A.C.S.L. Solicitors: Other common sales phrases many use include 'we are a modern firm', 'friendly staff', and 'very experienced'. So when it comes to legal services you really need to actually read the comments rather than flick through just the star ratings in order to get the full picture. ...


Brian Barr Ltd: The firm's branding is reflected in the web address with the official site being simply www.brianbarr.co.uk (www.brianbarr.com does not redirect there). Many use similar wording, similar images, and make similar claims. It provides a wealth of information on any of the firms...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: That's a range of solicitors with experience throughout the past four decades .

Drummond and Miller Solicitors: So any conveyancer with a high star rating is a rarity. That was until the internet came along.

LS Legal Solicitors: LS Legal is an interesting case study and a helpful way to explain how law firms can be set up these days. If a firm has only 1-2 solicitors but handles every case type under the sun - then it's fair to assume they are not as experienced or up to date as a firm with s...


Lyons Law: A quick note on navigation as there are several firms with 'lyons' in the name such as Lyons and Company and even one in the same town - Lyons Davidson. The age of the logo is not important. However, despite it looking slightly odd for a law firm to claim it specialise...

Waterstone PS: Because they also provide the qualification dates and areas of law focused on by each solicitor. Common sense dictates there will not be a 200-year-old wise old lawyer running the place. Many house buyers have handed over tens of thousands of pounds into a fraudsters bank ...
