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: I don't understand the fascination, but it's well documented that attention spans have collapsed in recent years. Just a few years ago there was a horrible trend of firms promising iPads to clients if they submitted a claim through them. And you don't want a law firm with ei...


5 Essex Court Review: On this site like most chambers you'll be presented with each barrister's case focus, experience and usually some testimonials for each individual rather than the firm as a whole. Many of our barristers are qualified to accept Direct Access instructions."< div> That's f...


Aconveyancing Ltd Review: The idea of course being that people will assume a 200-year-established firm will do a better job than a 2-year one. None of that seemed to apply to Aconveyancing's reviews. If we had to find a niggle with this firm, then that would be it - i.e. The Law Society of Engl...


Aina Khan Law Ltd Review: 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. We assume this is because this firm handles very personal and distressing cases such as divorce and child custody. On this occasion though, we're goi...


Allsop Durn Solicitors Review: The official website we link to above is www.allsopdurn.co.uk with www.allsopdurn.com not currently in use. Is that uncommon? Yes. 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 . We're sad to...


Apprise Legal Services Review: fully explained in easy to understand terms the various options available. No pressure." "A thorough and caring aproach. We assume the web address is meant to be taken as AppriseLS. Very satisfied with the outcome."< div> The advice we always give regarding review ...


APS Legal & Associates Review: class="infoquote "With over 500 Associates nationwide, all of our Associates and in-house staff are fully qualified in advising on will writing, Lasting Powers of Attorney, trusts as well as probate services."< div> This statement on the APS site lends credence ...


Avery Walters Solicitors Review: The https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 530926 avery-walters-limited?Solicitors=True" page for this firm< a> for example lists a good mix of seasoned experienced personel along with some freshly placed staff . class="infoquote "We are an indepen...


AWH Solicitors Review: So yes, 15 minutes isn't the most generous offering out there but it's far from the worst . However with anyone able to make a flashy website and write good sales pitches - how do you know the best options for you? If you saw one firm had a multi-level office space with a...


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. That's surely a very good sign. You are just as likely to get a one year qualified newbie solicitor from a one hundred year o...


DFA Law LLP Review: Alternative contact details, other offices, SRA authority information, practice case focuses and more. Property clients are heavily targeted by scammers due to the amounts of money being pushed around and https: www.lawyerchecker.co.uk news law-firm-loses-600k-in-conveyanc...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Review: But in this case the small print states the word 'success' only meant achieving the expected outcome. The website we link to above is www.drivingdefences.co.uk with the .com version working (www.drivingdefences.com) but only displaying and linking to the main site. You can s...


DV Solicitors Review: Such as: class="infoquote "have gone beyond and above in all areas of our transaction" "an immense pleasure to acquire your proficient services" "carried out all the required responsibilities efficiently"< div> Those are snippets from much longer pieces ...


Education Law Service Ltd Review: So when you see that the law firm you're interested in does not have many reviews on the usual forums such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell or Yelp - don't read negatively into that . Therefore the number of firms helping in those areas are much fewer . Criminal Injury and Unin...


Fieldfisher LLP Review: But according to our poll last year, many members of the public also find them useful in helping judge the quality, experience and establishment of a firm when looking to choose one for their own case. It may therefore come as a surprise that we have added Fieldfisher L...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd Review: Note that many law firm's websites will make a statement such as "40 years of experience within the firm" or "20 years of combined experience". It's something that gained prevalance after a number of celebrities (mostly premier league footballers) were breaking the law and...


GloverPriest Solicitors Review: Glover&Priest with the ampersand in the middle is not possible as a web address but www.gloverandpriest.com is. But the most important dates you should be looking at are those of the actual solicitor you get. As sometimes happens with forums such as Google, Yellow Pages or Y...


Hampson Hughes Solicitors Review: However there is a host of possible misspellings using 'Hamson' or 'Hughs' by accident. AND from start to finish (which only took 4 months) HH kept me informed on a regular basis" "They kept me updated throughout the whole process and got my case solved really quickly"<...


Howe + Co Solicitors Review: This can sometimes end up in reviews about the wrong firm being placed. All that put together clearly makes them a very established firm and it's hard to deny them the use of the word 'leading' with all that in mind. One thing you rarely see in relation to UK law fir...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors Review: Unfortunately, the bits and pieces that we think are really important are often a couple of pages in, only hinted at, or sometimes not even mentioned at all. If the firm's website doesn't at least mention your case type on their front page, then it is likely it's not somethi...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Review: However the staff profiles on this firm's site were spot on. (The fact we're a Scottish firm admitting that fact should indicate just how true it must be!) If you look up any registered law practice or legal professional covering England Wales you'll usually get a...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd Review: When a new solicitor joins a law firm, there isn't some strange spiritualist ceremony where all the experience and expertise of the last solicitor is transferred to them. The actual, current staff of the firm are the most crucial thing in our opinion. Unfortunately most...


Khan Law Review: For us, a specialist focuses on an area of law in order to build up a huge amount of expertise and experience whilst constantly keeping up with the latest news and changes within that area of law. But you also get firms that cover a huge range of case types that call t...


Kudos Legal Ltd Review: There didn't seem to be a website for the London based Kudos Law Ltd. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. We always recommend a good mix of experience versus new blood ideas in a firm. A 1-year-old law firm could have a 40-year-experienced solicitor on it's staff. class...


Lawcomm Solicitors Review: Even so, we would still recommend bookmarking the correct website once you're on it and being very careful with any emails you receive because solicitors handling property are https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 feb 29 bank-scam-solicitors-email-hacked" constant...


Levins Solicitors Review: The following is therefore some of the things we like about the company, some quotes from the firm and independent sources, some links to articles on third party sites, and some tips about researching a law firm generally when trying to choose which is the best for y...


Lindsays Solicitors Review: But one thing that impressed us about Lindsays is the same sort of lack-of-boasting as we saw with their testimonials page before. You can usually look up details about any firm with their local law society. But also several more recent additions such as Ben Doherty (quali...

Aspire Licensing Review: Much more than a firm that only covers a handful of such cases each month as part of their general commercial legal work. People have given away millions each year to fraudsters. Obviously, never discuss such payments via email or even with someone that calls you up. Thei...


Linkilaw Solicitors Review: On this occasion the alternate www.linkilaw.co.uk does not link to the main site. Many people can also get it entirely wrong. The solicitors themselves also get scammed into paying out to the wrong people. The new web address is www.linkilawsolicitors.com with www.linki...


Alexander JLO Solicitors Review: At the very least, never discuss bank details or deposits via email. The firm has other offices around the UK including Liverpool, Birmingham, Chelmsford, and Norwich. If you check The Law Society's https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 435438 alexander-jlo" off...


Mason Bullock Solicitors Review: Some people are handing over entire house deposits to fraudsters based solely on an email asking them to change the bank details they pay to. However nothing that reflected negatively on the firm's actual potential services. The official site is www.masonbullock.co.uk with...


McEwan Fraser Legal Review: Neither of which would impress you enough to use their actual services would it? McEwan Fraser Legal on the other hand state very clearly underneath their Award-Winning claim what awards have been won. The official site is www.mcewanfraserlegal.co.uk and currently www...


MGBe Legal Review: Accredited at Level 3 Advanced Caseworker with the Law Society. If someone calls saying they are from your solicitor and need to discuss payments - you can always hang up and call the firm back on the official number you have on their documentation just to be sure.. Th...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP Review: Another type of scam going round right now is https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 jul 18 homebuyer-loses-300000-to-fraudsters-but-gets-it-back-after-we-step-in" targeting people trying to buy or sell a house< a> in order to get them to accidentally deposit money i...


NV Legal Ltd Review: As all these extra case titles follow that format. Last year we worked heavily with rehabilitation specialists trying to get more law firms to consult with such experts on a more regular basis. The law firm then pursues the third party, or more often their insurer, for ...


OJ Solicitors Ltd Review: 100% compensation promises mean that if you win, the law firm will not take a cut of your compensation. Unfortunately, in our opinion The Law Society of Scotland website is nowhere near as good as it's English Welsh counterpart when it comes to helping people with t...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Review: There are many wonderful firms without a single drop of publicity ink. At the time of writing they had over 450+ reviews on Google which is quite unheard of for a law firm . OTS' claims about their extensive media coverage are certainly true. This designation is possibl...


Penerley Lawyers Review: (We once had a negative comment because we helped lawyers and the person hated lawyers.) They do have some testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "This is a firm that we can truly rely on." "able to quickly understand the issues at hand and provide c...


Penn Chambers Solicitors Review: You also need to be careful with claims such as '30 years of experience within the firm' or '25 years of combined experience' because that could simply mean several solicitors all with only a couple of years experience each. The fact Penn Chambers offer this is th...


Pump Court Chambers Review: People are being tricked into https: www.thisismoney.co.uk money beatthescammers article-3897256 Beware-fraudsters-targeting-house-sale-proceeds.html" handing over their house deposits into a fraudster's< a> bank account from just a simple official looking (but fake) emai...


RD Costings Review: With the branding containing a plural there's always a tendancy for people to drop the 's' by mistake. Two of our staff worked on such cases for years including CICA matters.) But if firm took on a lot of less simple cases such as medical negligence, uninsured drivers,...


Redwood Collections Ltd Review: No disrepect meant to the many law firms that handle debt collection, but using a firm that is solely built to handle this single case type does generally provide more speedy results. class="infoquote "Commission is only charged upon successful collections. Our typical...


Reid Black Solicitors Review: But even that still had a 5 star rating and ended with a bit about how the extra expense seemed worth it in the end. The Law Society of England & Wales also have a much better website than most Law Societies, with a wealth of user-side information. As the firm deals w...


Richmond Legal Ltd Review: Obviously with such huge amounts of money being passed around, fraudsters are finding great success in convincing people to send the money to them instead. Law societies can be national, countywide, or attached to a large population city. That's because not all Immigration f...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister Review: We tried entering all the information it asked for and then different bits and pieces. Some are not Direct Access qualified and whilst they will talk to you about your case - they will then tell you of local solicitors you need to hire first in order for them to then hire th...


The Search Bureau Review: Whilst the majority of articles we write are aimed at informing general consumers about legal practices or available resources to help them in their decisions - we do sometimes cover more general topics and firms that help law firms themselves. But that's the case for most...


Serious Law LLP Review: Right now if you search for 'serious law' on search engines, this firm pops up at the top. Nothing to do with our services at all. class="infoquote "We are the firm of choice for many other legal professionals who recognise our depth of expertise in catastrophic ...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP Review: Simons Rodkin Solicitors don't need to engage in any such shady wording. Naturally, the ones listed there are all incredibly positive and lengthy in their praise. We've also seen variants such as 'simon rodkins' and 'simon rodkin' popping up in our search box as well ...


Stenfield Solicitors Review: Unfortunately when no feedback is left it's hard to know if that person was even rating the correct firm. class="infoquote "Specialising in a wide range of practice areas including commercial litigation, company commercial, residential property, commercial proper...


Taborns Legal Business Review: A last word from Taborns: class="infoquote "Taborns is a legal business with over 25 years experience in legal and business services. We have several firms on the network that are brand new startups, consultants, or sole practitioners. Sadly when it comes to busi...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd Review: But several things stood out to us which we thought we would share. They do not mean the same thing. class="infoquote "With almost 10 years' of experience in personal injury law, we understand that no two cases are the same."< div> The firm's local newspaper, S...


Thorpe Wilson Solicitors Review: The thing to watch out for is firms stating a wide range of specialities across different areas of law such as Divorce, Bankruptcy, Commercial Property, Immigration, etc. However a poll we ran a couple of years ago indicated that most people don't trust company's own te...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Review: For example, a firm that states they handle "Will & Probate" matters may simply help people create a Will. Unfortunately the temptation to utilise marketing language on any company's site always seems to be too much for them to pass up. For many case types people absolutely ...

Bilkus & Boyle Review: However the whole ancient-history-boasting across the legal industry is really just a marketing ploy to make a firm seem as though it has a huge amount of experience which it may not. Whilst the firm's name is unique there are obviously quite a few possible typos. Or the rev...


The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc Review: Their website is https secure so should be fine for entering your personal details on the contact forms. class="infoquote "At TSABI, we are more than just a law firm - we care about people and their individual or business needs for acquiring legal support."< div> ...
