A City Law Firm: Sometimes even for big brands we've had to type in the location of the head office to get the correct reviews to show up. We strive for innovation and have a proven track record of client satisfaction that stems from a personal approach ..."< div> The staff page of A C...

Frazer Coogans Solicitors: It's one of those marketing jargon phrases that sounds great but essentially could be said by any firm.

MJV Law Solicitors: But if it's 10x staff members with an average of only 5 years' experience - we think that's quite a different story to what is being implied. We've also seen some sites refer to the firm as MJV & Co Solicitors. Negative ratings aren't always deserved. A few tips on ind...
