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: Lastly there are firms that write statements such as the one from ABS Lawyers' site above saying they have X amount of years of 'combined experience'. There are other options provided by non-solicitor backed companies, or charities, either independent or goverment set u...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: Having just an "a" in front of "conveyancing" did cause some minor issues when trying to research the firm. If we had to find a niggle with this firm, then that would be it - i.e. Often all the on the same day. Also, there is a huge issue of fake reviews where for every nega...


Antony Hodari Solicitors Review: It will tell you alternative trading names they use, other possibly more local offices to you, languages spoken, speciality case types, and more. Antony Hodari Solicitors are a very niche firm covering just one specific case type within the area of litigation - housing dis...


Argue & Co Legal Review: Litigation matters such as personal injury have huge range of sub-titles including medical negligence, slips trips, work accidents, whiplash, and so on. It depends greatly on the case type. We've seen the most absurd negative reviews against solicitors. And even a one star...


Aspire Licensing Review: Much more than a firm that only covers a handful of such cases each month as part of their general commercial legal work. Is this a negative point then? Licensing is an area of law where you can have help and be represented by a non-court-qualified person. Mostly due to...


Beers LLP Review: It's very common for solicitors to do this. Unfortunately that needed to be said because there isn't much negative about Beers LLP for us to focus on. Unlike hairdressers or restaurants, law firms can end up with negative reviews from the side they beat in a case. We ...


Bilkus & Boyle Review: (Yes, it's that comparable.) So a firm still willing to work with people who can't afford a solicitor otherwise and therefore accept the much, much lower pay Legal Aid gives solicitors - is a very positive brownie point in their favour . We always advise reading actual com...


BLZ Solicitors Review: If someone seems genuinely interested in your case it seems to really, really count. On https: blzsolicitors.co.uk meet-the-team " the BLZ staff page< a> it initially looks as though they are doing the same. In our opinion you shouldn't count repetitive wording or stock i...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP Review: If you've read any of our other articles before, you'll know that we don't put a lot of stock in 'established in ...' ancient date claims by law firms. class="infoquote "As such, we work with an established network of independent law firms in jurisdictions that include...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co Review: Unfortunately, in the heat of anger it seems that a considerable number of people who are unhappy with a 'QualitySolicitors' branded firm - simply rush online and write a negative review against the first 'QualitySolicitors' branded firm they come across. But this sort of ...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: That's great. You are just as likely to get a one year qualified newbie solicitor from a one hundred year old practice as you are to get a twenty year well-seasoned solicitor from a one year old law firm brand. These are random snippets across a wide range of reviewers, mos...


CEL Solicitors Review: Especially if this was the umpteenth law site you've visited today as they can start to appear unbelievably similar after a while. I missed the PPI deadline but they still got me my money"< div> These are snippets from some of the third party review forums. But it can g...


Cooks Solicitors Review: Such as the firm that claimed a '150 year history' in an area simply because they moved into the building an older legal practice originally owned. The experience levels of the solicitor running your case is the most crucial number out of the two. Not their own clients. So ...

Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: QualitySolicitors). Quite often when a firm merges with another they will either merge the names too or simply drop one to move forward with the most recognisable strong branding out of the two. class="infoquote "We will provide free first advice."< div> . For e...


David Stinson & Co Review: The main difference between firms on the matter of fees is how they reclaim their own costs should the case win or lose. On the David Stinson & Co website there is https: www.davidstinson.co.uk testimonials" a page marked 'Testimonials'< a> but there aren't any ac...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk Review: To summarise previous articles, there are three main types of setup when it comes to law firms and their case ranges. Or better still, post underneath their ad post asking for their regulatory status and number to try and warn others not to deal with them should they be ...


DV Solicitors Review: You may get a one year qualified solicitor from a 200 year old firm. class="infoquote "Deo Volente have been providing personalised, pragmatic services to a diverse portfolio of clients for over 7 years."< div> DV Solicitors came up as a good firm to be added to...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: Unfortunately such terms are actually unhelpful because no firm is going to claim to be 'draconian', 'novices', 'in-experienced', and 'unfriendly' - are they? So what parts can you use and where can you look for good information to compare lawyers against each other? ...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: Whilst ELS do display a few testimonials on their website e.g: class="infoquote "highly professional, advice was thorough and fully informative" "thank you for being very straightforward"< div> We found only one on the public boards. But just as a specialist ind...


Fair Result Ltd Review: On top of that they provide free work up front to show what they can do and then fixed fee agreements. This includes direct access barristers, non-legal solutions, and mediation service providers. Even 'fair result ltd' provided only a handful of related sites including thei...


Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: A quick note on navigation. Watch out for Google ads though as some keyword matching ads did pop up for us on some of the mis-spellings. You can get a 1-year novice from a 200-year old firm. class="infoquote "went the extra mile to extract all the information I ...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: For all we know they called Fultons about a divorce case and was refused representation. Just https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=fulton&Postcode=&type=firm" some search results< a> class="infoquote "We have been helping our clients from our base in the...


Hawkridge & Company Review: This is important to note because over the past few years https: www.moneysavingexpert.com shopping stop-scams " thousands of people have handed over millions of pounds< a> to fraudsters. One thing people do comment on readily though when it comes to legal s...


HooperHyde Review: Hooper Hyde state each lawyer has at least 10 years' experience. Sadly, some businesses use marketing jargon to try and cover up when they don't have a good deal of experience. As stated above though, for legal services that should not be taken as a negative sign. Sometimes ...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: Often those little badges at the bottom of law firm's pages aren't just for show either. So with so many variants such as www.howeandco.com being available and www.howeandco.co.uk being owned by someone else - make sure you're on the right website and never discuss payments...


Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: But that's simply not true. If you are looking for help with a property matter, this sort of online care is even more important https: monzo.com blog we-sent-our-house-deposit-to-a-fraudster-who-posed-as-our-lawyer" due to a long-term scamming technique< a> of gettin...


Khan Law Review: Sometimes based on nothing more than an official-looking email telling them the bank details for payment have changed. If you've already been through a dozen websites of law firms today, you'll probably have been disheartened at just how similar they all seem. For us, ...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd Review: The official site which we link to above is www.krsep.co.uk with www.krsep.com not redirecting there. They provide alternative trading names for each legal practice, case types handled, other office locations, languages spoken, and most usefully - the qualification dates of ...


Lefevres Law Review: The name is quite unique so any searches for 'lefevers solicitors', 'lefevere's law', or other commonly expected errors all still brought up the correct site in searches. The Law Society of Scotland does https: www.lawscot.org.uk news-and-events legal-news iain-nicol-joins...


Levins Solicitors Review: The firm has a range of experienced staff qualified over the past four decades such as David Woods (qualified in 1984), Tracy Morgan (2003), and Jonathan Heath (2011). Not least to help them feel the firm more approachable. The official website of the firm is www.levin...


Lindsays Solicitors Review: The contact details and links above are for Calio Claims which is a specialist setup from Lindsays focusing on Personal Injury matters. To get a wider view that includes negative opinions. Not just the legal industry, but all companies as a whole. So is this positivity refl...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: But www.mason&bullock.co.uk can't exist because you're not allowed ampersands in web addresses. The official site is www.masonbullock.co.uk with www.masonbullock.com not currently being owned by the firm. So it's always a good idea to bookmark sites like this if you plan on ...


Mckie Legal Review: You never know what fraudsters will think of next though so always keep aware and never discuss bank details over the phone.. A quick note on navigation considering the related names as we even saw three different addresses for the firm popping up. For example: c...


Michael Leighton Jones Review: They are good words. Because the firm deals with conveyancing matters we would recommend bookmarking the site or using a search to make sure you get back safely. Alot of problems such as ' https: www.actionfraud.police.uk a-z-of-fraud phishing" phishing< a>' can ha...


Milners Solicitors Review: Multiple offices, a wide case range, and various solicitors working on their own specialist case subjects. There is further information about staff members http: abstractionit.co.uk milnerslaw solicitor-staff " on the Milner's website< a>. But we've seen negative re...


My Law Matters Review: Sadly thousands of people https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1497866 Lloyds-bank-scam-warning-fraud-money-box-uk" have handed their house deposit over to scammers< a> after simply receiving an email stating the payment details for their solicitor had changed...


OneLaw Chambers Review: The biggest difference being that these are all very positive comments handpicked by the firm to appear on their website. Right now the largest scam by far plaguing the legal industry is house deposit fraud. A solicitor that helps you with your immigration applicatio...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: So not to be sneezed at. OTS Solicitors state being listed in https: www.legal500.com " The Legal 500< a>, which unfortunately is probably more known amongst other legal industry professionals rather than general consumers. For some reason we can't quite fathom, the buyer...


Pacific Law Review: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty year experienced lawyer that joined a new legal practice starting up in their area. ​ class="infoquote "Here at Pacific Law, we have embraced the modern wo...


Penerley Lawyers Review: Obviously during lockdown though everything is a bit haywire. But at the moment, Google is listing their hours as closed all weekend. The official site we link to above is www.penerley.co.uk and www.penerley.com redirects you there as well. The branding is very unique so n...


Pump Court Chambers Review: She really made me feel at ease" "Matthew was on hand at all times and took me through each step of the process" "Very impressed with the service provided by Richard Wayman during an employment tribunal"< div> So make sure you really are happy with the barrist...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: Quite often this is not reflected in the public reviews of those firms. None of the mis-spellings or full branding domains such as www.reidblacksolicitors.com .co.uk seemed to be showing anything either. That doesn't mean we are bias for the sake of it. The majority are ...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: A last word from the company's site: class="infoquote "Our litigation team has the wealth of experience in dealing with all types of litigation matters, whether these are civil or commercial"< div>. The information provided user-side rivals anything we've seen from oth...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: Not just for the legal industry either. For example a solicitor consulting with a barrister on your issue to improve it's chances pf success is a very different thing. Links to pages on official sites such as companies house or the practice solicitor's local law society. It'...


The Search Bureau Review: However, as already mentioned at the outset of this piece, there often isn't as much to go on when it comes to service providers to the law firms we often write about. Groundsure Location Intelligence provide land analysis to check contamination, flooding and ground stabilit...


Simper Law Ltd Review: class="infoquote "our practice has quickly gained a good reputation within the legal world"< div> In most industries these days people praise the 'new'. Last year we ran a poll asking people whether they paid attention to testimonials on company websites and only ...

Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors Review: However if a single solicitor says they are a specialist in Family Law, Litigation, Criminal Law, and Conveyancing - that's when the term is not being used fairly. A 1-year-old firm might have several 40-year veterans on staff . So when a firm lists several case types from ...


Springle & Co Solicitors Review: However, this is common for legal service providers. The official website is www.springleandco.co.uk which we link to above, with www.springleandco.com not currently owned by anyone. Another phrase concept we seem to have imported from the US. The bees knees. A quick note on...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: This includes Joan Thorpe-Anderson who qualified in 1993, Caspar Kennedy in 2008, Deepa Sevani in 2015, and so on. We've seen a law firm with a five star review for their pet-friendly cafe. But how are people feeling about the services they've received from Stenfield Sol...


Taylor Price Solicitors Review: But later on in the site they also state: class="infoquote "The management team spearheading Taylor Price Solicitors consists of legal professionals with over 45 years of combined legal experience"< div> Which is the main point to take away from this mini-rant abo...


The Legal Practice Ltd Review: This firm https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 453772 the-legal-practice-ltd" is registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is wonderful because out of all the law societies available, they have the best user-side data by far . If you type those t...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd Review: Indeed as you can probably tell from our article - we're quite impressed with the firm in it's setup, focus, and site language . The majority did so simply because they received an email that told them the bank details for their solicitor had changed. The official site we ...


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. They also offer a fully online service called a DIY Probate Toolkit at a fraction of the cost of the managed service. We do ou ch...


ULA Solicitors Ltd Review: There is a difference (and we'll tell you how to spot it below) between a firm where all the solicitors try to handle all the various case types - and a firm where each of the solicitors are specialists in their own area of law. We recently found out consumers also actuall...


Youngs Solicitors Review: This is something we've covered before in our articles and is one of the main reasons we urge people to read through the actual comments rather than simply check average star ratings. class="infoquote "Our specialisation in our key areas make us experts rather than 'ja...
