UK Divorce Coach: But a divorce coach might be useful if you find yourself lost or stuck, unsure how to move forward, or struggling with communication and conflict during the process. Divorce coaching is particularly beneficial for those struggling with indecision, high-conflict situati...
Farah Family Law: Larger firms with multiple solicitors who each individually specialise in a particular area of law is a stretch, but it's not nearly as misleading as how others have used it. The short list on the firm's website includes Divorces (Contested and Uncontested), financial settle...
Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors: The website of The Law Society of England & Wales offers a wealth of information about the practices and people registered with them. We are committed to getting the right results for you, for the right fee whilst providing you with a quality service."< div> That's t...
Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd: Some people have https: www.which.co.uk news article scammers-steal-home-deposits-in-callous-conveyancing-scams-afGcO5t39f7o" handed their entire house deposit< a> to a fraudster's bank account sometimes based on nothing more than an official looking email telling them th...
England & Derbyshire LLP: This is because you can't have an ampersand in web addresses. From seasoned veterans to fresh blood. Not only that, there's a lot of different types of legal professional to choose from. The firm could have www.englandandderbyshire.co.uk but as you can see, that looks really...
Nero Legal Ltd: While it may affect your impression of the firm as a whole - donating money to good causes doesn't improve the chances of actually selling your house or getting a favourable divorce. But when you think about it, are there any firms that would claim to offer 'impractical, out...
MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd: We discussed the new Direct Access scheme in the previous article which allows people to hire a Barrister directly rather than having to pay a solicitor to hire a Barrister for them. Often testimonials supplied by the firm are not taken as seriously as those on public review...
Crockett & Co Solicitors: The number of people in the UK that might qualify and the number of case types it applies to is dwindling. How can you check that? Many firms will make claims such as '40 years of experience within the firm' but that could simply mean they have 10 members of staff all wi...
Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law: In fact for most criminal law, divorce, or property matters people want a firm that solely works on that one area of law. Google has changed it's setup recently though and you sometimes have to enter a specific location to see reviews of a firm - e.g. But people can call t...
Cook Legal Ltd:
class="infoquote "Cook Legal is a Wirral law firm. Now you may have to state the location of a company's office to see reviews. But they tend not to run online to discuss their criminal charges, will, messy divorce, or bankruptcy. They handled a wide range of servic...
TWB Probate Solicitors: It's always best to try and stay safe online and not take any unnecessary risks. Some not always very transparent about what they are providing. This is to let people realise and choose from more options than they might think are available. There are a multitude of options...
Brodies LLP Solicitors: While a firm stating they are 'friendly' or 'experienced' sounds great - it needs to be noted that every single law firm will claim to have both those qualities.
class="infoquote "Alzheimer Scotland has been our charity partner since 2020, and we are proud to have ra...
PCS Legal Ltd:
class="infoquote "We are on the Legal Panel for most major banks, building societies and lending institutions and can therefore deal with all mortgage security work on their behalf."< div>
Another thing to bear in mind when deciding between conveyance providers ...
Dispute Resolver Consultancy: At the time of writing this, the Dispute Resolver Consultancy states 14 years of experience on their website and over 500 cases handled which certainly sounds like the level you would want. They all seem more of an ombudsmen type of process. People have also handed their ent...
Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd: That's because while people are often hesitant to discuss their messy divorce or criminal proceedings in public - people have no problem jumping online to complain about how long their house sale is taking. For example at this firm you can see a range of legal professionals ...
Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman: There is a separate website for the Scottish branch at www.scotlandinjurysolicitors.co.uk which uses the branding of Scotland Injury Solicitors as well. So when a firm states you have 'direct access to your solicitor', that's actually a useful thing to note. Our 1to1Legal we...
Solidaire Solicitors: Why is this important? Because not every law firm will state their levels of experience and some may even use unclear language to make people think they have more experience than they actually do. The firm's site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via the...
Defank Solicitors: It's much harder to find firms that list general costs for other matters because of how varied they can be. However that is not the way for things like Criminal Law.
Also don't pay attention to sales tactics such as 'established in 1881'. There are ways you can find ou...
QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson: People simply aren't as quick to discuss their divorce, criminal proceeding, or child custody battle in a review forum. Most people will head to the public boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. As mentioned before the firm's own website www.largeandgibson.co.uk curr...
HCR Legal LLP:
class="infoquote "Speedy, helpful guidance every step of the way"
"they were patient, listened and provided support through what was a very stressful time"

Horsley Law: Neither do any of the variants we tried such as www.horsleysolicitors.co.uk
If you are going to look around for further information about the firm before making a decision, you'll notice that they are known as Horsley Holdings Ltd on both the Law Society and SRA pages...
All Law Ltd: For a start, most of them look the same with the same sales language, promises, and sometimes even the same images of people smiling and shaking hands. So how can you discern one firm from another?
As an example we're going to cover a firm called Law based in Presto...
Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services: Serving clients nationally."< div>
That's the tagline for the Eve Lake website which is an example of a Licensed Conveyancer. Unlike divorce, criminal law, or a will - with a property sale, 99% of the time someone is frustrated with how it's going. Sadly that differenc...
Amy King Legal: Many firms will display accreditations and awards:
class="infoquote "appointed a member of the specialist panel of Personal Injury solicitors in 2001"< div> < br>

class="infoquote "kept fully informed at all times"
"Very professional and to the point"

"excellent service, communication and great results"< div>...
ACSL Solicitors Ltd: This sort of thing is hugely important these days especially if you're using a law firm for a property matter.
class="infoquote "ACSL Solicitors launched in 2009. If you've just finished flicking through a dozen of them before arriving here you'll no doubt have alr...
Sternberg Reed LLP: Each of those will bring up different reviews as well.. But when it comes to legal services it's not unusual for people to spend considerable effort flicking through various firm's websites looking to see which looks right for them . we want to ensure every potential client...
Eatons Solicitors: So how can you tell whether the firm, or your individual solicitor, has a good level of experience?

Wolf Law Solicitors: Unfortunately Scottish and Irish consumers don't have a similar facility to rely upon so count yourselves lucky. But alot of the time doesn't it just seem to be paragraph after paragraph of sales pitches?
If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today y...
SG Murphy Solicitors:
Other positive things that stood out to us was the firm's attempts to provide information on their site. In fact, when we searched for 'SG Murphy's firm on their website it said no such firm existed. Unless you put that in exactly you won't get to see even the few det...
Walker Foster Solicitors: Far too many people have https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1782733 scam-warning-home-deposit-hackers-online" handed their house deposit to fraudsters< a> after just one official looking email pretending to be from their conveyancer..
class="infoquote...
Harrison's Solicitors:
One of the downsides of searching for a firm online is that you only see the website. Their areas of law also show they specialise in Property matters. So if you see that name at the top of things it is the same company . It did for "caversham" and "woodley". Property...
Girlings Solicitors LLP: Today's article focuses on the firm Girlings which has a setup that might seem different and even unusual today, but which was completely common just a decade ago. That's much rarer than you might think. However, we do not recommend picking a firm based on whether they guara...
UVS Law: Be careful of such wording on other sites. Failure to meet the requirements for entry clearance may result in the denial of leave to enter on arrival. If there are only 2x people in the firm covering a dozen areas of law - they cannot be 'specialists'. Especially with everyt...
Kee Solicitors Ltd: The branding matches the web address with www.keesolicitors.co.uk being the official site. Hopefully one day the Scottish database will be as good as the English (which is a tough thing to say as a Scottish firm ourselves!)
class="infoquote "informative, professional ...
Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd: For example www.waterstoneps.co.uk currently does not redirect you to the correct site.
When there is a difference between the firm name and the web address it is sometimes a good idea to bookmark it just in case.
But even if the firm you're checking on does h...
Mark Croft Solicitor: If you look up the Law Society of England & Wales you can check the alternate trading names, contact details, other offices, languages spoken and most importantly the qualification dates of any legal professionals within the firm. It's a shame the Scottish and Irish do not h...
EMD Law LLP: Otherwise, why share your private matters with the world? We definitely recommend reading the full reviews when it comes to solicitor offices and to never just flick through star ratings. We just rarely find good comments in the hand-picked testimonials. But a lot of firms...
Lyons Solicitors: You could get a 1-year qualified lawyer from a 200-year-old firm, or a 40-year veteran from a 1-year-old firm. It's common for companies in any industry to provide customer testimonials on their website. Because some can be quite sneaky about it. If you've flicked through h...
Brian Barr Solicitors: The firm's site is HTTPS secure for entering your details on the contact form but always be aware of what site you're on and never discuss payments via email these days. is to get a wider range of opinions but also to see if there are any themes in the negative feedback to...
Frei Solicitors: People are simply not as quick to rush online and discuss how their criminal arrest, messy divorce, life changing injury, or child custody matter went compared to, for example, the pizza they just ordered. Because when you target a very small market of individuals with your ...

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors: Not so many firms are forthcoming with such details, especially those trying to disguise their levels of experience. The largest conveyancing firm in England last year had a Google review star rating in the 3s and some of the most praised conveyancing companies we've worked...
The Law Partnership Solicitors: With extra emphasis on good speed during house sales purchases. The Law Society have a data-packed user-side offering where you can search information on any registered firm. Also, not all of them state it clearly. Something you just don't see elsewhere. 'Divide the numbe...
Wilford Smith Solicitors: To start with, if you want to see reviews about a firm on Google these days you have to enter the office location of the firm as well as their name.

Foster & Coleman Ltd:

A City Law Firm Ltd: But they certainly sound as if they take their role in consumer information seriously. Sometimes even for big brands we've had to type in the location of the head office to get the correct reviews to show up.

Buchanan & Co Solicitors: So certainly their claims of decades of experience are well backed up . So when you see a firm stating they are good with clients like the snippet above - feedback is sometimes the only precheck possible. Also while the firm's branding uses an ampersand, such characters ht...
