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: Not the chambers as a whole. A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible representation. So what sentences should you watch out for to help you choose? class="infoquote "Our diverse and talented set of barristers are experienced in b...
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. A City Law Firm has been on our network for a while now and has many aspects about it you may have come across in your search for leg...
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. Sadly https: www.lawgazette.co.uk ...
Bellax Solicitors: Then the third is simply them adding up the years of experience of all staff members together. The firm's name is quite unique so even common variants such as 'bellax solicitors' brings up the correct firm. The problem though, is that not all firms are talking about the sam...
Bridge McFarland Solicitors: There are many resources available to you though and many things you might not have considered when checking a legal professional's website. The other two mean they've simply added up the years of all the staff (e.g. has held the Law Society’s quality standard accred...
Brown & Co Solicitors: Make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss bank details or payments by email. This snippet from the Brown & Co website is far more confrontational about the bad alternatives available and not the typical vague sales pitch. Obviously we have checked o...
Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: The page for Buchanan & Co Solicitors shows solicitors Timothy Barlow as having qualified in 1989 and Julia Gibbons in 2001. class="infoquote "We're a family run practice with more than 25 years of experience"< div> This is a much more helpful type of c...
Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: All of which seems grossly unfair. That's totally up to each individual to decide after careful research and having spoken to someone at the firm about the case. But they are listed across the internet sometimes with that domain name and with email addresses using it. The ...
Calio Claims by Lindsays: The office details for each location are the same. So what can you use? Like most companies, Calio Claims provides client testamonials on their website. Here are some snippets: class="infoquote "I am very happy with the outcome" "We are delighted to have rece...
Cook's Solicitors: It also means you've got the best of both worlds - i.e. That's why there is only a small "Y" in the corner of the Cooks Solicitor logo rather than changing the name completely. It can therefore be a good idea to bookmark the site or use a search function instead just in ca...
Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591481 cullimore-dutton-solicitors-limited?Solicitors=True" check out the page< a> for Cullimore & Dutton's staff for example you'll see a full list with clickable names for further information on eac...

Foster & Coleman Solicitors: There are several similarly named firms such as 'foster & foster' and 'foster law' that popped up while we were searching. This is simply not true any more. It's common for solicitors to make huge claims about ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1881' or ev...
Frazer Coogans Solicitors: Watch out for Google ads though as some keyword matching ads did pop up for us on some of the mis-spellings. But enough about what we think, what are previous clients saying about the firm? class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans always gave us accurate, informative and hel...
Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: 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. However we see such claims as basic marketing ploys. If you need to c...
Guardian Law Ltd: Plus this would also indicate they stay very much up to date with the huge number of changes constantly affecting businesses in the UK and internationally. We've seen a law practice praised for its 'tasty new menu' and a divorce specialist given a zero-star rating for refusi...
Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: That's a lot of space to have to fill with words. No firm will ever claim to be antiquated, backward thinking, with no expertise and offering low levels of service. This is because of the huge number of scams currently out there. So just bear this in mind when checking up o...
Hill House Chambers Barristers: As Hill House Chambers puts it:
class="infoquote "The Direct Access (or Public Access) scheme allows members of the public to instruct an authorised barrister directly ... Typically we refer, like most consumers, to the third party boards such as Google, Yelp, Yell, Tr...
JPS Walker Solicitors: Again, a very rough example but to make a geniune point. Especially when you consider no firm is going to claim the opposite (i.e. But coming back to the original statement we're continuing to expand on:

LS Legal Solicitors: For example, many people seek specialist firms for cases such as Motoring Offences, Divorce, and Conveyancing in the hope that the focused attention and specific experience will provide a better outcome in a swifter time. That's the difference to watch for. That's a consid...
Mac Jones Solicitors: For example:
class="infoquote "provide expert timely advice and communicate in a way that is clear and responsive to your requirements"< div>
Again, no law firm is going to claim the opposite. People simply aren't as quick to discuss their divorce, criminal defe...
MJV Law Solicitors: Alan Vincent shows a qualification date in 1978 with the son, Michael Vincent, qualifying in 2011. 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. In 20+ years we've...
Fentimans My Law Matters: So when you see statements like this:

LRose Law Ltd: Housing Disrepair & Other Litigation"< div>
Statements like these on various law firm's websites can be confusing because it doesn't seem to equate that you can be a 'specialist' of a such a long list of anything.
This isn't too much of a concern though as Litig...

A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'.
Smith & Graham however seem to fit neither of these descriptions and look ...
Stowe Family Law Solicitors: The reviews are mainly positive from what we saw with several comments about fair pricing and time effort put in.

The Legal Practice Solicitors:
This is because most people buying selling a house will always feel that the process should have gone much, much faster and been far, far less complicated. One of the largest conveyancing firms in the UK has a star rating of https: www.google.co.uk search?q=my+home+m...
The Law Partnership Ltd: We do not add every single firm out there into a database for you to flick through. Hopefully if you've been on our site for even a short while it should be clear we are not a 'law firm directory'. That's because there are problems and delays in a house transaction 99.9999% ...
Wilford Smith: First, a quote from their website:

Wildcat Law Solicitors: For the entirety of the 20th century people had to take their case to a solicitor who would then hire a barrister to represent the matter in court (if it came to that). The combination of the two avenues gives a much wider scope to potentially help clients faster and at a lo...
Woodstock Legal Services Ltd:
So when we came across Woodstock Legal Services it was a pleasant surprise to discover their setup, staff, and backgrounds could match some of the larger brandings we work with (and many we don't). With three words 'woodstock', 'legal' and 'services' there an many vari...
Young & Co Solicitors: So because Young and Co deal with conveyancing, it is hugely important to make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. The https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 563652 young-and-co-solicitors-limited" pages about this...
