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: They're also very emotional and often deal with horrible acts against the most vulnerable. Both statements are true. We've often said that it's better to get a 20-year experienced lawyer in a 1-year old firm than to end up with a 1-year experienced lawyer at a 20-year ...

Apprise Legal Services Review: They are meant to filter out trademarked terms, but not all firms register a trademark - let alone takes the time to enforce it with search engines.

Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: So sure enough, we sought out a specialist to start recommending to people. It's the same as shampoos which say '90% of users would recommend us!' only to have 'out of 20 people we asked this morning' in small print on the back. However, they state a success rate of 87% an...

Howe + Co Solicitors Review: One of our staff worked in immigration (Liverpool) for about a year and confirms it can be a very emotionally strenous environment, and that's just for the workers.

R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: '100% compensation' means that win or lose you have absolutely nothing to pay your solicitor. those phone calls you keep getting asking about car accidents you haven't even been in.

Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: In fact, across every site we checked we did not find a single negative comment about Robin's work . Not just for the legal industry either.
