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: Whilst these may seem shamefully viral-targeted headlines ... (If Irn Bru ever sell out to Coca Cola though, we will start buying something else out of sheer protest!) Last little weird thing we spotted was a statement all over the site which says "Spencer says use ACS"...


Acumen Business Law Review: If it were, then definitely the whole flip-flop thing could be almost insulting. Some are solicitors, some are ex-business owners, some are ex-business owners turned solicitors. There are other companies serving businesses with 'Acumen' in the name including marketing, softw...


Almond Solicitors Review: He has spent the bulk of his career specialising in personal injury law. If you end up there, it is the correct place. If you prefer face to face discussions rather than emails or Skype - there will be one with an office nearby. The thing is ... www.almondsolicitors.com...


Amnesty Solicitors Ltd Review: Yes - it is the exact same firm. Neither seem to be written by the firm themselves but rather by National Solicitors. Two other accolades that stand out would be her being listed in the Top 100 SuperLawyers 'Rising Stars' from 2013-2015, and her entry into the Who's Who of ...


Archways Solicitors Review: I'll do my best to remain within the scope of just this firm and their setup, doing away with the typical tangents, asides, and metaphors. With the range of potential misspellings (e.g. I will therefore leave it there for now and come back to update you later on. The only ot...


Ashmans Solicitors Review: They kept me informed of my case throughout and I was overjoyed with the outcome and service."< div> On clicking to view the full Testimonials page, it turns out this was simply an excerpt from a much larger testimonial. Organised crime costs the UK economy an estimated...


Barrister-Direct Limited Review: They in turn will then often approach Barristers for advice and representation if your case proceeds to Court. At Barrister-Direct, your case will be handled by a team of Personal Injury Barristers right from the start. Barrister-Direct Limited has taken advantage of regulat...


Blain Boland & Co Review: Moreover, they also handle some case types that we rarely see targeted elsewhere such as Ecclesiastical & Canon Law. They have a few extra niche sites such as www.weareconveyancers.com and www.weareemploymentlawyers.com too, but none of them link to to the site you rea...


BMD Law Solicitors Review: They quote the national average turnaround time on properties completing being 12 weeks, and their average as only 5 weeks. But 1to1Legal are always after something different or something new. They apparently have a calculator on their site, but we couldn't find it during th...


Boyd Rice Solicitors Ltd Review: Instead we're going to finish with a link to an article on BoydRice's http: www.ardscc.co.uk ?p=3677" sponsorship of the Tour of Ards race< a>. Not only that, but each person is quite focused on specific case types rather than trying to 'jack-of-all-trade's it. Many firms...


Bradford & Son Solicitors Review: ​ class="infoquote "There is no legal practice that matches Bradford & Son - thank you." "Thank you for all your help and support during the sale of my mum's bungalow" "We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help"< div> Yes, these review...


Brearleys Solicitors Review: when we looked, it didn't appear to be quite finished though. We know that for many people, it helps to have a mental image of what a person looks like when dealing with them over the phone. http: www.brearleylaw.com www.brearleylaw.com< a> - does NOT belong to them as f...


Bromets Solicitors Review: The merging firm's owner, Maureen Freeman, has been appointed as an Associate Solicitor in the now increased family department. If you've ever come to 1to1Legal looking for a law firm before, you'll know that we have a hefty dislike for testimonial pages. Please note, t...


CBTRL Review: But what sort of qualifications and experience do their staff have? Here's a few: Wendy Amey MSc, HG Dip P, GQHP, MHGI, MCAPP - Psychotherapist and Managing Director. We've seen a lot of cases that can end up relying on this implied and automatic assumption that some ...


Claims Funding UK Review: Obviously having a solicitor that won't charge you fees whether your case wins or loses is ideal. If you are struggling financially, you are more likely to accept the typically lower offer third parties make to end the case early. Third, as it's a loan, there will be a credi...


Cubism Law Solicitors Review: So whilst we could see this idea spreading to LinkedIn as being useful for people seeking new staff, we wouldn't recommend it as something to base your choice of legal representation on. I'll finish off with two final quotes from the main Cubism Law website. A free init...


Countrywide Conveyancing Services Review: So we absolutely 100% recommend bookmarking the site once you land on it to make sure you come back to the right place. Usually there are several services, departments, previous setups, staff profiles, etc. But this time I only have to cover one thing - conveyancing. When yo...


DSL UK Debt Collection Review: Debt Solve UK Ltd was created starting with a specialisation in Veterinary and Hospitality debt. Linda Brooks, his wife and the company's Managing Director, has spent 20 years in debt collection and credit control - which she gained great experience in during her time i...


Else Solicitors LLP Review: They also have a large non-commerical side with wills & probate, employment law advice, and general civil litigation. Is it okay to use a typically commercial law firm for personal issues? Absolutely. Head hunting is an expensive and tricky business. This may mak...


FamLegal Family Legal Solicitors Review: I never felt alone during a very difficult time." . They are a top Legal 500 practice, and winner of the Lawyer monthly magazine Family Law Firm of the Year UK 2015. I had the freedom to voice my own fears and concerns safe in the knowledge that Julia would provide so...


Furse Sanders Review: They have an active Twitter feed that posts about regular industry news and changes, plus a Library section on the website with articles such as "Take Care When Appointing a Non-Lawyer as Your Executor" , "Judge Sees Through Attempt to Hide Assets" , and "Libel by I...


Go Complain Review: But they should advise you if there is any industry Ombudsman to attempt recourse through prior to the last resort of actual court action. You would only pay us the £99.99 if the complaint was resolved and a refund or compensation agreed." < font> Throughout GoCom...


Hartley Bain Solicitors Review: Your role can only result in success." Obviously from the wording this is a response to the question 'what did you think of the service' - however, requested testimonials should not be readily ignored. The attentiveness to detail that you consistently displayed served to el...


Hine Legal Ltd Review: In all it was overwhelmingly positive though. We love being able to get specialists on the network, especially for things people really want specialists for. A 20-year-old firm might give you a 1-year-qualified solicitor to run your case, and a 1-year-old firm might give y...


Huneewoth Solicitors Review: What is the difference between 'experience' and 'expertise'? Ask them. Huneewoth Solicitors has no separate trading name, so we only searched for the one name in the database. mobile friendly). Their information is hosted on the National Solicitor's network. Some law firms ...


Jackson Lees Solicitors Review: However, there doesn't seem to be a testimonial page on the new site. etc. The criminal law firm RM Broudie became "RM Broudie Jackson & Canter - The Justice Partnership". In 2011, they merged with another Liverpool firm, creating the largest criminal defence team on Merseys...


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: Prior to these new direct access rules, you had to hire a solicitor who would then hire a barrister to do all the court work and you paid for both. That doesn't mean general practice firms can't have a decent individual assigned to handle such things. Under the new setup you...


KTP Solicitors Review: Obviously this is just advice. This doesn't just keep costs down, but also stress and timescale. For other case types, they do their best to offer fixed prices. He is an Accredited Family Mediator, helping clients talk face to face with those involved in the case rather than...


Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors Review: Basic explanations of each of the services. If it's your first time reading a 1to1Legal law firm review - that is not something we've ever said before. All of them returned an error and some had not even been bought yet. Rather than the standard "Wow! Thank you so much, you...


Law In Cornwall Review: They offer family law services such as divorce, children and family cases. Based in Truro, they are near the Threemilestone Industrial Estate, with visitor parking nearby. They offer free initial consultations in cases where legal aid would normally have been available ...

LMD Law Review: Is that it though? Just a bit of ego? Well no. He has a track record of success in civil and commercial disputes, as well as litigation matters before the Court of Appeal, the High Court, County Courts and Tribunals across several areas of law. here, read it yourself: ...


MacLachlan Solicitors Ltd Review: (Metaphor not intended.) During our 20 years in the industry we've seen the most tenuous links used to exaggerate shorter timelines. How do we know? Because we've been established for over 20 years and you won't find reviews of our service in those places either. But unless ...

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 ...


Mancini Legal Ltd Review: The five registered solicitors at Mancini Legal have a combined total of 112 years experience. respond to all emails within 2 hours of receipt." "... and that's just a few. So how do you tell the firms apart if they all sound so great? Well, we can hopefully help ...


McShanes Solicitors Review: McShanes claim such a reputation but (thankfully) do not cover their website with crass stories about the, often uncommon, super-large payouts achieved. Of course, we probably wouldn't have them on the network if they were so inclined. On the business side of things the...


Mercantile Barristers Review: Sadly these can be abused and Mercantile Barristers seems to have had some bad luck in this area. It usually only takes that briefest of explanations for the lightbulb to go off and people to start searching for a barrister themselves. < ul> Lastly, the majori...


Michael Rose & Baylis Review: The most renown is Blackpool. A quick note on navigation as we're dealing with a pretty long web address. Whilst only established in 2014, you can check which solicitors work there on The Law Society website. Unfortunately, far too many firms devote an abnormal amoun...


Morgan Carter Solicitors Review: Both work.. Accidents at work are also governed by the 3 year rule and also must contain an element of actionable, provable and suffered injury. Working out the compensatory amounts due for an accident and injuries that have already happened and are over with certainly are c...


Parkview Solicitors Review: Whilst this option is only email communication - the fact they mention it at all boldly on their website puts them in front of others when it comes to statements of general availability. Parkview serve clients across England & Wales for Civil Litigation, Personal Injury...


PM Law Solicitors Review: However, we would recommend using a firm like ProddowMackay for commercial help if you are a small or medium sized business. Making it well suited for the smartphone generation. Through the 90s the firm moved away from general practice to more specialised areas o...


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. Not all the separate s...


RG Solicitors Review: The law in the UK is old. Yes, there is a peppering of marketing jargon - but each phrase is given context somewhere. Not just general statements, but actual figures such as indemnifying "Ј500 in mortgage arrangement fees" . Beyond the actual services provided, the fir...


RJ Gill Solicitors Review: To quote their site: color="green "Funding your claim is extremely simple and more importantly, we do not ask for any fees from you at the beginning of your claim; We will of course deal with the funding of your claim on an individual case by case basis, however the v...


Robson & Co Solicitors Review: Buying or selling a home is normally the largest transaction most people will ever make, so having not only the right technical experience (to keep the regulators, lenders and insurers happy) but plenty of experience to calmly handle any hurdles is also a must. Hythe, the sm...


Rogers Solicitors Review: Again, they mention the 24 7 nature of their phoneline and their extensive knowledge of this type of litigation. It may look to the casual browser that 1to1Legal is just some directory listing solicitor's details. When we tried searching variants we didn't just have to check...


Ropewalk Chambers Review: He has a successful track record in group and multi-party actions causing him to be named in Chambers and Partners’ Spotlight Table nationally. Therefore we definitely recommend bookmarking the correct one once you know you are on their to save errors later. They can also he...


Starck Uberoi Review: He also deals with European Court of Human Rights litigation which we'll come back to later on. There is a blog on the site, but unless you're a big fan of legal industry matters - we suggest skipping over to the Case Studies section instead. We tried a few variations ...


Taylor Rose MW Solicitors Review: So much so, that if Taylor Rose MW were to give up conveyancing they would probably have 5☆ scores across the entire web. There is only one little 'snag' we need to address regarding names. Taylor Rose MW have their origins based in legal costs. This means ...

Atkinson Rose Solicitors LLP Review: One thing you need to remember though, is that specialists probably take on a lot of cases that other firms considered either too difficult to pursue or unlikely to succeed. Most firms leave this blank or use it as just another space to write nice things about themselves. Th...


Taylor Bracewell Review: Only the .co.uk version returns a website. More specifically, they received accolades for their charity law, family law and employment law work. They promise to provide a costs quotation and a timescale at the outset of your case. Personal Law matters handled at the fir...


Three Graces Legal Review: Beyond simply taking on cases, they seem to enjoy performing their work and progressing with the industries they advise on. They state an awareness of the modern world and an openness to new ideas. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot more great sounding language than actu...


Warwick Vesey Review: If you search for news articles on conveyancing scammers you'll find dozens of stories about people accidentally sending all their money to thieves. We are heavily in favour of 'Team' sections on law firm's websites displaying a run down of the main staff you might be ...


Waterstone Solicitors Review: As for navigation, www.waterstonesolicitors.com is the official site we link to above and www.waterstonesolicitors.co.uk has no current website displayed. According to their website, the firm covers a wide range of case types including Immigration, Asylum, Human Rights, Fam...
