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: Lately we've been accused of writing reviews that are too long-winded. Words like 'modern', 'friendly', 'maximum', 'jargon-free', and so on sound great. However, we were pleased to see that the staff of 33 Legal treat social media in a way you would expect a firm dealing w...


5 Essex Court Review: Other typical variants such as www.fiveessexcourt.co.uk or the dot com version are also similarly nothing to do with this particular chambers. Of course, if you search for the name on a search engine the correct site will pop up at the top. However it's not uncommon for...


ABS Lawyers Ltd Review: Plus alternative legal assistance such as barristers through the new Direct Access scheme. They really actively target and can properly communicate with (and therefore surely better represent) Polish speaking claimants. They're comfort with and use of the language extends to...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: providing some extra time for people to call with questions. class="infoquote "We’re transparent about timescales, keeping you updated if any complications arise. Certainly the firm's expertise has been called upon by several news outlets for comment on variou...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: It can also really help with firms that make statements such as '20 years of experience within the firm'. Typically when we review a firm we have to excuse the majority of their website's content. As the name is quite unique there shouldn't really be problems like you g...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: We're sad to say that our own native (Scottish) Law Society could learn a thing or two from the English Welsh setup. We also noticed someone at the firm has been responding to the positive comments where possible, thanking them for the glowing feedback.
class="info...


Apprise Legal Services Review: There aren't nearly as many security concerns with a Wills & Probate specialist firm than with those that specialise in other matters such as Property (just seach for 'conveyancing bank details scam' to see how bad it is). Of course, not all legal professionals firms a...


APS Legal & Associates Review: We could email you from an @amazon.co.uk address right now saying your payments have failed. Typically they will state "ABC Wills is run by ABC Solicitors Ltd and regulated by the SRA No.000001" or something similar. At the moment both www.apslegal.com and www.apslegal.co.uk...


Aspire Licensing Review: 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. We promote the same sort of alternative help in other areas of law as well. Certainly we can't think of one that's more niche off-hand,...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: Certainly there is no 200+ year old solicitor working behind any of the desks. Another has been responded to saying no such person has ever been a client at their firm to begin with. It's a very serious problem and with so many variants possible it would only take someone ...


AWH Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "We provide a free 15 minute initial consultation for all of our services except for immigration law. We will discuss your case with you and provide you with guidance on the most appropriate method of funding and the likely costs involved."< div> ...


Bilkus & Boyle Review: This could be a national one, county based, or city wide for larger population cities. You can then click the links of solicitor's names to see some more personal details such as case expertise. We usually can't find specific pages on a firm but if you https: www.law...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: A last word from Catterall's own site: class="infoquote "We always put our clients first. class="infoquote "We pride ourselves in offering a friendly, professional and approachable service."< div> Having the experience is certainly a huge plus , but does th...


DFA Law LLP Review: There is a lot to find between-the-lines in the wording firms use on their website too. The official site we link to above is www.dfalaw.co.uk which is https secure for you to safely submit your personal details on the web form. For example 7 staff members each with 3 years ...


DV Solicitors Review: They prefer to source reviews from independent review forums such as Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Yell, Yelp, etc. Not just in the legal industry either, but generally. However both www.deovolente.com and www.deovolente.co.uk are owned by other firms. They currently have two ...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: A specialist like the Education Law Service that does such cases day in, day out (again, just like specialists for other legal matters) will likely cover a much wider range of work within that area of law. But if you make sure to have the 'Ltd' part at the end of the na...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: They didn't provide any specifics other than to state something such as having been dealt with 'rudely'. For all we know, it could have been an award for best logo design. It may therefore come as a surprise that we have added Fieldfisher Llp to that list considering th...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: class="infoquote "Notices of Intended Prosecution can be defective and if you do not understand how to deal with them, you can end up with points on your licence that could have been avoided."< div> Unlike many firms who want you to call and speak to them before ...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Clients don't want to feel as though they're always talking to reception or junior staff. But the most important dates you should be looking at are those of the actual solicitor you get. This all gets editorialised and endlessly posted around social media. No, we're not exag...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: For example, we've always made our thoughts about 'online compensation calculators' very clear. Cases may take months or even years. class="infoquote "We can help secure access to expert rehabilitation services to ensure that you have the quickest recovery possible."< ...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: A wide range of very seasoned, experienced practitioners alongside plenty of young blood to keep things fresh and moving forward. It can be quite difficult to dig out the pertinent details in order to make what feels like an informed decision. The official website we lin...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: Why is that a big deal? Because there's a lot of sneaky marketing jargon used these days for such things. Not just the legal industry either - in general. Just because there's a big speech about them being 'established in 1885!' doesn't mean there is a 175-year-old solicit...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: 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. Just make sure to watch carefully at the website address and email reply names that pop up during your case. He attended the Institute of Pro...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: A quick note on navigation as the double 's' in www.jarmanssolicitors.co.uk could pose the possibility of errors. So we'd like to see a bit more flexibility, even if it just becomes normal for all law firms to do one late night every second Thursday. It could also me...


Khan Law Review: Read the actual comments. For us, a specialist focuses on an area of law in order to build up a huge amount of expertise and experience whilst constantly keeping up with the latest news and changes within that area of law. In fact the number of firms claiming to be 'aw...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: So why did we invite Kudos Legal on board? As mentioned already, we think it's a big plus to have offices and qualified solicitors on both sides of the border with their location in Preston and one in Glasgow. So despite many law firms making a fuss of their heritage ...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: So yes, there are certainly plenty of negative reviews about Lawcomm as well. At this point we would actually state that any firm that hasn't created such a facility for their clients is falling behind and lacking something that should really be a basic provision. Usually wh...


Levins Solicitors Review: We're not too fond of people sharing their favourite colours or pet names. At a 200-year-old firm you may get a 1-year qualified solicitor acting for you. If you've read some of our other articles though, you'll hopefully know that such being the case doesn't always result i...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Founded by two brave women in the midst of the pandemic, we understand the challenges of starting and growing your business."< div> It's not the most striking claim we've ever seen stated on a website. Granted it's definitely taken alot more time...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: It currently lists over 50,000 firms, so being included is not particularly rare either. Remember that any error in the browser bar can get you redirected to a totally different site or pushed through a default search engine. Alexander JLO Solicitors seem to be having a simi...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: For example they still linked to the now very defunct Google+ platform and many of the links we clicked on both our desktop and phone browser made the page 'jump' rather than change. The reason we were so keen though, was simply from one opening line on their website: ...

Lindsays Solicitors Review: But I'm guessing most people that see articles with companies holding large cheques being handed to a charity rep - have a little cynicism in them too. Please note that the following article relates to the law firm Lindsays as a whole. The contact details and links above are...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: But that's something we're not totally sold on. As the firm deals with property matters, this raises the possibility of scams which are on the rise despite the https: www.telegraph.co.uk money consumer-affairs property-sellers-warned-not-to-email-solicitors-we-lost-20...


MGBe Legal Review: Here are a few of our reasons for doing so. Accredited at Level 3 Advanced Caseworker with the Law Society. As mentioned, some bits of information we've gleaned from the web came through using the actual solicitor's name. However whilst you may see hundreds of reviews abou...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: A guarantee to receive 100% of your compensation on the other hand means there are absolutely no costs to you at all whether win or lose . Even in these modern, internet-based, non-stop-access-wanting times it's still rare for a law firm to open beyond the standard 9am-5pm ...


NV Legal Ltd Review: The first simply means that if your case loses, there will be no fees. If you check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 555160 nv-legal-limited" the page for this firm< a> you'll see their two main solicitors, Nicholas Davis and Victoria Davis, qualified as so...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: Again, it's a shame that The Scottish Law Society does not help with better information in this area. (Though it naturally pains me to admit such a thing!) The Law Society for England Wales will provide individual information pages with a huge range of details such as all th...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: OTS' claims about their extensive media coverage are certainly true. At the moment the majority of scams involving legal matters tend to https: www.bbc.co.uk news av uk-35253594" revolve around property deals where scammers< a> send new bank details to people via em...


Penerley Lawyers Review: class="infoquote "our innovative and less-stuffy approach to providing legal services ensure that the focus is always on results"< div> It's sad but true that many of the 'well-established' law firms that go around quoting they've been solicitors for over 200 yea...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: This one had a considerable number of help articles answering basic questions such as "What Happens To My Pre-Nup If My Wedding Is Postponed Due To Covid-19?" and 'At What Age Can My Child Make Decisions Regarding Contact And Who To Live With?' . Meaning customer engagem...


Pump Court Chambers Review: you'll see that many of the reviews are about specific individuals rather than a whole firm. Even if someone phones you up asking about money, don't be afraid to politely decline and ring the firm back on the official number you have. secretaries and other support staff."< d...


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. class="infoquote "RD Costings have the experience and knowledge to secure a payment in circumstances where an individual applica...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: Why it's taken so long for such firms to create apps and online admin areas to keep clients apprised of what's going on is anyone's guess. There aren't too many possible variants to worry about and scammers tend to target other legal matters such as property and wills anyway...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: It should be mentioned that Reid Black have moved away from the usual Testimonials page on their own site and actually list their Google reviews directly on the front page. One last clip from the firm's own website showing a further service they offer that many fi...


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. Don't expect this to change very quickly though. Most people may not know just how badly the goverment has stripped Lega...

Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: We've talked a lot before about specialists versus general practice firms. The article we wrote just before this one was about a solicitor with 5 star reviews for being an excellent dog-friendly restaurant. So why might you pick a niche firm like Trust Inheritance Lt...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: They would then contact a barrister to actually do the work and court representation. If you've used our search facility before, you'll probably already have noticed that we do not cram our lists with thousands of practically identical legal practices. We've seen several con...


The Search Bureau Review: After more than twenty years of working in the legal industry, we've built up quite a network of connections, followers, and business partners. We saw a few other related names including Premier Searches Limited and Conveyancing Compare, but they all have their own sites. Al...


Serious Law LLP Review: A good mix of seasoned experience along with fresh minds and ideas. The one prior was about a firm that seemed to have avoided the lime-light of news articles and review sites like ours yet had dozens of client reviews across all the major rating forums. Whilst scammers ten...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: All glowing commendations for the firm with individual staff often being mentioned by name. The website is https secure so no concerns about entering your personal details into the contact forms. The Law Society of England & Wales has a very helpful website , much m...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: Of course even in these days of 'modern' legal setups offering online case tracking and many matters being resolved without the client even actually meeting with their solicitor face to face - there are still a huge number of people that prefer the idea of a larger fi...


Taborns Legal Business Review: Taborns offer a "Legal Concierge Outsourcing" service which doesn't seem to have a very in-depth explanation on the website: class="infoquote "Businesses of all levels, high net worth individuals, Family Office and Professional Service Providers (e.g. Never more t...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: This includes leaders in their field and companies that could simply be considered 'less ordinary'. So don't discuss bank details or payments via email, and if someone phones you up saying they are from the firm you are using feel free to hang up and call back on the offic...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: when there is only one actual qualified solicitor at that firm to handle them all. But it's not the right name. We've seen hundreds of errors over the years with people posting negative reviews that are clearly about a completely different firm. Obviously with the dozens of ...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-deposit " Mostly it involves property matters< a> as they naturally involve large amounts of money moving around. On this occasion, it definitely seems to be the case with a ...
