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:

ABS Lawyers Ltd: They really actively target and can properly communicate with (and therefore surely better represent) Polish speaking claimants. In this case, the solicitors certainly aren't 'green'. Sometimes based on just a couple of official looking emails telling them to suddenly switch...


Aconveyancing Ltd: If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 631441 aconveyancing-limited" the page for this firm< a> you'll be able to view alternate contact details, languages spoken at the firm, qualification dates of solicitors, and more. class="infoquote "We’re...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: The firm we covered yesterday were very explicit about how their divorce experiences had led them to create their alternative mediation service. So you should get the correct firm popping up on most expected searches. It takes all sorts I guess. It certainly does help to h...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. We've talked to hundreds upon hundreds of potential clients over the twenty years we've been working in the legal industry. So how do you judge such things? Sadly in Scotland the Law Society does not provide nearly as much useful user-side in...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: However even then there are options such as hiring a barrister through the new Direct Access scheme instead of going through a solicitor. Their website is https secure though for entering your person details in the contact form. Certainly we can't think of one that's more ...


Bilkus and Boyle: Sadly so many firms use terms such as 'modern', 'friendly', 'established', etc. They may very well assign a one year qualified newbie solicitor to handle your legal matter. However the whole ancient-history-boasting across the legal industry is really just a marketing p...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: So unfortunately, this phrase has become quite meaningless in relation to indicating what the firm does differently. So never underestimate the value of free consultation statements on a solicitor's site. One thing we have frequently quoted as a dislike on law firm's ...


Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: Another is for fraudsters to send out emails pretending to be their solicitor and stating that the bank details for the house deposit they're sending has changed. If you've read any of our other articles before, you'll know that we don't put a lot of stock in 'established in...

Trojan Solicitors: Rhod Gilbert's https: www.youtube.com watch?v=drKC3Zd3SqM" award winning mince pie rant< a> very much relates to how we feel on the subject. The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. Before that point y...


Catteralls in Wakefield: The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. At the moment nearly every search variant we tried such as 'cateralls solicitors' or 'catterals solicitors' s...


Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: 'we are a large firm that really doesn't feel welcoming at all'. These days that doesn't just mean picking between one of the high street solicitors in your town. Many of which may not be the type of thing the regular consumer might have noticed when going through it. These ...


Deo Volente Legal: We try to offer varied legal service options across a wide range of case types. They prefer to source reviews from independent review forums such as Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Yell, Yelp, etc. For example they have solicitor Dorothy Turner with a qualifying date bac...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: But it's really not a negative sign if a law firm you're looking up has few or even zero online comments about them. That's not something we are so keen on. Dylan Nair state being able to communicate in English, Hungarian, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, and Gujaraiti on their website...


Special Education Needs Lawyer: One last point made on the firm's website: class="infoquote "We advise all parents families to take early action, early intervention can be most effective."< div> For some types of legal matter you can have anything from several months to three whole years to addr...


Fair Result Divorce: There were some testimonials on the company's own website: class="infoquote "the whole process was dealt with so smoothly" "I got the best outcome possible" "the contrast in their services between my first traditional divorce using lawyers was astounding" ...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: 100% compensation guaranteed means there will be no fees if you WIN either. For this firm to have individual offices within the UK that have remained focused on a relatively small target group and one that can bring just regular smaller (again, relatively) claimants alongs...


Fultons Estate Agents: Fultons do not seem to have done so, but that's not really a big issue considering that in our poll last year where we asked people how much they trusted customer testimonials on company websites - only 8% said they took them into consideration. class="infoquote "ap...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: Hawkridge & Co on the other hand have big clear logos at the bottom of their page showing Lexcel Accreditation, the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners, Accredited by Solicitors for the Elderly, and so on. But frankly, no law firm is going to advertise themselve...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: class="infoquote "HooperHyde is a trading name of CLP Group Limited"< div> On the law society's website you'll be able to see a great deal of information about their registered firms and professionals. HooperHyde obviously stood out to us enough for them ...


Howe and Co Solicitors: It can be quite difficult to dig out the pertinent details in order to make what feels like an informed decision. The official website we link to above is www.howe.co.uk, with www.howe.com taking you to a design company in the USA. This can sometimes end up in reviews abou...


Khan Law Glasgow: Some review forums had zero negative comments . So, yes. For all we know their award could be for best logo design or for having the nicest waiting room chairs. class="infoquote "Raees was awarded the 'Rising Star in Law Award' at the prestigious Scottish Asian Busi...


KRS Wills & Probate: The quote above is from the website of KRS Estate Planning and we absolutely agree that making a will is something hugely important that many people leave far too late to sort. Why people fall for that, we don't really know. Thanks to creation of the internet, law fi...


Levins Solicitors: But the solicitor will always get the blame. We've genuinely seen one firm that stated they were 'continuing a 150 year history in the area' based on the fact they'd moved into a building previously occupied by a much older firm. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside youn...


Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: instead. Most of the time it's just simply a fake email to clients telling them to send their house deposit to the fraudsters bank account instead. A quick note on navigation. Their website also isn't plastered with carefully selected testimonials, boasts about awards ...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: The situation was at least slightly covered in https: www.dailymail.co.uk news article-3784457 Huge-rise-debt-judgements-against-families.html" this news piece< a> on the Daily Mail website where Mason Bullock where sought for comment. This niche focus and lengthy ex...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: There is a huge amount of public reviews about the firm though. As the firm deals with property matters, this raises the possibility of scams which are on the rise despite the https: www.telegraph.co.uk money consumer-affairs property-sellers-warned-not-to-emai...


Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "We have a strong emphasis on client care and providing a friendly and no jargon service keeping you fully updated on the case at all stages."< div> If you've already flicked through a bunch of other lawyer websites today, you'll have quickly noti...

Jacobs Law Solicitors: e.g. There are things we absolutely would consider make a firm "modern" and having an online booking form like Jacobs Law do is certainly one of them. However for all three - they're quite meaningless. So having direct contact details for every lawyer at the firm listed on...


MGBe Legal Ltd: Thankfully MGBe Legal is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which offers a wealth of information user-side. Someone who constantly updates themselves in the new legislation and guidelines. But until you've actually used the firm, how can you judge whether thi...


Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: There will always be 'specialist' firms that target a single case type such as Motoring Offences or Divorce. Others include Peter FitzGerald who joined the UK legal system in 1996, right up to Sarah Price in 2003. For some reason, those clients go right ahead and send tens o...


Milners Law LLP: We did see a few negative ratings but the comments were not particularly helpful as to why such a rating had been left. class="infoquote "Our partners have amassed some seriously heavyweight legal experience working for bigger, more expensive, law firms. A good mix of...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: Either way, still be on your guard when typing in web address and never discuss bank details via email. At the time of writing they had over 450+ reviews on Google which is quite unheard of for a law firm . There are quite a few ways to check the differences between fi...


Pacific Law: This could include breaking away from the typical 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours and offering some late night appointments. However the risks are minimal as the majority of scams involved the legal industry https: www.falmouthpacket.co.uk news 18674736.cornwall-property-s...


Penerley Solicitors: We really don't advise relying on any individual ratings about a company without accompanying explained reasons. But at the moment, Google is listing their hours as closed all weekend. We've been trying to find some of these specialists to add to our network and seeking thos...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: They want clients 2 miles, 20, or even 200 miles away. They also state: class="infoquote "we have provided high-quality legal representation to clients in the UK and overseas for more than 70 years"< div> Which all sounds great. not the very nice helpful reception...


RD Costings Ltd: Two of our staff worked on such cases for years including CICA matters.) But if firm took on a lot of less simple cases such as medical negligence, uninsured drivers, or criminal injury matters - then the 25% commission is often vital to them being able to operate pro...


Reid and Black Solicitors: So being registered with the local law society is completely understandable. But for now, if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 508489 reid-black-solicitors-limited" take a look at the page< a> for this firm on The Law Society of England & Wales' website you'...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: One good way to check up on a law firm or an individual solicitor's expertise and experience is through the local law society. class="infoquote "Providing expert legal advice and representation for Personal injury, Immigration, Professional Discipline and litigati...


Robin Somerville Barrister: Reviews of law firms are therefore always going to be less than other industries. They would then contact a barrister to actually do the work and court representation. Direct Access for the public to barristers has been a hugely welcome change in the legal system . Non...


Conveyancing Search Providers: It probably doesn't occur to employees of a firm to jump on the web to write a review about a service their company uses. If you've read some of our other articles where we research solicitors, barristers and law practices across the UK - you'll probably be used to seei...


Springle Solicitors: This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are already dealing with the death itself. Always keep aware of what site you're on and who you're chatting with - either by email or phone. Springle and Company have a page on their site https: springleandco.co.uk our-f...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: A last word from the firm's site: class="infoquote "98% of clients said they were happy with the result we achieved for them"< div>. There are dozens including those at the national, county and city level. class="infoquote "very impressed with the efficient handl...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd: One that they seem to be offering face to face initial consultations for free at either of their Leeds or Levenshulme offices - not just a phone call with a junior staff member. For example most firms will also claim a certain amount of experience, although not always in t...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: They do not mean the same thing. There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting wisdom to the rest of the staff. The branding is not nearly as important as the actual solicitor assigned to your case. It's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct si...


Trust Inheritance Limited: A last word from the firm's website: class="infoquote "We set the benchmark for excellence and go that extra mile to make that happen!"< div>. Obviously we sound very pro-this-company and this could come across as bias. Words like 'modern', 'fresh', and 'friendly'...
