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: But you may get some useful extra bits of info nonetheless. We have over twenty years' experience flicking through law firm websites. If not, try searching for a more local law society such as at the county or city level. Plus alternative legal assistance such as barristers ...

Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: We absolutely recommend reading through comments about a firm rather than relying on star ratings. It's not uncommon for a firm claiming 'founded in the 1800s!' to consist mostly of solicitors with only a couple of years' experience. Whereas a new brand legal practice that p...


Aconveyancing Ltd: None of that seemed to apply to Aconveyancing's reviews. However we have seen several property firms with much more available opening hours than Aconveyancing, extending into evenings and weekends. Aconveyancing Ltd became so in mid-2013. Also, there is a huge issue of...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: One we saw last week was particularly odd because the complaint was about a criminal law firm that refused to handle a 'simple injury claim!'. But the name is so unique that if you type 'anthony hodari' into a search the correct firm still pops up. If we do discover it, we'l...


Assured Probate Services: At the moment both www.apslegal.com and www.apslegal.co.uk don't seem to be owned by the firm. Unfortunately we're still unclear on the various qualifications than can be obtained. Plus many of the consultants have their own websites promoting their services. class="i...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: You can read an article here where we cover the 'why' on that one. class="infoquote "... (And I'm missing a couple of those.) It's just that unlike reviewing the food or service at a restaurant - people are not nearly as quick to share their experience of being defe...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: provide advice and guidance should a contested hearing need to be arranged and assist with representation ..."< div> The list of services Aspire state on their website is extensive. Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services are probably one of the most niche firms we'...


Bilkus and Boyle: But the client will generally blame their own solicitor. The opposite is also true as Bilkus & Boyle have a 5 star review for serving excellent food and being a dog friendly restaurant. You may also find that many of the lowest ratings often have nothing to do with t...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: No really, that last one actually happens more than we ever thought possible. www.blzsolicitors.co.uk is the official site we link to above and currently www.blzsolicitors.com doesn't seem to be owned by anyone. class="infoquote "BLZ Solicitors is a modern law firm tha...


Catteralls in Wakefield: Catteralls are signed up with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have a fantastic website full of consumer information on firms. class="infoquote "Catteralls Solicitors have been based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire for over 100 years."< di...


DFA Law Solicitors: For example, this from the DFA Law website: class="infoquote "DFA Law has been advising clients in Northamptonshire, and across the region, for over 180 years."< div> We've mentioned in previous articles that long establishment dates are not the be-all and end-...


Deo Volente Legal: However these ancient establishment date claims are mostly just marketing. 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 jus...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: On this occasion the fact this firm is offering considerable free time for non-litigation matters is the point of note. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 469206 dylan-nair-solicitors-limited" take a look at the page< a> for any particular firm you c...

Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: It's just far less likely that someone will rush online to discuss how they feel about their criminal law case or messy divorce than it is for them to jump online and tell you about the restaurant they just ate at. We've covered many firms that proudly start off their websit...


Special Education Needs Lawyer: There are quite a few large firms that will take your Education Law case on. You never know what scam will be next though so always make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments or bank details via email . Some will offer a reduced fee for the f...


Fair Result Divorce: With the generic words in the brand name and the hyphenation, there are obviously dozens of other possibilities not to mention common typos with double lettered middles such as using 'fairesult'. Most lawyers will give you 15-60 minutes of their time over the phone before st...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: Even more odd was the comment about them having 'very understanding traffic wardens'. The majority are positive. They didn't provide any specifics other than to state something such as having been dealt with 'rudely'. We therefore think there may be some confusion wit...


Fultons Estate Agents: Obviously there will be people trying a wide variety of close-but-not-quite attempts such as fultons-solicitors or fultonssolicitors. There were the expected negative reviews though which did tend to follow the common pattern for negative comments of conveyancing firms - e.g...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: Frankly many issues are totally outside your solicitor's control such as land searches, mortgage applications and so on. It's definitely something to keep in mind whenever you're checking for reviews about any firm that handles property matters. These kinds of things are n...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: Sometimes you do. On hand ready to help you with your business needs."< div> The majority of firms will make a statement like this one on the HooperHyde site relating to their experience. Sadly, some businesses use marketing jargon to try and cover up when they don't ha...


Howe and Co Solicitors: One of the few areas of law Howe & Co don't actually handle though is Conveyancing, which is the most common legal area facing fraudsters at the moment. 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. If y...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: Ian Mallon are signed up with both the Northern Ireland Law Society and The Law Society of England & Wales. For example, we saw a negative review of a Divorce specialist for refusing to take on someone's Personal Injury case. class="infoquote "Ian graduated from Queen...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: For example: class="infoquote "Established in 2013, Jacobs Law Solicitors specialise in advising and supporting individuals, small companies and multi-nationals in the UK."< div> This may seem like a standard opener on the Jacobs Law website, but to us it shows a...


Khan Law Glasgow: class="infoquote "Raees was awarded the 'Rising Star in Law Award' at the prestigious Scottish Asian Business Awards"< div> As mentioned before, the number of firms claiming to be award-winning is huge. That's because we've seen law firms with five star reviews ...


Levins Solicitors: So how do Levins Solicitors stack up on such boards? class="infoquote "professionalism and experience were of great comfort" "Without them by my side ... Currently www.levinslaw.com is owned by someone else. We don't just gush about how wonderful they are with lot...


Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: class="infoquote "We are proud to sponsor Eilish McColgan, one of the rising female track stars of Scottish and UK athletics"< div> Firms will often do charity events raising a few hundred pounds for something then get several news articles about it put out. Afte...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: Granted it's definitely taken alot more time than in other industries. We've worked with and written about this firm before when they were originally called Linkilaw Ltd. So you may not be able to see reviews under the new name on the usual sites like Google, Yelp, TrustPilo...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales and about this firm you'll see Andrew Crisp's stated areas of expertise and that he ...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: Whilst MFL are mentioned in the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 6448 mcewan-fraser-legal" England & Wales database< a>, they are not actually based down there so full information is sadly not provided. It may surprise you therefore to see us ...


MGBe Legal Ltd: It's not hard to imagine in the circumstances where, rather than seeking out the heavy resources of a huge general practice firm, people want someone who deals with these matters day and day out. They tend to focus on property law firms https: www.cifas.org.uk insight frau...


NV Legal Solicitors: Also, there aren't many scams targeting personal injury claimants at the moment. Whilst it can be common for senior solicitors to have their more junior staff do large chunks of the grunt work - that is something you probably will never know about. There are two frequently u...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: Even if someone phones you, you can always hang up and call your known solicitor back on the actual number you were originally given. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 601629 ots-solicitors-ltd" check the pages for this firm< a> you'll see a wealth of deta...


Pacific Law: Always check. The official website we link to above is www.pacificlaw.co.uk, however recently they changed this www.pacificlaw.org - but either will get you to the correct website. But the major mobile players we checked all direct 0800 for free now. This is an area of ...


Penerley Solicitors: For some reason, thousands of people have easily fallen for this. The Law Society of England & Wales has a great user-side display of information and the majority of legal professionals will register with their national, county and sometimes even city law society. This is ...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: So how can you work out the best one for you between the lines? class="infoquote "Our barristers and clerks are approachable, straightforward and focused on solving problems quickly and cost-effectively."< div> At the bottom of most of their website pages Pump Cou...


RD Costings Ltd: There is a big difference between a firm that says "no win, no fee" and "100% compensation guaranteed" . This is not true for all firms or all types of cases though. A quick note on navigation. www.rdcosting.co.uk) also were not currently in use at the time of wri...


Reid and Black Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are widely recognised Legal Experts in Claims"< div> Every single legal practice has a website these days with various catchphrases and sales-pitch sentences like this one. This is a great move because as our poll last year showed, most peop...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: Law societies can be national, countywide, or attached to a large population city. So for Richmond Legal to cover both these quite specialist areas together - is actually quite unusual. Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to cover a multitude of services, there are...


Robin Somerville Barrister: Most companies will more likely have some vague references to greatness, such as 'we are one of the leading award-winning law firms in the area!' . When the new rules came in, they were not simply applied to all barristers. class="infoquote "Most of Robin’s clients i...


Conveyancing Search Providers: The official site which we link to above is www.searchbureau.co.uk but www.thesearchbureau.co.uk will also redirect you there. They offer tools to Conveyancing firms around England & Wales allowing their clients to consolidate a wide range of work into one setup. c...


Springle Solicitors: We have written on a wide range of multi-practice firms over the years. This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are already dealing with the death itself. There are always new laws and taxes coming out year on year. class="infoquote "The law is complex but...


SR Law Solicitors London: Not only that, when it turned out the staff member couldn't actually help with the problem - they gave some helpful advice and passed them on to someone that might be able to deal with the matter rather than just saying 'sorry, can't help you'. The Law Society of England & ...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: These days solicitors move around law practices and even start up their own much more than just a few decades ago. But these differences should definitely be explained clearly by the firm you are thinking of going with. We always ensure there are a good dollop of main-stream...


Trust Inheritance Limited: However we hope the information and links provided above at least show why we were more than happy to add Trust Inheritance to our database of recommended firms. We don't just add anyone. Rather than simply only doing the one case types, specialists in Estate matters will ...


TSABI Ltd Solicitors: class="infoquote "Individuals and businesses that have been referred to us are usually by other legal professionals, former or existing clients, personal recommendations, local business, and community links."< div>. We also recommend that if someone calls you to discu...
