Bridge McFarland Solicitors: Photos of people in suits smiling and shaking hands with bits of paper in their hands are very nice, but they don't help you decide one firm from the other.

Cook's Solicitors: Whilst many firms provide testimonials on their websites, these are not normally given much attention. That's why there is only a small "Y" in the corner of the Cooks Solicitor logo rather than changing the name completely. Then their client goes on the web to complain about...
Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our team are focused on having a positive impact on our clients' lives ... If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591481 cullimore-dutton-solicitors-limited?Solicitors=True" check out the page< a> for Cullimore & D...

There are many advantages to using alternatives such as Direct Access barristers which can ...
Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: So don't dismiss such offers lightly. While people are comfortable going online to say whether they like a pizza restaurant or not - they are less inclined to publicly discuss their bankruptcy proceeding, messy divorce, or criminal charges. class="infoquote "Our te...
Guardian Law Ltd: That's a good four decades of combined experience between them. class="infoquote "our specialist employment lawyers can advise and represent you"< div> Today's article is on Guardian Law, an Employment Law specialist based in Nottingham working on the busine...
Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: A decent mix of seasoned professionals with young blood which you'd hope to see in any professional services firm. People have handed over tens of thousands in home deposits to fraudulent bank accounts sometimes based on nothing more than an official-looking email stating ...
Hill House Chambers Barristers:
A quick note on navigation. Biggest things to watch for are emails about money, payments, or bank details as that should never happen . We ran a poll a few years back and the number of people that trusted company provided customer testimonials wasn't even in the double...
JPS Walker Solicitors: But coming back to the original statement we're continuing to expand on:
class="infoquote "offering an effective and first class no win no fee service"< div>

Lefevres Scotland Ltd:
For example, Lefevres are listed in the Legal Aid board database. It's still very much a specialty though.
You can be assigned a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. However they claim decades of experience. Since the 90's the government has made ...
LS Legal Solicitors:
LS Legal is an interesting case study and a helpful way to explain how law firms can be set up these days. Unlike it's Scottish and Irish counterparts, they provide a wealth of consumer information such as alternate contact details, number of qualified staff, languages...
Mac Jones Solicitors: Even better: get an actual solicitor with both.

Fentimans My Law Matters: But there are no negative implications we know of for firms having different brandings. This can sometimes cause search issues but the variants we tried such as 'my legal matters' still brought up the correct firm . But how old a firm's branding is quite meaningless if a 20...
Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: Probably around 90% of the articles on this site are about firm's who are not current advertisers or paying us anything. At the moment there are not too many scams involved the case types NJS focus on - i.e.

RM Solicitors: So if a legal service provider has few or even zero reviews, don't take it as a negative sign . Currently neither www.rmsolicitors.co.uk or www.reynoldsmacdonald.co.uk seems to be owned by the firm. These have become heavy targets for scammers who https: www.techadvisor.c...
Simper Law: Kim Simper comes up as having qualified as a solicitor in 1992, with Sally Riches qualifying in 2001, and Victoria Rose-Smart in 2016. The most common error we spotted was people searching for 'simple law ltd' and related variants. For some reason, thousands of people have s...
Smith & Graham Solicitors: Sadly establishment dates are one of those marketing things companies with less-than-good-intentions misuse all the time. We've seen companies claim 150-year origins simply for moving into the old premises of a much older firm. Make sure you're on the correct site and don't...

Thaxted Legal Immigration: etc. We've seen law firms with great ratings for their new restaurant menu and negative comments about their parking machines.

The Legal Practice Solicitors: You can end up with a 1-year-qualified lawyer from a 300-year-old brand name the same as you can end up with a 40-year-experienced lawyer from a 2-year-old firm. We therefore highly recommend that you bookmark the correct site if you plan on coming back. So again, the fact...
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. It's a difficult thing to judge. If we https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation peop...
Wilford Smith: Or more precisely, their clients have. They are a good example to use in order to provide insights and help into ways people can research law firms and ensure they get one that matches what they are looking for. We think it's quite a pointless claim which Wilford Smith and...
Ullah Law Associates: Some firms post testimonials on their sites, but according to our poll last year only 8% of you trust company provided testimonials. all came up with the same site. The main concept that stood out to us was that the firm certainly lives up to it's claims about not shying aw...
WH Law Ltd: It's a far better provided resource than its counterparts in other parts of the UK, unfortunately. There are firms out there that say 'we specialise in xyz' and list a massive number of areas of law. (And that's tough to say living in one of them!)
class="infoquote "W...
Wildcat Law Solicitors: So such statements don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. But a quick note on navigation. If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today you'll probably have noticed a lot use the same sort of 'sales language'. The most important part in o...
Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: Having worked in the legal industry for over 20 years we're still surprised to come across some firms that we'd not heard of before. Clearly we ended up with a positive impression of their law practice otherwise we would not have added them to our network. However on thi...
Young & Co Solicitors:
Certainly we may sound very 'pro' Young & Co Solicitors with this articles. At the time we checked, they were clickable images rather than live counters - so were slightly off the actual average ratings on each. That's because practically every house purchase sale in En...
