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:

ABS Lawyers Ltd: Luckily there are quite a few good resources to find some deeper and more insightful information about firms that can help you make a decision about which practice or person to use. Sometimes based on just a couple of official looking emails telling them to suddenly switch...


Aconveyancing Ltd: They also handle Remortgages, Transfer of Equity, Lease Extensions, Equity Releases and Landlord Tenant matters. So what can you use to judge the experience and merits of the hundreds of conveyancing firms available? class="infoquote "We are a specialist conveyancing...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: The official site we link to above is www.antonyhodari.co.uk but at the moment www.antonyhodari.com doesn't redirect there. There are several others within that range creating a good mix of seasoned experts partnered with fresh legs. One we saw last week was particularly o...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: No, really. There isn't even a stand alone page of information for most Scottish law firms on the Law Society site. class="infoquote "took the time to talk me through all the detail and legal jargon" "always gave me great advice when needing guidance on employme...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: Much more than a firm that only covers a handful of such cases each month as part of their general commercial legal work. Other benefits of working in such a specific section of law include building up a huge amount connections and expertise with the various organisat...


Bilkus and Boyle: We always commend The Law Society of England & Wales for their excellent website providing a wealth of user-side data to potential clients. This could be a national one, county based, or city wide for larger population cities. This is important because the firm dea...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: So never underestimate the value of free consultation statements on a solicitor's site. class="infoquote "Your case will be handled personally by a Partner from start to finish with expert advice provided."< div> Clients always want this sort of attention from...


Catteralls in Wakefield: For example, one firm we've written about previously claims a 150-year-history in the area simply because they moved into a building that was occupied by a much older firm initially. The official site we link to above is www.catteralls.co.uk but note that www.catteralls.com ...


Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: But it's really, really not. (See what we mean?) Website content is often full of such terms that sound good but are not particularly helpful such as 'modern', 'friendly', or 'speedy'. We therefore searched the various publications to check up on their claim. There's even a...


Deo Volente Legal: People have https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-deposit " handed over millions to fraudsters< a> sometimes on the basis of just a few official looking emails. As also mentioned above, the firm's brandin...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: Don't ever discuss payments or bank details via email is therefore one good rule to keep to.. Although the branding name used is quite unique and the possible spelling typos not likely to be too multitudinous. That's not something we are so keen on. class="infoquote "...

Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: Most scammers target law firm clients that will be making a payment to their solicitor. The first means no fees if your case loses. It means that law firm actually sought out the team at McKie to represent their client for the best success of the case. It's very commo...


Special Education Needs Lawyer: For example: class="infoquote • "Making formal written representations to persuade a Local Authority to carry out an assessment" • "Challenging a refusal to assess before the Special Educational Needs Tribunal" • "Reviewing a draft Education Health a...


Fair Result Divorce: Not every case requires a lengthy court process. However no-one seemed willing ... We did ask around our own office if anyone might want to get a divorce in order to test out this firm's claims. But you never know what fraudsters are going to think up next though so just...


Fultons Estate Agents: There were the expected negative reviews though which did tend to follow the common pattern for negative comments of conveyancing firms - e.g. As that information isn't readily available in Scotland (yet) we have to do a bit more digging. So from that it looks like we have ...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: As mentioned before though, make sure to read through the comments rather than just flicking through star ratings. Popular words these days which we've seen across huge numbers of legal professionals sites include 'modern', 'specialist', 'friendly', 'leading' and so on. ...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: class="infoquote "We're not stuck in our ways, we'll find the best solution for you and your legal challenges."< div> There are literally (and I'm using the old definition of that word) thousands of legal practices out there stating they are 'modern', 'friendly', ...


Howe and Co Solicitors: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 414386 howe-co" check out the pages for this firm< a> you can see contact details, confirmed areas of practice, specialist accreditations, staff details, and more. The firm did have testimonials on their website as ...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: There are other lawyers in the UK using Jacob in the name. You can also see what each solicitor specialises in. class="infoquote "worked tirelessly in what turned out to be a very complicated sale" "we felt supported and informed throughout the whole proces...


Khan Law Glasgow: That's a ridiculously simplistic example, but it hopefully conveys the general point. People have lost £millions over the past decade

KRS Wills & Probate: Some have forced themselves to stay open an extra half hour one day a week or to offer morning appointments every second Saturday - but on the whole, offers like this by KRS Estate Planning for out-of-hours appointments are rare . But be aware that Google still allows keywo...

Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: What we don't like is when solicitors go too far and start listing their favourite foods and pet's names. Can Branch Austin McCormick back this up? Well, certainly they are https: www.legal500.com firms 235872-branch-austin-llp 235274-london-england ?edition=2019-edition" ...


Levins Solicitors: You can always hang up and call back on the phone number you know is correct. We did find though that when you start typing 'levins solicitors' into Google it sometimes displays a totally different firm in the drop down suggestions. So Levins' founding date of 1986 (whils...


Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: Lindsays are under The Law Society of Scotland, but we're sad to say the Scottish site is far outdone by English Welsh version. However we thought it could be very helpful to take you through a few of the reasons we chose to work with them. A couple of years ago we ran a po...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: So it's always a good idea to bookmark sites like this if you plan on returning and never discuss payments or bank details via emai.. There were obviously a few niggles in our research. The reason we point out common errors is because of how easy it is for peopl...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: Two other property firms we recommend on our site and who we think do a great job have only 2-3 star ratings. No-one seems to go for 'macewan' or hyphenated versions of the domain. Phone the official number in the headed paper you've already been sent out and ask about it. ...


MGBe Legal Ltd: If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 47870 maria-gabriella-bettiga" the page for< a> the firm's main immigration solicitor, Gabriella Bettiga, for example - you'll see that she does indeed specialise in a huge range of immigration matters . Al...


Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: We've seen people leave negative reviews for a Criminal Law firm refusing to take a Personal Injury case. Alongside the qualification dates for the solicitors on the law society website, you'll see a tab marked Areas of Practice. That's very common though. This is very diffe...


Milners Law LLP: So minimal or even zero online reviews for even a great firm is not uncommon. If you saw someone posting a negative review about Pizza Hut saying 'they wouldn't sell me a Big Mac!' - you'd think they were a little nuts. Some staff have only a photo and direct contact details...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is one of the UK's leading law firms located in the City of London."< div> No matter how many law websites you've already dug through today, you'll have seen such a statement on all of them. Either way, still be on your guard when ...


Pacific Law: When reviews do start popping up though (and even in your searches of any company really) you need to take the time to read through comments. At the moment www.pacificlaw.com is owned by a firm in the US. However we have worked with some of the key players in the past. ...


Penerley Solicitors: 'Less-stuffy' is a phrase we're seeing pop up more and more in newer firm's sales pitches about their services. More recently though the number of people starting up their own small business or being self-employed has risen dramatically. Their site is https secure f...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: If you flick through the reviews on regular haunts such as Google, Yell, Trustpilot, Yelp, etc. Statements like the one above are displayed on practically every legal firm's website. But there are far more comments that we noticed, probably more so than most consumers would....


RD Costings Ltd: class="infoquote "RD Costings ... class="infoquote "We understand the devastating and traumatic effect being a victim of a violent crime, domestic or sexual abuse can have. At the moment the bulk of fraud is aimed at property law firms. For some areas you may w...


Reid and Black Solicitors: This is very different from the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) and we're putting together an article to explain the difference better. The majority are all like this and very positive. This is a great move because as our poll last year showed, most people don't tru...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: That's because not all Immigration firms deal with clients the same. A quick note on navigation though as when we tried searching for information around the web about this firm, Google wasn't the most helpful. For example, when we added the word 'reviews' to some of th...


Robin Somerville Barrister: He covers a very specialist range though, dealing with commercial and employment issues. For any law office, a lack of public reviews should never be taken as a bad sign . Certainly it's a very likely part of the reason he's so well regarded. Most companies will more li...


Conveyancing Search Providers: class="infoquote "Using our powerful IT systems we are able to streamline the whole search process so you can not only view completed searches can you can monitor the progress of each case in real time and see exactly when you will get it back."< div> The firm wa...


Springle Solicitors: Ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional is important too. We have written on a wide range of multi-practice firms over the years. Increasingly so. By reducing wasteful overheads, we can improve personal client service. Apparently it seems...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: Whereas a new brand legal practice that popped up last month could have several well seasoned lawyers with dozens of years' experience between them. Not to mention that Trustpilot's rating calculations mean that a firm with four 5 star reviews will end up with an average of ...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd: Taylor Price has a group of lawyers who joined the profession in every one of the last four decades. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 596831 taylor-price-legal-limited" check out the info page< a> for any firm on there you'll be shown all office loca...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: But several things stood out to us which we thought we would share. Whilst the majority of legal https: www.thisismoney.co.uk money mortgageshome article-3385825 Sarah-Ritchie-saved-45-000-dream-home-lost-devastating-new-scam.html" scams at the moment involve property m...


Trojan Solicitors: Rameez is listed as focusing on Civil Litigation and Family Law. As mentioned before though, whilst the firm is 'new' ( https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 11417981" having gone Limited in 2018< a>) we take that as a potentially positive...


Trust Inheritance Limited: So why might you pick a niche firm like Trust Inheritance Ltd over your local high street firm that covers estate matters as well? If you want to get more solid figures about the actual experience of solicitors within any law firm, you can usually get it from their lo...


Ullah Law Associates: The official name is ULA Solicitors Ltd and if you see any mentions of Ullah Law Associates (U.L.A.) - that was the name of the firm prior to 2018. This firm https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 607835 ula-solicitors-limited" is registered with< a> The Law Society o...
