' arrangements for litigation matters such as personal injury, medical negligence, ho...
Pacific Law Review:
Either way should really make no difference to your choice though. So public comments from previous clients will probably not be available for some time. Don't just rely on star ratings. This is an area of law where we do think a specialist firm can be of benefit, th...
Penerley Lawyers Review: Obviously with huge amounts of money changing hands, fraudsters are desperately emailing people pretending to be their solicitor and telling them to pay the money into the fraudster's bank account instead. The Law Society of England & Wales has a great user-side display of ...
Rose Fendlen Law Review: On that last one:
class="infoquote "Specialising in: ... However whilst there may be a multitude of case titles within an area of law - it is still one area of law . Only actual solicitors will be regulated by the SRA so if a firm does not have a statement such as th...
Richmond Legal Ltd Review:

Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors Review: In fact the review on Yelp wasn't even about the correct firm, but the link to it still popped up in the top search results when searching for reviews about them.
. Normally in our information articles about firms we tend to dive off into a few tangents about general thing...
The Search Bureau Review: 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. Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. Have they done so? We've found that most companies ...
Simper Law Ltd Review: Which makes it far more believable that a self-proclaimed "small firm" can have a decent level of expertise and experience in all of them.
class="infoquote "our practice has quickly gained a good reputation within the legal world"< div>
In most industries these ...
Smith and Graham Solicitors Review: But the main thing we want to cover in this piece relates to:
class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on our level of client service, constantly striving to ensure our clients expectations are satisfied by our team of legal experts."< div>
Conversely this may sound...
Springle & Co Solicitors Review: For example, it states Claire Springle qualified as a solicitor in 2001 so that's at least two decades of possible experience. The first port of call we usually recommend to help start telling them apart is The Law Society in your area. Customer care second to none."< div> ...
Stenfield Solicitors Review: A real mix of ages, genders, experience, and expertise that you would hope to see at any general practice firm you might be considering. However you will need to enter one of the office locations such as 'norwich' or 'london' to get the popup box with all the specific revi...
Stowe Family Law Review: Some phrases may seem throwaway such as:
class="infoquote "A tailored approach from a team that really understands family law."< div>
Which again you've probably seen similarly worded statements on a lot of other firm's websites. But you've probably come across ...
Summerfield Browne Solicitors Review: On the whole they are positive, however in the case of https: www.google.com search?q=summerfieldbrowne+cambridge&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsZgtAzd_li97ev6QBMxCnd-bir8EA%3A1661867136831&ei=gBQOY5WlMuyUhbIPkqSo2A4&ved=0ahUKEwiV5erC2e75AhVsSkEAHRISCusQ4dUDCA4&ua...
Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: Our last article was about a firm that used different trading names from the same office address. Now we come to a firm with several separate offices but different names for some of them. I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. We've bee...
Taylor Price Solicitors Review: These should ideally - according to us - have a photo, brief work history, a list of specialties, and direct contact information. For example most firms will also claim a certain amount of experience, although not always in the clearest of way. that handles nothing by those ...
Thaxted Legal Ltd Review:
Sometimes, like many consumers, we just have to go with our gut. Sadly the government body doesn't even provide a good advisor search function and when trying to look up a firm there is a mountain of reading involved just to find the link to take you to the page that ...
Stephanie Heijdra Review: So at the moment even something specific such as "stephanie heijdra barrister london" brings up no local information let alone public reviews.

Trojan Solicitors Ltd Review: They provide a huge amount of user-side data about the law firms registered with them including alternate trading names, other office addresses, extra contact details, and so on. Rameez is listed as focusing on Civil Litigation and Family Law. The honest truth, however, is t...
Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: The most common reason is the expectation of more expertise, more experience, and therefore a knock on effect of less time and cost required. Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. They also offer a fully online servic...
ULA Solicitors Ltd Review: The most important figure we think people should focus on is not how old the brand name is, but the number of years experience the actual solicitor that will be handling your case has. It states Julian Groombridge qualified as a solicitor in 1998, Mohammed Ullah in 2004, Ine...
Youngs Solicitors Review: At the time we checked, they were clickable images rather than live counters - so were slightly off the actual average ratings on each. The firm doesn't list testimonials on their website, but that's fine. The official website for Young & Co is www.youngs.law with www.youn...
