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: The latter is typically a full team of various staff working together with receptionists, PAs, HR department, meeting rooms, and waiting rooms with plants, magazines, and the obligatory fish tank. However before we get into that, we should probably share the opening li...


A City Law Firm: So for any firm you're able to see for yourself whether there is a decent amount of experience individually and collaboratory in the firm you're thinking of using. A City Law Firm has been on our network for a while now and has many aspects about it you may have come acr...


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: At the time of writing this firm had 295 reviews on Google alone. class="infoquote "Backhouse Solicitors is a modern and forward thinking solicitors firm offering high levels of expertise and service to individuals, businesses and their owners."< div> Toda...


Beers Solicitors LLP: The reason you need to be aware of potential issues is because there are lot of scams going around just now targeting case types where clients have to pay large lump sums - such as property matters. So how can you tell if a firm has a good amount of experience if the fo...


Bellax Solicitors: The official website is www.belllax.com (triple 'l') with www.belllax.co.uk redirecting you there too. That's usually how a firm with a wide case range can still technically call themselves a 'specialist'. But that doesn't mean we don't understand the value that list of ca...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: There is also a huge difference between a firm that claims to have 40 years of experience and 40 years of experience 'within the firm' or 40 years of 'combined experience'. If it was an award for best logo design, then that doesn't really help you as a potential cli...


Brown & Co Solicitors: That's a lot of experience. The first is whether a firm is actually experienced and the other about firms which cover a range of case types rather than a single specialty. Other variants such as www.brownandco.co.uk take you to completely different firms and you can't have ...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: Luckily there is a great resource online with The Law Society of England & Wales who provide a wealth of data on any law firm registered with them. class="infoquote "Our friendly and approachable team are here to help you deal with whatever legal issue you ha...

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 ...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: Jordans Solicitors became QualitySolicitors Jordans. An enviable group of staff to have at any firm surely? Legal-based or not. And Burton & Co became QualitySolicitors Burton & Co. We are now part of a national network of firms under the QualitySolicitors Brand."< div> ...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: For the new generations of potential clients looking up a law firm on the internet, they are simply more likely to want to use a firm called "Swift Claims" compared to "Swift & Johnson Solicitors Ltd". class="infoquote "Calio Claims has helped thousands of people rec...


Cook's Solicitors: We've been writing articles on and working with law firms for over twenty years now, and one trend we dislike intensely are the ancient establishment claims. Whilst that might mean you'll need slightly more concentration to make sure your researching information about ...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: The main issue with typing wrong web addresses directly into the browser bar is that when typos like that occur you can end up being redirected to a https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Phishing" phishing< a> site. they are all forms of litigation and typically follow the sa...


Disrepair Claims UK: If you can't find a local solicitor to take your case directly, then absolutely - this is a useful alternative way to try and get someone to help. There are firms that specialise in a single area of law, such as Criminal Defence. Then there are firms that have several specia...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: class="infoquote "great value considering all the effort they expended on our behalf" "always willing to answer any questions" "straight forward, professional and won my appeal" "regularly kept us informed by email on how the case was progressing"< div> These...


EDC Lord Solicitors: The website also features profiles of the firm's lawyers , with detailed biographies and information about their areas of expertise. The comments and reviews seem mostly positive: class="infoquote "took the time to explain the entire process clearly and concise...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: A good alternative resource we've recommended multiple times for backchecking legal professionals is the website of The Law Society of England & Wales. People have no problem jumping online to type their thoughts about a local pizza place or lamp store - they are le...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: The Law Society of England & Wales' website is an excellent resource for people in those areas. That doesn't look good, but this is why we always recommend you actually read the negative comments rather than just relying on star ratings. The official name of the firm is Fr...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "We work with law firms in other jurisdictions, where we have close links and strong personal relationships, in order to achieve our clients’ objectives."< div> However this means the regular tips and rules which we advise people such as htt...


Guardian Law Ltd: That's because while many people are very happy to post about the great pizza or hotel stay, they are less inclined to publicly discuss their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or criminal convictions. So make sure you are always on the correct site and never discuss payment details...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: Prior to access being available you had to pay a solicitor to hire a barrister to deal with certain court matters. class="infoquote "Barristers Mohsin Aslam was very professional too when he articulated case" "Spencer's friendly demeanour and flexibility ensures the...


JPS Walker Solicitors: class="infoquote "With 30 years experience and dedicated to looking after you"< div> Most legal practices will make some sort of claim like this. JPS https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 597491 jps-walker-solicitors-ltd" are registered with< a> The Law So...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: But if your case wins the solicitor you hire may take a cut of your settlement. well, we think so anyway. The second means there are no costs to you at all throughout the entire case, win or lose. Lefevres do have some bits of customer feedback on their website. Since the 90...


LS Legal Solicitors: One major feature is they list the actual qualification dates and area of law specialties of each individual solicitor registered with them. It can get very confusing when trying to find a solicitor for your case. In times gone by (we've been banned from writing 'in t...


Mac Jones Solicitors: and recommendations"< div> A quick note on navigation as the firm uses a shortened version for the web address. class="infoquote "In a tough legal world we are here to fight your corner."< div> If you've scrolled through a dozen solicitor websites already ...


MJV Law Solicitors: It dawned on us straight off the bat with this statement on the front page of the firm's website: class="infoquote "MJV Co is a firm of Blackpool Solicitors working across the Fylde Coast, including Lytham, Cleveleys, Bispham, Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood who are ow...


Fentimans My Law Matters: But as long as the separate branding efforts have been strong (as Fentimans seem to have done with theirs), you should be able to check out reviews on the team you will be using plus the main firm behind it without any issues. That's probably why only 8% of you voted last ...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: Here you can get clear answers about the experience levels of a firm AND their specialist case types. However, there are plenty of sentences on law firm's websites that can tell you real differences between them. If a firm says something like 'established in 1881' - that's m...

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: Surely a desirable mix of fresh eyes with wise minds? (We can be poetic sometimes!) class="infoquote "easy to contact and responded to emails usually the same day" "super quick and kept a good communication through out the process" "helped navigate my property s...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: Right now the largest scam by far plaguing the legal industry is house deposit fraud. For example, this morning the other law firm we wrote an article on had a 5 star rating for their 'excellent desserts'. Practically every firm will claim to be friendly and modern. Un...


LRose Law Ltd: None of the variants we tried such as www.rflaw.co.uk or www.lroselaw.com seemed to be owned by the firm. Most people that end up on our site have usually already scrolled through a dozen or so law firm sites before getting here. One last point: class="infoquote "Get ...


Simper Law: The age of the firm's brand name is pretty much meaningless and often tenuously worked out to begin with using the wife's-cousin's-dog's-next-door-neighbour approach to linking up the current firm with an older name. At first glance Simper Law looks like a regular high...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: We've seen law firms with 5 star reviews for their food and 1 star reviews for the bad haircut they got. There is no ampersand in domain names so www.smith&graham.co.uk can't exist and currently no firms are using variants such as 'www.smithgraham.co.uk' either. The first is...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: 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. So the name is still quite unique. We always say that experience isn't everything, but a good mix of seasoned staff alongside new youthful ent...


Summerfield Browne: Today's is going to discuss Summerfield Browne Solicitors as they have an alternate setup which they've run for many years but which is now becoming more popular since Covid. On the whole they are positive, however in the case of https: www.google.com search?q=summerfiel...


Swain and Co Solicitors: There are unhelpful positive reviews too, such as: class="infoquote "Easy to find, parking near by, less than one minutes walking from the train station" "Food and service, top notch"< div> But if you read through the actual comments such as the second one do...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: This kind of offering demonstrates two things (to us at least). The absence of negative information isn't the best indicator of a positive choice. But the phrase 'no news is good news' has stood the test of time for a reason - i.e. We don't often give out specific advi...


The Lady Barrister: So if you've spent the last few hours reading endless sales-pitch paragraphs on solicitor websites - this might be a welcome break: class="infoquote "... However for barristers there simply isn't as much publicly available information. But what about experience? Norma...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: That should mean the practice has a very good mix of seasoned, wise old heads but with eager, fresh ideas thrown in . There is also a huge amount of people that leave negative reviews about the other side's solicitor during a house transaction which seems incredibly unfair ...


The Law Partnership Ltd: With much more flexibility these days in working placements, you could find a 40-year veteran solicitor at a 1-year old law firm and a 1-year novice at a 200-year old firm. Lots of people make mistakes leaving reviews so the best thing to do is look for any positive ...


WH Law Ltd: It's not enough to just say you are a specialist. Especially for certain case types such as Divorce, Criminal Law, Motoring Offences, Conveyancing, and Immigration - the latter of which is what the firm clearly handles. class="infoquote "Unfortunately immigrating to...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: Sound results."< div> Most companies use words such as modern, practical, friendly, professional, experienced, etc in their website text and it all sounds great. The firms branding is quite unique so even error searches we tried such as 'wildcat legal' brought up the c...


Wilford Smith: This is unusual though because the firm deals with Conveyancing. Which makes these statements almost useless for a consumer trying to tell the firms apart. Those are merely claims about the firm's branding having existed for a really long time. First, a quote from their webs...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: So always makes sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments via email. . With three words 'woodstock', 'legal' and 'services' there an many variables possible but all we checked such as www.woodstocklegal.co.uk were not active. class="infoquote "impre...


Young & Co Solicitors: Certainly we may sound very 'pro' Young & Co Solicitors with this articles. We also hold CQS, The Law Society's quality mark for legal experts in buying or selling property and are trusted by some of the UK's biggest lenders."< div> To most people that list of accr...
