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. Thankfully the legal industry is modernising and progress is speeding up in some areas. As you can see, each is still specifically about one particular barrister. So whilst The Direct Access scheme is a major, massive, and immensely helpful sha...


A City Law Firm: But they certainly sound as if they take their role in consumer information seriously. So if you're having trouble finding them bear that in mind. 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 la...


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: Because if you see a rival firm with only 5 reviews that's actually 'normal'. class="infoquote "Visiting a solicitor can be a daunting experience, particularly if you’ve never done it before. A decent mix of seasoned professionals with young blood which you'd hope...


Beers Solicitors LLP: The Law Society database also lets you see if a firm really does 'specialise' in your case type. A lot of comments about friendliness and speed. If there are several negative comments related to being uncontactable - that's a good thing to note. We would really recomme...


Bellax Solicitors: Despite this, there are a handful of things we recommend you definitely checklist for each and every firm you are considering using. This is important because if you are swayed by either the first or last of those statements - you could end up with a 1 year qualif...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: There is also a huge difference between a firm that claims to have 40 years of experience and 40 years of experience 'within the firm' or 40 years of 'combined experience'. Not least so because it means they are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales whi...


Brown & Co Solicitors: This is a hugely important thing to remember because the firm handles conveyancing property matters which have been https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1511097 property-warning-home-buyers-scam-conveyancing-fraud" targeted worldwide by scammers< a> due t...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: But according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you put any stock in company provided reviews. Also while the firm's branding uses an ampersand, such characters https: uniregistry.com blog post the-symbols-of-brand-domain-confusion" don't exist< a> in web addresses ...

Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: For example, this snippet from their website: class="infoquote "Specialist debt recovery, litigation, and Insolvency lawyers since 2010"< div> In the legal industry a founding date of 2010 may sound almost brand new against the multitude of law firms claiming an...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: That's probably why less than 8% of you indicated you trusted company testimonials during our poll last year. QualitySolicitors firms are independent law firms that share the aim of providing clients the highest standards of legal expertise combined with exceptional customer...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: 'calio claims glasgow', which might show up different reviews than 'calio claims edinburgh'. But on the Law Society of Scotland's website the https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=lindsays&Postcode=&type=firm" search function is very limited< a> and doesn't alw...


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. There are other law firms with 'cook' in them such as Cooks Lawyers and Mark Cook solicitors with similarly matching domai...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: The main difference between firms on the matter of fees is how they reclaim their own costs should the case win or lose. Be aware that ampersands ('&') can't be part of a web address so something like www.davidstinson&co.co.uk would not exist. For a name that's been around...


Disrepair Claims UK: Most of the time unregulated claims resellers hide out on social media sites like Facebook. We've talked a lot before about 'specialist' law firms. for damaged belongings, such as clothes and electrical equipment ... Unless the law firm you're looking at states both on ...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: class="infoquote "whilst your day to day dealings may be with your local branch, your case or transaction will be supervised by one of our solicitors who is an expert in that particular area of the law"< div> . The law is constantly changing , but law firms themselv...


EDC Lord Solicitors: The official site uses only the edclord part which is important to note because the firm handles property matters. class="infoquote "EDC Lord takes its name from our founder Edwin David Charles Lord who began his legal practice in 1919"< div> First and foremos...


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: Sometimes even DURING the house purchase as if it will somehow hurry their solicitor up. class="infoquote "Frazer Coogans Solicitors was originally established in Ayr in 1985."< div> If you've read any of our other articles, you'll probably have seen at least one ...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: Not everyone with lots of valuable assets likes to burn money, despite how fashionable doing so seems to have become in this age of young youtubers getting rich and famous quick. While they are all clearly positive, they are also very few in number. We also incl...


Guardian Law Ltd: Especially those with multiple offices. This is all very important to consider though because there are a lot of scams targeting clients of lawyers these days. Almost obsessed. class="infoquote "our specialist employment lawyers can advise and represent you"<...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: On some occasions this can mean you're paying two firms for the job one could do. For the case types they handle this isn't too much a concern. Hill House Chambers have been recommended across our network for some time now so, as we do with many firms, we'd like to give a fe...


JPS Walker Solicitors: The difference is that a solicitor may take a cut of your compensation under a no win, no fee guarantee. The official website is currently www.jpswalker.co.uk but www.jpswalker.com does not redirect there. However we've recently discovered that case studies on a law fi...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: However they claim decades of experience. For example, Lefevres are listed in the Legal Aid board database. class="infoquote "Extensive experience on your side. The second means there are no costs to you at all throughout the entire case, win or lose. This is usu...


LS Legal Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our objective is to provide high quality legal advice through a professionally managed legal practice"< div> Although LS Legal displays several statements about handling a 'wide range' of cases, if you look closer you'll see many areas of law ...


Mac Jones Solicitors: If you check the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 455061 mackenzie-jones-solicitors-limited" pages on this firm< a> you'll be shown all office addresses, case types handled, alternative contact details, and most importantly - the specialties and ye...


MJV Law Solicitors: It dawned on us straight off the bat with this statement on the front page of the firm's website: class="infoquote "MJV Co is a firm of Blackpool Solicitors working across the Fylde Coast, including Lytham, Cleveleys, Bispham, Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood who are ow...


Fentimans My Law Matters: Because whilst many negative comments can be totally unhelpful (e.g. class="infoquote "we always strive to maintain consistently high standards throughout our work and aim to provide the best legal advice available."< div> . But there are no negative implications we ...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: So when we write something positive, we're just being positive. Please note that Google has been making changes to local review searches lately, so you may need to put the full name of a firm AND it's city in order to get the correct reviews to come up - i.e. If a firm say...

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: The largest conveyancing firm in England last year had a Google review star rating in the 3s and some of the most praised conveyancing companies we've worked with have been plagued for simply doing a good job for their own client. class="infoquote "Every day we chang...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: Right now the largest scam by far plaguing the legal industry is house deposit fraud. The main problem in such situations is the possibility of https: www.ncsc.gov.uk information report-suspicious-emails" phishing scams< a>. The biggest difference being that these a...


LRose Law Ltd: Employment Law ... Many companies have created Testimonial pages on their website. Only actual solicitors will be regulated by the SRA so if a firm does not have a statement such as this one on their website then you need to check further as to whether they are a genuine law...


Simper Law: class="infoquote "outstanding, kind and compassionate" "I received frequent updates and quick responses to questions" "got to the heart of the issue and were able to resolve it swiftly and effectively" "communication was dealt with promptly and I was gi...


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: But more importantly there are details about the staff including their speciality areas of law and the number of years they've been practising. The second impressive thing we'd point out is the firm's opening hours. The official firm name actually does have those gen...


Summerfield Browne: We've been hoping that for many years and it's getting there . The public reviews themselves are sometimes not very helpful either. Summerfield Browne are therefore a prime match of what we need on our own law network. Most of the variants we tried brought up the co...


Swain and Co Solicitors: Quite often when a firm merges with another they will either merge the names too or simply drop one to move forward with the most recognisable strong branding out of the two. Now we come to a firm with several separate offices but different names for some of them. We c...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: So how do Thaxted fare on these independent forums? class="infoquote "very thorough and knowledgeable, and gave me great advice on my case which is quite complicated" "clear explanations and quick turnaround" "She helped me to prepare a new application and sub...


The Lady Barrister: We try to make sure you know about the different types of legal help you can get in your area including the typical high street solicitor but also things like will writers and accountants that can sometimes help with legal issues at a fraction of the cost. As you may have g...

The Law Partnership Ltd: The best and most popular way to check up on this kind of statement on a law firm's website is through public reviews. It may therefore be an idea to bookmark the correct site if you plan on coming back. We did an entire article on Conveyancing reviews because the m...


WH Law Ltd: The home office granted the application." "I am flying to UK on 1st Feb to see my children after a gap of 3 years!" "Can't describe how grateful I am for all his help in making my application for a Spouse Visa successful."< div> These snippets are typical of the ...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: Wildcat Law are listed in The Legal 500 which is a very positive independent review of their services. Whilst many firms claim huge histories with tag lines such as 'established in 1881', the founding date of a firm is actually pretty meaningless if they assign a 1-y...


Wilford Smith: Which makes these statements almost useless for a consumer trying to tell the firms apart. Also if you see the name WS Strategic Ltd, that is the official name of the firm listed with Companies House. While these are obviously good things to describe your firm, there is no-o...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: 'we are unapproachable, confusing, and slow'. Whilst many firms, including Woodstock Legal, have testimonials on their websites - they majority of people tend to ignore them. There was also only one similarly named firm of Woodstock Solicitors. So, do the independent revi...


Young & Co Solicitors: The firm doesn't list testimonials on their website, but that's fine. We have branch offices in Newcastle-under-Lyme (trading as Cooks Solicitors) and in Aylesford, Kent (trading as David Stinson & Co)."< div> A quick note on navigation as you may have noticed there are...
