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: Whilst https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conveyancing-scam-friday-afternoon-fraud-legal-sector-email-hacker" scammers seem to have mainly hit property solicitors< a> in recent years, there is so much https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Phishing" phishing...
5 Essex Court Review: There is a also a full list of the barristers available along with their experience and expertise. In closing we'll leave you with the firm's own description of it's offering: class="infoquote "A top-tier civil law set of chambers recognised for our exemplary cli...
Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: It may have nothing to do with their actual legal expertise. For all we know their award could have been for a good website design or a medal for taking part in a local charity fun-run. Something to watch out for. On this occasion though, we're going to break with tradition...
Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: Whilst it would obviously be impossible for us to come up with enough legal matters to truly test every firm we review - we certainly do our background checks and quite often get to know people at a firm before having them on board. Is it a good thing? We think so. Th...
Apprise Legal Services Review: The official site we link to above is www.apprisels.co.uk with www.apprisels.com not currently showing anything. Rather than being a general practice firm that happens to do Will Probate matters as well - Apprise do nothing but such work. There has been a huge rise i...
APS Legal & Associates Review: Unlike a single fixed firm with maybe a dozen employees, it's much harder to use testimonials or independent reviews when judging the merits of a nationwide collective of consultants. At the moment both www.apslegal.com and www.apslegal.co.uk don't seem to be owned by the fi...
Asghar & Co Ltd Review: www.asgharsolicitors.com) it's probably a good idea to bookmark the website if you plan on coming back. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 594070 asghar-co-solicitors-limited?Solicitors=True" check out the page for this firm< a> you'll see...
Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd Review: No bake sales for charity covered in the local newspaper, etc. ALS states quite a few times across their site about your right to have a like for like replacement vehicle. We still have no intention of ever selling your details on to claims firms to be sold on and resold on...
Avery Walters Solicitors Review: So how can you tell the jargon from the actual promises and the quality firms from the bad? Well, there are actually more tools available than you might think. Avery Walters on the other hand was a firm we identified as one we'd like to have on the network and actually w...
AWH Solicitors Review: We hope it's clear by now why we decided to add this firm to the 1to1Legal network and recommend them to people. Every solicitor that handles Personal Injury for example should never take any money up front or even if the case loses (the infamous no win, no fee) . Or...
Briffa Legal Ltd Review: (I really don't care what my solicitor's hobbies, pets or favourite colour are. It's rarely there and we make a point of mentioning it in their review along with a snapshot of the infamous "No.1 in the area! (*according to my mother)" billboard produced by a US realtor. Bu...
CFG Law Review: Be aware that www.cfg.co.uk and www.cfg.com both are different firms, and searching for the three letters on their own on a search engine will bring up hundreds of firms not even in the same industry. One final note about navigation as we're dealing with an acronym. On...
CSL Law Ltd Review: There's not much they can do about that now. That brings us to navigation. From a statistical and sociological standpoint - that's a positive thing. The typical review sites such as Yell, 192, Yelp, and Google have only a handful of comments and (at the time of wri...
DFA Law LLP Review: A really good mix of old, wiser heads running a firm that still has some young-blood eager to prove themselves. We guarantee you there is no 200-year-old solicitor sitting behind the desk of any law firm in the UK. Always a good sign. Sometimes when researching a company on...
Driscoll Kingston Review: You can't get '&' characters in web addresses anyway. On checking just now they list several individuals for Driscoll Kingston such as David Edwards, Julie Twist, Karla-lea Kingston, and Joanne Bold with 30 years, 20 years, 16 years, and 6 years experience respectively. ...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: There is an almost mirror of that site again at www.hammondtrotter.co.uk but nothing at all at www.hammondtrotter.com and we didn't even check the hyphenated versions. It's a sad but true statement, and naturally results in many people pleading guilty just to save time and ...
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. Not only that, they even have their own Wikipedia page. For some, just seeing the "more than 30 ...
Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: class="infoquote "I have represented clients facing prosecution for driving offences throughout England & Wales during my whole career."< div> We knew Frank Rogers when he was with Kirwans, so are aware of his previous experience. There is a Law Society website fo...
GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Certainly, if there is a recurring theme of incompetence in the reviews then that's something to take note of. The website is concise with everything in it's place. A 200-year old firm might still stick you with a 1-year qualified solicitor to run your case. There are ...
Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: For example, we've always made our thoughts about 'online compensation calculators' very clear. You can look up the expertise and years of experience of any solicitor registered with The Law Socienty. Having spent more than a year 'face down on the wet pavements of Liverpo...
Helix Law Ltd Review: I spoke to Laura Albon who helped talk through my situation and offered some valuable thoughts."< div> There are various ways in which firms obtain testimonials. Some will directly ask customers to provide something in writing using a 'customer feedback questionnaire' a...
HJA Solicitors Review: On our network we're partnered with many firms that could be considered 'big'. You'd be lucky to scrape up even a handful on any particular firm. think "okay, I got it", and move on. On the subject of their website, we should make a quick note about navigation. Of cour...
Howe + Co Solicitors Review: Luckily there are many resources available on the web for some independent backchecks and information. There are hundreds of reports of people https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1176297 property-for-sale-scam-fraud-warning-news-mortgage" being scamm...
R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: Also The Law Society page we link to above will link you to a law firm called Hadcalry Ltd, although thankfully that branding does not appear to have it's own website. But if your case wins, the solicitor may take up to a 25% cut of your settlement. We would therefore recom...
Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: That's why we have local, international, large, small, general practice, niche boutique, solicitors, barristers, accountants, paralegals and more. When checking out review boards though, we always suggest you read comments rather than just look at star ratings. That snippet...
IWC Probate & Will Services Review: That's a big deal. class="infoquote "There are various of ways to contact us, including Telephone, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, BBM, Mail, Webform or Email. That doesn't mean it won't be helpful (at least we hope it will). For a start, they are the only legal s...
Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: What does that mean? Well, at the very least they are modern enough to understand the internet (you'd be surprised how many law firms still haven't caught up). The second is opening hours. We checked several variants such as www.jarmansolicitors.co.uk and those with hyphens,...
Joanna Connolly Solicitors Review: That last one is quite important. No conflicts - which is nice. Previously Head of Consumer Credit Litigation at MSB Solicitors, Joanna has had extensive litigation experience in both the County Courts and High Courts level. The firm can offer assistance in defending Co...
Kudos Legal Ltd Review: If you click on the names of each person you'll see more information such as their specialist case types. There didn't seem to be a website for the London based Kudos Law Ltd. The only issue when looking such things up is that there doesn't seem to be a clear separation betw...
Lawcomm Solicitors Review: My solicitor Sophie has been so helpful." "Very helpful, lawcomm always picked up phone calls straight away. On this firm's site however, there seems to be a genuine provision of pieces intended to help with titles such as "Will the New Shared Ownership Model Work?" and...
Leech & Co Review: Naturally the level of expertise and experience grows faster and they are more likely to be up-to-date with the latest developments and opportunities in that sector. As we've pointed out in the past, you can go to the Law Society website and look up any firm you're cons...
Levins Solicitors Review: A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside young blood eager to prove themselves. class="infoquote "We were established in 1986 as Keith Levin & Co, initially in Huyton village."< div> There is a trend amongst law firms to state the most ancient founding date they ...
Aconveyancing Ltd Review: If we had to find a niggle with this firm, then that would be it - i.e. You may very well get a one year qualified solicitor taking your case at a 200 year old firm. However we have seen several property firms with much more available opening hours than Aconveyancing, extend...
Linkilaw Solicitors Review: Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is actually the best site we've seen out of such organisations. If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 631933 linkilaw-solicitors-limited" the section for this firm...
NV Legal Ltd Review: You can end up having someone's secretary as your only point of contact. However, communication between client and the legal practice they've chosen is hugely important.
class="infoquote "With more than 20 years' experience, our solicitors are all personal injury exp...
Alexander JLO Solicitors 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. On the AlexanderJLO site each staff member has a direct email address displayed and a link t...
McEwan Fraser Legal Review: If anyone emails or phones you about payments or bank details - do not respond. To keep over 4 stars takes some doing. However, McEwan Fraser Legal actually are out of the ordinary when it comes to the things we tend to commend other firm for. We could send you an email tod...
MGBe Legal Review:
The main website is currently www.mgbelegal.com as we've linked to above. 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 individual solicitor is their ...
MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review:
Unfortunately MTA Solicitors seem to have been incorrectly blamed for a cold-calling scam which you can see detailed https: www.sra.org.uk consumers scam-alerts 2019 aug mta-solicitors-llp-mta-personal-injury-solicitors-llp " on the official Solicitors Regulation ...
OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: It is certainly not the case that the standard high street law firm is the best option in every scenario. Right now the main target for scammers are property law firms because of the huge amounts of money they can try and trick people into putting in the wrong place. So a fi...
OTS Solicitors Ltd Review:
class="infoquote "our team of solicitors are described as 'professional' and 'extremely knowledgeable'"< div>
In every area of the UK there are various Law Societies which legal professionals can sign up to. Words such as 'leading', 'modern', 'expertise', and esp...
Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: If you use up the hour asking questions you could have had the answers to for free online - then that's money down the drain. Also, in some of the searches we tested, the website of their parent company www.penngroup.co.uk showed up as the top result. On the subject of navig...
RD Costings Review: (Yes, we have experience in this area. With the branding containing a plural there's always a tendancy for people to drop the 's' by mistake.
Criminal injury claims obviously require considerable tact in light of the types of cases brought. That's because the chances...
Redwood Collections Ltd Review: No disrepect meant to the many law firms that handle debt collection, but using a firm that is solely built to handle this single case type does generally provide more speedy results.
class="infoquote "Commission is only charged upon successful collections. There aren'...
Reid Black Solicitors Review:
All these together hopefully show why we thought Reid Black Solicitors were a good match for our network . Having started back in 1999, we obviously put more focus on building up a database of firms based on higher population areas first. Most solicitors will register...
Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: For example a solicitor consulting with a barrister on your issue to improve it's chances pf success is a very different thing. For example, an accountant to help with tax matters. It's quite far from the common marketing jargon you've probably seen on a dozen other law firm...
RSR Law Ltd Review: We would still recommend bookmarking the official site above once on it just to be sure.
Any other downsides? Yes. Sometimes however, we run into a firm during the course of our day-to-day dealings that simply piques our interest. Contact. not just a specialised focus, ...
