Amy King Solicitor: However that marketing ploy falls flat quite quickly when you realise there cannot possibly be a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk somewhere. Most importantly you can see qualification dates. Today's article covers an area of legal services there's probabl...
Baker Hardman Ltd: There is a separate website for the Scottish branch at www.scotlandinjurysolicitors.co.uk which uses the branding of Scotland Injury Solicitors as well. A note on navigation as there are variations to bear in mind. Over the past few decades the number of law firms merg...
Brian Barr Ltd: There is only the one office so a search for their name will usually bring up their site, links to regulatory bodies, company reviews, and so on. One of the problems when trying to find a law firm to help with a case is the similarities between each firm's website. Experienc...
Brodies Solicitors LLP: The firm offers legal advice to private and public sector clients both in the UK and internationally in its core business areas of corporate and commercial; energy (both renewables and oil & gas); real estate; litigation and dispute resolution; banking and financial services...

Crockett Solicitors: The number of people in the UK that might qualify and the number of case types it applies to is dwindling. A theme of a caring attitude was most prevalent. While not a 100% perfect way to guarantee experience, you can at least see if the solicitor you're talking to has be...
Defank Solicitors Croydon: But you can get a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law brand, and a 1-year newbie lawyer from a 200-year old law firm. The firm's official site is www.defanksolicitors.com but www.defanksolicitors.co.uk is not owned by them. class="infoquote "With a dedicated ...

Drummond and Miller Solicitors: That's probably why in our poll a few years back, only 9% of people voted that they trusted prior client comments posted by the company on their site.

Large & Gibson Solicitors: Many firms provide client testimonials on their website and Large & Gibson do this as well. So 'John Doe Solicitors' becomes 'QualitySolicitors John Doe', for example.
