Read a Bit More Info on the Firms

We've been in the legal industry a long time and have written dozens of review articles on law firms over the years. We've collected the best into our main website:

www.acitylawfirm.com: Just a tip though - make sure to actually read through comments rather than rely on average star ratings when researching any law practice. We strive for innovation and have a proven track record of client satisfaction that stems from a personal approach ..."< div> The...


www.acsl.org.uk: No variants we tried such as www.acslsolicitors.co.uk worked either. class="infoquote "All went smoothly and they kept me informed at each stage" "They saved me money along the way too" "professional and helpful" "Communication was great throughout"< div> ...


www.amykinglegal.co.uk: If you've been trawling through the hundreds of law firm websites today you'll have noticed a lot of them tout incredible founding dates such as 'established in 1881' . Also, you could very well end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200 year old law firm while t...


www.bakerhardman.co.uk: These details are then sold on to law firms, rather than actually going directly through to a solicitor yourself. There is a separate website for the Scottish branch at www.scotlandinjurysolicitors.co.uk which uses the branding of Scotland Injury Solicitors as well. There ar...


www.brianbarr.co.uk: So does that instantly make them a better choice? Certainly a specialist for any case type is preferrable whether it's the entire firm specialising in your legal issue or simply your assigned solicitor within a firm. Certainly you can't get a balanced range of comments as ...


www.brodies.com: We can only direct you to https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?FirmName=brodies&FirmPostcode=&AreaOfLaw=&type=firm&sortOrder=" the search function< a> on their site for you to then try and get information to pop up for yourself. We can't even link you to a page to ...


www.buchananco.co.uk: But according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you put any stock in company provided reviews. But this is true for most reviews about law firms and is something you should bear in mind when trying to get an overview from review sections. However every firm we add to o...


www.calioclaims.co.uk: You'd be amazed at the number of law firms with 5 star reviews for their new menu or 1 star reviews for the poor parking in the town centre. Today while reviewing the website of Calio Claims we'll also be discussing branding. So what are the independent boards such as Googl...


www.cook-law.co.uk: A quick note on navigation. This firm's official website is www.cook-law.co.uk with www.cooklaw.co.uk and both .com versions of the web address being used by other lawyer offices. Of course since the birth of the internet, anyone under the age of 30 will have no...


www.cullimoredutton.co.uk: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591481 cullimore-dutton-solicitors-limited?Solicitors=True" check out the page< a> for Cullimore & Dutton's staff for example you'll see a full list with clickable names for further information on eac...


www.cwj.co.uk: But for any law firm we highly recommend reading the actual reviews rather than simply flicking through star ratings. One of the great things about the birth of the internet is how it has impacted the legal service industry. There are also mentions of Clarkson Wright & Jak...


www.defanksolicitors.com: The firm's official site is www.defanksolicitors.com but www.defanksolicitors.co.uk is not owned by them. It's much harder to find firms that list general costs for other matters because of how varied they can be. The website of The Law Society of England & Wales has a wealt...


www.drummondmiller.co.uk: But the reason we're making a fuss about making sure you're on the correct site, is that over the past decade or so it's become far too common to see headlines about https: www.which.co.uk news article friday-afternoon-fraud-the-scam-that-wipes-out-your-house-deposit-in-se...


www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk: So how can you tell whether the firm, or your individual solicitor, has a good level of experience? class="infoquote "Each of our partners brings a wealth of knowledge and unique expertise"< div> The firm does have a https: www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk our-pa...


www.edclord.co.uk: This is an excellent way for potential clients to get to know the lawyers at EDC Lord and determine whether they have the experience and expertise needed to handle their legal matter. Far too many people https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-ou...


www.emdlaw.co.uk: So we would mark this one down as very much a positive . It might suprise you to know that not all law firms have made this recommended change to their site yet. Today's article covers EMD Law LLP which, from appearances, looks to fit that description quite nicely . Please...


www.evelake.co.uk: This is hugely important to note because for property matters you absolutely need to make sure you are on the correct site and only discussing the sale with your firm. Every property firm will make a promise like this one from the Eve Lake site above. Both deal with pr...


www.fosterandcoleman.com: If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 630363 foster-coleman-limited" the page for any firm< a> you'll see other names they might go by, contact details, staff names, languages spoken, areas of law covered, and even qualification dates of the solicitors...


www.freisolicitors.com: class="infoquote "We determine our client’s objectives during the initial meeting, and always work towards our client’s timetable. The amount of legal work required to buy, sell and just own a house is huge. class="infoquote "extremely clear, concise, pra...


www.girlings.com: It's not as if any firm is claiming to be 'one of the failing' or 'outdated' or 'ineffecient'. If a law firm with only two solicitors in it handles every case type under the sun, they are clearly not specialists. Both are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details ...


www.goldsmithbowers.com: A quick note on navigation with the firm's official website being www.goldsmithbowers.com however www.goldsmithbowers.co.uk does not currently redirect there. This firm is covered by The Law Society of England & Wales which we have long praised for having the best user...


www.guardianlaw.co.uk: Most https: www.thesun.co.uk money 17881174 property-scam-fraud-our-house " target the clients of law firms that handle conveyancing< a> matters but you never know what they'll come up with next. To get the correct reviews to come up we needed to enter the full 'gua...


www.harrisonssolicitors.com: You can also rely on our help in re-mortgaging, selling, or buying a home."< div> . If you look up the top conveyancing firms for the country then check their star ratings on the various review boards you'll see some with 3 or even 2 star ratings but still with thousands of...


www.hcrlaw.com: For example, while www.hcrlaw.co.uk redirects you to the main site, other variants such as www.hcrlegal.com are not currently owned by the firm. HCR have hundreds of staff including solicitors with experience covering the last six decades . While their Cambridge, Cardiff, C...


www.heritageparkfamilylaw.com: 'heritage park family law bedford' .

The main source people turn t...


www.horsleylaw.co.uk: class="infoquote "For a free and confidential discussion about your claim complete the short contact form."< div> A quick note on navigation. While many people will quickly jump online to share their thoughts about a restaurant or spa - they are not so eager to ...

www.your.law: So you need to pay attention to the websites you are on and the emails you receive. It's very difficult to work out which law firm is best for your case based on simply flicking through each firm's website. However, there are no 200-year old lawyers out there waiting to take...


www.keesolicitors.co.uk: 'kee solicitors in aberdeen'. The site is also https secure for submitting your details via that callback form. If you're trying to look for reviews on Google it is becoming more common to have to enter the location as well as the firm's name - e.g. This is more imp...


www.largeandgibson.co.uk: However our poll two years ago showed that there is very low trust for reviews provided by the company themselves. class="infoquote "QualitySolicitors is the largest network of law firms in the UK, with local law firms spanning the whole of England and Wales and cust...


www.lslegaluk.com: These days you can find a solicitor specialising in anything from Criminal Law to Housing Disrepair. One major feature is they list the actual qualification dates and area of law specialties of each individual solicitor registered with them. A quick note on navi...


www.lyonslaw.co.uk: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 394386 lyons" look up the page< a> for this firm you'll see Edward Lyons qualified as a solicitor in 1976, Duncan Shaw in 1994, right up to Anna O'Hara in 2006. But if a law firm states they have '20 years of combined expe...


www.mark-croft-solicitor.co.uk: While statements such as these on some solicitor websites are meant to give the impression of extensive experience - it's pretty much meaningless. It's a shame the Scottish and Irish do not have such a resource. Sometimes with scams so simple as sending them an email stating...


www.mccarthy.ie: So the phrase 'award-winning' is not of itself meaningful. It didn't even link to the secure version of the firm's website either. It's always a sad thing for us to admit with 1to1Legal being a Scottish firm, but The Law Society of England & Wales has produced a far better ...


www.murphysolicitors.co.uk: class="infoquote "Average time to receive a call back - 30 mins"< div> Keep your eye out for statements like these on firm's sites. Thousands of people have https: www.which.co.uk news article friday-afternoon-fraud-the-scam-that-wipes-out-your-house-deposit-...

www.oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk: But while these terms sound wonderful, they are not really helpful for consumers in their search to tell firms apart. So pay attention and certainly never change payment details based on an 'official-looking' email.. class="infoquote "Our Solicitors, Paralegals and s...


www.pcslegal.co.uk: Again, many people end up picking the conveyancer they like without checking with their mortgage provider first which can cause issues. There is a different firm currently using www.pcslegal.com and there is a PCS Commercial Property and a PCS Property Services company in th...

www.dispute-resolver.com: People have also handed their entire house deposit to a fraudster sometimes based on a single faked email. We are not a directory just cramming as many high street solicitors as possible into the pages. More from the Citizens Advice site: class="infoquote "The main ad...


www.sarahandrewslaw.co.uk: In fact for most criminal law, divorce, or property matters people want a firm that solely works on that one area of law. With this, you can always check the experience and expertise of the solicitor you're interested in. Alternatively a smaller firm is imagined as provid...


www.solidaire.co.uk: Also none of the variants we tried such as solidairelaw.co.uk or solidairesolicitors.co.uk were owned by the firm. So what phrases can you use to separate one firm from another? What resources are available to help you? class="infoquote "We are experienced in what w...


www.sternberg-reed.co.uk: Keep safe and keep aware. There are lots of other bits and pieces you can spot about a firm that can help distinguish them from others. Some people just click to purchase the first listing on Amazon to save time. Neither of the variants such as www.sternbergreed.co.uk...


www.thomasandthomassolicitors.co.uk: They do use some of the wording we mentioned before, such as: class="infoquote "Our team of experienced solicitors who are specialists in their particular areas of law have a deep understanding of the legal system"< div> Most firms will claim the same.

www.uvslaw.co.uk: There are various categories of visas and permits available for individuals seeking entry into the UK. So how do you find the best immigration service for your particular needs? class="infoquote "We are committed to providing exceptional legal services to ind...


www.walkerfoster.com: You need to be extra vigilant when it comes to property matters and ensure you are on the correct website and talking to a genuine staff member. The .com version is https-secure though for submitting your personal details on their contact form. class="infoquote "Wa...


www.waterstoneps.com: Fortunately for people living in England and Wales the Law Society covering your two countries (we're in Scotland) has an absolutely amazing amount of information available to the public about the legal professionals registered with them. The snippets above are th...


www.wildcatlaw.co.uk: outdated, impractical, unfriendly, unprofessional, and inexperienced. Always make sure you're on the correct site and never be afraid to call up the firm if you're unsure about anything. class="infoquote "Unlike most law firms in England and Wales we offer both Solic...


www.wilfordsmith.com: This is because the majority of people involved in a property transaction experience problems, delays, and general misery. So they could have 10x staff members with only 4 years of experience each. So for Wilford Smith to have such a high positive profile on review sites is...


www.wolflaw.co.uk: But has that translated over into positive experiences by clients for WolfLaw? The most common way to check that out tends to be the independent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. Such as this cutting above from their website. class="infoquote "W...


www.wymlegal.com: Either the length of time taken, delays that no-one will take the blame for, extra reports being ordered, and more. No 'wym solicitors' variants seem to exist separately. Don't judge these firms too harshly. If you've trawled through even just a handful of law firm websites...
