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: We work on a no win no fee basis meaning you get free expert advice regarding your potential claim."< div> Sounds good, but obviously this is something all claims firms will state in one way or another. So the fact 33Legal don't just handle these but actively push to g...


5 Essex Court Review: Unfortunately Google can be quite slow in responding to scammers. However this actually makes it much harder to find client reviews of the firm. Prior to 2004, it was necessary to instruct a firm of solicitors or third party. With barristers you'll also find they tend t...


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: This firm obviously focuses solely on Family Law matters . 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. If a firm does not clarify their expertise and experience on their website, there i...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: Cliches such as 'professional yet friendly', 'traditional yet modern' and 'swift but not rushed' litter the pages. I didn�t know solicitors could have a sense of humour" "Mark Goreham, was a professional, fantastic and supportive solicitor." "dealt with our house...


Apprise Legal Services Review: No pressure." "A thorough and caring aproach. Google sadly allows advertisers to stuff the searched-for keywords into adverts. So how can you tell the difference? Once source we often quote is the various Law Societies that legal professionals can sign up with. Very s...


APS Legal & Associates Review: At the moment both www.apslegal.com and www.apslegal.co.uk don't seem to be owned by the firm. The main website is www.aps-legal.com and www.aps-legal.co.uk will redirect you there. Whilst a quick glance of their website may make it appear as just another Will Writing ...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: Some people just skip through the general ratings without really looking into how those ratings were gained. This is done for founding dates too to make firms sound far more established than they are. For example, we're obviously praising Avery Walters as a good firm whils...


AWH Solicitors Review: www.awhsolicitors.com does not redirect to it though and www.awhlegal.co.uk is just an information site about the company background. class="infoquote "We are a modern multi-service law firm based in Manchester and Blackburn, proudly providing award-winning legal servi...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "Catteralls Solicitors have been based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire for over 100 years."< div> Sadly many law firms use more marketing jargon on their websites rather than clear information about what makes them different. A quick note on n...


DFA Law LLP Review: and they were all much like these snippets above. As you'll see, DFA Law have a wide range of experienced staff such as Peter Critchell and John Keeble who qualified as solicitors in 1985 and 1997 respectively. The www.dfalaw.com site is for a completely different law firm...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: However, they state a success rate of 87% and I'm sure you've seen several firms stating successes in the 90-100% range. There are 5 stars for one location but only 3 stars for the other. But not Mr Loophole. class="infoquote "We are without doubt, the country's lea...


DV Solicitors Review: However these ancient establishment date claims are mostly just marketing. They prefer to source reviews from independent review forums such as Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Yell, Yelp, etc. A few articles back we covered a law firm that had a 5 star review for being s...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: A quick note on navigation as the firm uses quite generic terms for their branding. That's still much better of course than charging you full price just for an introductory discussion about whether they can even help you. Whilst ELS do display a few testimonials on t...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: One thing most people agree on is that seeing 'established in 1881' or some such ancient date proudly stamped across a firm's website - no longer provides much sway. A very encouraging mix of experience alongside new blood eager to prove themselves. You'll see Fieldfisher ...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: Make sure to find out first if you qualify before really getting in to things with that firm if Legal Aid is your only real option. This is sometimes blatant marketing jargon and simply means they added up the experience of everyone in the practice. You can usually look...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: If you want to know more about any particular solicitor at any firm you can usually get it from The Law Society website. GloverPriests cover most of these. It's useful tool to keep in mind when browsing firms. class="infoquote "... That's because so many things...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: One of the founders of our own 1to1Legal Firm (Mike Beverley) actually started off as an accident investigator in Liverpool for a nationwide firm of solicitors. class="infoquote "We can help secure access to expert rehabilitation services to ensure that you have the qu...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: They have over 100 staff, cover a wide range of legal matters, and a long history. Certainly the kind of range you'd like to see at any law practice. There are hundreds of reports of people https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1176297 property-for-sale-scam-f...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: One thing we're not very fond of are compensation calculators. We would only recommend using ones that allow reviewers to leave comments though. Worst of all are the people who don't do either and just act as if they are personal injury specialists in order to get your...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: When checking out review boards though, we always suggest you read comments rather than just look at star ratings. We're sure the firm's extra step of translating the site to cater for that has not gone unappreciated. No, really. He attended the Institute of Professional Le...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: We expect this to be less than 5% of users though. I never once had to chase her for information ..." • "... 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.ja...


Khan Law Review: Despite the range of other 'Khan' law firms, this firm focuses on Personal Injury which doesn't have as much risk as things such as Property matters. People have lost £millions over the past decade

Kudos Legal Ltd Review: There didn't seem to be a website for the London based Kudos Law Ltd. At 1to1Legal we do our best to provide a good mix of firms for people to choose from when seeking a law firm. Your preferred English law firm may not be the best choice for that highland cow holiday inci...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: It's not surprising with all this high praise and focus on client care that Lawcomm Solicitors were named https: www.dailyecho.co.uk business 17624927.lawcomm-based-whiteley-named-best-law-firm-conveyancing-first-time-buyer-readers-awards " "Best Law Firm for Conveya...


Levins Solicitors Review: Levins Solicitors are also quoted many times in related news articles, cementing them as a very established firm and one whose advice seems reasonable or helpful to at least the journalist writing their piece. We don't just gush about how wonderful they are with lots...


Lindsays Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "We are proud to sponsor Eilish McColgan, one of the rising female track stars of Scottish and UK athletics"< div> Firms will often do charity events raising a few hundred pounds for something then get several news articles about it put out. Most ...

Aspire Licensing Review: People have given away millions each year to fraudsters. They handle what would be considered legal matters, and the term 'advisors' is used. The same is sometimes true of debt matters. In fact, an experienced accountant could cost much less yet be far more effective . prov...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: That's why people use now whether researching a product they want to buy or a company they want to use. Granted it's definitely taken alot more time than in other industries. They provide full pages on the firms and all the staff. The site is https so should be secure f...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: Thank you" "They were patient with all our questions and understanding in helping us find the best way" < div> Typically we recommend flicking through public reviews and not just relying on the firm's own 'testimonials' page. This is always a useful tool to see what...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: Did that mean we skipped over the usual checks? Of course not. But www.mason&bullock.co.uk can't exist because you're not allowed ampersands in web addresses. To make sure you don't think we fast-tracked even just this one firm we'd like to share some of the things we saw. H...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: However, McEwan Fraser Legal actually are out of the ordinary when it comes to the things we tend to commend other firm for. class="infoquote "The service they provide is second to none, particularly the out of hours, 7 days a week availability" "very quick to re...


MGBe Legal Review: Any lack of reviews for a law firm does not reflect on the company . So it may be an idea to bookmark the site . You'll can also check out how long she's been a qualified solicitor, the languages she speaks, and any accreditations. class="infoquote "received a v...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: They do not mean the same thing. As you'll see, one of the solicitors at the firm called Michael Taylor has been a qualified solicitor since 1983 . What makes us unique is our people."< div> If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 516825 mta-s...


NV Legal Ltd Review: The website is https secure for entering your details on the contact form. The NV Legal website has wide range of help articles on it's site including https: www.nvlegal.co.uk moped-pothole-accident-six-figure-settlement " examples of previous cases< a> which can be ...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: Oana is a mature, experienced solicitor, holding law degrees in both Romania and Scotland, with over ten years of practice."< div>. The fact they've even translated their website into those languages is also a plus. A quick word on navigation, as obviously searching fo...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: OTS' claims about their extensive media coverage are certainly true. We check the usual spots most people visit such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com and Yelp. class="infoquote "Our team of Solicitors are dedicated to providing the best service to clients by catering t...


Penerley Lawyers Review: But so far we've not seen anything too extreme such as beanbag chairs in the conference room. class="infoquote "Penerley provides first-rate legal services to businesses and private individuals."< div> We're now at a stage on the web where people typically have ac...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: You can usually find other information such as the practice's case range, staff, other offices, alternative contact details and so on. If you look up the page for Penn Chambers on https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 547667 penn-chambers-limited" The Law Society web...


Pump Court Chambers Review: They have offices in London, Swindon, and Winchester covering a wide range of case types and a wealth of resources behind them. The official website for this chambers is www.pumpcourtchambers.com which we link to above with www.pumpcourtchambers.co.uk redirecting you there...


RD Costings Review: This is not true for all firms or all types of cases though. www.rdcosting.co.uk) also were not currently in use at the time of writing. RD Costings came to our attention because they specialise in an area of law we've never seen any other firm do so before. The main site...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: A final word from Redwoods site: class="infoquote "Whatever your debt collection or credit management needs, we have the expertise and resources to deliver a fast, efficient and cost-effective solution."< div> That may sound a little cliche but considering the oth...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: Many firms will either charge a reduced price for an initial interview or give you a very reduced free section of time such as 15-30 mins before starting to charge. Quite often this is not reflected in the public reviews of those firms. We did see one negative comment about...


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. So when you see a law firm with only a handful or even zero reviews, just bear that in mind and don't take it as a negative s...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: 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. None of the inputs are marked as to whether they are *required information or not. The old 'Jack of all trad...


The Search Bureau Review: Groundsure Location Intelligence provide land analysis to check contamination, flooding and ground stability. Most services like The Search Bureau are used by larger companies. The lack of easily available reviews shouldn't be viewed negatively in these cases. If ...


Serious Law LLP Review: We've just spent a whole month trying to get a negative review removed under our name. If you look at the page for Serious Law there is a range of experience levels, with solicitors from every decade over the past 40 years. class="infoquote "We are the firm of choice f...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: Thankfully, if the firm you're interested in is based within England or Wales they are most likely registered with the national Law Society. We've also seen variants such as 'simon rodkins' and 'simon rodkin' popping up in our search box as well as 'sr law london' which we n...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: It's very important these days to keep fully aware of what site you are on and the legitimacy of the emails you receive. A real mix of ages, genders, experience, and expertise that you would hope to see at any general practice firm you might be considering. Whereas a ne...


Taborns Legal Business Review: For example, this could be a requirement for a specialist member of the UK Bar (Barrister), premium investigatory services, litigation funding or eDiscovery."< div> However the gist of it is probably exactly how the name makes it sound. A piece on the University of Oxfo...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: No win, no fee just means that if you lose there will be no fees. We should briefly discuss this statement more generally though: class="infoquote "All claims are handled on a No Win No Fee basis"< div> Whilst the majority of law firms say this, there seems to be...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: Every firm should make this absolutely clear to you early on in your enquiries. This is usually through a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) such as taking a 25% cut of your compensation. So yes, despite the long case list Thorpe Wilson can still be 'specialists' in those ar...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: A last word from the firm's website: class="infoquote "We set the benchmark for excellence and go that extra mile to make that happen!"< div>. Obviously we sound very pro-this-company and this could come across as bias. But even with the potential search issues an...

Bilkus & Boyle Review: They may very well assign a one year qualified newbie solicitor to handle your legal matter. One last stand out phrase from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We pride ourselves on our friendly service and are on call 24 7."< div>. Vice versa, a firm quoting jus...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: Whilst you may think Legal Aid is something like the NHS (i.e. 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 link...
