Here are some more of the helpful information articles our staff have put together and published on our main 1to1Legal UK website:

My 33 Legal Limited: So the fact 33 Legal (or any law firm for that matter) has only a handful or even zero reviews about them - doesn't indicate anything negative. We work on a no win no fee basis meaning you get free expert advice regarding your potential claim."< div> Sounds good, but ob...


5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: There are many firms around the UK that have both solicitors and barristers or dually qualified staff on board. With barristers you'll also find they tend to specialise much more niche-ly than solicitors. Prior to 2004, it was necessary to instruct a firm of solic...

Avery & Walters Ltd: every member of the Avery Walters team is a specialist in their chosen field and has either worked for National Law firms or has been in their sector for many years and are indeed experts in their field"< div> Statements such as these for example can be checked through ...


Aina Khan Solicitors: Beyond that though, they even cover a range of case types relating to international issues which can be unbelievably complex. But what does that actually mean? How many firms are in this never-mentioned list of 'leading firms' for that practice to be one of them? Ten? A hu...

Will Taborn Ltd: On top of that, the cheaper service may be a legal professional that handles nothing but business contracts day in day out making them the more experienced option. Just watch out for adverts Google slips in at the top as they allow advertisers to stuff matching keywords in...


Allsop Durn Dearlove: really.) So always put the star ratings into context by reading the comments that go with. Having crawled through thousands of reviews over the past couple of decades, we're accutely aware of just how regularly people make mistakes. However we will explain why to see if yo...


Apprise Legal Services: Thankfully these days there are a large number of indepedent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp and so on. You'll also find that most specialists in this area of law are more likely to visit you at home for appointments and be able to advise you o...


Autologistic Solutions Limited: Car hire is not cheap. monitor and react instantaneously to all alerted incidents sent by your device which could include a lifesaving call to the emergency services. If you've got amazing insurance cover, it could be one. Until our social manager David bumped into someone f...


AWH Legal Ltd: The official company name is AHW Legal Ltd which is what shows on the Companies House records and The Law Society pages we linked to above. Apparently a local council leader and an MP attended the grand opening of the new merged office. When researching this firm your...


Balfour and Manson Solicitors: They have profile pages for their staff, but all the profile photos show people dressed smartly in an office setting. They want a firm that sounds established, professional, and wig-wearing ... This apparently gives Parlex access to 150 legal specialists across 27 countries ...


Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: She then did 7 years at another international Intellectual Property firm before joining Briffa in 2001. It was an actual Blog. If you don't know how passionate you have to be about a subject to keep a real blog going - just try it. Where does this love of all things I...


CFG Law: So there must be a reason that CFG have created this whilst the majority of others have not. We will help to arrange housing modifications and adaptations or find appropriate alternative accommodation to aid discharge home and ongoing requirements."< div> Having the fu...


CSL Law Croydon: Certainly we get repeat visitors coming back to search for their contact details. It's universally understood that people are more inclined to scour the web for places to leave a review if they've received bad service. So to make sure people didn't have to leave our site if ...


Davey Law: They have the usual spread of social media profiles for you to interact with too. Isobel Addison and Anita Arora each have about 20 years practising law, with around 10 of those years being spent at Davey Law. He is also on the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel since 1999,...


Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: As always, we recommend actually reading the reviews. Whilst the firm has a 'Our People' section where you can read about staff members (something we encourage every law firm to have) it's not instantly clear from the main pages that Driscoll Kingston have some very ...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: It's the same as shampoos which say '90% of users would recommend us!' only to have 'out of 20 people we asked this morning' in small print on the back. Let alone good reviews. Of course, motoring offences can be life changing events. Working with the law and the cour...


EHL Solicitors UK: In 2012 they received the Business of the Year Award for Loughborough. Obviously, using the 'and' in the name would make for a long web address, and you can't have '&' characters in domain names. and yes, I'm seeing the irony being tapped out in front of me ... It's not just...


Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: 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). Unfortunately most companies, not just in the legal industry, use the ...


GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: Clients don't want to feel as though they're always talking to reception or junior staff. They even state having roots in the area as far back as 1749, although clarify this is under a different trading name. Obviously claims to a long heritage look nice and many firms seek ...


HH Law Ltd: Luckily there is a huge range of third party review boards to check as well: class="infoquote "very happy with the service and payout. Not by a larger cheque. The only things we didn't like about this firm don't really bear much relation to their actual work as ...


Helix Law Solicitors: So yes, the fact Helix Law have taken the time to produce such pieces is a positive indication. Recently we've started seeking out more specialist firms to try and save people the hassle of phoning a firm that says they do personal injury, only to find out they don't do 'tha...


Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: The downsides of constantly changing staff and leadership can be easily seen in how our government is run. They've been one of the most successful fundraisers through JustGiving. You'd be lucky to scrape up even a handful on any particular firm. The latter even lists HJA's a...


Hutcheon Law Solicitors: Worst of all are the people who don't do either and just act as if they are personal injury specialists in order to get your personal details so they can sell them on to an actual solicitor - i.e. With the various terms we tried on search engines, the correct website di...


IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: There are very specific pieces such as "The Chain of Representation" or "A Precatory Trust". For a start, they are the only legal service provider that we've ever seen offering a Price Match Promise : class="infoquote "We are confident in our pricing that if on the ra...


Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: If a firm has a handful of bad reviews ten years ago then nothing but 5 star reviews ever since - then we would consider that important to note. When we first started reviewing law firms 20+ years ago, that was standard because solicitors basically were open the same times a...


Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: Often a conditional fee arrangement is put in place where the client pays no money up front, but as much as 25% to 30% of any monies 'won' during a case will be paid to the solicitor on completion. For example, when we checked their site it stated that during their firm's hi...


Kings Court Trust Probate: We always encourage and reward our advisers for going above and beyond what is expected of them so that we can exceed our clients' expectations."< div> Although it doesn't go into detail about what 'reward' advisers get and what kind of things constitute going 'above an...


Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock: However, they decide to play on their newness with a bold statement on the front page of their website: class="infoquote "Kings View Chambers seeks to address the failings in traditional chambers and establish a new and better way for barristers to work. If you've qui...


Kudos Legal Solicitors: For some reason, people really do feel that a firm stating 'established in 1882' must be a much better and a far more experienced firm than one which has only been

Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: Their official website that we've linked to above is www.lawcomm.co.uk and it's an https secure site. Far too often we see companies - not just law firms - fill up their blog section with the most thin articles you'll ever see that are mainly just more sales pitches about ho...


Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: Some refuse to even have a website. We link to the official site above which uses the secure https setup. Our ambition is to build a law firm that is based on long-term, trusting relationships with our clients. Hence my previous comments about 100-year-old firms simply bein...


AJLO Solicitors: The fact any firm has taken the time to apply for membership and gone through the process can only be a positive indication . class="infoquote "... class="infoquote "... If you check The Law Society's https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 435438 alexande...


Meresbrook Pollard Ltd: Word of mouth may suffice. color="green "We work on a fixed fee basis which ensures that our clients are aware from the outset as to what their legal fees will be." < font> That statement isn't actually on their website. Especially if you're trying to type it in ...


MTA Solicitors LLP: It happens to firms all the time where a cold-caller states they are from a certain company in order to seem genuine if the person wants to quickly look them up. However, you may be asked to sign a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) which allows the solicitor to take a cut of...


MurrayHay Solicitors: Read our other reviews of firm's websites and you'll see that we rarely have "ooh!" responses to them. To finish it off, we spotted this statement: "The firm is made up of both male and female staff of varying ages,religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds. He establish...


OJ Solicitors Glasgow: No win, no fee simply means that if the case loses you will not have to pay anything. For example, if a firm does not actually state Medical Negligence as a case type they handle and have at least a few paragraphs talking about it - it would be best to move on to the next f...


Penn Chambers Ltd: Just the fact they kick it off with "We know it is boring, but we have to do it" really matched our own sensibilities. Not just for the legal industry either. So what sort of things can you look for to distinguish which firm has the experience and expertise to handle your c...


Redwood Collections Ltd: VERY fast turnaround ..." "I had a long standing debt that I could not get paid. So if you do see negative reviews of any debt collection company - pay attention to whether they just happen to be the person that ended up having to pay the debt - i.e. Unfortunately ther...


RSR Law Croydon: His particular areas of expertise are stated as Occupational Disease Claims, Employment Law and Contesting Wills. Other firm members of note would be Andrew Paine, a founder and marketing director for Pinnacle One Ltd - and Brian Paine, another company founder of both P...


SBW Lawyers Ltd: Whilst there shouldn't be such issues with the case range SBW Law handle, you should always be in the habit of knowing exactly which site you are on and never discuss payment arrangements via email. . That brings us back to the earlier comment about subtle word difference...


Serious Injury Law Solicitors: John Sherrington qualified in 1985, Timothy Walters in 1997, Jerard Knott in 2002, and right up to Rebecca Hilton in 2017. Over the last 31 years, we have dealt with some of the UK’s largest and most complex serious injury cases, achieving numerous multi-million pound settle...


Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: They have a list on their website but sadly no links to any of them. This is the kind of contact you'll probably not want to be faffing around trying to find details for when the time comes.. class="infoquote "We have experienced teams of criminal defence solicitors i...


Thompsons Solicitors Glasgow: The amount of negligence that caused either injury isn't actually as important when calculating damages. class="infoquote "We are committed to providing the highest standards of client care. class="infoquote "Whenever appropriate and possible we will seek interi...


Thorpe Wilson Ltd: The thing to watch out for is firms stating a wide range of specialities across different areas of law such as Divorce, Bankruptcy, Commercial Property, Immigration, etc. If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 620184 thorpe-wilson-limited" th...


Philip Nam White Collar Legal: class="infoquote "Philip also attends Court representing both Claimants and Defendants on average 53 times a year."< div> This is another standout sentence to bear in mind, as there are varying types of experience when it comes to law. APR on finance and sugar...
