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: Of course, no firm would ever state the opposite of these sentiments. Or two solicitors with 40 years' experience and one with 5. Thousands of people have simply handed over millions of pounds to fraudsters. Two examples are Jenna Hargreaves and Dilip Raveendran, lawyers at ...


Antony Hodari Solicitors Review: Housing disrepair on the other hand are cases we've always understood to require considerable work for the amount of pay off for the solicitor. Antony Hodari's claims in the snippet above were taken from their front page and are much more believable and can be checked on t...


Argue & Co Legal Review: But they really don't. Then there will be a fifty year established divorce specialists with less reviews than I have fingers.

Backhouse Solicitors Review: etc. class="infoquote "Visiting a solicitor can be a daunting experience, particularly if you’ve never done it before. Note that you may need to enter the full name plus location of a firm (e.g. We want to change that."< div> Rather than disecting every word o...


Beers LLP Review: The only negative comment we saw was a complaint about a solicitor called 'Monty'. It's true the majority of firms we write about are going to receive fairly positive comments because we've already vetted them for addition to our search database. But we didn't see such a s...


Bell Lax Solicitors Review: Many of which probably wouldn't interest members of the general public though unless it related to their actual case. Typically the 'Blog' or 'News' section of a law firm's website is just another selection of articles saying how great the firm is or a single filler article ...


BLZ Solicitors Review: In our opinion you shouldn't count repetitive wording or stock images on a site against any of them.. If you've seen a firm with dozens of solicitors, some with over twenty years experience, across a wide range of case types - will they handle your case (and you personally) ...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP Review: However it really all depends on how the firm is set up . As mentioned before, such a huge range of seasoned professionals mixed with fresh legs and ideas has not been seen by us in over twenty years of working with law firms. Firms that handle a single case type call the...


Bridge McFarland LLP Review: Don't be afraid to call the official number you already have if anything you receive seems even remotely suspicious. This is hugely important because the firm deals with property matters which have been https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-fr...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Review: And they talk normal" "easy to get through to my solicitor and they replied to me promptly" "Put him at ease from the word go" "Everything we wanted was sorted promptly"< div> There were a lot of positive messages left on the boards, but sadly not a lot of g...

There are negative reviews from people who were told they didn't have a case. Whilst most of our arti...


CEL Solicitors Review: So to see CEL stating something that turned out to be both true AND not jargon-twisted - is a much bigger deal for us than you might think! class="infoquote "Our services include: data breach claims, fraud claims, housing disrepair claims, Japanese knotweed claims, la...


Cooks Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Dianne Sumner has over twenty-five years' experience of helping people move house. All trading names, office locations, languages spoken, case types handled, solicitors' qualification dates, and more are usually available. But if you would like to lo...


David Stinson & Co Review: The main issue with typing wrong web addresses directly into the browser bar is that when typos like that occur you can end up being redirected to a https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Phishing" phishing< a> site. The only exception to this would really be a medical neglige...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk Review: There are several good reasons for this, but the main one being that the majority of them simply take your details and sell them on to the highest bidder. To summarise previous articles, there are three main types of setup when it comes to law firms and their case ranges. ...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd Review: So whilst someone might be very quick to jump online and talk about a pizza they just ordered - they may be more reluctant to discuss how well their dead father's contentious probate went. But again if not available on a firm's site, it is often listed in the law society d...


Fair Result Ltd Review: However no-one seemed willing ... The key is agreeing the financial settlement in the form of a consent order, this is where we believe we are unique."< div> In the same vein, many firms also state they have a 'uniqueness' just like Fair Result have done. yet. We simply...


Frazer Coogans Ltd Review: We've said it before but it's worth saying again - in our opinion 'established in ...' dates absolutely do not matter. Unlike tech companies , food outlets, streaming services, or practically any company these days where the newer they are the more popular they seem to get ...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents Review: Hazel managed to keep my spirits up as well as using her knowledge, experience and "determination to see the purchase go through" "always available to answer any question and keep me updated "< div> Fulton's have considerable positive reviews dotted around the af...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Review: Modern Systems. While people are comfortable going online to say whether they like a pizza restaurant or not - they are less inclined to publicly discuss their bankruptcy proceeding, messy divorce, or criminal charges. Making sure you are on the correct website and...


Guardian Law Review: class="infoquote "Get instant access to our FREE People Manager's Guide before you have your difficult conversation with an employee" "Access our FREE Guide to Employment Contracts to find out what's missing in your contract"< div> One thing which really sto...


Hawkridge & Company Review: This firm is signed to The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473274 hawkridge-company-llp" they offer a huge range< a> of information about the firms they list. As mentioned before though, make sure to read ...


Hill House Chambers Review: A chambers is more like a collective of individuals so whilst there will be a main office monitoring everything, you will typically be much more involved with the person handling your case. Typically we refer, like most consumers, to the third party boards such as Google, ...


HooperHyde Review: On hand ready to help you with your business needs."< div> The majority of firms will make a statement like this one on the HooperHyde site relating to their experience. It's very common. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 164931 catherine-louise-hyde" ...


Jacobs Law Solicitors Review: However for all three - they're quite meaningless. Which also means having worked with thousands of professionals within that industry during that time. class="infoquote "worked tirelessly in what turned out to be a very complicated sale" "we felt supported and i...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd Review: So despite there being a long list of types of injuries, covering them all still counts as a specialised area of law. Prior to this date the law firm was called JPS Legal Ltd. For this we'll be using the website of JPS Walker Solicitors as our example. But hopefully th...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd Review: There are a few other things that stand out about this firm over others as well. Such as: class="infoquote "I appreciate how busy people are ...

Mckie Legal Review: Since the huge shake up to legal aid in the 90s, solicitors now mostly offer to run claims cases for free. But whether a solicitor charges a success fee or not shouldn't be the end-all of your decision to use them. We're not sure about the Wigan office the law society is sti...


Michael Leighton Jones Review: However it would still be fair to call this firm a group of 'specialists' as well. Some even use identical images of people in suits smiling and shaking hands. Others include Peter FitzGerald who joined the UK legal system in 1996, right up to Sarah Price in 2003. There a...


Milners Solicitors Review: Therefore it's very important for good firms to make sure they have such staff profiles. (Quick tip, if you want to see reviews about a specific office near you, you need to add the town name to the search such as 'milners law wakefield'.) The official website we link to a...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: It usually relates to the length of time the firm has been running or the highest number of years a specific lawyer at the firm has been working at the job.

My Law Matters Review: They provide all alternate trading names, other office locations, languages spoken, case types handled, and the qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. Because whilst many negative comments can be totally unhelpful (e.g. class="infoquote "we alway...


OneLaw Chambers Review: Despite the two words being generic terms (i.e. Scammers email property buying clients telling them the bank details for their deposit has changed and apparently thousands of people have simply sent the money to the fraudster's bank account without bothering to check with t...


Pacific Law Review: We've seen one law firm get a stunning review that ended with the phrase 'best dog-friendly restaurant ever'. The official website we link to above is www.pacificlaw.co.uk, however recently they changed this www.pacificlaw.org - but either will get you to the correct ...


Rose Fendlen Law Review: class="infoquote "Rose Fendlen Law is a trading name of LROSE Law Limited"< div> A quick note on navigation as the firm changed trading name in late 2022. Most people that end up on our site have usually already scrolled through a dozen or so law firm sites bef...

Simper Law Ltd Review: For some reason though, the legal industry still has the complete opposite mentality. You'll also be shown the qualification dates and specific case expertise of each solicitor within the firm. Especially the review we saw where a person looking to divorce was mad at a...


Smith and Graham Solicitors Review: However make sure you enter the full name of the firm and the town. There is no ampersand in domain names so www.smith&graham.co.uk can't exist and currently no firms are using variants such as 'www.smithgraham.co.uk' either. The best resource we've found is The Law...

This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are already dealing with the death itself. But it may be an idea...


Stowe Family Law Review: Some firms have very little writing with massive images of people shaking hands and smiling. So how can you tell the difference between firms if they all say they have experience and expertise? Luckily Stowe Family Law are listed on the website of The Law Society of England ...


Summerfield Browne Solicitors Review: However, since this firm handles business matters as well we gave them a little more weight as the company's own brand is stated behind their praise. We've been working in the legal industry for over 20 years so have met plenty on the way. A mix of seasoned professional ...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd Review: That's just plain rude. They have their own https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company OC348725 officers" companies house registration< a> page and they are registered separately with their https: hampshirelawsociety.co.uk services swain-and-co-so...


Taylor Price Solicitors Review: It's not the age of the firm that's important, but the experience levels of the staff. Word like 'friendly', 'efficient' or 'modern' pop up constantly but don't really help to distinguish that firm from their competitors. William Ho qualified as a solicitor in 1989, Ruby Bh...


Thaxted Legal Ltd Review: There are also several other Ltd companies with Thaxted in the name so just pay close attention when looking up things like reviews. So if there are no official good places to get information about the firm you're researching, the next obvious thing people try are the...


Stephanie Heijdra Review: She also runs the Winvolved Legal Consultancy using www.winvolvedlegal.co.uk Her name is very unique so you should get a good link appearing at the top of the results. class="infoquote "She went on to study for a Degree in Business Management at BPP University London...

ULA Solicitors Ltd Review: They even listed the fact they work with Legal Aid clearly on their funding options page. But what do the third party sites say customer feedback is like for this firm? class="infoquote "was very helpful and he did not allow the officer to ask me anything which c...


WH Solicitors Review: Sometimes based on nothing more than a single official-looking email saying to do so. The number of reviews that are for the completely wrong firm (which we'll cover in an moment) are just ridiculous. Also whilst the branding and page content focuses on the name 'WH S...

Two Harcourt Buildings Review: Sadly, many of them do you not help you pick a firm. These variant firms are separate teams of barristers despite sharing the same address. Coming back to the differences in setup mentioned before, a law chambers is not like a law firm of solicitors. As you can see, e...


Woodstock Legal Services Review: The current official website is www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk but www.woodstocklegalservices.com does not currently redirect. They include direct contact information and work history details of each staff member which is perfect. With three words 'woodstock', 'legal' and...


Youngs Solicitors Review: At the bottom of some of the pages on the Youngs website they link to their independent review boards on Google and Trustpilot.
