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: Both statements are true. Nothing about the facts or background we provide not being useful. Even Medical Negligence and Criminal Injury cases will typically be no win, no fee. However, the website states they have 20 years of experience in various personal injury matters....


5 Essex Court Review: Until recently, the public didn't have any say in this. We've linked to the official www.5essexcourt.co.uk above but www.5essexcourt.com is currently a chinese lottery site. On this site like most chambers you'll be presented with each barrister's case focus, experience and ...


ABS Lawyers Ltd Review: This brings us to one of the main reasons we were very keen to have ABS Lawyers Ltd on our network . If the firm you're researching is signed up to them - wonderful. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 600584 abs-lawyers-limited" check ou...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: made for a very smooth stress free experience" "Always professional and thorough, always prompt in their response."< div> Despite us saying conveyancers get a lot of negative comments, this is always unbalanced because of how people are more likely to jump on the i...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: On this occasion though, we're going to break with tradition because the comments are not the usual "Highly recommend!" blandness. It can also really help with firms that make statements such as '20 years of experience within the firm'. It states that Aina Khan qual...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: We are pleased that most of our work comes from repeat clients which hopefully means we are doing something right."< div> These days people are very suspicious of testimonials on any company website. I didnпїЅt know solicitors could have a sense of humour" "Mark Go...


Apprise Legal Services Review: he offered best practice advice and provide real insight into the how, what, where and why of the legal considerations of what we needed to achieve" "I have and will continue to recommend him to my contacts requiring his services"< div> However a poll we ran a coup...


APS Legal & Associates Review: If you don't want to scroll through the whole sales pitch, then just scroll down to the bottom of any page. class="infoquote "Great personal service, flexible to suit personal circumstances which was priceless for working parents of a young family." "A very person...


Aspire Licensing Review: Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. However even then there are options such as hiring a barrister through the new Direct Access scheme instead of going through a solicitor. They handle what would be considered legal m...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: 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 for everyone.. Another thing to watch for is how you appraise public revi...


AWH Solicitors Review: When researching this firm yourself around the web, you may see names such as Carter Law, Roebucks Solicitors, and Roberts Jackson Solicitors. But we've been working with law firms for over 20 years now and can confidently say that any official Lexcel, Law Society or L...


Bilkus & Boyle Review: So when we say B&B have a very positive rating, that's actually quite an accomplishment for a firm dealing with property matters. You may also find that many of the lowest ratings often have nothing to do with the firm's services. But there are plenty of good indica...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: Thousands of people have lost millions of pounds to these fraudsters. The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. In all honesty, no legal practice has a ...


DFA Law LLP Review: In any industry, not just for law. But what about the client reviews we mentioned at the start? Certainly the firm has glowing testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "... A really good mix of old, wiser heads running a firm that still has some young-blood eage...


DV Solicitors Review: However both www.deovolente.com and www.deovolente.co.uk are owned by other firms. Such as: class="infoquote "have gone beyond and above in all areas of our transaction" "an immense pleasure to acquire your proficient services" "carried out all the required r...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: One lesser known area of litigation is Special Education Needs work (SEN). You never know what scam will be next though so always make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments or bank details via email . There are quite a few large firms t...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: For others, they like to see newspaper snippets about the firm helping in the local community or being asked their opinion for an article. But Fieldfisher actually list their achievements with links including Legal Business Awards 'Law Firm of the Year', Solicitors Journal...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: We saw that www.frankrogers.co.uk is a different firm dealing with property with neither www.frankrogerslaw.com or www.frankrogers.com having anything on them yet. Unfortunately most companies, not just in the legal industry, use the Blog section to create a dozen extra sale...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Overall though, each office has positive reviews: class="infoquote • "... GloverPriests cover most of these. We've seen negative reviews for when the buyer seller pulls out, for incorrect local searches, for third party delays - all of which the client be...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: Being updated even just to say 'we're still waiting to hear from X' , can help with peace of mind. Do Hampson Hughes Solicitors do well in this area? Their own website testimonials certainly say so, but that's to be expected. As you'll have seen on the Law Soci...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: Other companies such as John Howe & Co Solicitors are using www.jhowe.co.uk, and The Howe Practice have www.thehowepractice.co.uk so it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it just to be sure. class="infoquote "We act on our client's in...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: From the Hutcheons Law site: class="infoquote "Many solicitors are now charging 25% of the client's compensation due to a change in the Law from April 2013 ... So when they make this claim on their website: class="infoquote "litigation experience spanning more th...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: Some are certainly more interesting than others. Put it all together and you can get a much better picture of how well established and how strong a firm and the team within it are. However the staff profiles on this firm's site were spot on. That snippet from Ian Mal...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: We checked several variants such as www.jarmansolicitors.co.uk and those with hyphens, as well as other TLDs including www.jarmansolicitors.com and www.jarmanssolicitors.com - but none of them seemed to be owned by the firm. It's almost as if they've all hired the same conte...


Khan Law Review: So Khan Law clearly stating the actual award is therefore quite a rarity and should not be overlooked. 100% compensation means there are no fees to you whether your case wins or loses. They have the obligatory testimonials on their website. It may therefore be a good idea...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: There didn't seem to be a website for the London based Kudos Law Ltd. Whilst joined together under the United Kingdom banner, Scotland has an individual legal system, NHS, and various government branches. Your preferred English law firm may not be the best choice for that hi...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: by the current Managing Director from a single desk and has grown steadily"< div> When checking out solicitors, 1999 as a established date may sound quite new with so many firms proudly quoting founding dates 100+ years or more. If you needed to speak to someone in part...


Levins Solicitors Review: To quote the LBC site: class="infoquote "... There is a https: www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk partner-news 2-5m-client-money-lost-early-2020-good-policies-procedures-essential-say-regulators " huge number of people falling for conveyancing scams< a> right now with mill...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: That's why people use now whether researching a product they want to buy or a company they want to use. The flip side of this is that many commercial law firms can seem unapproachable regarding the smaller details of having your own business. A few new types of business...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review:
A large number of firms will proudly display ancient establishment dates such as "Founded in 1881", yet on checking their staff records you'll see not one of them has more than 1-10 years of actual experience as a solicitor. Alexander JLO Solicitors is obviously a...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: But www.mason&bullock.co.uk can't exist because you're not allowed ampersands in web addresses. class="infoquote "...we’ll advise on whether you can negotiate a better settlement package and whether payments are being made in the most tax efficient way."< div> Th...

Lindsays Solicitors Review: One last actually boastful sentence from the firm's site: class="infoquote "It's no coincidence that some clients have been with us for decades or even centuries"< div>. But one thing that impressed us about Lindsays is the same sort of lack-of-boasting as we saw wit...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: But considering they cover pratically everything else we really like a firm to do: transparency over claims such as awards, out of hours services, proper staff profiles, engaging with online forums, a range of contact methods, etc. This therefore came across as a litt...


MGBe Legal Review: If you've visited a few dozen law firm websites already today you'll have seen most use the News or Blog sections to write a couple of lines about a common news article followed by twenty paragraphs of more sales pitches about why you should use their services. It's not hard...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: 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 of you actually trust testimonials on company websites. As you'll see, one of the solicitors a...


NV Legal Ltd Review: When a firm states it is a Personal Injury specialist it will usually then follow it up with a long list of case types covered including Professional Negligence, Slips Trips, Road Accidents, Work Injuries, Industrial Disease, Medical Negligence, Unfair Dismissal - th...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: A one-year-old firm might have twenty-year-experienced solicitors on staff and a twenty-year-old firm might stick you with a one-year-experienced solicitor. Just make sure to read the comments and not just flick through star ratings. So what reasons did we have for adding O...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: For example, many do not state which awards have been won. If you search for news articles on any company it's good idea to make sure to put "quotation marks" around the name of the firm otherwise you will get a lot of irrelvant pieces. class="infoquote "OTS Solicitor...


Penerley Lawyers Review: The quote above is from the website of a Commercial Law specialist called Penerley , based in Islington. As mentioned before many law firms are stuck in the past and the 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri is still the industry norm. class="infoquote "At Penerley we are committed...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: Also, in some of the searches we tested, the website of their parent company www.penngroup.co.uk showed up as the top result. It doesn't have as much information regarding the firm and obviously has different contact information. Don't underestimate the usefullness of such b...


Pump Court Chambers Review: They also state: class="infoquote "we have provided high-quality legal representation to clients in the UK and overseas for more than 70 years"< div> Which all sounds great. A real established and recognised group. That should make communication far easier , clea...


RD Costings Review: The fact RD Costings specifically seek out these types of claimants to help with their case is not the only reason we decided to add them to the network. They don't promise you an ipad or a Sainsbury's voucher for making a claim with them. The site also states: ...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: 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. Redwood managed to get my money back. Some are setup to send threatening letters and to doorstep visits that...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: Reid Black clearly want to help people seek redress over such Military matters. Millions of pounds a year https: www.irishnews.com news northernirelandnews 2018 10 08 news thousands-of-pounds-stolen-in-elaborate-scam-targetting-house-buyers-1452999 " are being handed ov...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: The main one for English Welsh legal professionals is The Law Society of England & Wales and it is simply an excellent resource for people to use. The firm's website is https secure for entering your personal details in their contact forms. A quick note on nav...

Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: So why might you pick a niche firm like Trust Inheritance Ltd over your local high street firm that covers estate matters as well? If you want to get more solid figures about the actual experience of solicitors within any law firm, you can usually get it from their lo...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: We tried the following week and it still didn't work. We've seen several consultants and sole practitioners advertising themselves as handling everything from Family Law, to Personal Injury, plus Immigration and more. class="infoquote "Most of Robin’s clients instruct...


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...


Serious Law LLP Review: But generally speaking, client comments there are predominantly positive as well: class="infoquote "My solicitor was great. class="infoquote "We are the firm of choice for many other legal professionals who recognise our depth of expertise in catastrophic cases...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: If you come across any good sources that might help people when trying to decide which firm to use - let us know.. But as our poll from a couple of years ago indicated - many of you don't trust company testimonials. A quick note on navigation. Naturally, the ones listed...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Specialising in a wide range of practice areas including commercial litigation, company commercial, residential property, commercial property, insolvency, employment and family."< div> One good place to start is a local law society website. This ...


Taborns Legal Business Review: That typically means a much smaller number of organisations to verify everything with and or zero reviews across independent boards. No matter how hard a firm tries, that's just how things come out. Taborns is therefore much more of a business legal solutions provider than ...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: The branding is not nearly as important as the actual solicitor assigned to your case. Most are and new firms know it can give peace of mind to prospective clients. If you're ever in doubt, the various Law Society databases are a great resource. A quick note on navigat...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: So what can we tell you about Thorpe Wilson Solicitors? Well you may have noticed that like many other firms, Thorpe Wilson make statements such as: class="infoquote "Specialists in the following fields: Wills and Probate, Immigration, Family Law, Employment, H...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: class="infoquote "Individuals and businesses that have been referred to us are usually by other legal professionals, former or existing clients, personal recommendations, local business, and community links."< div>. Luckily though, with law firms there are sometimes i...
