Richmond Legal Ltd: Typically firms will handle a wide range of case types, or they will specialise. Therefore any legal professional still willing to help clients apply and then work under those provisions will always get some respect from us . The number of 'award-winning' law firms we've se...
Trust Inheritance Ltd: Clearly some mix up with company names in the area. Another thing that should be mentioned though is the level of alternate and individual services Trust Inheritance Ltd provide from their site. We've talked a lot before about specialists versus general practice firms. ...
Bilkus & Boyle: The official website we link to above is www.bilkusandboyle.com but at the moment www.bilkusandboyle.co.uk does not redirect there. So when we say B&B have a very positive rating, that's actually quite an accomplishment for a firm dealing with property matters. However the...
Catteralls Solicitors: Catteralls are signed up with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have a fantastic website full of consumer information on firms. That's surely a very good sign. A quick note on navigation as we've seen a few common errors popping up in th...
Penerley Lawyers: 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. There's therefore been quite a surge in the number and type of l...
The Search Bureau: With just a few fake emails the scammers can seem to convince home owners to hand over tens of thousands of pounds to a completely different bank account. SDLT.co.uk help stop stamp tax form rejections by pre-populating the forms and providing a printed SDLT5 certificate -...
Education Law Service Ltd: However for Special Needs Education Law absolutely the sooner you're talking to someone with the expertise and experience to guide you - the better.. At the moment most scammers are https: www.eveningexpress.co.uk news business home-movers-warned-scammers-could-be-target...
Pump Court Chambers: But be aware that if you search for 'pump court barristers' or other related terms you may see www.onepumpcourt.co.uk, www.4pumpcourt.com, www.5pumpcourt.com, www.6pumpcourt.co.uk and more show up the search results. you'll see that many of the reviews are about specific ind...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: The courts should be trying to repair the damage done.
The reason we point out common errors is because of how easy it is for people to think they are on the correct site or being emailed from an official address when they are not. The most obvious mistake people might...
Lindsays Solicitors:
class="infoquote "The talented people who work in our four offices are the heart of our business"< div>
The firm isn't lacking in experience it seems with a mix of seasoned professionals such as Katherine Wyatt who qualified in 1998. Considering the size and sc...
Aspire Licensing: A last word from Aspire's own site:
class="infoquote "Aspire Licensing and Administrative Services offers a one stop shop for all licensing services applied for under the Licensing Act 2003."< div>. Mostly due to having recieved an email that looked official telling th...
OTS Solicitors Ltd:
class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is one of the UK's leading law firms located in the City of London."< div>
No matter how many law websites you've already dug through today, you'll have seen such a statement on all of them. We did so and there were dozens includin...
Reid Black Solicitors: None of the mis-spellings or full branding domains such as www.reidblacksolicitors.com .co.uk seemed to be showing anything either. This is very different from the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) and we're putting together an article to explain the difference better....
Howe + Co Solicitors: 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. A wide range of very seasoned, experienced practitioners alongside plenty of young blood to keep things fresh and moving forwa...
Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister: They would then contact a barrister to actually do the work and court representation. Whether a general commercial law issue, shareholder dispute, insolvency, employment disagreement, or a regulatory disciplinary matter. The old 'Jack of all trades ...' maxim. We've seen sev...
Levins Solicitors: So if there are dozens of positive reviews about a legal company and all the negative reviews are about conveyancing - it's something to keep in mind. There may therefore be some confusion amongst the Google reviews because most of the negative comments we saw were followed ...
Aconveyancing Ltd: No matter which you use such as Google, Yelp, Yell.com, or Trustpilot - the majority of firms dealing with property sales will have a wealth of negative reviews. So what can you use to judge the experience and merits of the hundreds of conveyancing firms available?
c...
The Injury Solicitor Ltd: Most are and new firms know it can give peace of mind to prospective clients. They do not mean the same thing. Whilst it's not mandatory for a law firm or lawyer to register with their local Law Society. But we also add firms that are large, small, niche, general practice, ...
RD Costings: Assisting Victims of Violent Crimes, Domestic and Sexual Abuse."< div>
If you've already been through several law firm websites today, you'll probably have noticed that even personal injury focused lawyers tend to list Criminal Injury matters as more of a "yes, we do th...
MGBe Legal: So it may be an idea to bookmark the site . Law Society accrediations are not simply stamps given out for show either. The page also lists Gabriella as a consultant for SLIG Law LLP, Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, and Fadiga & Co Ltd. Most mentioned the depth of knowledg...
McEwan Fraser Legal: Plus, the generic term 'legal' which can often cause confusion when part of a solicitor's name is actually a solid part of their branding. For all of our quick quotes, we would each have had to call up after to get a proper idea of how much the property might sell for.
...
Fieldfisher LLP: You'll see Fieldfisher have lawyers from each of the past four decades including Ian Austin (qualified in 1986), Bridget Collier (1997), Mark Greenhalgh (2008, and Jonathon Bell (2017). Such firms we often say can lose that personal touch and reduce complaints from unhappy c...
APS Legal & Associates:
class="infoquote "APS Legal and Associates are one of the UK’s largest and most reputable will writing and estate planning companies."< div>
Most websites make claims like this using terms such as "estimated", "possibly", "one of the", "up to" and so on.
The...
Linkilaw Solicitors: A final word from Linkilaw about their services:
class="infoquote "With straight forward and clear-cut advice, we help start-ups and entrepreneurs navigate law to help them succeed."< div>. We might even have to disagree with them on the strength of that assessment as ...
NV Legal Ltd:
So reading both the lines themselves and the stuff inbetween, you can be pretty confident that such would not be the case with NV Legal. Usually people expect the term specialist to apply to firms that deal with more niche titles such as Wills or Motor Offenses. The off...
Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP: We also saw that neither www.srlaw.co.uk or the .com redirected you to the correct site. Thankfully, if the firm you're interested in is based within England or Wales they are most likely registered with the national Law Society. This is important because some firms will use...
DFA Law LLP: For legal matters though, a handful of comments by clients who may have not had anything like the issues you're looking to resolve - is that enough? For making a quick Will, maybe. For larger life-changing matters, maybe not. Obviously we were impressed enough with this fir...
Ian Mallon Solicitors: What we can do for you though, is clarify our reasons for wanting to work with them.
However the staff profiles on this firm's site were spot on. The reviews were always mixed in on each site though. Unfortunately today https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 5913...
The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc: So just pay attention to where you are and what you type in. The case was a success."
"would always answer calls nomatter how many times we needed reassuring or didn't understand something"< div>
These snippets from the more common review boards such as Google, Yel...
Thorpe Wilson Solicitors: However the list above is actually a genuine specialist list because most of those case types come under the umbrella term of Litigation. We saw a review recently where someone left a one star rating for an Immigration firm for refusing to take on their Divorce case. There...
Allsop Durn Solicitors: This firm https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 462483 allsop-durn?Solicitors=True" is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales< a> which has considerably more public information about it's members than most others. We've had someone rant about...
MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP: Therefore if you flick through the comments section of a third party review forum , it's probably a good idea to ignore any negative rating that relates to having been annoyingly cold-called by someone stating they were from MTA. What makes us unique is our people."< div> ...
Apprise Legal Services: Don't just look at an average rating and judge by that. Very satisfied with the outcome."< div>
The advice we always give regarding review boards though is to absolutely read through the comments . When we tried typical variants such as www.appriselegal.co.uk or www.ap...
Aina Khan Law Ltd: It may have nothing to do with their actual legal expertise. Aina Khan Law Ltd for example are signed up with The Law Society for England & Wales. Aina Khan's site says something similar:
class="infoquote "Aina Khan OBE Solicitor is a world-renowned family Law speciali...
Taborns Legal Business: A piece on the University of Oxford appealling for help with a legal dispute AI-based system.
Taborns offer a "Legal Concierge Outsourcing" service which doesn't seem to have a very in-depth explanation on the website:

R James Hutcheon Solicitors:
If you've read any of our other review articles, you'll know that any firm we add to the 1to1Legal network has something about it we like that made them stand out. If you do see an actual compensation calculator on a firm's site though, don't bother with it. We think t...
Penn Chambers Solicitors: On the subject of navigation though, please note that the official site is www.pennchambers.co.uk with www.pennchambers.com not currently showing anything. Many solicitors will charge a fixed fee for an initial consultation. If you use up the hour asking questions you could ...
Frank Rogers Law Ltd:
That needed to be made clear because we didn't add the Frank Rogers legal practice to our list of recommended firms simply because they specialise in one area of law (and therefore must be better).
We've linked to the official site www.frankrogerslaw.co.uk above...
OJ Solicitors Ltd: Whilst there are hundreds of law firms proudly stating 'established in 1881' - it is impossible for there to be a 150-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting his knowledge to the rest of the staff.
class="infoquote "At OJ Solicitors, we are here to represent mai...
Kudos Legal Ltd: Some sections kept flicking into broken coding when viewing the site on our phones tablets.
But what are the opinions of other people? Of course, Kudos Legal have testimonials on their website. So despite many law firms making a fuss of their heritage - in our opinion i...
Serious Law LLP: A good mix of seasoned experience along with fresh minds and ideas. Whilst scammers tend to https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conveyancing-scam-friday-afternoon-fraud-legal-sector-email-hacker" target law firms that handle property matters< a>, you ...
5 Essex Court: Hopefully as more and more people get wind of the option, we'll start seeing more publicly available feedback about the various barristers chambers as well. On this site like most chambers you'll be presented with each barrister's case focus, experience and usually some test...
Avery Walters Solicitors: So how can you tell the jargon from the actual promises and the quality firms from the bad? Well, there are actually more tools available than you might think. If you check the site for England & Wales you can look up the expertise and experience (or at least the qualifica...
AWH Solicitors: This idea of a firm that does well with clients is backed up by their considerable growth over the years.
class="infoquote "We provide a free 15 minute initial consultation for all of our services except for immigration law. But on the web you could be dealing with ...
Hampson Hughes Solicitors: You can look up the expertise and years of experience of any solicitor registered with The Law Socienty.
As you'll have seen on the Law Society page we linked to above, this firm also goes by HH Law Limited. Not by a larger cheque.
class="infoquote "Our team of a...
Lawcomm Solicitors:
Lawcomm should also get a couple of thumbs up for having a proper Blog section. Some of the largest and most successful conveyancing firms in the country with over a thousand reviews each end up with 2 5 and 3 5 ratings because of how precarious property sales can be....
Redwood Collections Ltd: Some are set up to send threatening letters and do some doorstep visits. Redwood Collections is a debt collection firm based in Croydon. By now though, we would actually suggest avoiding any firm that doesn't engage in good technology-based service such as video conferencing...
Alexander JLO Solicitors: This type of complaint should absolutely be ignored and should really be deleted. Accredited legal professionals undergo a rigorous process including demonstrating extensive experience, expertise and high standards of practice. At the very least, never discuss bank detail...
GloverPriest Solicitors: Overall though, each office has positive reviews:
class="infoquote • "... on the ball the entire time, no stone left unturned. It's as if they believe solicitors need 'humanising'. That's because so many things can go wrong outside of the actual solicitor's con...
Jarmans Solicitors Ltd: For Jarmans Solicitors Ltd there are 8 solicitors listed with qualification dates ranging from 1978 to 2005.
Just as a couple of examples: a founding member of the firm, Barry Bond, heads the commercial and employment departments with over 40 years under his belt resu...
33Legal Ltd: I hope it helped at least. But if everyone is saying the same - what can you check to see what separates them? Not alot of people realise that there is a much more official way to see complaints about a firm than just skimming through Google reviews.
Unfortunately w...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors: But in this case the small print states the word 'success' only meant achieving the expected outcome. This is often a one-day event listening to a lecturer. There is a reason most people seek out a motor offence specialists rather than just using the same solicitor that hand...
Driscoll Kingston: Over the past 20+ years of writing about law firms I've come to realise you can tell a lot about a firm from the type of things they put in their News Blog sections. Jennifer Campbell was helpful, imformative [sic] and kept us updated at all times."
"Driscoll Kingston were...

The best resource we know of is website of The Law Society of England & Wales. clients. Today's article centres around the firm SBW Law. Whilst there ...
IWC Probate & Will Services: However, we have seen comparison sites starting to pop up for legal services and don't recommend using those. (That's actually the first time we've seen a law firm mentioned on NetMums.) There are hundreds of reviews about IWC Probate and Will Services which is also rather...
Briffa Legal Ltd: He speaks fluent German and French and still works in the music industry on the side.
