Want Experienced Opinions from the Industry?

Not enough? Well not to worry. Here are some more of the helpful information articles our staff have drawn together and published on our main 1to1Legal website:

2 Harcourt Chambers: Not the chambers as a whole. That's because whilst the head office is technically located in the same building, most barristers work from home or out of offices near their home. If you search the usual comment boards such as Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook there may only be ...


A City Law Firm: That last bit of data is hugely helpful when it comes to working out if a firm is experienced or not. 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. This is something to watch out for though....


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: At the time of writing this firm had 295 reviews on Google alone. Because whilst every word in that sentence sounds great - most firms say the exact same thing so it doesn't really help you distinguish one firm from another. An actual sit down with an experienced so...


Beers Solicitors LLP: Sadly https: www.lawgazette.co.uk news conveyancing-fraud-gang-jailed-for-diverting-deposit-monies 5103305.article" thousands of people have handed their life savings< a> over to fraudsters simply because they received an email telling them the bank details for their hous...


Bellax Solicitors: For example Richard Kerry qualified in 1993, Natalie Bradshaw in 2009, Saira Walji in 2017, right up to Wioleta Dworak who qualified as a solicitor just in 2020. In fact for most of them no comments were left at all - just a low star rating which we always think is just plai...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site. If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 621785 bridge-mcfarland-llp" the staff page< a> for th...


Brown & Co Solicitors: They have an actual fees page which is definitely a rarity amongst legal providers as well. On top of that there are useful staff profiles on their website which we strongly advise every law firm to produce. With each focusing on different areas of law those numbers do stan...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: So make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. . Buchanan and Company do have a Testimonials page on their website. If you've been through a few other articles or pages of this site you may have noticed that 1to1Legal tries to offer a rang...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: class="infoquote "QualitySolicitors Burton & Co based in Lincoln and Sleaford have a proud tradition of serving the people of Lincolnshire for over 200 years. For example John Wood qualified as a solicitor in 1977, Judith Brennan in 1987, Nicola Booth in 2001, Jodie P...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: First is that every personal injury firm should charge you no fees at all if they lose your case. So what can you use? Like most companies, Calio Claims provides client testamonials on their website. This is true for negative issues as well with any firm you are resea...


Cook's Solicitors: class="infoquote "Dianne Sumner has over twenty-five years' experience of helping people move house. Again though, whilst many solicitors use different trading names to highlight specific case types out of the same office - this one relates to a completely individual ...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: We don't typically give direct advice in these articles, but we feel safe saying you can pretty much ignore ancient foundation date claims. One firm may say "established in 1881" while another says "40 years of experience". class="infoquote "Our team are focused on ...

The Law Partnership Ltd: That means you can look up how many years someone has been a solicitor for any of those firms and what areas of law they specialise in. Lots of people make mistakes leaving reviews so the best thing to do is look for any positive or negative 'themes' amongst the actual...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: The main difference between firms on the matter of fees is how they reclaim their own costs should the case win or lose. But note that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation guarantee' are not the same thing. On the David Stinson & Co website there is https: www.d...


Disrepair Claims UK: That means they do not have solicitors on staff but will take your details, discuss your case, then find a solicitor from their own panel of firms to process the matter on your behalf. To get the mould destroyed. Or better still, post underneath their ad post asking for t...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: That may sound like something you would never fall for. This has had some great impacts on the industry in the way it deals with clients and the ease and speed at which things can be dealt with. So what can you use? People typically rush to review forums when...


EDC Lord Solicitors: Therefore, it is extremely important to us that we provide an excellent service."< div> One of the standout features of the EDC Lord website is the detailed information provided on each of the firm's practice areas. A quick note on navigation. This is an excellen...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: class="infoquote "With a reputation of providing prompt, practical and cost-effective solutions in a number of practice areas, they can guide you through the most challenging of circumstances."< div> The most common place people go to first when researching a f...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: led Frazer Coogans into rapid expansion to be one of the leading firms in the West Coast of Scotland."< div> It's hugely common for companies to claim they are 'one of the leading' in something. Unfortunately, the Law Society for Scotland's website is nowhere near...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: Whoever it was certainly seemed annoyed at the firm but it was a slightly odd claim about 'they are trying to silence me' ? class="infoquote "free consultation with one of our experts about your needs and how we can help"< div> Despite our modern times of free ...

Guardian Law Ltd: https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 471765 guardian-law-limited" For this firm< a> you'll see the two principal solicitors Claire Scanlan and Nichola Elenor qualified in 2003 and 2002 respectively. However when we searched for 'guardian law' online we were returned...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: But it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the scam of ' https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" phishing< a>' and maybe read a few articles about https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk conveyancing-scams " conveyancing scams< a> to see just how bad it can be if ...


JPS Walker Solicitors: So if you see one written on a solicitor's site it does not mean both are on offer. Prior to this date the law firm was called JPS Legal Ltd. However we've recently discovered that case studies on a law firm's website go down very well with potential clients too. That mean...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: It's like trying to find a dentist that will work on the NHS funding. It's just that for Litigation matters, solicitors tend to list all the various types of injury separately. It's still very much a specialty though. That might not sound like something amazing, but in reali...


LS Legal Solicitors: class="infoquote "we cooperate with our trusted partners who can assist with accountancy, investment management, legal funding, franchise and other services"< div> . So what are the independent forums saying? class="infoquote "highly professional and super hel...


Mac Jones Solicitors: There are a considerable number of reviews for each office on Google and dozens of others across the other independent boards. If we do add a general law practice in an area though, we try to find one that looks the most 'solid'. So what are people saying: class="in...


MJV Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "efficient, professional, helpful & informative every step of the way" "very efficient and professional team, putting us at ease throughout this difficult process" "MJV was head and shoulders above any other firm we've used"< div> The com...


Fentimans My Law Matters: In fact, that's something we always recommend when it comes to law firms. A mix of genders, ages, and years of experience amongst staff can only be a good thing for a law firm. But how old a firm's branding is quite meaningless if a 200-year old firm gives you a 1-year exper...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: We've seen law firms given 5 stars for their amazing new menu. Which is reflected on their website where they state a list of local charities they are involved with as well: class="infoquote "NJS Law are proud patrons of: Inspiringirls, East Cheshire Eye Societ...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: 'one' and 'law') most search terms will bring up the firm at the top of results. With that in mind we always recommend people read actual comments left rather than simply flicking through the star ratings. It also provides the qualification dates and specialties of each le...


LRose Law Ltd: Just always make sure you know exactly which site you are on, which email addresses you are responding to, and we recommend putting full name displays in your phone contact list as well. At the time of writing, any variation such as 'lrose solicitors' or 'rose fendlen solici...


RM Solicitors: However we've been reviewing law firms and trawling through dozens of such websites daily for over twenty years now . class="infoquote "We are happy to have an initial discussion with you, with no obligation and no charge."< div> We would absolutely expect any fi...


Simper Law: class="infoquote "We are always happy to have an initial conversation to discuss your case and answer questions that you may have."< div> A quick note on navigation. At Simper Law they have legal professionals from each of the last three decades available. They ev...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see . The official site is www.smithandgraham.co.uk and currently www.smithandgraham.com doesn't not redirect there. class="infoquote "Established in 1888, Smith and Graham Solicitors has...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: We always recommend speaking to someone at the firm before going ahead. Whichever side you've typically come down on in the past, we don't think the size of the firm should sway your decision to use them. We always say that experience isn't everything, but a good mix of se...


Summerfield Browne: Plus, for the public boards things can get a little more complicated. We've always said to ignore average ratings and always read comments . However if you actually read through the comments you see one reviewer stating "I have provided them with amazing pension advice" whi...


Swain and Co Solicitors: For a start there are hardly any law firms left willing to work under Legal Aid. The above are snippets from the firm's own testimonial page. For example, if you saw a negative 1-star review for Burger King complaining that they don't serve pizza - you would think the r...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: But we think it's even more important for Immigration because the laws involved are constantly changing and can often involve the laws of various other countries as well. We even have a list of the most 'problematic' firms based on the complaints databases. Immigration is ...


The Lady Barrister: That's because reviews left underneath the chamber's name will be about one specific lawyer within it. The site is https secure for submitting your personal info. However some of the reviews on her site are provided by peers she has worked with on cases. The .com version of ...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: The majority will have a huge chunk of negative comments. Just try looking up the star ratings of several other property firms in your area. Maintaining such high ratings whilst working in that industry is pretty impressive . . Also be aware that if a firm has more than o...


WH Law Ltd: So full time at just immigration asylum matters is decent enough to add up. You can see for WH their main lawyer Waleed Hassan has been practising law since 2011. If there is only one or two solicitors in the practice and they say they specialise in three dozen types of law ...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: Wildcat Law have gone a step further in this process by having both types of help within one firm. class="infoquote "Unlike most law firms in England and Wales we offer both Solicitors and Barristers in one firm."< div> This statement on Wildcat Law's s...


Wilford Smith: A firm covering personal and business matters with local offices in Sheffield and Rotherham. First, a quote from their website: class="infoquote "We are more than just a law firm. This is unusual though because the firm deals with Conveyancing. Also if you see the nam...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: class="infoquote "You will find us approachable, straight-forward and responsive."< div> Unfortunately there is often a lot of sales-pitchy language on any law firm's website. In any industry there are obviously those firms that thrive on publicity and who like se...


Young & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our specialisation in our key areas make us experts rather than 'jack of all trades'."< div> Areas of law that a firm handles is also something you can usually confirm on the Law Society website, right down to each individual solicitor's chosen a...
