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: No firm is going to claim it is archaic, inefficient, and unfriendly. Clarity for the public should be just as important to the Bar Standards Council but, at the moment at least, it does not seem to be. Not least because they provide very little data on firms and a search fu...


A City Law Firm: Don't make assumptions because for all you know it may be an award for best logo design and nothing to do with their actual law experience. Their organisation provides an excellent range of user side data which is sadly not mirrored by their Scottish or Irish counterparts. I...


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Our experienced team offer expert help and advice to companies and individuals across Essex, London and surrounding areas, in all aspects of law."< div> We've long praised The Law Society of England & Wales for their user side provided data w...


Beers Solicitors LLP: 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 Society has an excellent website with loads of good user-side data available. Very positive with many of them quot...


Bellax Solicitors: class="infoquote "With our experience of acting for claimants and defendants we can spot potential problems early"< div> A quick note on navigation. class="infoquote "Are Drunken Contracts Binding?"< div> They have a real news section. We've seen a so...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: The most common place people go to when looking up any firm is a search for reviews. Just typing 'bridge mcfarland' currently shows nothing on Google, you have to type in the full 'bridge mcfarland llp lincoln' or whatever office is nearest you. That's a good mix of seasone...


Brown & Co Solicitors: A quick note on navigation due to the number of firms out there with 'brown' in the name. Here are some of the resources we use that you might not have known about or things to watch for you might not have thought about. class="infoquote "Our solicitors have t...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: If you've been through a few other articles or pages of this site you may have noticed that 1to1Legal tries to offer a range of service providers with flexible search options - rather than cramming 100+ of the same type of firm into a directory. (Quite often not even from th...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: And Burton & Co became QualitySolicitors 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 is great because it is by far the best. QualitySolicitors firms are in...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: For legal help south of the border we always recommend people check out The Law Society of England & Wales' website to get a wealth of background information. class="infoquote "All of the solicitors and support staff at Calio Claims are personal injury experts."< di...


Cook's Solicitors: Such as the firm that claimed a '150 year history' in an area simply because they moved into the building an older legal practice originally owned. For example those firms stating 'founded in 1881' or even older dates. As in the previous article, Cooks Solicitors are also a...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: It shows the firm has staff on board from across 5 decades including Catherine Hyatt who qualified in 1987, Susan Alexander in 1994, Philip Appleby in 2009, Sarah Butt in 2019, right up to their newest member in 2021. Sadly due to the volatile nature of property buying and s...

The Law Partnership Ltd: That's because it is. Also, not all of them state it clearly. 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. That means you can look up...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: The official name is David Stinson & Co but variant searches such as "david stinson solicitors" or "david stinsons kent" all brought up the correct firm. class="infoquote "David Stinson & Co specialise in personal injury claims for clients across the Kent area."< div>...


Disrepair Claims UK: The main aim (we would hope) of housing claims is to get your living conditions improved. There are several good reasons for this, but the main one being that the majority of them simply take your details and sell them on to the highest bidder. They will put out spammy posts...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: So any conveyancer with a high star rating is a rarity. Scottish residents however have the Law Society of Scotland website which is slightly better than it was a few years back, but still provides only basic information that doesn't seem to help you learn more than you did...


EDC Lord Solicitors: 'edc lord and co solicitors southall'. Their website, www.edclord.co.uk, is an excellent representation of the firm's commitment to professionalism, expertise, and customer service. EDC Lord & Co Solicitors is a UK law firm that provides a variety of legal services to client...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: They have a huge amount of user side data about the firms and people registered with them. The idea being that the older the firm, the more established and experienced. This is simply not true any more. The official website for this firm is www.fosterandcoleman.com a...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: For example on the one of their most recently qualified members is Anoop who started with the firm back in 2013 as a legal assistant. He went on to do a law degree whilst working there, did hi...


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. However we see such claims as basic marketing ploys. For example, this snippet from their website: class="infoquote "Specialist debt recovery, litig...

Guardian Law Ltd: class="infoquote "We offer fixed, retained or ad-hoc fees, depending on your requirements"< div> . It raises the point that if every firm says they are 'experienced' (and no firm would admit to being 'inexperienced') then how can you know which one is better than t...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: A chambers is more like a collective of individuals so whilst there will be a main office monitoring everything, you will typically be much more involved with the person handling your case. class="infoquote "Are you a solicitor looking for a barrister to instruct, o...


JPS Walker Solicitors: But sometimes the clues are in what initially might seem common, almost mundane statements. These can be city, county, or country based. Especially when you consider no firm is going to claim the opposite (i.e. If you check out the page for JPS Walker, you'll see the l...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: (Their other locations being Glasgow and Edinburgh.) According to the Law Society of Scotland they are the same firm but for some reason the main Lefevres' law site states the Aberdeen office is at 70 Carden Place whilst everywhere else lists it as 40 Carden Place. But the l...


LS Legal Solicitors: It can get very confusing when trying to find a solicitor for your case. For example managing director Liliya Scott qualified in 2007, Jasmin Bugg in 2018, Lubov Galyarnyk in 2006, right up to Olena Lux who joined the ranks of lawyers in 2022. Unfortunately there have been t...


Mac Jones Solicitors: 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 today, you'll probably have noticed many of them have phrases like this which sound good but don't necessarily help yo...


MJV Law Solicitors: If that's 2x solicitors with 25 years' experience = still pretty good and making sense. It wasn't until we researched MJV Solicitors that we realised there was a once-hugely-popular phrase now seemingly missing from the pages of most current law firm websites. Such as: ...


Fentimans My Law Matters: It's certainly something to bear in mind. In fact, that's something we always recommend when it comes to law firms. They provide all alternate trading names, other office locations, languages spoken, case types handled, and the qualification dates of each solicitor wit...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: But, it could also mean 10 members of staff with just 6 years work under their belt. class="infoquote "We will always be honest about whether we can help you, what you can expect from us, and what it will cost."< div>. Currently www.njslaw.com takes you to a US firm a...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: There are several independent review boards online such as https: www.google.com search?q=onelaw+chambers&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=OneLaw+Chambers&aqs=chrome.0.0i355i512j46i175i199i512j0i22i30j69i60l2.900j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x487605d7d69d853f:0x1ba40eec...


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. One last point: class="infoquote "Get in touch now For a free, n...


RM Solicitors: So take it from us, the majority of those 200-year-plus establishment claims are tenuous at best and often just plain misleading. A 1-year-old firm might have several 40-year veterans on staff . Reynolds Macdonald are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which...


Simper Law: For some reason though, the legal industry still has the complete opposite mentality. Kim Simper comes up as having qualified as a solicitor in 1992, with Sally Riches qualifying in 2001, and Victoria Rose-Smart in 2016. That means the official website matches using www.simp...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: class="infoquote "Established in 1888, Smith and Graham Solicitors has continued to expand into one of the leading firms in the North East of England"< div> While that establishment date looks impressive, it is one of the last things we take into consideration w...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: Many firms will have testimonials on their website, but as they tend to be only the best possible comments - people want to find those disgruntled customers to see if there are any common themes. At the time of writing the full list of office locations listed on the...


Summerfield Browne: class="infoquote "Where possible we try to agree fixed or capped fees. We've been hoping that for many years and it's getting there . Most firms will say they are modern with a unique setup. If you check the information https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk or...


Swain and Co Solicitors: For example, if you saw a negative 1-star review for Burger King complaining that they don't serve pizza - you would think the reviewer was nuts. For example in Havant (near Portsmouth) they list a range of staff including Samantha Lee who qualified as a solicitor in 1...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: But gut choices don't always have to be without a solid foundation . class="infoquote "Immigration is our business but we strive to provide our services with integrity and care, and we build our professional relationships with clients and business partners based on t...


The Lady Barrister: That's because reviews left underneath the chamber's name will be about one specific lawyer within it. studied for a Law Degree at the University of Liverpool and was awarded her LLB (Hons), enabling her to start her bar professional training course (BPTC) whilst simultaneou...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: The official website is www.thelegalpractice.co.uk but again, www.thelegalpractice.com is owned by a different firm. Obviously we think highly of the firm because we've added them to our database of searchable legal professionals. So how do TLP fare on the inde...


WH Law Ltd: Sometimes based on nothing more than a single official-looking email saying to do so. A quick note on navigation should be made though because when looking up reviews on the public forums we did end up on the wrong pages sometimes. The home office granted the application." ...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: outdated, impractical, unfriendly, unprofessional, and inexperienced. However if you think about it no firm is ever going to claim to be the opposite - i.e. The firms branding is quite unique so even error searches we tried such as 'wildcat legal' brought up the correct firm...


Wilford Smith: Todays article focuses on Wilford Smith solicitors. For example: one of the largest Conveyancing firms in the UK (My Home Move) have a current rating of 3.1 stars out of 500+ reviews on Google. So for Wilford Smith to have such a high positive profile on review sites is ver...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: 'we are unapproachable, confusing, and slow'. class="infoquote "You will find us approachable, straight-forward and responsive."< div> Unfortunately there is often a lot of sales-pitchy language on any law firm's website. So when we came across Woodstock Leg...


Young & Co Solicitors: Most importantly, it does not pay out an up to date payment rate for solicitors. Each branding has it's own local office and website too. That's because practically every house purchase sale in England and Wales takes longer and is more complicated than the buyer seller want...
