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: So don't be taken in by claims of "Established in 1880" on many legal websites as if it means something incredible. class="infoquote "Visit our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and connect with us to keep up to date with the latest news."< div> We always cringe a l...


5 Essex Court Review: Unfortunately Google can be quite slow in responding to scammers. This naturally means a great opportunity to save both time and money: class="infoquote "The Direct Public Access scheme introduced in 2004 enables barristers to be instructed directly from or on behalf...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: But also because most people end up cross with their conveyancer at some point during the sale or purchase. We also provide a fixed fee quotation, to help plan your finances from an early stage."< div> It's absolutely true that both of these are very important for clien...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: If you click the name of a staff member you will be shown further information about them. This firm obviously focuses solely on Family Law matters . Aina Khan Law Ltd for example are signed up with The Law Society for England & Wales. It may have nothing to do with their ac...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: The one we always recommend is local Law Societies. Maybe the 'Dearlove' part retired? Between that, possible misspellings and the .com though - we would probably recommend that you bookmark the correct site if you plan on returning. Godfrey Newman qualified in 1979, ...


Apprise Legal Services Review: So just take care clicking. Google sadly allows advertisers to stuff the searched-for keywords into adverts. So how can you tell the difference? Once source we often quote is the various Law Societies that legal professionals can sign up with. This seems to be be completel...


APS Legal & Associates Review: The main website is www.aps-legal.com and www.aps-legal.co.uk will redirect you there. unequalled in providing the highest standard of service and quality of advice"< div> So does this carry over in to satisfied clients? In all honesty this is a far more difficul...


Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd Review: Yes, you'll probably get it refunded after your case is settled 3-12 months later. monitor and react instantaneously to all alerted incidents sent by your device which could include a lifesaving call to the emergency services. Even if you're at a stage in your claim where on...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: Most solicitors in the UK are registered with them in their respective areas. You may also see other names such as Avery Walters Ellis Solicitors and Avery & Walters Ltd mentioned when looking around for information. If you read through some of the negative reviews though, o...


AWH Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "We provide a free 15 minute initial consultation for all of our services except for immigration law. If you check the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 594279 awh-legal-ltd?Solicitors=True" entries for AWH< a> you'll see a hu...


Briffa Legal Ltd Review: It was an actual Blog. I skimmed through about a dozen and didn't see a single bit of sales-pitchery thrown it. The Briffa Blog on the other hand is written by various members of staff who simply seem to want to comment, point out, or express their opinion about current int...


CFG Law Review: The type of cases they handle can be seen a bit more clearly in their Case Studies section. So there's is unlikely to be confusion and people trying to enter that as a website address. Just use the solicitor search box in the top right column of this page. With huge ti...


CSL Law Ltd Review: Other public pages such as their Twitter feed are kept fresh with a good mix of self promotion, retweets, and links to relevant articles. If you check The Law Society website you'll see that whilst one of the firm's solicitors started practising in that year, Clive Stephen...


Davey Law Review: The kind that most of the people coming through our network probably expect to be referred to. Is there something wrong with being normal? Davey Law has two offices, covering a wide range of cases, a decent online presence, good reputation, plus an average sized ...


DFA Law LLP Review: There are a few little touches around their site too that indicate a firm with a vested interest in their public perception. Sometimes when researching a company online people tend to just look up some reviews on their favourite review site and then decide. So do the indepen...


Driscoll Kingston Review: there is no need for improvement from this firm." "At Driscoll Kingston no improvement is needed."< div> I'm sure that like me, many of you have also assumed the firm must ask clients to fill in a feedback form which has a question along the lines of 'Is there anythin...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: However this option is usually only made available if you respond quickly. The number of possible offences is always growing. We first added Hammond Trotter Solicitors to our list of recommended firms back in 2015. You can search this firm's name on a news search and t...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors Review: In 2009 and 2011 they were recognised as the Leicestershire Law Society Law Firm of the Year. Something you don't get from phone calls. EHL have done neither. We will return any calls received before 4:30pm on the same day. The earliest record available of that practice is...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: So on this occasion we would suggest ignoring any comments (positive or negative) that don't come with accompanying comments that clearly appear to be about reviewing a law firm. You'll see Fieldfisher have lawyers from each of the past four decades including Ian Austin (qua...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: So that's good. Also keep an eye out for whether a firm offers a free consultation with the actual qualified solicitor who may be running your case . The https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 1320 frank-rogers-law-ltd" page for this firm< a> will provide you w...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Glover&Priest with the ampersand in the middle is not possible as a web address but www.gloverandpriest.com is. Overall though, each office has positive reviews: class="infoquote • "... So seeing direct contact details for solicitors on the Glover Priest's site...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: But there really are issues that need to be dealt with by mental health professionals. So do we recommend Hampson Hughes? class="infoquote "Our objective is to ensure we recover the maximum amount of personal injury compensation you deserve."< div> Certainly eve...


Helix Law Ltd Review: If you're concerned that a firm's reviews sound too good to be true - one of the simplest ways to spot fake reviews is if the majority of 5 star reviewers have only ever written that one review, whilst the negative comments come from people with dozens of reviews under their...


HJA Solicitors Review: It also mentions the little fact that Cherie Blair opened their new offices in 1997 - invited to as she had worked at the firm early in her career. I don't think anyone can argue that! There also seems to be an active interest in law generally and in helping people. It...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: To us, and probably a lot of other people, that's something to boast about considering the basic 9-5pm most other law firms still archaically hang on to. We provide our clients with an option to keep all of their compensation, subject to terms please ask."< div> One thi...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: For example, we saw a negative review of a Divorce specialist for refusing to take on someone's Personal Injury case. We're sure the firm's extra step of translating the site to cater for that has not gone unappreciated. Just make sure to watch carefully at the website addre...

Asghar & Co Ltd Review: A bold move for sure. class="infoquote "Our efficient legal specialists will make sure to keep you fully informed at every stage, respond immediately to all your queries and consult you before arising at any legal decision."< div> The only way to judge whether st...


IWC Probate & Will Services Review: Obviously these days many services can be provided without you ever having to visit the offices of the legal service provider you choose. That's a big deal. A 150 year old law firm might assign you a 1-year qualified solicitors to run your case. class="infoquote "Your...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: But outside of that, they do the traditional 9am-5pm solicitors hours with closures on bank holidays. If a firm has a handful of bad reviews ten years ago then nothing but 5 star reviews ever since - then we would consider that important to note. When we first started revie...


Joanna Connolly Solicitors Review: 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. Previously Head of Consumer Credit Litigation at MSB Solicitors, Joanna has h...


Kings Court Trust Ltd Review: Simply put, an ABS is a firm handling legal matters that has non-solicitors owning, running, or working within the company. ABSs were introduced by the Legal Services Act 2007 but didn't hit the UK legal services market until about 2012. We always encourage and reward o...


Kings View Chambers Review: Even if you're a chiropodist, physiotherapist, or dietician facing the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) - KingsView Chambers actively advertise their desire to help with your case. Considering that variants such as www.kingschambers.com, www.kingsview.com and www.kin...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: Including a firm stating a 150 year history based on having moved into the building of an older firm. (No, really.) We guarantee you that there is no 200+ year old lawyer sat behind a desk with all the wisdom any legal professional could possibly have . However we tend...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: Another stated how they had been serving the local community for over a hundred years simply because they bought the building from a longer established firm. However they do cover a wide range of matters for both individuals and businesses . Even so, we would still r...


Leech & Co Review: Hard to believe such people still exist. Wills services don't exactly need to be the 24 7 emergency hotlines of Criminal Law. Apparently there are over 2000+ such locations across the UK so I imagine the majority of solicitors dealing with Wills, Court of Protection and Powe...


Levins Solicitors Review: The firm do cover a wide range of legal matters including Civil Litigation, Conveyancing, Crime, Divorce, Personal Injury, Wills and Probate. So Levins' founding date of 1986 (whilst sounding relatively young for a legal practice) absolutely does not mean they have ...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: But with a new branding setup, web address change, and expansion into more areas of corporate law - we thought it better to write a whole new piece rather than just update the old one. class="infoquote "Founded by two brave women in the midst of the pandemic, we unders...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: This is not one of Alexander JLO's clients leaving a review. We ran a poll in the middle of last year and in this age of mobile phones, email, and 24-hour supermarkets - people do think law firms should provide more out of hours appointments. This type of complaint should ...


MGBe Legal Review: Accredited at Level 3 Advanced Caseworker with the Law Society. After us praising The Law Society of England & Wales for having such a great site, we have noticed that they currently link to an outdated web address of www.gabriellabettigagroup.com which no longer takes you...

McEwan Fraser Legal Review: However, one of the properties showed a possible selling margin of Ј60,000 difference between a high and low estimate. Both in text and with little badges further down the page. class="infoquote "Open weekdays from 8am - Midnight and 9am - 10pm on Saturday and Sunday."...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: in the case of an Immigration firm), or are simply marked as being the best in their field . kept me informed regularly of all aspects of my claim and always had time to discuss any queries."< div> However according to our poll a couple of years ago, less than a fifth ...


NV Legal Ltd Review: Usually people expect the term specialist to apply to firms that deal with more niche titles such as Wills or Motor Offenses. Hence, why we have already included them on our network. However if your case wins the law firm may take a commission success fee of up to 25% of you...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: Again, it's a shame that The Scottish Law Society does not help with better information in this area. It is certainly not the case that the standard high street law firm is the best option in every scenario. A one-year-old firm might have twenty-year-experienced solicitors o...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: One thing that made us feel a certain kinship with this particular law firm was their T&Cs section. Not just for the legal industry either. class="infoquote "Established in 2008, finding our success from our direct approach to providing high-quality services base...


RD Costings Review: These can include Sexual Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Assaults, and even the death of a loved one at the hands of another person. A whiplash claim against an insurer where the third party has already admitted fault is pretty much a slam dunk. 100% compensation gua...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: Redwood Collections was created in 2009 and states it has helped over 17,000 clients so far. There aren't too many possible variants to worry about and scammers tend to target other legal matters such as property and wills anyway so no concerns to raise here. I say oddly bec...


RSR Law Ltd Review: Hopefully you'll now see why we thought this firm would be a good addition to the 1to1Legal network - e.g. Specialist Solicitor = Success" relating to personal injuries. (It's F.A.S.T. Contact. Which is neither clear or helpful. So we'll stick with facts to draw...


SBW Law Ltd Review: No firm is ever going to state they are 'cold' or 'unfriendly'. The latter means there are no fees charged to the client at all, win or lose. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 622256 sbw-law-limited" check out the page< a> for any firm you'll be given a...


Serious Law LLP Review: class="infoquote "We support you for as long as you need us. However Serious Law really do tick a lot of boxes. We've just spent a whole month trying to get a negative review removed under our name. Plus one of the main measuring bars of the legal industry (The Legal 5...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: Not only that, when it turned out the staff member couldn't actually help with the problem - they gave some helpful advice and passed them on to someone that might be able to deal with the matter rather than just saying 'sorry, can't help you'. Sadly the number of people ht...


Taborns Legal Business Review: Depending on your particular need one may be far more suited than the other. In fact, Taborns' setup had a very familiar ring to it. We have several firms on the network that are brand new startups, consultants, or sole practitioners. Taborns is therefore much more of a bu...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: Ten years may not sound like a lot when confronted by law firms stating establishment dates back in the 1800s. A quick note on navigation too as the firm uses generic terms for the website address which we've know to possible cause some problems where people mix up '...


The Johnson Partnership Review: Yelp.co.uk brought up reviews for the US law firm as well. Everyone detained in a police station or interviewed under caution qualifies for legal advice and assistance free of charge, irrespective of means."< div> A quick note on navigation. So when you see the ...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: For example, the phrase 'No Win, No Fee' only means that there are no costs if your case loses. But it's not the right name. 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...


White Collar Legal Review: After one hour in a CAB office, White Collar (Legal and Admin) Ltd will suddenly seem like a godsend. The list of services offered is quite extensive considering, offering help with financial mis-selling, landlord tenant disputes, personal injury, wills, etc. Of course...
