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: Even Medical Negligence and Criminal Injury cases will typically be no win, no fee. That isn't so. class="infoquote "One of the major benefits of choosing 33 Legal is that we are a champion of victims' rights. class="infoquote "Visit our Facebook, Twitter or In...


5 Essex Court Review: We've also seen some understandable variants in searches such as "no.5 essex court" and "5 essex street" for example. We've linked to the official www.5essexcourt.co.uk above but www.5essexcourt.com is currently a chinese lottery site. However under the new Direct Access sch...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: If the firm you are looking at does not cover these related areas, then they may be a more budget conveyancing firm. If we had to find a niggle with this firm, then that would be it - i.e. Take Aconveyancing up on their offer: class="infoquote "we know the last th...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: But what does that actually mean? How many firms are in this never-mentioned list of 'leading firms' for that practice to be one of them? Ten? A hundred? A thousand? Again, it's just marketing jargon. In other words, it lists real accomplishments rather than vague hints at...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: really.) So always put the star ratings into context by reading the comments that go with. You'd think this would be common practice but out of the last dozen or so sites we've looked at - this is the only firm to do so .
That's certainly the case for Allsop Dur...


Apprise Legal Services Review: In the US it has been used for much longer. Thirty years ago a same sex civil partnership each life-insured with ex-partners and an adopted child would have been inconceivable. A quick note on navigation with a triple barrelled company name. You will then be shown their...


APS Legal & Associates Review: unequalled in providing the highest standard of service and quality of advice"< div> So does this carry over in to satisfied clients? In all honesty this is a far more difficult area to check up on when you're dealing with a large organisation of pretty much indepeden...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: In our experience, newer solicitors tend to be quite eager to prove themselves and go above and beyond. This is done for founding dates too to make firms sound far more established than they are. Laura successfully navigated me through the process with the minimum of fuss," ...


AWH Solicitors Review: If you click on each person's name you can also see their qualification date and specialist areas. A large number don't take any at the end of the case either, opting to obtain their fees from the third party (100% compensation guarantee). We hope it's clear by now why...


Catteralls Solicitors Review: At the moment nearly every search variant we tried such as 'cateralls solicitors' or 'catterals solicitors' still brought up the correct firm. They stated as such on their about us page. If you look up reviews for Catteralls though on the third party sites, they also ...


DFA Law LLP Review: For example, this from the DFA Law website: class="infoquote "DFA Law has been advising clients in Northamptonshire, and across the region, for over 180 years."< div> We've mentioned in previous articles that long establishment dates are not the be-all and end-...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: Oddly there are only a handful of reviews on Google and each office is treated individually. 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. We're reading solicitor's we...


DV Solicitors Review: Not every case requires a solicitor at a huge law firm. With so many Pakistan citizens within the UK, making sure we would offer a firm such as Deo Volente to them seemed a no brainer . The idea being that people imagine a 200 year old amount of experience within a firm sim...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: Not an insurer or other third party. However if you type 'education law service' or similar terms into a search engine such as 'education law firm' or just 'educational law service' - you may see several related web addresses such as www.educationlawbarristers.co.uk which ar...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: The firm has merged with others over the years including Martineau and Reid, Waterhouse & Co, Allison & Humphreys, etc. It may therefore come as a surprise that we have added Fieldfisher Llp to that list considering they seem like a 'common' large law firm. 100% c...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: For example, 5 solicitors x 4 years experience each = 20 years' experience. Of course if you see a very small law practice or even a sole practitioner stating they cover a simply massive range of cases - it's reasonable to assume they might be taking on more than they can ...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: We offer you face-to-face appointments and also remote dealings with our superb staff." < div> Which is clearly good to know. For more details on the plague of conveyancing scams, just search for "lost my house deposit to scammers" in the news. class="infoquote "G...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: For example, if they have obtained more compensation for you than the insurance company originally offered. However there is a host of possible misspellings using 'Hamson' or 'Hughs' by accident. We've done our share of claimant interviews, and it's not uncommon to have some...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: Howe & Co seem to have solicitors from every decade of their history including Martin Howe (qualified in 1983), Mark Collins (1991), Nicole Bowler (2003), right up to Charlie Rose in 2019. class="infoquote "We have specialists lawyers to match every level of work that ...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: R James Hutcheon Solicitors go beyond niche covering a range of case types you'll rarely see sought after by other practices such as Mercedes-Benz Diesel Emissions Compensation. They're even already moving into the area of Coronavirus (COVID-19) compensation for: ...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: class="infoquote "The practice offers a highly personalised relationship, working closely with our clients to resolve the often complex range of legal challenges that can face individuals and companies."< div> So how are the firm being rated by previous clients? ...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: Our regional base keeps our rates competitive but we have clients all over the world."< div> This is a more complex declaration compared to most we've read. Even so far as responding to reviews on third party site. Along side them are newer people such as Xanthe Harris...


Khan Law Review: class="infoquote "Our Personal Injury Claims are dealt with on a 'no win no fee' basis."< div> It's something we've covered before but it's still causing confusion so we'll briefly cover it again: 'no win no fee' and '100% compensation' do not mean the same thing...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: A 1-year-old law firm could have a 40-year-experienced solicitor on it's staff. class="infoquote "Our knowledge, experience and dedication means we are the best to fight your case and ensure the best possible outcome for you."< div> It's a big claim, but certainly...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: That will provide you better details about their expertise and experience. Far too often we see companies - not just law firms - fill up their blog section with the most thin articles you'll ever see that are mainly just more sales pitches about how great their firm is. ...


Levins Solicitors Review: The firm has a range of experienced staff qualified over the past four decades such as David Woods (qualified in 1984), Tracy Morgan (2003), and Jonathan Heath (2011). A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside young blood eager to prove themselves. But as Levins deal w...


Lindsays Solicitors Review: Most law firms are signed up to a national, county, or town law society organisation. Whenever we consider a firm for adding to our network there are several checks we perform to ensure we're not recommending a fraudulent or fake firm. It was at least three clicks in ...

Aspire Licensing Review: Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services are probably one of the most niche firms we've ever had on our network. a close relationship with all our local responsible authorities ensures any issues or representations received towards our applications can often be resolved ...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: A few new types of business law firm have started emerging to fill this perceived "gap". So what does the firm's site say about their goals going forward? class="infoquote "Bridging the gap between business and law, we advise anyone from start-ups through to establishe...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: That's not the same as being accredited. We know several excellent firms that have 2 or 3 overall star ratings on some forums yet 5 star everywhere else. are accredited by the Law Society as Family Law specialists ..." < div> Tens of thousands of solicitors and legal pr...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: Mason Bullock don't have a company-made testimonial section on their site either. That brings us to a quick note about navigation. Mason Bullock Solicitors was an unusual situation for us when it came to deciding on whether to add them to our network. The situation was at le...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: They also have an online valuation tool. That's not uncommon when it comes to property firms as most people feel comfortable announcing if their house sale went good or bad. That's quite unheard of. Still, people are generally unsatisfied about the length of time it takes to...


MGBe Legal Review: But until you've actually used the firm, how can you judge whether this is going to be true? One of the best resources for detailed information about a firm or an individual solicitor is their local or national Law Society. It's not hard to imagine in the circumstances whe...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: 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 Mon-Fri. So that's a good indication they've handled quite a few cases in their time. As this firm handles Personal Injury matters, we ...


NV Legal Ltd Review: When a firm states it is a Personal Injury specialist it will usually then follow it up with a long list of case types covered including Professional Negligence, Slips Trips, Road Accidents, Work Injuries, Industrial Disease, Medical Negligence, Unfair Dismissal - th...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: If you've used our site before to find legal help, then you'll already be aware that we do not cram every single law firm we can find into our lists. This is something we've said repeatedly elsewhere. However www.ojsolicitors.co.uk is owned by a different firm. However, that...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: These are on the national, county or often city level if the population is big enough. The qualification dates are of special interest to most people when we point this out. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 601629 ots-solicitors-ltd" check the pages...


Penerley Lawyers Review: Obviously with huge amounts of money changing hands, fraudsters are desperately emailing people pretending to be their solicitor and telling them to pay the money into the fraudster's bank account instead. For as long as we can remember (and after working in the industry for...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: There are plenty of third party boards you can use though such as Trustpilot, Yelp, Google, Yell.com and so on. So what sort of things can you look for to distinguish which firm has the experience and expertise to handle your case best? We've been working with law firms fo...


Pump Court Chambers Review: These are not just other offices of the same group of barristers. you'll see that many of the reviews are about specific individuals rather than a whole firm. Huge numbers of them state they provide their services 'nationally' in the hope of getting as many clients as possib...


RD Costings Review: Then after you've had the initial interview, have gone all the way down to their office, and are ready to sign on the dotted line for them to proceed - that's when the small print comes out about them taking 25% of your compensation if they win. However this is actually a v...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: Our typical commission rate is 15% in most instances."< div> Another very good incentive to use a debt agency such as these is their pay-on-results mentality. No disrepect meant to the many law firms that handle debt collection, but using a firm that is solely built to ...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: In this case, Reid Black do more than just have a-bit-of-expertise in Military Claims. It simply means that when we researched the firm at the time they came up as being a good firm, covering a good range, with little or no complaints registered on forums or with the relevan...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: Therefore whilst the case range across this particular firm isn't wholly niche - it is still limited and therefore you would expect the solicitors within the practice to have considerable knowledge in these two areas. Obviously with such huge amounts of money being passed ar...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: Whilst there may be some common typos regarding the last name, the few we tried still brought up the correct website in search results. Not just for the legal industry either. But you never know what might be thought of next so make sure you are on the correct website and ne...


The Search Bureau Review: Whilst most general consumers will use a service and then happily go online to inform others about their positive or negative experience. But that's the case for most related service providers such as this conveyancing searches company or others such as law costs drafting fi...


Serious Law LLP Review: class="infoquote "We are the firm of choice for many other legal professionals who recognise our depth of expertise in catastrophic cases."< div> You can always check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473855 serious-law-llp" The Law Society's< a> websi...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: You'll see on the Law Society's staff page about them that they have a huge range of experience levels.

Taborns Legal Business Review: Otherwise all we would list for you are the large brand named multi-office firms - and that too is not always the best fit or even available in the more rural areas. A warning about the growing concerns over the number of legal aid Barristers leaving the Bar. A piece on the ...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: Such as: class="infoquote "We use the latest technology to ensure that you are able to track the progress of your claim 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." < div> As well as details of their charitable aims including planting a tree for every case and donating part of...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: when there is only one actual qualified solicitor at that firm to handle them all. We've seen hundreds of errors over the years with people posting negative reviews that are clearly about a completely different firm. There are also links to each staff member to see their own...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: The most common reason is the expectation of more expertise, more experience, and therefore a knock on effect of less time and cost required. They also offer a fully online service called a DIY Probate Toolkit at a fraction of the cost of the managed service. class...

Bilkus & Boyle Review: You can then click the links of solicitor's names to see some more personal details such as case expertise. Fortunately there are resources online to help you distinguish between them a little better and hopefully make the decision easier. Or the review stating how all law...
