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:




ACS Accident Claims Scotland Review: The main case types they cover, include Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs), Accidents At Work (Employer Liability), Work Related Disease (aka Industrial Disease), Public Liability, and Criminal Assault (CICA). There are quite often fees if the case wins. So I would absolute...


Acumen Business Law Review: (And if you happen to see a lawyer in flip flops - not to worry, that's just one of the ways we do happy!)"< div> I can absolutely, 100% concede that this is a completely unique statement. On top of this, they offer far more than your typical business law firm too: ...


Almond Solicitors Review: However, they have since condensed to just two, but have moved one of them to a more central location nearer the heart of Manchester. But rest assured, one nearer the main bus stations and train terminals obviously stands a better chance. The original setup was Droylsde...


Amnesty Solicitors Ltd Review: First, Amnesty's reasons: class="infoquote "Unlike other law firms, we handle all aspects of work on a clients case, We conduct our own advocacy from the First Tier Tribunal to the High Court, Royal Courts of Justice ... However, there's a few things I really want to c...


Archways Solicitors Review: Family Law, Immigration, Wills and Probate, Conveyancing, Litigation, Personal Injury, etc.) and their contact details. The only other noteworthy chunk of information is about the firm's online document processing setup which they're obviously proud of. The firm doesn'...


Ashmans Solicitors Review: Not just from clients either, but from the barristers Ashmans has worked with too. So, what do Ashmans offer? Well, first here is what they must consider to be their greatest selling points as this information takes prime position on their front page: class="inf...


Ashworth Motoring Law Review: So you will be paying for your legal advice on this one with nearly every firm out there. Usually, the people that end up coming through here have already searched the internet for "X offence loopholes" ... So the cost of a solicitor will always seem worth it to avoid that. ...


Atkinson Rose Solicitors LLP Review: We bought claims for sex harassment and entered into bullish negotiations for a sum without the need for a tribunal hearing. One thing we would recommend is reading Atkinson Rose's https: www.atkinson-rose.co.uk upcoming-cases-1" Recent Case Page< a>, which details ...

Barrister-Direct Limited Review: They aim to explain clearly the merits and risks of a case with you up front. They are not a traditional law firm, so whatever pre-conceptions you have about dealing with legal professionals - working direct with a barrister is unlikely to match them. They handle all the usu...


Balfour+Manson LLP Review: Obviously we're linking to www.balfour-manson.co.uk and often with hyphens people can make mistakes. They have expanded their Aberdeen operations in 2016 by merging with the 25-year-old law firm http: www.duthieward.co.uk" Duthie Ward< a> solicitors. Just for the sake of ...


Blain Boland & Co Review: we're seeing a lot more seasoned solicitors leave larger firms to set up on their own. This means they can provide expert and experienced advice to Churches on legal matters whether they are an established denomination or independent. Even just the handful of paragraphs in t...


BMD Law Solicitors Review: They do mention the standard no win, no fee catchphrase - but there is no mention of a 100% compensation guarantee so make sure to ask if they will provide such for your particular case type. Let us know if you find the relevant web page. Personal injury gets only a sma...


Boyd Rice Solicitors Ltd Review: Boyd Rice have obviously taken an interest in cycling and sponsored that. We can vouch that not all firms do it for 'PR'. class="infoquote "Boyd Rice Solicitors is a long established Law Firm and has been providing legal advice to clients throughout Northern Ireland for ov...


Bradford & Son Solicitors Review: Until you actually use a firm though, you have no idea whether the solicitor has more than one secretary because they keep a huge workload on the go - or if they simply prefer having someone else deal with clients. Timely, solid and reliable advice when you need it."< div> ...


Brearleys Solicitors Review: We're not overly keen on testimonial pages on company websites to begin with - but this one quotes reviews from back in 2013. but again, much seems blank and no further information beyond what is already available on their main site. the same would be said for http: www.br...


CBTRL Review: determine the amount of compensation due), and harder to estimate recovery time for. Conducts psychiatric occupational assessments for Insurers, Employers and Government agencies. Also, fast recovery gets employees back into their workplace sooner. How fast? The estima...


Claims Funding UK Review: For example, www.claimsfunding.co.uk and www.claimsfunding.com, neither of which currently have anything showing on them. If your injuries have put you out of work as well, affording the treatment is even less likely resulting in a Catch 22. You just have to have a good reas...


Cubism Law Solicitors Review: The Lawyer website has https: www.thelawyer.com issues 8-march-2010 work-life-quiz-andrew-pena-cubism-law " posted a Q&A piece< a> with Cubism's founder. Of course considering the waffle I allow myself to put out regularly, my criticism could be seen as slightly hypocriti...


Countrywide Conveyancing Services Review: That's not a negative feature, it's just that generic statements don't always help when deciding to use a firm. This resulted in a poll asking people if they would use an ABS coming back with only 1% saying 'yes'. Sadly with individually generic terms such as "countrywide", ...


Davey Law Review: He is also on the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel since 1999, and was a key-note speaker at the Cambridge Medico-Legal conference. This will be my 49th law firm review article for this site. The firm offer articles and blog posts. At the most basic level, people ne...


DSL UK Debt Collection Review: Often, contracts themselves are what will let the debt collection process down. It is not uncommon for spammers, virus makers and phishers to use similarly named domains to confuse people. We're not sure what that means. However, www.dsluk.co.uk and www.dsluk.com are both ow...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors Review: Some statements are repeated, some are drawn out, and some seem superfluous - i.e. The firm has received a number of awards. That's my point. If I had to pick something to criticise (and what review would be complete without a bit of nit-picking) I'd prefer less t...


Else Solicitors LLP Review: They had won Dental Law Firm of the Year as a result of votes by readers of http: www.midlandsbusinessnews.co.uk legal-firm-gains-votes-win-award-handling-dentists-corporate-deals " Acquisition International< a>, a monthly magazine specialising in corporate finance...


FamLegal Family Legal Solicitors Review: Their ethos is that as a family solicitor they are there not only to provide legal advice, but to provide support, and to help make things better, helping you and your former partner separate with dignity whilst looking after your most important asset - your children. If how...


Furse Sanders Review: Far from it. a large firm with small firm customer values . For example: class="infoquote "You may want to come to us because you are anxious about dealing with a solicitor even if you have used one before ... None of the hyphenated or usual 'furse and sanders' sort ...


Go Complain Review: Whether you do better with your fingers on a keyboard or your thumbs on a touchscreen - is totally up to you. The only other things we noticed was a few broken links such as the YouTube button, and we couldn't work out what a legal service provider would need an Instagr...


Hartley Bain Solicitors Review: Clearly a slight lean towards immigration matters, but the articles may diversify more over time. Lastly we would point you to their testimonials page with reviews such as "Some of the characteristics that come to mind are: professional, courteous, competent and thorou...


Hine Legal Ltd Review: Is the establishment date of a firm important? No. They know how to work with< u> the law and use it to the best advantage of their client. It's the same with any good specialist. The firm itself was only created in 2011 which in solicitor terms may sound very young....


Huneewoth Solicitors Review: This may seem like a mere trick of semantics - but having scoured through hundreds of solicitor websites over the years, seeing someone compelled to be honest in their description (even if they did blend it in very well) was a refreshing detail. A quick note on navigat...


Jackson Lees Solicitors Review: They are absolutely the type of awards any forward thinking law firm should be aiming for. Anyway, you may think we're sounding a bit too positive (gushy?) about Jackson Lees. The scams involving solicitors clients involve some of the highest losses. None of that remain...


Jefferies Solicitors Ltd Review: They point out that things such as depreciating value of the car, road tax increases, and so on are yet to be discovered. The main people to note would probably be Michael Jefferies (Managing Director), Nina Ramsden (Director), and Kathryn Harland (Personal Injury Solic...


Kent Traffic Law Review: But if it came down to choosing between a barrister that's been doing a mix of family, employment, injury, wills, etc. But Kent Traffic Law already have a wide range of explanation articles of their own covering both the industry and selection process as a whole. It makes ...


KTP Solicitors Review: The only reference we could find was a local news website mentioning that the firm was http: www.walesonline.co.uk news local-news santa-jog-dozens-take-cardiffs-6359640" sponsoring a local run to raise funds< a> for the British Heart Foundation. This doesn't just keep co...


Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors Review: Both are solicitors, and both similarly state years of experience in sales, purchases, leases, etc. Buying and selling property is nerve racking. And legal processes are often red taped and confusing. Their testimonials also seem genuine. Thank you." Which is nice. Th...


Law In Cornwall Review: They also cover the regular range of personal injury compensation claims available. 'No win no fee' is not the same thing as '100% compensation', despite both being thrown around in various law firm's adverts. They cover the usual personal injury types of claims, such a...


LMD Law Review: This was something else. Lee is therefore very experienced in Court representation and advocacy, allowing him to offer knowledgeable advice and assistance to both businesses and individuals. The firm's main areas of focus are Business Assistance, Landlord & Tenant, Disp...


MacLachlan Solicitors Ltd Review: class="infoquote "We are large enough to offer a full range of legal services to both individual and business clients, whilst retaining the personal touch valued by so many of our clients."< div> As you'll probably have noticed yourself, it's very common these d...


Mancini Legal Ltd Review: The fee they would normally take gets given to charity instead. our legal support execs are available for live chat on the web." < div> ... Having checked out Mancini Legal they appear to be a well-liked, well-respected, well sales-pitched firm with offices in Horsham,...


Marcus Andreen Business Law Review: As a commercial lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience providing legal support to companies and individuals - his clients are mainly fast-growing, successful businesses for the IT, telecoms, e-commerce and communications sectors. Marcus Andreen's background in both ...


McShanes Solicitors Review: Again, the first firm in Northern Ireland to achieve such. Certainly, the firm is very much focused on quality as you read through their website. McShanes claim such a reputation but (thankfully) do not cover their website with crass stories about the, often uncommon, s...


Mercantile Barristers Review: class="infoquote "Our approach to legal practice is always to articulate creative and value-adding solutions for clients whilst delivering timely, efficient and affordable professional services. class="infoquote "A change in the law in 2004 allowed barristers w...


Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors Review: drugs, poca proceedings, benefit fraud, etc.). That's probably because they generally involve considerable work, a lot of time spent with the client, yet do not have the highest financial return. We also had trouble with some bits on the site which were in Flash which is no ...


Michael Rose & Baylis Review: But I'm also a big fan of Liverpool, despite having spent so much time face down on it's wet streets investigating cracks in pavements. Michael Rose & Baylis are involved in https: www.willaid.org.uk " Will Aid< a> , which means that once a year they help people sort out...


Murray Hay Solicitors Review: Thank you!" They have attained the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Accreditation and one of their solicitors, Robert Hammond, has been accredited by 'Resolution' (a 6,500 strong group of solicitors working together on family law issues) as a specialist in family law. ...

Thompsons Solicitors Scotland Review: There is a www.thompsons-solicitors.co.uk website but it is the home of a non-affiliated firm in NI. The average whiplash claim in the UK is currently £2500. Second time I've had to go to Thompson's and would recommend them to anyone" • "Great service very in...


Parkview Solicitors Review: Members of the scheme must show that they maintain a high level of knowledge, skills, experience and practice in all areas of immigration and asylum law. Whilst Parkview keep the regular office hours you would expect of a law firm in the UK (i.e. Yes, they do no win no ...


Qdos Legal Services Ltd Review: The one we link to - www.qdoslegal.com - doesn't have a variant at www.qdoslegal.co.uk though. Landlords can expect experienced solicitors to deal with eviction of tenants, recovery of rent arrears, disputes, deposit protection, contract help and more. You may be tempted to ...


RG Solicitors Review: However, they do have offices spread along the length of England, in Sidcup, York, and Horsham. That's an important feature. Many things still have to be done by post or fax. I had to look that one up and found the definition in an online dictionary for business-speak. Often...


RJ Gill Solicitors Review: However they may very well have a problem with paying out £6000 to you and £4000 legal fees if they feel those legal costs have been accrued un-necessary. Lastly, a quick note on navigation. At the moment it is a totally different company based overseas, bu...


Robson & Co Solicitors Review: Also, according to Edward Hasted -- the author of The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent (1778–99) -- a French fleet approached Hythe in 1293 and landed 200 men, but "the townsmen came upon them and slew every one of them: upon which the rest of the fleet...


Rogers Solicitors Review: Secondly, their service - which they say is jargon-free with regular updates for clients at least once a week during the case. However, Roger's solicitors have put together some real articles. In fact, the web address they've asked us to use is not their main www.roger...


Starck Uberoi Review: As does this quote provided by the same ancestor at the time: class="infoquote "having judgment habituated by knowledge, knowledge guideth the eye, and the eye directeth the hand, and the hand followeth both, that each of them serve for a rule whereby the true measure...


Taylor Rose MW Solicitors Review: Inviting them to join our panel was really a no-brainer. And more recently in 2015 they merged with Tucker Turner Kingsley Wood LLP which is where the MW in 'Taylor Rose MW Limited' comes from. They provide so much information on their site, plus offer lower cost setups if ...


Taylor Bracewell Review: They were listed in the http: www.thestar.co.uk business city-region-awards-meet-all-51-finalists-1-7891595" City Region Business Awards< a>. So they are not shy. This firm's head of Family Law is Alison Kitchman who we mentioned before in the Legal 500 comments. But all ...


Warwick Vesey Review: To be honest, when we first visited the site that's how it came across to us due to the minimalist-styled layout and descriptions of only two main solicitors. The Law Society is a voluntary organisation legal professionals can join that provides help and information. Sadly t...
