Want an Experienced Opinion?

The people at 1to1Legal have been working in the industry for over 20 years and have worked with hundreds of firms and thousands of solicitors. Here are links to our colleagues unbias comments on firms we know:

A.C.S.L. Solicitors: Unless there is a firm out there saying the like to use 'complicated English', are 'out of date', 'unfriendly', or 'inexperienced' - then this sort of information has not helped. That's a big plus in our opinion and rarer than you might think. However, that is not the case....


Amy King Solicitor: The official website is www.amykinglegal.co.uk which we link to at the top. (Yes, even law firms use sneaky marketing tricks.) Is experience the only driving factor in choosing a solicitor? Of course not. The idea being that the older a law firm is, the more experien...


Baker Hardman Ltd: So when a firm states you have 'direct access to your solicitor', that's actually a useful thing to note. Our 1to1Legal website never asks you for your personal details and does not sell your information on. So keep aware.. This is an older name so you may wish to bookmark ...


Brian Barr Ltd: Experience is also a massive part of a successful and swift outcome to your case. So while the case list handled by the firm as a whole may be huge, your assigned solicitor may only handle one or two of those areas of law. However, if a firm is also dealing with family law...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: That's why most people turn to the independent comment boards such as Google , Trustpilot or Facebook rather than simply reading the customer testimonials provided by a company. Over the past years the number of property clients of law firms getting scammed has risen drama...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: Here are some snippets: class="infoquote "I am very happy with the outcome" "We are delighted to have received satisfactorily settlements" "I just wanted to say thank you for handling my claim"< div> But typically the hand-picked comments which firms place o...


Cook Law in Wirral: There are other firms with the name "Cook" in them. Each of those has different laws and legal setups. So you may wish to bookmark the site just in case you are coming back later. But they tend not to run online to discuss their criminal charges, will, messy divorce, or ba...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: As for years of experience, there is often a big difference between any firm saying they have "40 years experience" versus "40 years of combined experience" or "40 years of experience within the firm". The firm today is Cullimore Dutton Solicitors and hopefully we'll...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: While most companies list customer testimonials on their websites, our poll a few years back indicated that they were not trusted nearly as much as the comments left on independent boards such as Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook. With so much sales language to wade through, ...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: If they have a valid SRA number (Solicitors Regulation Authority) listed on their website then that should be fine. It is really important to note exactly where you should be going and the official details of the firm you choose because there is so much fraud at the mome...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: Today's article however is on Drummond Miller. 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. But it does mean there are no longer half a dozen known brand name firm's in a gi...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: In fact, the percentage of legal matters being resolved without the client ever having to step foot inside an actual solicitors office is increasing year on year . The official site is currently www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk with www.eatons-solicitors.com redirecting you ther...

EMD Law Solicitors: So what are they saying about this firm on the web? class="infoquote "at the end of the phone most of the time when you need help" "may not be the cheapest solicitors around but you get what you pay for" "explained everything so that we had a good understanding of...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: Unlike divorce, criminal law, or a will - with a property sale, 99% of the time someone is frustrated with how it's going. Every property firm will make a promise like this one from the Eve Lake site above. There are a lot of terms to contend with when searching for help wit...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: class="infoquote "They now bring that successful track record, as well as almost 40 years of experience, to their own practice."< div> This statement is part of a brief history of the setting up of the firm. Many even have the same images of people smiling and ...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: This can be an entire firm that specialises in a certain case type, or a wider practice that has specialists for a few different case types on their staff. The company provides quite a few on their testimonials page: class="infoquote "ability to cut through the predic...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: The main one is www.girlings.com which covers Family Law, Wills, Property, Commercial matters, etc. As mentioned there are two sites. class="infoquote "At Girlings we embrace change and are quick to adapt to meet the needs of our clients."< div> There are four ...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: Also note that the full name of the firm is Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP. It has levelled the playing field so that smaller firms offering great service can't be crushed out of the market by larger, bigger-budgeted firms. class="infoquote "Harrison...


HCR Law Solicitors: As you can see they are generally positive. Many firms offer 'testimonials' on their websites. Because on the site it states their Worcester, Birmingham, Hereford and Ross-on-Wye local offices specialise in this area of personal injury law. But no matter what the size of a...


Heritage Park Family Law: Today we're going to highlight the firm Heritage Park Family Law Ltd. So when you see Heritage Park offering out of hours appointments - that is something helpful other firms may not be offering. This has allowed the number of specialist practices (which before could hav...


Horsley Holdings Ltd: Pay special attention if the firm you're looking into handles property matters because they are often targeting by fraudsters and https: www.ncsc.gov.uk collection phishing-scams" phishing scams< a>. . They also state (at the time of writing): class="infoquote "99...

Law Solicitors: However, there are no 200-year old lawyers out there waiting to take your case. Currently, we are helping clients with their Wills, Probate, Divorce and Conveyancing needs."< div> One of the best independent resources we are always recommending to people is The Law S...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: Their front page was a little more cluttered than we'd usually find on solicitors' websites. The Kee one clearly says a solicitor will call you back. A couple of decades ago, a Family Law specialist practice such as Kee Solicitors would have been incredibly rare...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: You may be curious why we've reviewed the name 'QualitySolicitors' more than once on this site. So 'John Doe Solicitors' becomes 'QualitySolicitors John Doe', for example. To clarify, you could think of the QS branding as more of a 'stamp of approval'? Any firm wishing to be...


Lyons Law: These are absolutely meaningless statements and often tenuously connected. 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. Other variants we tried such as lyonslaw.com also were not for this firm. It's common for...


Mark Croft Motor Offence: There is not going to be some 200+ year old solicitor within the firm monitoring everything. There have also been concerted efforts to keep the amount a solicitor can earn helping these financially vulnerable people to make it almost cost the solicitor money to take some Leg...


McCarthy and Co Solicitors: Make sure the site is HTTPS secure if you are submitting your personal details via the contact form. So always make sure you're on the correct site. class="infoquote "At our last Q9000 quality assurance audit we were rated 99%."< div> They have accreditation f...


SG Murphy & Co Ltd: So how do you tell them apart? Sadly, since the giant push for marketing jargon to make things sound great no matter what, it can be difficult. There is an https: murphysolicitors.co.uk expert-articles " expert articles< a> section with various titles such as 'H...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: Certainly people prefer independent forums over company provided testimonials on their website. Alternate searches such as 'njs law' or even typical mis-spellings such as 'nicholas jones sutton' brought up the correct firm. Which is surely a good type of staff mix at any fir...


Oakwood Property Solicitors: However, you need to be extra careful online these days especially if you are seeking help with a property matter . class="infoquote "Our dedicated team of lawyers are committed in delivering the service you deserve by providing tailored legal solutions with ...


PCS Legal Conveyancing: In the legal industry there is no one main legal body covering everything. Some people https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" have handed their entire house deposit amount< a> over to ...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: They often need the name of the town they are based in as well before they will show extra details. It's possible this could be because the firm is using generic terms in the name - i.e. There has been a rise in the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the ...


Landlord Eviction Solicitor in Southport, Lancs: So what can you look out for to help distinguish between the vast numbers of legal practices out there? How can you find the best balance of options to match your needs? First, note that in the UK there is a difference between a 'lawyer' and a 'solicitor'. 'sarah an...


Solidaire Law Ltd: Above are some snippets from those. When firms had to rely on local word of mouth or distance between a customer and any advert they could place - legal practices would tend to try and take as many different case types as possible to ensure a steady stream of business. ...


Sternberg Reed Solicitors: For example just entering the words sternberg and reed will bring up no reviews. So what are prior customers saying? class="infoquote "couldn't speak highly enough of the service, professionalism and compassion" "got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured" "p...


Thomas & Thomas Solicitors: Thomas & Thomas did not make any such misleading claims as far as we saw on their site. Remember that ampersands can't be used in web addresses so www.thomas&thomassolicitors.co.uk will bring up an error or redirect you elsewhere depending on your browser. No matter...


The Law Partnership Ltd: People have https: www.bbc.co.uk news world-europe-jersey-64624656" handed their entire house deposit< a> into fraudster's bank accounts sometimes simply because they got an official-looking email telling them to change the bank details. Common variants such as www.tlps.c...


TWB Probate Solicitors Ltd: . As you can see from https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 2235 twbprobatesolicitors-limited" the page on this firm< a> - solicitor Howard Brown has been a qualified solicitor since 1984. clients complete a relatively comprehensive questionnaire which is followed ...


UVS Law Ltd: You could end up with a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 50-year established firm, or a 40-year veteran lawyer from a brand new law office. Immigration is also a quickly changing area of law , so whether you choose a specialist firm like UVS Law or a specialist solicitor w...


Walker Foster Ltd: You can do this for any firm registered with the Law Society. That's a big positive in our opinion. They are something to watch for on law firm's websites. Remember, at one point people believed smoking was good for you. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 59...


Waterstone PS: Common sense dictates there will not be a 200-year-old wise old lawyer running the place. We've known several firms (us included) that needed to take a website offline for days or even weeks because of issues with hackers or just Google messing around with the indexing. ...


Wilford Smith: However other companies may use clever wording to try and make their claims seem bigger than they are. Please note the firm is not called 'wilford and smith' and if you are ever dealing with a firm with an 'and' in the middle - you cannot have ampersands in web addresses suc...


Wolf Law Ltd: But has that translated over into positive experiences by clients for WolfLaw? The most common way to check that out tends to be the independent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. Such as this cutting above from their website. Unfortunately Scottish and...


WYM Legal Solicitors: However, when it comes to law firms we always recommend people read the actual reviews for context rather than flicking through only star ratings. But 'leading' is one of those words that doesn't really give you a specific metric you can measure against another firm. So ...
