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: As you can see, each is still specifically about one particular barrister. If you check out pages on some barristers at Two Harcourt Buildings such as https: www.barstandardsboard.org.uk barristers-register 4BBE91514B136EDB21768133AD6D31CD.html" Paul Cavin< a>, https: w...


A City Law Firm: We've seen a lawyer with a 5 star review for their 'new italian menu' and a 1 star rating for a Criminal Law specialist for refusing to handle someone's divorce. They have more information about their setup and what each award means https: www.legal500.com united-kingdom-s...


Beers Solicitors LLP: Unfortunately that needed to be said because there isn't much negative about Beers LLP for us to focus on. So how can you tell if a firm has a good amount of experience if the founding dates are not a good point of reference? Luckily in England & Wales the Law Soci...


Bellax Solicitors: There were no common themes amongst the few negative reviews. For today's example we'll be using the Bell Lax Solicitor's website. These days however there is a third kind of firm. The English Welsh law society provides a wealth of user-side data including all tradin...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: Any claims they make on their site about experience are certainly validated. One thing to remember though is that when a firm has multiple offices you often have to type in the company name and location to see any reviews. There is also a huge difference between a fir...


Brown & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "If your solicitor hasn't got time for you, it's unlikely that he or she has time for your opponents, their solicitors or others involved in your transaction or business deal."< div> Typically someone with a legal problem will scroll through se...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: For example, if a firm says they have '20 years experience within the firm' or '20 years combined experience' that could mean they have 5 solicitors each with only 4 years experience. Especially when it comes to legal practices that deal with property matters such as buy...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: Like those Law Society logos you see stamped across many solicitor websites. All cards on the table - we like Burton & Co . Burton and Co LLP https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 466124 burton-co-llp" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: Some firms do charge a fee if they win. For anything else you'll probably be under the Lindsays departments. If you are looking for information or reviews about the firmm Google has change a little recently and you may have to enter the location as well as the firm'...


Cook's Solicitors: Fortunately all of Young and Co's offices The Law Society of England & Wales which is an excellent resource with a wealth of user side data . Most solicitors ...

The site is also https secure for submitting contact details via their online form. It shows the firm has staff on boa...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: As mentioned before, having different trading names within one law firm is quite common if the practice wishes to focus and drive more business in a specific type of case. We've already covered two branding options within this law firm's group, but David Stinson & Co is a sl...


Disrepair Claims UK: If you see that sort of post alongside no stated company name, no logo, no web address, and no mention of https: www.fca.org.uk firms claims-management" their regulatory status< a> - then avoid them. If you can't find a local solicitor to take your case directly, then abs...


EDC Lord Solicitors: Make sure you are always on the correct website and never discuss payment details via email. The website also features profiles of the firm's lawyers , with detailed biographies and information about their areas of expertise. The website offers a comprehensive o...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: There were some comments available when we looked: class="infoquote "they have made me and my family very happy" "Outstanding service" "comitment to their clients requirements"< div> But note that when you search for a firm you need to make sure the name i...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: Unfortunately, the Law Society for Scotland's website is nowhere near as good as it's English Welsh counterpart when it comes to user side data. It's certainly something to bear in mind. Frazer Coogans Ltd is also registered to

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: We did notice negative reviews for this company online but they seemed to be the same one copy pasted onto each forum. You could end up with a 1-year qualified newbie lawyer from a 200-year old firm, or a 40-year veteran from a 1-year old newly set up practice. But we have ...


Guardian Law Ltd: To us that indicates the best qualities of a specialist firm in that they genuinely seem to care about businesses by trying to get as much useful advice out there. We've seen a law practice praised for its 'tasty new menu' and a divorce specialist given a zero-star r...

Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: So the fact Backhouse have only mentioned this statement tucked away on a separate section of the site is something we literally nod our heads in approval at. Without devaluing their acheivement, we should point out why this is unusual. would make researching and choosing ...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: provide you with expert legal advice ... Typically we refer, like most consumers, to the third party boards such as Google, Yelp, Yell, Trustpilot, etc. A quick note on navigation. A chambers is more like a collective of individuals so whilst there will be a main office...


JPS Walker Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. These can be city, county, or country based. But when it comes to reviews people tend to prefer the public comment forums such as Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, Yelp, etc. More and more people are becoming aware of just how much of a differe...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: (We're based in Peterhead so, if anything, we should be bias the other way on this.) Rather than the Law Society having individual pages on each firm containing a wealth of information about each, there is simply https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=lefevres&Po...


LS Legal Solicitors: But we were impressed by the fact that as they've grown they seem to have limited that growth only to areas of law where they could provide similar focused expertise. We did notice much of the praise related to Immigration matters which seems to be a root specialty of the ...


Mac Jones Solicitors: The things we use to evaluate a firm are probably things most potential clients do as well. There aren't always plentiful reviews about companies that work in the legal industry, but you should never take a lack of reviews as meaning anything negative. If you're not sure, ...


MJV Law Solicitors: The first is simple. As Natalie isn't mentioned on the law practice's site or on the Law Society website at the time of writing this, we hope the firm at least noticed that fact. We've also seen some sites refer to the firm as MJV & Co Solicitors. The question of...


Fentimans My Law Matters: Of course, even when firms do this they typically only copy the positive reviews to paste on their own website. We were recently asked whether it's common for law firms to create a new trading name because their existing name has a bad reputation. So what are third party boa...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: Here you can get clear answers about the experience levels of a firm AND their specialist case types. 'nicholson jones sutton solicitors macclesfield'. Seasoned heads but with fresh eyes , so to speak. But when it comes to law firms at least, you should never rely on those ...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: A solicitor that helps you with your immigration application may still have to hire a barrister when it comes to fighting the matter further. The main problem in such situations is the possibility of https: www.ncsc.gov.uk information report-suspicious-emails" phishing sc...


LRose Law Ltd: Many firms use the same sales language, offer similar services, make similar promises, and even use similar images on their websites of people looking sternly at pieces of paper or shaking hands smiling. Only actual solicitors will be regulated by the SRA so if a firm does n...


RM Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are a firm of Solicitors who specialise in civil litigation. However we've been reviewing law firms and trawling through dozens of such websites daily for over twenty years now . litigation) follow the same sorts of procedures and have similar iss...


Simper Law: Tech companies, restaurants, social media providers, and so on are always on the look out for the next new thing. At Simper Law they have legal professionals from each of the last three decades available. Especially the review we saw where a person looking to divorce was mad...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: Since Covid hit we've seen a lot of law firms go under and a new wave of single proprietor practices has started pushing across the UK. We've seen law firms with 5 star reviews for their food and 1 star reviews for the bad haircut they got. Sadly establishment dates are one ...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: You have to search for your specific local office to see reviews about it only. The second impressive thing we'd point out is the firm's opening hours. Whilst there will be some variations, most of the Stowe solicitor office locations we checked were open until 7pm ea...


Summerfield Browne: This has the obviously knock on effect: class="infoquote "... Summerfield Browne are therefore a prime match of what we need on our own law network. How do you check that? The best resource we've found so far online is the website for The Law Society of England & Wa...


Swain and Co Solicitors: They provide a wealth of user side data including all alternate trading names, other office locations, languages spoken at the firm, case types covered, and qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. So take it from us that it's statements like the above about an...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: With them only handling immigration matters it's also safe to assume they will be more up to date than a solicitor trying to handle a dozen different case types at once. We don't often give out specific advice in these articles. The absence of negative information isn'...


The Lady Barrister: Even reviews are hard to come by which we'll cover in a moment. The example for today is a barrister called Stephanie Heijdra. This is even more difficult for people working under their own name instead of a chambers because Google wants to match company names and loc...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: Serving The Local & National Community Since 1964"< div> If you've already scoured through dozens of legal company websites today then you'll probably have seen several of them claiming almost ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1771'. Also be aware that if a...


The Law Partnership Ltd: In this article we're going to share a few tips on how we check up on firms we're thinking of adding. class="infoquote "We strive to resolve legal matters in a non-confrontational way – we prefer to resolve disputes outside of the courts through mediation ...

Wilford Smith: So they could have 10x staff members with only 4 years of experience each. class="infoquote "always on the end of the phone email when I needed to speak" "they kept me informed throughout, it was a very frustrating process" "helped make the experience as smoot...


Ullah Law Associates: ULA list positive quotes from peers on their site, which is something we would consider to be much better than customer testimonials. Some firms post testimonials on their sites, but according to our poll last year only 8% of you trust company provided testimonials. Thank...


WH Law Ltd: The number of reviews that are for the completely wrong firm (which we'll cover in an moment) are just ridiculous. The law and requirements are complex and they are always changing."< div> This second quote from the firm's own website highlights why some areas of law r...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: So what can? class="infoquote "When reviewing the performance of a firm or department we use various criteria; our focus is on the bench strength of the team"< div> That quote is from the website of https: www.legal500.com " The Legal 500< a> who review ten...

Young & Co Solicitors: However this is still a very confident move because linking through to third party sites for people to view comments about your firm has quite an element of risk.
