Antony Hodari Legal Services: Something you'd want in any company really. Antony Hodari's claims in the snippet above were taken from their front page and are much more believable and can be checked on too.

Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: Then there will be a fifty year established divorce specialists with less reviews than I have fingers. There are a few "& Co" firms we've covered before that use a www.argueand.co.uk style and please remember that you can't have ampersands in web addresses - so none of the a...
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: Quite often it's the fault of the buyer seller or the other party's legal representation. But can you actually find out the expertise and experience of the firm's lawyers independently? class="infoquote "Our highly motivated and skilled team have a long-standing reputa...
BLZ Solicitors Ltd: One solicitor has experience with the immigration process whilst the other originally worked for the 'enemy' - i.e. You have to remember that your solicitor and their staff should be spending their time reading up on the newest matters in their field of expertise. No reall...
Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: class="infoquote "Branch Austin McCormick is a leading and highly commended law firm based in London's West End, which delivers exceptional legal advice to its clients."< div> Another common claim made by law firms is that they have a good reputation in the ind...
Trojan Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation. This firm does list customer testimonials on their website:
class="infoquote "first class service, excellent interpersonal skills, highly analytical"
"They always advised me of the perfect route"
"thorough professionalism thr...
Catteralls in Wakefield: They stated as such on their about us page. Sometimes over something as simple as receiving some official-looking emails stating they should pay their huge house deposit into a different bank account.
If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 412...
Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: Then search for firms handling 'financial mis-selling' matters. Simply emailing a CV to reception looks lazy. That just a couple of the reasons many general practice firms which would normally cover most litigation issues such as personal injury, medical negligence, and so...
Deo Volente Legal: There are titles such as 'How Brexit is going to Affect the Immigration Policies for the UK (2021)', 'Cryptocurrency and Wills', and 'How to Video-Witness a Will'. For motor offence court cases you may be better off with a Direct Access barrister. Most interesting to us tho...
Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: The official site is https secure for filling your personal details into their contact forms. However, this can sometimes make it much easier to spot something that really does stand out . Some firms will give you 15 mins, some may charge a reduced fee for an initial cons...
Special Education Needs Lawyer: Another statement on their front page that stands out is:
class="infoquote "Evening and weekend appointments can be arranged."< div>
This is actually rarer an offer than you might think. But just as with the NHS constantly providing a poor service, cutting corner...
Fair Result Divorce:
On the plus side though, the people working at the firm have both professional and (according to their About Us page) personal experience of divorce proceedings . It's one of the few commercial sectors left where they believe an ancient founding date should give them ...
Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: But according to our poll last year, many members of the public also find them useful in helping judge the quality, experience and establishment of a firm when looking to choose one for their own case. And by large we mean, well, large. So what are people saying about the ...
Fultons Estate Agents: Don't just flick through star ratings. Those few extra case types and the conveyancing make up the firm's full case range. Of course many firms post testimonials themselves on their site.
One thing to watch out for when going through reviews for conveyancing firms is t...
Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: A good range of seasoned experience alongside fresh blood and hopefully new ideas.
class="infoquote "excellent friendly polite proffesional staff"
"worked through the case very methodically but still managed to achieve the deadline needed"
"seamless, profes...
Hooper Hyde Solicitors:
The practice of having different brandings for various offices or case types within a firm became even more popular just over a decade ago due to some (both poorly conceived and poorly executed) changes in advertising guidelines amongst solicitors. Confirming the exper...
Howe and Co Solicitors: The majority of lawyers and law firms in the UK are registered with a local Law Society either at the national, county, or sometimes town level. So it's always best to actually read the comments themselves and company responses if available rather than just flicking through ...
Khan Law Glasgow:
Despite the range of other 'Khan' law firms, this firm focuses on Personal Injury which doesn't have as much risk as things such as Property matters. Read the actual comments.
class="infoquote "Raees was awarded the 'Rising Star in Law Award' at the prestigious...
KRS Wills & Probate: This is a great benefit for clients as it means a better chance of getting legal help from someone with focused expertise and experience in your particular type of case. The Direct Access scheme allows members of the public to hire barristers themselves rather than having...
Levins Solicitors: So if there are dozens of positive reviews about a legal company and all the negative reviews are about conveyancing - it's something to keep in mind. The branding logo of the firm states Levins Solicitors though and neither www.levinssolicitors.co.uk or the dot com are curr...
Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: After reading through the comments we saw three one star messages all regarding the same thing - with comments such as "Don't sell 20 stanley Road!" Apparently some of the local people wanted this particular property to be protected due it's history and their request was...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: For example they still linked to the now very defunct Google+ platform and many of the links we clicked on both our desktop and phone browser made the page 'jump' rather than change. So it's always a good idea to bookmark sites like this if you plan on returning and never d...
McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: The official site is www.mcewanfraserlegal.co.uk and currently www.mcewanfraserlegal.com does not redirect you there.
There is a huge amount of public reviews about the firm though.
class="infoquote "The service they provide is second to none, particularly the ...
Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd:
class="infoquote "Contact us for a FREE claims assessment & no obligation confidential chat."< div>
This statement on the other hand is something you should absolutely expect from any lawyer that handles personal injury matters. But when it comes to solicitors, no...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: You can also see what each solicitor specialises in. So having direct contact details for every lawyer at the firm listed on their site is a thankfully growing trend - but by no means common. There are dozens of alternates to try such as jacobslawsolicitors.org no to mention...
MGBe Legal Ltd: Also, MGBe Legal is the trading name of M&G Bettiga Limited if you see it come up during your own research.
Not so with MGBe as https: mgbelegal.com blog " their blog section< a> articles seem genuinely intended to help with titles such as 'The 7 most common error...
Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: There are also https: www.theguardian.com money 2021 jan 02 homebuyers-scams-stamp-duty-holiday-" many scams right now involving house deposits< a>. That's a bigger deal than you might think. However this offer seems to be for Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors' whole cas...
Milners Law LLP:
A quick note on navigation. An enviable position for any firm to be in which can surely only benefit clients. People naturally write differently in response to these requests from the actual firm compared to how they write comments to their circle of friends. So this ...
OTS Immigration Solicitors: The majority were positive like the snippets above. So stars don't always reflect real position in the minds of previous clients. There are many areas of law where people automatically seem to be drawn to specialist firms such as for Criminal Defence, Divorce, Motor Offenc...
Pacific Law: This is because whilst people are very happy to jump online and give praise about their new toaster - they are less likely to rush to a public forum to discuss how their recent divorce, will writing, criminal defence, or bankruptcy went. You are just as likely to get a one y...
Penerley Solicitors:
class="infoquote "our innovative and less-stuffy approach to providing legal services ensure that the focus is always on results"< div>
It's sad but true that many of the 'well-established' law firms that go around quoting they've been solicitors for over 200 yea...
Pump Court Chambers Barristers: Even if someone phones you up asking about money, don't be afraid to politely decline and ring the firm back on the official number you have. They also state:
class="infoquote "we have provided high-quality legal representation to clients in the UK and overseas for mor...
RD Costings Ltd:
When you see firms stating "no win, no fee" across their site, that doesn't necessarily mean there are no fees at all. (Your solicitor needs to get paid, right?) However your solicitor will typically already be recovering their fees and expenses from the third party....
Reid and Black Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.reidblack.com with www.reidblack.co.uk not currently showing anything at all.
One last clip from the firm's own website showing a further service they offer that many firms no longer help with:
class="infoquote "undertakes...
Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to cover a multitude of services, there are some that clearly go well beyond their capabilities.
class="infoquote "We can offer fixed fees if you are not eligible for legal aid"< div>
This is another statement that mi...
Robin Somerville Barrister: However barristers are regulated by the Bar Standards Council who unfortunately do not provide as much information compared to wonderful resources such as The Law Society of England & Wales. If you https: www.barstandardsboard.org.uk barristers-register 1EC6FFF89B3F3A07C...
Conveyancing Search Providers:
The correct firm tends to come up at the top of search results for the majority of phrases we tried. But it's surely a fair one. Also most of the fraud involved in conveyancing transactions tend to focus on actual buyer seller clients of the actual law firms. But that'...
Springle Solicitors: Increasingly so.
At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without leaving a will . Another phrase concept we seem to have imported from the US. That's something much rarer for a law firm to do than you might think. As the percentage of people writin...
Stenfield Solicitors Ltd:
class="infoquote "Specialising in a wide range of practice areas including commercial litigation, company commercial, residential property, commercial property, insolvency, employment and family."< div>
One good place to start is a local law society website. There...
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. Such as needing to watch out for people who simply can't search properly. It's not the age of ...
The Injury Solicitor Salford: They do not mean the same thing. This includes leaders in their field and companies that could simply be considered 'less ordinary'. No win, no fee just means that if you lose there will be no fees. (Generally known as 'resellers'.) Those firms that cold-call you asking ...
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...
