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: We've often said that it's better to get a 20-year experienced lawyer in a 1-year old firm than to end up with a 1-year experienced lawyer at a 20-year old firm. But we've also been in the legal industry for over 20 years now and some firms can get way too involved in ...
5 Essex Court Review: Hopefully as more and more people get wind of the option, we'll start seeing more publicly available feedback about the various barristers chambers as well. Until recently, the public didn't have any say in this. With barristers you'll also find they tend to specialise ...

Apprise Legal Services Review: So just take care clicking. Thankfully these days there are a large number of indepedent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp and so on.

With everything so computerised these days and information being shared across all platforms and industries however, it may be that...
Avery Walters Solicitors Review: So don't think we're pushing that bookmarking stuff just to promote the firm. It's a very serious problem and with so many variants possible it would only take someone buying the www.averyandwalters.com domain name and sticking a fake site up to start causing big problems ...
AWH Solicitors Review: But we've been working with law firms for over 20 years now and can confidently say that any official Lexcel, Law Society or Legal 500 stamp of approval is a good sign . www.roebuckslaw.co.uk or www.carterlaw.co.uk), we would definitely recommend bookmarking the firm's webs...
Briffa Legal Ltd Review: But the firm's enthusiasm unashamedly spills out of their website anyway. Joshua Schuermann is from Paris and was a professional musician and production assistant before becoming a solicitor, moving to London, and studying Media and Entertainment Law. It's an awkward sha...
CFG Law Review: studied engineering manufacture and management at Manchester University obtaining a Masters' degree prior to qualifying as a Solicitor. I may be bias (having sought out engineering myself at uni) but I would imagine that someone who came at their law degree from a different...
CSL Law Ltd Review: Of course CSL cover a niche case range of Divorce, Dispute Resolution, and Employment Law so the site shouldn't be large anyway. In fact, they are one of the few that have bothered to create a Google+ social profile. If we see a lot of people using our internal search to see...
Davey Law Review: He has secured millions of pounds in compensation for his clients. Christopher Mills profile is of note as an appointed Deputy in the Court of Protection, allowing him to represent vulnerable adults and clients who lack mental capacity to manage their own financial affa...

Driscoll Kingston Review: But when you take the average it means the firm's highest rating is 3.2 out of 5 (Google). It's all in the wording. But if you look past the required sentiments, you might have missed little things like the firm's Blog section . "100% compensation" means there are no fees n...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: However this option is usually only made available if you respond quickly. The number of possible offences is always growing. Many places around the country offer to send you to a Safe Driving course rather than formally prosecute you. So sure enough, we sought out a s...
Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors Review: They'll be the ones with lots to say ... Some statements are repeated, some are drawn out, and some seem superfluous - i.e. But the pages about case types, how they work, staff and so on are also just as extensive. We will respond to emails received within 24 hours. That's...
Fieldfisher LLP Review: However these are sufficiently in the past to avoid anyone still mixing them up. Not only that, they even have their own Wikipedia page.

Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: With law firms, people tend to prefer reviews on third party boards such as Google, Yelp, Trustpilot and Yell.com over those posted on the firm's testimonial page. We saw that www.frankrogers.co.uk is a different firm dealing with property with neither www.frankrogerslaw.com...
GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Certainly, if there is a recurring theme of incompetence in the reviews then that's something to take note of.

Helix Law Ltd Review: Typically if there are grammatical errors and spelling mistakes - the reviews have been sourced from the latter. Although we call review sites independent, that doesn't mean they can't have issues with fakery. Even on search engines you may find one word extra or wrong ...
HJA Solicitors Review: All above 4☆. This popularity seems to come without the usual nay-sayers. You'd be lucky to scrape up even a handful on any particular firm. His business premises include a basement bar and space, and he donates this free of charge as a venue for new music."< div>...

IWC Probate & Will Services Review: They then take that case to a third party solicitor to deal with whilst they act as a very-well-paid middleman. Or worse, they just sell your case to a completely different firm. We'll be expanding on 'why' in a later article.

Kings Court Trust Ltd Review: For example, most law firms include a brief overview of key staff. But they're not. Simply put, an ABS is a firm handling legal matters that has non-solicitors owning, running, or working within the company.

Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: So they're sort of a cross between what we do and TrustPilot.
Why is this more helpful than regular review forums such as Google or Facebook or Yellow Pages? Because they're moderated. At the time of writing this, they only had a 3.8 star rating on Google which doesn't ...
MGBe Legal Review: But if you get someone not on the ball for your criminal defence or immigration - your whole life is affected. But until you've actually used the firm, how can you judge whether this is going to be true? One of the best resources for detailed information about a firm or an...

MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: in the case of an Immigration firm), or are simply marked as being the best in their field .

OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: It is certainly not the case that the standard high street law firm is the best option in every scenario. We're amazed at the number of immigration firms on the web that only have an English version of their website.

RD Costings Review: On the 1to1Legal network we review and recommend a wide range of firms. They don't promise you an ipad or a Sainsbury's voucher for making a claim with them. Two of our staff worked on such cases for years including CICA matters.)
