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: www.acs.co.uk and www.acs.com are two totally different IT companies. It is a specialised area and too important to trust to your local 'jack of all trades' who may have helped with your divorce or your last house purchase."< div> It's a fair point to make about special...


Almond Solicitors Review: www.almondsolicitors.com, www.almond-solicitors.co.uk, and www.almond-solicitors.com however don't seem to be owned by anyone right now. Additionally Greg has written many articles on personal injury and compensation matters leading to him having his own advice column in a l...


Amnesty Solicitors Ltd Review: The same was true of immigration. In fact, in my browser the firm's logo took up nearly half the page. There's certainly plenty of room at the front. They were married in Scotland but chose to live the first 5-6 years in the USA. Yes, I recommended Amnesty Solicitors to the...


Ashmans Solicitors Review: Yet the telegraph only quotes one source for comment in relation to defending people who have been accused of such crimes: class="infoquote "Ashmans Solicitors, based in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, says: 'Being faced with charges of money laundering will be extremely ups...


Ashworth Motoring Law Review: Considering their promise of the best scientific experts and the best court barristers - that's an interesting promise to make. We have spoken to many motoring solicitors, and some have come back with fee quotes in the region of £4000 for a simple £100 fine ...


Atkinson Rose Solicitors LLP Review: However we don't see the same priority given to Employment issues for some reason. Eventually our client settled for more than 3 times the amount that the other employee settled the claim for despite the circumstances surrounding the resignations being identical."< div> ...


Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd Review: Yes, you'll probably get it refunded after your case is settled 3-12 months later. One thing we've always prided ourselves on and something we often post about, is how the 1to1Legal network is setup to put you directly and instantly in touch with legal professionals experien...

White Collar Legal Review: We get dozens of communications a day about joining the 1to1Legal network from various firms handling a range of case types from all parts of the UK and ROI. All the firms we accept onto the panel are firms we think will enhance the network and provide extra usef...


Balfour+Manson LLP Review: The firm's executive chairman chairwoman chairperson (pick your favourite) Elaine Motion, stated: color="green "Alastair and Richard are both very well-known and well-respected lawyers in Aberdeen with deep roots in the city. If you go to www.duthieward.co.uk (www.du...


Barrister-Direct Limited Review: They also determine one point of contact for your claim within the firm, and aim to answer or respond to all telephone calls the same day and client's emails within 24 hours.. They aim to explain clearly the merits and risks of a case with you up front. They are not a tradit...


Blain Boland & Co Review: Everything from "What To Do When Someone Dies" and "Lasting Power of Attorney" to "What to do at the End of Your Lease" and "Equality and Diversity Best Practices". They're good. With all the changes to legal aid and concepts such as Alternative Business Structures (A...


BMD Law Solicitors Review: of E.) into the building." Getting the general feel on this yet? Describing themselves as a "young dynamic firm" as well as "experienced but youthful" on their website, BDMLaw may seem to be at odds with itself. They handle transfers of equity, investment pro...


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. the same would be said for http: www.brearleysfamilylaw.co.uk www.brearleysfamilylaw.co.uk< a> http: www.checkmycompensation.co.uk www.checkmyc...


Briffa Legal Ltd Review: One look at Briffa's website though with the large text, bright pinks, yellows, and flower images - we knew we were on to something. That's not to say they appear anything less than professional: class="infoquote "Briffa: Highly rated Intellectual Property lawyers ...


CBTRL Review: They try to address the biological, psychological, and even social factors (I think that's more about social interactions rather than whether you're middle class or not). A mouthful? Maybe. Trusting your memory to search for the correct acronym doesn't always go well!. Speci...


CFG Law Review: If you've searched the web looking for a personal injury claims firm, then you'll have likely visited dozens of sites that all look identical with identical imagery and identical phrases. We're recommending a huge range of decent firms that can help you though. ...


Claims Funding UK Review: For example, www.claimsfunding.co.uk and www.claimsfunding.com, neither of which currently have anything showing on them. Being able to use your compensation money early to cover your mortgage, credit cards, and even daily living expenses until you're back up on your feet ca...


CSL Law Ltd Review: "Can I change the locks to the family home?", "What are the consequences if I were to move out of the family home?", "My husband wife has threatened to stop paying the mortgage and bills, what can I do?" , and "Can I take my child on holiday abroad if the other parent does...


Cubism Law Solicitors Review: no, that wasn't a compliment. Line after line of: class="infoquote "We try to do more than peer through the magnifying glass of the law, and our lawyers look at things in a more rounded, less narrow way, 'entertaining' different ideas to explore alternative options .....


Countrywide Conveyancing Services Review: www.countrywide.co.uk is also available, however www.countrywide.com goes to an American firm. Something to show the extra expertise available. Countrywide Conveyancing Services is a trading name of Countrywide Property Lawyers Ltd which is an Alternative Business Str...


Davey Law Review: Absolutely I'm going to write a lengthy piece about this firm. Please contact us to arrange for one of our experts to come to see you." < font> That offer will definitely appeal to one particular group of case types commonly known as 'serious injury' compensation claim...


Driscoll Kingston Review: Three of them seem to be about the exact same case just with different names used, and one is a contact request filled with the person's case details. For example when we see that their website states 'established in 2011' but every company check website says they started i...


DSL UK Debt Collection Review: But I don't even know what traditional fish and chips means at my local chippy. That means the people working at a debt collection agency often have to have strong stomachs and resolve to undertake even basic cases. The management team apparently have over 30 years expe...


Edward Hands & Lewis Solicitors Review: A lot of new trendy names are popping as solicitor brands these days. ;) Right now, there is a free 30 minute initial assessment available. Whilst social media profiles are great for providing things like phone numbers, addresses, opening hours, etc. The www.ehlsolicit...


FamLegal Family Legal Solicitors Review: These interviews can take place face-to-face, by telephone, or even my face time or Skype. Testimonials: "Julia has a fantastic blend of empathy, efficiency, and sharp professional knowledge. The chances are at some point in your life you or someone you know...


Hartley Bain Solicitors Review: Hartley Bain believes that one size does not fit all when it comes to adding value to client relationships. However, their site is www.hartleybain.co.uk, not www.hartleybain.com which doesn't seem to work at all. . They are also located near to Stratford Underground and M...


Helix Law Ltd Review: Not to mention more than half the first results page is adverts anyway.. A quality, carefully presented FAQs section for example is sadly a rarity. If people are reading the firm's website, the first thing they want to know is - 'do you handle my case?' Helix Law does have...

Leech & Co Review: That's just when they became a limited company. class="infoquote "We are a boutique firm of committed, compassionate and friendly private client Solicitors providing expert, high-quality legal services to our clients. For some legal professionals, the idea of consult...


HJA Solicitors Review: The reason for the .net ending is probably because www.hja.co.uk and www.hja.com have been taken by different firms. They still work with Legal where possible, but every year it seems that government cuts strip away access to justice. It also mentions the little fact that Ch...


Huneewoth Solicitors Review: The instant assumption is that Mrs Huneewoth (yes, from our research we discovered she is a 'Mrs' and apparently prefers 'Anu' to Anupamah) apparently left a stagnant firm with problems to set out on her own. Information and statements like these are crucial to putting a pot...


IWC Probate & Will Services Review: They were voted the number one legal probate provider on the FreeIndex business review website and are regulated by the Society of Will Writers & Estate Planning Practitioners plus the Heir Hunters Association. Unlike many law firms which like to claim 100+ year histo...


Jackson Lees Group Review: Individual awards for best Junior Lawyer, Customer Service, and so on are all great - but staff members come and go. 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...


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...


Joanna Connolly Solicitors Review: They do not act for banks or lending institutions, allowing them a clear focus on one side of the fence. Whilst many firms offer no win no fee and 100% compensation guarantees for things such as personal injury - the same is not always offered for other case types. I recomme...


Kings Court Trust Ltd Review: This will offer a fixed-fee service, based on the amount of work required, with the bill clearly shown upfront during a no-obligation meeting."< div> Kings Court Trust was the third alternative business structure licensed by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), ...


Kings View Chambers Review: So why have we sought out such a relatively new, small chambers to add to our network? There are a few reasons, but the one that caught our eye initially was the case range. Kings View are committed to the principal of Legal Aid and will endeavour to utilise where pos...


KTP Solicitors Review: They also state a special interest in helping the elderly. We've never seen a negative reason so far. That's not to say that firms who don't state a speciality in elderly clients are not capable of having the same understanding. Like most firms, KTPSolicitors state that...


Lambertpugh LLP Solicitors Review: I have said I never want to move again but if I do I will definitely come back to Lambert Pugh and will be recommending them to anyone else I know wanting to move. For either commercial or residential - you really need to get on the phone to discuss your needs and get a quot...


Law In Cornwall Review: They can work on appropriate claims under a Conditional Fee Agreement, a.k.a. a "No Win No Fee" arrangement. Of course, always check about the final fee conditions of that. It may involve stress, cost and uncertainty. They offer family law services such as divorce, children ...


MacLachlan Solicitors Ltd Review: and I'm Scottish. This brings me back to why it's always a good idea for firms to list each staff member's speciality. This too is nicely honest though, because the majority of firms feel very inadequate about their establishment date if it's not very long. 5 sta...


Mancini Legal Ltd Review: Multiple offices usually indicates success, and their website certainly contains a good selection of glowing reviews. So what do Mancini say on their site: class="infoquote "... A good sign for any firm is their involvement in charitable work, whether local or n...


Marcus Andreen Business Law Review: His website states an estimated saving of around 25% to 50% when compared to that charged by full service, general law firms. Established in 2004, with the objective of offering small businesses and entrepreneurs a cost-effective counsel-type service, Marcus Andreen had...


McShanes Solicitors Review: They have also been awarded the Lexcel Practice Management Standard by the Law Society. Of course, we probably wouldn't have them on the network if they were so inclined. On the business side of things they deal with issues related to employment or staffing issues, comm...


Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors Review: More than 1000 solicitors had to close up shop last year alone. If you've come to 1to1Legal before to read informational reviews about firms, this one is going to have a couple of firsts. They also cover licensing (e.g. No photo opportunities of the staff feeding homeless pe...


Murray Hay Solicitors Review: They hand the project over to some web designers who come back with a design that they believe looks very business-like, with a great menu, a few funky features, and every possible button or link anyone would ever expect to see on such a site. Wills and probate, commercial a...


Qdos Legal Services Ltd Review: There is even www.qdosunderwriting.com, www.qdosvantage.com, www.qdostax.com, and www.qdosaccounting.com available, again targeting specific types of client they are looking to service. There is an absolute plethora of sites out there under the QDOS brand. It did mean we had...


RG Solicitors Review: We are currently only working with RG Solicitors office in Kent. Whilst some firms mention 'free' discussions, this can often be with a non-qualified individual who can only asses whether the firm deals with your type of case and can't actually provide any advice or inform...


RJ Gill Solicitors Review: Also there is an RJ Solicitors based in Bradford, but they do not seem to have an online presence so much. Either way, it's probably best to bookmark the correct site to ensure no typing or search errors.. Obviously the link we've provided above is to www.rjgill.co.uk, but t...


Robson & Co Solicitors Review: That is rare. Make sure to speak with the person that will actually be handling your case before signing on the dotted line. Also, from what we can see, the website http: www.robsonandco.co.uk www.robsonandco.co.uk< a> is the same law firm as the one at www.robson-co.co.u...


RSR Law Ltd Review: Timescale. For example, RSRLaw's https: twitter.com rsrlawsolicitor" Twitter feed< a> is mostly links to their own blog updates regarding employment law. All will be explained prior to entering into any agreement."< div> The firm seem to enjoy writing lots of informa...


SBW Law Ltd Review: Typically people tend to check out only the public reviews of service providers when researching them. People have ended up handing over tens of thousands of pounds of their house deposit to fraudsters sometimes based on a single email telling them the bank details have chan...


Taylor Rose MW Solicitors Review: They have a standard central office chain going on, but also a network of branded independent consultancies. Deciding what information is useful, relevant, or up-to-date is a considerable task. This means there are lots of different names and websites connected with th...


Taylor Bracewell Review: They cover six main areas of case type: Business Law, Personal Law, Family Law, Dispute Resolution, Charity Not-for-Profit Law, and HR Employment Law. Their business and commercial law expertise extends to commercial property, employment law, dispute resolutions, di...


The Johnson Partnership Review: As legal professionals we couldn't possibly condone such tactics ... No, really. If you use our enquiry form on the right, you'll be shown solicitors based on your location for that very reason. This time we spent hours flicking through stuff as usual, but everyone working o...


Thompsons Solicitors Scotland Review: They've also had 'Employment Firm of The Year' , 'Law Firm of the Year' and 'Solicitor of the Year' (awarded to Brenda Mitchell) at the Law Awards of Scotland. Then there is 'each week recovering over £1 million for our clients' . I was lettered regularly on...
